Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1903-03-02

The Peoria (Ill) Journal submits an
interesting question and provides at the
same time a plausible answer when it
says: ut is to be presumed that Sena-
tor Deliver knew what he was talking
about when he said that the duties in
the Dingley tariff bill were purposely
made high that they might be reduced
in furtherance of reciprocity. But if
Dolliver is telling the truth why was not
the agreement-for there must have
been one-carried out? Did the ex
tremely high protectionists bunko the
ones who are moderate protectionists
and after getting these duties so high
then proceed to hog the whole thing? 1t
really looks that way"

AN OFFICIAL EXAMPLE.

The interstate commerce commission

ate in response to resolution calling for
information regarding all securities is

standing Jure 80, 1900, interest and
dividends thereon, etc.
The report says that for the United
States, the total par value of railway
securities is Sill, TIA ,035, 1929, and their
market value, 1851 .lO3, 523. The capital
stock is stated to be, par value, 81, 02l,-
1854, 503, and market value, SO, 25O, IA ,495s
The par value OF the funded debt s
stated to be s., 7O2 ,671 1926, and the mar.
ket value, So, 100, 95s,927.
An examination of the above report
reveals but slight difference between
the par and market values of the funded
debt. The mortgages can always be
relied upon TO see that the security is
worth the loan.
But, just glance at the discrepancy in
the par and market values of the capital
stock and the securities. The differences
between those values represents the
water, or hot air that has been injected
into the investing public by the glib
promoters.

Latest Novelties in Millinery.

Mrs. NJ. M. Bacon, of the St. Paul
Millinery Store, go Heron street, has just
returned from San Francisco, accom-
panied by Mrs. E. L. Wolff.
Mrs. Bacon, while in San Francisco,
purchased the most complete stock OF
the latest style millinery goods, and, in
order to have those goods properly
trimmed in the latest fashions, engaged
Mrs. Wolff to come to Aberdeen and take
charge of the trimming in the Bacon
millinery parlors. Mrs. Wolff has a
reputation as milliner second to none
in San Francisco, and has had yea OF

city. q

The Tammany Times asked a number
OF democrats, "What must the demOcra.
tic party do to VIM" Among tie re.
plies was one from J. NJ. Head, mayor
of Nashville. Mayor Head said: eff
the people did not realize in 1896 that
the money trust was at the foundation
of all trusts, they are now very fast be-
ginning to realize that the meat, sugar,
tobacco, steel and transportation trusts
are not only capable of debating the
policy of the government, but are
actually prescribing what you shall eat,
what you shall drink, how long you shall
labor, and wherewithal you shall be
clothed" The Tammany Times says
that it has grave doubts regarding the
maternity OF trusts, but it is certain Of
one thing, that "they have been sucked
at the breast and fondled on the lap OF
the republican party until they are big
and strong and capable of planning and
executing the destruction OF the nation"
Perhaps the Times will yet revise its
opinion on the maternity question.

PERPETUAL DEBT
OF SHAW REVi EWED
BY W. j. BRYAN.
To Boost the Asset Currency System, ScCre.
tary Shaw Alleges that Unless that System
is Adopted, the National Debt Must be
Made Permanent.

Secretary Shaw is the first Sc, rotary Of
the treasury to suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of
a permanent national debt. To be sure,
he puts it in the alternative and-uses it to
but the fact that he consldeIes it at all
shows the length to " hich he has gone in
surrendering to the dictation OF Wall
street. He says:
"rhe frequent purchase and retirement
vi bouds renders the amount available
for circulation gradually less, white a
rapidly growing population, additional
banking facilities, and expanding trade
suggest the need of an ever increasing
circulation. therefore believe the time
has arrived when it will be necessary to
adopt one Of two policies: either the gov
eminent deot must be perpetuaed as a
basis for national bank circulation, and
additional bonds issued as occasion may
may require, or some othe, system must
ne provided"
What IS that other system? TIE asset
currency that does not require bond
basis.
During the war national banks were
established to give a market for bonds.
now bonds must be issued to give a basis
for banking. And if the people do not
like a perpetual debt. let them accept an
asset currency as the least OF the two
evils That is the same logic that was
applied to the treasury notes and green
backs. The administration first an.
nounced that they would be redeemed in
gold on demand and then the people
we're told they must choose between an
endless chain and the retirement OF gov
eminent paper. TIE financiers refused
TO consider the wisdom OF exercising the
government right to choose the coin Of
payment-a plan which would have
stopped the endless chain without re:ir.
ing the paper-a plan the mere mention
of which by Secretary Manning stopped a
run on the treasury gold. And so now it
never occurs to Secretary Shaw and his
tutors in finance that the substitution of
greenbacks for bank notes would render
Il perpetual debt unnecessary and at the
same time remove the excuse for an asset
currency. The greenback is better than
Il bank note, for it is as secure as bank
note with government bond behind it
and has the advantage OF being legal
tender.
But no. The greenback is not part
of Mr.. Shaw's plan, for the bankers get
no profit ont Of its issue and cannot con.
troll the volume in their own interests.
Here is the money question again-an
important phase of it-and yet the re-
organizers are rs silent about it as the
republican leaders are. The republicans
seem to think they can do anything how.
but the test OF system comes in the
storm rather than in the calm, and when
the storm comes neither a perpetual debt
nor an asset currency will prove ac-
ceptabe.
But Secretary Shaw is certainly earning
a position at the head OF some big New
York bank-the reward that usually
comes to the treasury ofkcial who turns
the treasury department over to the New
York fnanciers.

promoters,

Sentiment in favor of the plan of the
election OF the United States senators by
popular vote is growing everywhere ex.
cept among the republican members of
the senate itself. The New York Even.
ing Posts says: at is increasingly
harder for highmin1ed statesmen to pass
into the senate. That body under the
present conditions draws to itself chiefly
the more presentablc bosses and the
mediocre sort of successful business men
who fill the party chest and do the boss
bidding -"Wea.th unguided and unin.
formed, untempered by a patriotic and
statesmanlike regard for the general
welfare" When the real power of the
senate oligarchy is fully understood by
the plain people we shall probably have
a constitutional amendment and popular
election OF senators. This will be no
sovereign remedy for the ills we have
spo ken Of. but it would at least improve
the personnel of the senate

Tt f IOWA IDEA

In speech delivered in Omaha re.
Gently, Governor Cummins said that
"there is no Iowa idea if by that it is
meant to convey the impression that re-
publicans OF Iowa hold any ideas which
distinguish them from the party in other
states" The protest in the Iowa repub-
lean platform against the shelter which
the tru is find in the tariff has come to
be known as the "Iowa idea" Can it
be possible that Governor Cummins
really believes that the republican party
in other states than Iowa believe in de-
priving the trusts of the tariff shelter?
In that same speech Governor Cumnins
said: 81 do not want to turn the party
over to the democrats and to save this
country that contingency, l believe we
should do what ought to be done our
selves whenever it ought t, be done."
Governor Cummins cannot BE- ignorant
of the fact that there are many repub'i-
can leaders who are determined that the
tariff advantages enjoyed by the trusts
shall not be interfered with. He cannot
be ignorant OF the fact that among the
republican leaders of this nation he is
not regarded as a good republican be.
cause he has on several occasions entered
vigorous protests against trust imposi-
tions and insisted upon practical relief
for the people so far at least as the tariff
is concerned.
