agitation seems to be calculated to
give the bankers more power by
means of which they may satisfy
their own selfish desires at the cost
of the public.
Our present currency system
seems to work very well and is sup
posed to be the best in the world.
Why then should we embark on a
dangerous experiment that places in
the hands of the bankers the power
to get further clutch on the throats
of the public and squeeze an addl
tional tribute from the horny hands
of industry.

together right when it refers to the
pursuits of men, but when it comes
to allowing the banks of the country
to make all laws governing their
business. and to dictate the finan-
cial policy of this country, it must
be taken with a grain of allowance.
This flexible currency idea sounds
nice, and seems all right on its face.
There seems to be nothing wrong
in the idea of issuing more money
when the business of the country
demands it and in taking up the
surplus when things become dull.
Yet, we believe the theory is wrong
and is likelo to cause serious trouble
if put into effect. 1t is generally
agreed that we have plenty of money
in the country TO satisfy the bust
ness demands, but like the freigh;
cars it becomes congested at Ger
tain points in the line of business,
at times, and scarce at other points.

CULLOM'S UTOPtAN SCHEME
Utter Folly Of Supposing that
the Tariff Cam Be Taken
Out of Politics

Senator Cullom of Illinois is re.
ported as propo sing to introduce,
in the Senate, joint resolution
providing for the creation of a
mon partisan commission" of eek,
perts" TO report or the schedules of
the TaTiff!and make such recommen-
dations as it may desire for "revis-
ion" We had such a commission
once, and it made a sad mess of it.
The result was a series of intrigues
lasting for the whole life of the com
mission, Tariff fight at the end,
the defeat of the Republican party,
new Tariff which Cleveland would
not sign, fewcyears of misery un =
der it, and a final return to the sound
principles OF Protection.
The folly of Senator Cullom is
fundamental. 1t assumes that the
Tariff question can be anything but
a political question. Protecuonists
and Free-Trade men differ radi-
cally. Protecuonists believe that
every America industry which is
capable of supplying domestic de-
mands for its products with sufi p
clent surplus to permit domestic
competition to set up should be
Protected. The amount of Pro-
lection does not matter, so that it is
enough. Its object is to give the
American market to the American
producer. If it does this, it salts
hes the Protectionists. If it does
not, they wish the Tariff to be made
higher. All other products they
would admit free, and if in the Pro-
tected articles the Tarif is not made
prohibltive, it is owing to the neces-
sites of revenue. The National
Government cannot do without
some revenue from imported arti-
cles, and the policy of Protectionists
is such a reasonable adjustment of

JUST AS USUAL
A. WOMAN IN THE CASE
THIS TINE.

AS is most frequently the case in
mans downfall there is a woman
tangled up in the matter. Bellamy
Storer, who for years has been very
prominent in the consular service
and enjoyed the confidence and per-
sonal esteme of Pres. Roosevelt,
has fallen from grace and been
summarily dismissed from the SER
vice.
The foundation of his trouble
seems to have been the overpower-
ing ambition of his wife. She, very
lau1sbly, seems to have thought
her husband very big man,
in fact, big enough to give
the President advice on important
questions of state, and therefore,
desired a cabinet place for him.
She also wished to become dstin-
guished as leader in church affairs
and tried to enlist the Presidents
aid in her schemes.
Storer seemed not to have the
nerve to control his wife or else
shared with her the belief that he
and she were it. 1t seems the Pres.
first cautioned her by letter, in which
he plainly told her she must behave
or her husband would lose his Job
They both relied on personal friend
ship of the President and Mrs
Storer continued in her objection
able course and was joined by he

ing. The results were, the ak fel

now retire to private life.

duties as will produce the necessary
revenue, tc be laid on competitive
or non-competitivc commodities, as
may seem best, preferably on art
cles imported largely but which.
like sugar, we produce to some ex.
tent. The Free Traders have an
entirely different theory. If they
could they would abolish all tax on
imports except port and lighthouse
dues. But they also are constrained
by the necessity of revenue and re
cognize that there must be Tariff
law. In framing it, however, they
would levy duties, so far as posi-
BILE, on commodies which we canno,
or do not produce and, therefore.
must import. They do this be
cause revenue being their only rea-
son for consenting to any Tariff on
imports they choose those articles
which we must import. because
from them the most certain and
largest revenue can be got from the
SMALLEST number of commodities.
They do not give Protection any
consideration whatever. While all
this is the theoretical policy of the
two parties, practically all Ameri-
cav Tariff laws have been comprom
ises. With Free-Trade Congress
the Tariff would give the least pos
sible Protection. A Protectlonist
Congress would give the most posi-
ble Protection.
The question of Protection or
Free-Trade is matter of opinion.
On that the American people have
always divided. The Republican
party has almost no permanent dis.
Inactive doctrine except that of
Protection. The Democratic party
has almost no permanent distinctive
doctrine except that of Free -Trae.
To take the Tariff question "out of
politics" would leave neither party
much of anything except scramble
for Offices. under opportunist pre-
lenses such as the Democratic parry
now makes with respect to the pass
ing issues of the day. The Repub-
llcan party is now in power. 1t is
responsible for carrying on the
Government. On such vital
question as that of the Tariff the
leaders have no right to take Demo
Gratis into counsel. Let a Republi-
can Congress assume responsibility
for legislation or no legislation on
Republicansprinciple and allow the
Democrats the privilege of voting
the other way and bringing the
people to their views, if they can.

WILL PREPAY INTEREST
SECRETARY SHAW TO RELIEVE
THE MONEY MARKET.

The Secretary of the Treasury has given
notice to the holders of United States bonds
that the interest maturing on the several in
terest dates between and including January
l and May l, 1907, will be prepaid without
rebate on and after December Is, 1906.
Checks for the interest due January /, 1907,
on registered bonds will be mailed to the
owners on or before the 18th instant. The
amount Of interest which may thus be pre-
paid is nearly $12,OOOOOO.
In anticipating this payment Secretary
Shaw stated that he was Influenced by the
fact that the treasury collected surplus rev.
enues amounting to S7,O00,O00 in the month
of November and that the current month is
also likely to be a month of surplus receipts.
In December, 1865. the surplus receipts were
five and onehalf millions. The action taken,
therefore, releases for use in the business
of the country a sum practically equal to
the surplus receipts for November and De-
cember. In the present activity of business
the Secretary said he was unwilling to per-
nit the operations of this department to ag-
gravate present conditions in the money
market. 1t was thought best to anticipate
two quarterly payments at one time, in
this way holders of registered bonds will
only be obliged to send the bonds to the
treasury to be stamped once instead of
twice.

HONGkONG, December 6.-The South

that the Chinese flag has been hoisted over

held by the Japanese since the beginning Of

their military operations in Manchnria.

NOTICE TO THE BANKS.
The Treasury Will Give Small Bills
for Larger Ones

The Secretary Of the Treasury today
issued the following open letter to all bank
ing institutions of the United States:
"A very marked scarcity of small bills
is noticeable everywhere and the treasury
is powerless to relieve 1T. In the absence
of legislation allowing national banks to
issue a large proportion of their circula-
ton in denominations Of five dollars. the
banks themselves must be relied upon to
alleviate the strain as far as possible.
There are in circulation nearly fifteen mil
lion dollars In silver certificates of the de-
nomination of ten dollars. Many of these
are doubtless packed away In the vaults
of various banking institutions and he'd
as reserve. Permit me respectfully to ask
that each institution, state aud national,
search the money in It's vaults and send
these ten dollar silver certificates to the
treasury. They will be promptly converted
into ones and twos to the very great relief
of the country. 1t is the only remedy. Let
no bank complain of conditions until It
has literally searched its own vaults and
contributed as far as possible to the relief
Of the situation"
