NEGRO REPUBLIC PROPOSED.
Representative Gillespie Has Plan
for Settling Race Troubles.

Representative Gillespie. Of Texas. ia
vors a plan for the acquisition of territory
in Africa On which TO colonize. under the
supervision of the United States govern
ment, all negroes vino desire TO leave this
country. Mr.. Gillespie does not suggest
the enforced deportation Of any members
Of the colored race. but thinks the govern
ment should pay the expenses of trans
porting to the proposed new republic any
negroes who wish TO go there.
The Texas Congressman has examined
the law bearing on the matter and is con-
WINGED that his plan is constitutional. He
probably will introduce a bill providing
for the carrying out of his scheme shortly
after Congress reassembles.
The idea was not suggested to him by
the Brownsville riot, he says. nor does he
claim that IL is new There is no race
hatred in the movement" he said. in dis
cUssing it, but only a desire 10 do what
is best for all the races"

Spirit of Speculation.

In discussing the matter of speculation,
the Secretary says:
Very likely as much money is tied up
in options and margins in real estate as
in options and margins on stocks and
bonds. II is idle to complain of the in
evitabIe. The spirit Of speculation is
among US, and, like the drink habit. those
most addicted are frequently the loudest
in its denunciation."
Comptroller Ridgely, in urging cur
rency legislation, says: Perhaps the
most noteworthy and serious point in the
situation on January /, 1907, as compared
with previous years. is that there has
been a much greater increase in the vol
ume Of business TO be transacted than in
the amount Of reserve money on which il
is based.
Further on in his statement he says
when there is very active demand for
reserve money In the banks, and at the
same time a demand for currency for
cash transactions, il is a very wasteful
use Of the reserve money TO take il out
Of the hanks, either to lock up in the
Treasury or to use as a circulating me
dunn Tor cash transactions.
