One of the serious questions now
confronting the railroads of the lard
is the increasing difficulty of securing
the ties necessary in their construc
ton and repair work. When it is 81
sidered that over one hundred million
ties are used every year merely to re-
new those edcayed and worn out that
timber for such ties is growing scarce
and the price arising to a prohibitive
figure, the alarm Of the railroads In
this regard can be readily understood.

Senator Allison Speaks ON Ma
tional Finances Before the
Bankers Club, Chicago
TOUCHES ON ASSET CURRENCY
Allison Does Not REGARD This Proposed
Radical Change of Our Laws as Pos
sibIe as Long as the Present System
of Direct Government Prevails-con-
siders Immediate Changes Unlikely.

Chicago, Dec. Ex-senator w. r
Allison. of Iowa, spoke before the
Bankers Club of this city Saturday
night upon Our Currency system and
our National Finances.
After recittng the history of the va
rious financial laws mat have been en-
acted by congress since 1872 the SEN
la.or took up the Bland-Al!ison and the
sherman acts. which. together pro-
vlded for all the silver dollars coined
and in circulation or represented by
silver certificates.
Il regarded in 1890 as 1 regard now
the act of that year as a mistake
said he, but 1t was the hest attainable
ihen as respects the coinage OF silver
dollars, and il ough; no. to BE- forgot
ZEN in the consideration of this sub
ject of the silver dollars that there has
been turned into the treasury as profit
Oh coinage about SlS0.0oo.000 in the ag-
gregate This creates i moral obliga-
ton on the part OF the government to
maintain these silver dollars at pa'd-
ty with gold coin outside of specific
provision OF Jaw directing it to be
done, twice passed by congress and
Emphasized in the act of 1900.
Our national banking system lacks
elasticity in one respect: National
banks can not curtail their circulation

Will. This can easily be remedied by
: modification of the law prohibiting
the retirement al the rate of more than
SO 100000 per month. Rut there ds
elasticity In the other direction as
shown by the fact that our national
bank circulation has very largely IN
creased in recent years.
IL have not discussed what is known
as the system of asset currency. l do
not see that this proposed radica.
change of our laws In respect to our
circulation is possible as long as our
present systs n of direct government
prevails. as IT would result In large
expansion OF the total volume OF the
currency and this expansion can not be
checked BY means of RAPID redemption,
because there is no motive to press
Nor can rapid redemp-
ton be secured under an asset system

q rlse so long as the government issues
In such large volume the government
would be called upon to provlae the
gold for the banks thru redemptlons OF
lis own issues and would be the store
house from which the banks Would
draw the gold to redeem their issues.
Thus would be created needless. end

CAN'T ASSESS AT CASH VALUE
Important Ruling of the District Court
in Cedar Rapids Cause.

Important Huttn9 OF esle 0'SSi'Ss >'
in Cedar Rapids Cause.
Cedar Rapids. Dec. 21.-The EFFORT
of the city of Cedar Rapids to make
the railways owning property in the
city pay taxes on full cash valuation,
reacted like boomerang on the city
when Judge Preston, OF the district
court held that neither Cedar Rapids
nor any other special charter city in
the state has any legal right to assess
property on a full cash valuation.
He held that the assessment must be
on fourth valuation only, the
Twenty-ninth General Assembly nav
ing made sections 1870 to 1873 of the
code applicable to special charter cities
placing them on the same footing In
regard to the assessment and taxation
of property as all other cities of the
state.
Cedar Rapids has been assessing
property at It's full cash valuation for
many years. and the levy has been con-
sidered in excess of the limitations
prescribed by the code.
The case was argued for the Mil
NaulSee by Judge Cook, of this city.
for the Northwestern by General So
ncitor James c. Davis. OF Des Moines.
and Senator James H. Trewin, of this
CITY. and for the Rock Island by At
torney S. X. Tracy of this city.

why farmers and feeders are running
in so many of this class of cattle is
hard TO understand. There is no time
of the year when the demand for the
poorly finished cattle is lighter han
before the holidays and when the lean
ing of the buyers is more strongly to-
ward the choice kinds.
Week before last the heavy cattle
got a terrible jolt, and We're reduced
to the lowest point of the season This
had the effect of shutting off the flood
of this kind to some extent. but there
was a world of the common ana med
iuna cattle received which would have
been better off in the feed lot. Though
already Very low. buyers managed to
trim off some more from the prices of
the cattle which lacked fat and finish.
Nearly all the cattle below medium
dropped back l0M20 cents during the
first three days of the week, but sal es-
men managed 10 hold values about
steady on the better classes.

Livestock Review.

Hog receipts last week total 234, 900 =
the largest number received here since
the week ending Dec. 1S, 1902, and, bar
ring that week, since February of 1902.
Many traders have in the past month
or more predicted that the run of hogs
would be very heavy during the latter
part of this month, as well as during
the early months of 1904, claiming thut
the country was we'll supplied with
hogs and that feeders We're awaiting
a favorable time for marketing, and
now, since their predictions have
shown prospects of fulfillment, many
are awaiting the outcome.
1t Is a long lane indeed that has
no turn, and many think that the time
for 4 turn in the cattle situation is
about due. Some feeders have thought
this for IA good while. but 80 far there
are no signs of change for the bat
ter. There Is no use Disgusting the
fact that the excessive supplies are en-
tirely responsible for the deplorable
situation. Buyers both on local ana
outside account, have been compelled
to take more cattle than they really
needed, because they We're here and
had 10 Se sold. For several months
feeders have kept the market crowded
TO the utmost limit, and no sooner does
the trade show signs of Improvement
than great flood is rushed in and the
marllst thrown into panicky damor
lied condition.
Last weeks receipts were not as
heavy as many that have preceded it,
but considering the status of the de-
mand they We're plenty heavy enough.
Nearly 10000 cattle Were received dur
ing the week, which is decrease of
about 1000 from last week and a gain
of close to 10000 compared with the
supply that came from the correspond
ing week last year. The decrease in
the supply this week was not sufficient
to give the market the tone that it
needed. Mondays receipts were liberal
and gave buyers quite an advantage
The same frigid discrimination against
the heavy cattle prevailed and there
