Appropriations and Politics.

The usual contradictory statements
are made by the leading men on the
committee on appropriations Of the
house. Mr.. Chairman Tawney says that
tho the government costs lot Of
money, 1t is less per capita than the
government Of any other, country.
Mr.. Livingston, 1.-The leading demo-
cratic member, compares the expendi-
lures under Roosevelt in 1906 with
those under Mckinley in 1898. and
draws the conclusion that the repub-
Hcan party is a party ofsaxtravagance,
extravaganza entered upon deliberately
to make burdensome tariff necessary.
This he says is part Of the republican
party's bargain with the trusts and
combinations to which it is welded.
There are few flaws in Mr.. Liv-
ingston' s reasoning:
First-There is no evidence Of any
great expenditures being undertaken
which all parties have, not substantially
agreed upon, unless it be the cost Of
the army and navy. The democrats
occasionally kick about those items, but
always agree to them in the end.
Second-If the republicans have en-
tered into bargain with trusts to keep
up the expenditures in order to keep
up the tariff in order that the said
combines may keep up prices, they are
pursuing an illogical policy. Huge ex-
penditures will inevitably demand a
reduction of the tariff to a minimum
revenue basis, and thus defeat the very
purpose of the alleged bargain.
Third-The only party which has done
anything to curb and reduce to- order
the combinations of capital is the re-
publican party. which is alleged to have
made bargain with them. .-@z~.., :.
The attempt to make political. CAPT.
tai out Of the appropriations has been
such failure in the past that one
would suppose it would be abandoned
by sensible statesmen. One party is
as bad as the other, only the democrats
are a little worse, since they let the
expenditures run up while the revenue
runs down. The republicans look after
the revenue. - - ">:.~
The expenses Of the government run
up because the public demands things.
Government expenses are not different
in principle from family expenses. A
growing family makes growing de-
mands. New items of expense continu-
ally develop. New sources Of revenue
are infrequent in their appearance
either in the family or in the nation.
The most that can be expected in the
family is constant and painful watch
fulness over the outgo. This is about
all that can be expected from congress.
That we got this from the fifty-ninth
| congress-, Chairman Tawney's state
ment is sufficient evidence. He has
made record for close scrutiny Of ap-
preparations never before excelled But
one human being cannot stand against
the pressure Of sO,OOO.OOO, with their
real or fancied necessities. The appro-
priations have increased. We are an
inconsistent race of beings IF Mime
apolis had her way she would undoubt-
eddy cut down the total expenditures
several millions and at the same time
add 100000 to the estimate for a post
office site here.

BITTER RATE WAR
THREATENS ROADS
GRAIN SITUATION CAUSES SEEM
INGLY HOPELESS TANGLE.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, July 3.-Freight traffic Of.
Meals. OF western roads are almost in
despair over the tumble in the grain
lieve that the rates will not be adjusted
until all OF the roads have been thrown
into bitter war. They declare that
not for years has there been such bad.
~ mixed situation as the present and
there are few indications of improve
ment.
Several of the Chicago Missouri river
roads have joined the Great Western
and North Western in the reduced
tariffs of grain from Iowa and other
western states to Chicago. This had
the effect to simplify matters between
Chicago and the Missouri river, but
west of the river conditions are badly
demoralized. ~E
Bottom Knocked Out.
Railroad men say that the action Of
the Union Pacific in extending the
practice Of allowing elevation charges
on all thru grain at the Missouri river
has knocked the bottom out of the
grain rate situation west of the Mis-
souri, river" They interpret the effect
of the new rule simply to cut ~ cents
a. 100 90 pounds In off the rate on ali grain
terms Of the Peavey contract, that COM
pany will be allowed IN cents for ele-
walton which will mean another reduc-
ton and 80 on almost without limit.
Union Pacific officials declare that
the Peavey contract is only an arrange
ment by which it obtains it's cars with
out delay, after the shipping reaches
the river. The Peavey contract pro-
vides for the payment of the charge
upon all grain whether it is consumed
locally or reconsigned to points in the
east. Many railroad officials believe
that the Union Pacific will not be able
to confne the allowance to thru grain
and thus prevent further rate cuts.
Chicago Men Complain.
Chicago grain men are complaining Of
the adjustment of the rates on grain
from the Missouri river to Toledo and
Detroit, thru Chicago as compared by
the rates thru St. Louis. They say
that the rates thru st. Louis are cents
hundred pounds lower than thru Chi
cago, and intimate that the fact that
prominent Toledo grain dealer is
member of the board of directors-of the
Wabash may have something to do with
the present state of affairs. & -
The rate from Missouri river points
to st. Louis on wheat is 734 cents and
from st. Louis to Toledo cents, max
ing the thru rate 14$ cents. From
Missouri river points to Chicago the
rate is 10& cents and from Chicago to
Toledo 6 cents, making the thru rate
1854 cents, or a differential of cents
against Chicago. The distance from
Kansas City to Toledo thru Chicago is
691 miles while thru ST. Louis it is IA
miles, but St. Louis gets the lower rate.

The Stock Market.

Another illustration Of the contrari-
ness of the stock market and of the
misleading indications of the Wall
street barometer may be found in the
present course Of prices. A bear mar
ket is on and occasional rallies are fol-
lowed by further declines. The turn
for the better may come at any time,
or it is possible liquidation may con-
tinue until some big blocks Of stocks
are dislodged and another erich
man 50 panic follows. Yet the coun-
try is doing a splendid business, con-
gross has adjourned. the crops are prom
Using big harvests and other things
that ordinarily stand for strong prices
for securities may be seen.
The conditions making for decline
are largely technical. They are peculiar
to the stock market rather than funda-
mental as concerns the country. Stocks
were high for one thing, and there
was opportunity for decline. The
bond market has been most unsatisfac-
tory. The big insurance companies are
not buying bonds, because their San
Francisco losses are calling for money
and commercial activity is using up the
surplus that might otherwise remain for
investment. Meanwhile the money.sup-
ply situation is not of the best, and
with the crops maturing and everything

and heavy call from the west for crop.
moving funds, the situation is not ia
vorable for bull campaign. Hence it
is rumored that some Of the larger and
most influential Wall street houses,
openly bullish on fundamental condi-
tions and believers In values, are Sc
cretly bearish and favorable to decline,
for the reason that they can see no
chance for activity at present price
levels, and in view Of the general stu
alton they believe that a severe de-
cline must be shown before a fresh
start can be made on the bull side.
If stocks continue to decline as they
have done for the past week, prices
will soon be seen, that, by comparison
with recent high levels, will call for
comment generally. At such time it
will be we'll to remember that there is
nothing the matter with the country,
and that the declines cannot be said to
foreshadow conditions present or imme-
diately to come. Wall street is not al
ways a safe guide. ,'' q =
