The Recent Storm.

The terrific and destructive storm
which set in last Thursday has sub
sided, and the Inhabitants of places
which suffered most are now taking in
ventories Many lives were lost, YES
sells wrecked, railroads tied up, tele-
graph lines crippled. cities and towns
flooded, hundreds of people driven
from their homes, thousands thrown
out of employment by the flooding of
mills and other industrial plants,
make up the record of disaster and
destruction caused by the raging of
the elements along the coast from Cape
Henry to New England, and through
portions of Virginia, Maryland, Della
ware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
New York. Nearly all the rivers and
creeks in the States overlooked INTO
the towns and country adjacent.
At Paterson, N. j., where the storm
caused by far the greatest money loss
fully ~, 600, GOETHE water in the
Passaic river has fallen. A small part
of a hill-all the rest having been
washed away-alone prevented the
torrent from rushing over a large ad.
ditional section Of the city. Hundreds
are homeless and are left dependent on
charity.
The Virginia coast, from Cape Henry
to Dam Neck Mills, twelve miles
south. was strewn with the wreckage
of Inflated vessels.

STEEL AND IRON AFFECTED

The iron ira lie has been seriously
affected by the formation OF the Steel
Trust and the Consolidated Lake Su
peri0r and other such companies. AT
the time The mammoth orgarjz aiions
were being arranged by the Captain
of Industry" no ore dared doubt or
deny the fact tbat there could be pros
perity without them. The day of in
dlvidual enterprise WAS gone We were
told, and TO manufacture cheaply we
must mai nfacture largely, and these
giant trusts would do that. Coal oil
Has cited as the first aud most lasting
proof of this. Coal oil once sold for 20
cents at retail, now 1t is cheaper than
water. Steel and iron would be affect
ed the same way. but alas, it is OIL,
the steel and iron stocks and not The
paoducts the nselves which have drop
ped SO low in public opinion. Home
stead Steel Works-the works which
will always be remem bered by the fact
that few years ago the Pinkerton
men and some other hirelings shot into
striking wOrkme as they were going
along public highway and killed a
number of men and boys-has been
closed throwing about 1000 wOrkmen
out. This is only in line, in u great
many portions of this country. In our
vicinity we learn that not furnace ia
in blast except Low Moor. ALI the rest
have drawn their fires and gone out of
business. Now this exemplifes the
wisdom of Wall Street going into all
kinds OF business which she does not
understand. That blighting creatures
hand has been laid upon many branch
es Of industry. From the corner of
Wall and Broad Streets-Mr. Morgan s
office-thele has swept over this coun-
try a simeon as deadly as ever passed
over the jungles of Africa. Individual
in dustry and enterprise went down
before it. The giants breath wi,hered
it, and now the apparently marvellous
growth which sprang up on the des-
troyed fields has also felt the blast
from the same source, and it too has
W ithered, and desolation and destruc-
tion are everywhere.
Yet we are told that these same peo-
pie, this same Wall Street must run
the National Government. If the
management of our industries is a
sample of what the nation must expect
then God forbid. Wall Street is too
wise, her captains are too bold, her
NapoleoDs are too Napoleonic. The
country wants none of them and as
the best evidence Of the fact that they
are unfit to guide any branch of the
National Government, Is their undoing
of the commercial and Industrial con-
ditions.

d" ASSET CURRENCY"

pie. What is an asset Currency" 7
1t is a currency based on anything
anything that can be called an asset.
Farms are assets, horses, cows, wheat,
corn. all these are assets. But these
are not what the money lender wants
on which to base currency. He wants
to issue notes based not On government

What would currency be worth

WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Regular CORRESPONDENT

From our Regular correspondent
Washington, ID. g., Oct. 12.-It is
we'll known that the republicans are
hopelessly divided on the question of
currency legislation and it now seems
certain that they will get out of the
difficulty by appointing joint com
mlttee which will examine the needs
OF currency legislation and submit re-
concentrations to Congress. Repre-
sentative Hill, of Connecticut, the
ranking member of the last House
Committee on Banking and Currency.
has discussed the plan and declares that
many republicans are in favor of it.
W lille they do not believe that Con.
gress is likely to accept the recOmmen-
dations of the committee without re-
viewing the whole subject, they point
out that it is better to have the pres
ent differences fought out in commit
tee, than on the floor of Congress. and
also that it will postpone this embar-
RAISING question until after the presi-
Dental campaign. Having thus post

WHO SHALL LEAD US?

There are some who now openly de-
clare that the nomination Of Mr..
Roosevelt will be political bundar
which must insure defeat. Strange as
it may seem many of those who so
readily forecast the political future are
those who gained reputation in fore
casting the two defeats of Mr.. Bryan.
To have hit the political nail so
sQuarely on the head as these prognos-
ticators did in 1895 and 1900. must
surely tend to increase ones estimate
of ones ability to look clean through
grindstone. But in addition 10 thier
ability to Xray the whole situation.
they recall that the Republican party
is much in the same fix as the Demo
cratic party was in 1900. They say the
Democrats at heart did not Esnt Mr..
Bryan, but took him out OF political
necessity. The Republicans do not
want Mr.. Roosevelt. but will be com
PEELED to take him from force of cir.
cdmstances, and that the Republican
party thereby is On the same certain
and inevitable road to defeat, which
the Democratic party travelled in 1900.
After telling us this. the seers shut
their mouths as to the most interest,"
Ing part of the whole, they tell us not
who will be the David to go out and
clay this Goliah; they tell US not who
