the money question by performing
the ostrich act.
AS result of the Republican finan.
cial and industrial policies we have
today in the treasury Of this country
more gold belonging TO the United
States than was ever held by any gov
ernment in the history of the world.
Over a hundred thousand men are
today voluntarily idle and yet so
great have been their wages and in.
comes during the past few years that
they experience no suffering.
In 1860 the first law which the new
Republican party succeeded in placing
on the statute books was the so
called "Morrill tariff" At that time
we were exporting forty million dol
lars worth Of manufactures. During
the fiscal year ending 1904 we export
eel about eleven times that amount or
four hundred aud fifty million dollars
worth.
There never was President in the
White House who was greater
friend Of the laboring man than Theo-
dore Roosevelt. His record, from the
time when he was an assemblyman in
the New York legislature, to the pres
ent, has been a consistent one in this
respect, President Roosevelt stands
as the friend Of the lawmaker and
the enemy Of the lawbreaker no mat
Ter what his politics or bis ealling.

DOMESTIC SERVICE PROBLEM.

I see that Mrs Frederick Harrison has been advocating the adoption in England of the character book, or service book,s which is used on the continent and elsewhere for recording the services and credentials of do- nestle servants. It's desirability seems to me to be beyond question, for, from the employers point of view, police ratification of the entries would give the books an authority which it would not otherwise possess, while, from the servants point of view the official character of the book would be some protection against in correct or malicious entries on the part of the employers.
 This question is really of more inn portance to employers than to ser wants, because the unsatisfac actory po- sitiOn of the character question at the present time undoubtedly exercises 2 powerful effect in keeping girls out of domestic service. As things are at present, employers are constantly inn posed upon by more or less fraudulent characters, and servants are often seriously injured by the refusal to give them a character or by unjusti- fable misrepreSenta ton made against them by mistresses out of pure spite. Many women refuse absolutely from pure vindictiveness to give charac- ter to a servant who leaves in conse- quence of some trivial disagreement; and there are many mistresses who are really unfit to be trusted with the power of damaging another persona character without liability to be called to accOuIr or it,
 From every point of view the pres ent system is utterly bad, aId those who suffer from the dearth of compe- tent domestic seryants-which in. cludes, judging from my experience 99 per cent of the married ladies of the. present day-would welcome any amendment of it if they knew their own interests. The two first amend ments required are G) that every ser want shall be entitled, if not to 3 character at any rate to a state. ment of the time she has been in the service and the reason why she has left it. and @ some guarantee that this record of service shall be accurate and stworthy.-London Truth. |

Subject of Muscovite Diplomacy Brings Up Illustrative

At a little gathering of officials the other day the talk turned on the diplo- matic duel between the Russians and Japanese, and there was quite differ ence of opinion as to whether the Mos covite or the little man from the ia, east is the most expert diplomatist, re- lates London Tatler.

"Frenzied Finance* Lawson of

"Frenzied Finance" Lawson of Bos-
ton, who has been showing up the
"Amalgamated Copper" and ''Stand-
ard Oil'' skeletons with all their
grinning graft, sent the cold chills
down the back of the stock market in
New York last Thursday, when he
made an onslaught on "Amalga-
mated" and sympathetic stocks that
made the leaders, the big operators
themselves, leave their private retreats
and crawl out to protect themselves.
Lawson's attacks on :Amalgamated' -
and "Standard Oil' methods in his
''Frenzied Finance" and his personal
appeal to all holders of "Amalga-
mated" to let loose, acted like an
earthquake on the market. He in
serted four-column ads in the leading
dailies of the east and west "iust be-
fore the battle, mother' warning all
to drop their stocks and there was a
drop. The panic that was precipi-
tated will be known as the Lawson
panic" Of course the big holders
protected themselves, but at an expen-
sive cost. No real benefits will re-
suit, however. It's the same old
story; the dear people love to fish on
the stock market, they love to be hum
plugged and held up. It's fascinating.
Lawson had his fun and satisfaction.
and made his enemies hunt pretty hard
for their roosts. The operations will
continue It'll the end of the world and
there's no telling what the ''Standard
Oil" will try to do in the next.

The postmaster general has dis
missed Frank n. Cunningham Of
South Omaha, Neb., president of the
National Association of Letter Car
riers. Cunningham was dismissed be-
cause of insuborination, that is to say
he was just little too much interested
in securing legislation which increased
the pay of the poorly-paid rural route
carrier. Technically speaking Cum
ningham violated the presidents or
der, but if he was guilty and deserved
dismissal then every member of the
Rural Letter Carriers association is
just as guilty. If the rural letter car
riers of the country continued driving
their little carts ovre the country with
a great big placard reading, ''Thanks
for the job'' hanging on their carts,
and had waited for congress to act.
they would still be living on rolled
oats and prospects.
