THE BETTER WAY.

In his speech at the Uuion League club banquet
n New York. ex-Secretary Root said There IS a
better way Of protecting property, capital and great
enterprises than by buying legislators. There IS a
better way Of dealing with labor and keeping it from
running in tumult and resistless riot than by starv-
mo it or buying or corrupting its leaders,
This better way 50 far as legislators are concerned
will be found when men are elected to the legislature
who do not seek election in order that they may make
merchandise of themselves the Ledger says SO long
As rampant reformers who want to make unreasoh-
able laws can be elected just long those who can
not afford to be robbed by the making of unreason-
able statutes will resort to corruption as conven-
lent defense So long the labor organizations put
sgrafters to the front they must expect to be sold
ont when opportunity offers. The fault does not lie

IN danger viii always defend themselves with the
most convenient weapon that promises tobe effective
Mr. Root has done well to state the fact that there
is a better way to defend against robbery IN the
nome of the law than by corruption, as forcefuy as

NEW YORK AND LONDON.

A comparative statement of the bank clearings
in New York and London shows the curious fact that
while those Of the American city are declining in
comparison with the highest total scored here, the
transactions Of the banks Of the British metropolis
are advancing While New York s clearings for 1903
were $13,000000000 below those Of 1901 which were
the highest mark ever touched here the clearngs Of
London s banks in 1903 were $3000000000 above
those Of 1901 and $5000O0O00 over those of 1902
Nevertheless New York is still far ahead Of London
in the grand total. While New York clearings in
the year just ended amounted to $66O00O00.O00
in round figures, those Of the London banks were
only $50,600000000. The American city was more
than $15,000000000 ahead of the British METROPOLIS
in this very important activity If the bank trans
actions be fair criterion Of the volume of general
business, then New York is far ahead Of LondOn In
its grand aggregate Of trade The proportonate ex-
tent to which checks are used in business in the two
centers, of course, is matter which has very i'm
p0rtant bearing on these figures on making compar
