pay several hundreds of thous.

and junketing expenses to the
president annually, in addition
to his salary of 100000 per an.
mum plus thousands upon thous-

Read this from the Springfield
Mass. Republican: "Some lessons
of value, therefore, are to be learn
ed, and among them are these:
The belief has been deeply
cultivated that a money system
strongly resting on gold makes
panics impossible. 1t is a false no.
ton. The belief has had wide &C
Ceptance that a high protective tar
if protects from panics which come
only under low tariffs. That is
quite as false as the other. The be-
lief prevails to greater or less eX-
tent that a particular political par
ty possesses the exclusive power of
governing the country in freedom
from financial disaster and indus
trial relapses. That is even more
false than either of the other be-
liefs. Panics or financial crises are
made possible only by the existence
of the credit system, and the credit
system exists under the gold stand
ard as under any other money
standard, and it is in operation
whether tariffs are high or low, or
whether the republican party is in
power or not.

Senator Foraker of Ohio should
at least be given credit for candor
in his presidential aspiration. He
comes out fiat footed for high tar
if and non enforcement of restric-
tive measures against trusts and
corporations. He says he stands
just where the republican party has
stood since 1890, and this is true
beyond a chance for refutation.
The other candidates stand for just
what Foraker does but some of
them are too cowardly to come
out and make a clean breast of it.
Cannon is just as frank as Foraker
but the rest of them are in ambush.
