Don't you think congress has the
constitutional right to do that if it
wants to. You are a good lawyer.
Don't you think if congress should

that it would end all attempts to cor

1t is my impression under such a
law the treasurer of the United States
would never get hold of any Of those
bonds unless the great industrial ac-
tivity it would set In motion should
become so extensive and important
that there would be an actual shortage
Of money in circulation to meet the

What the South needs above all
else is peace, and public and private
improvements. If it were not for the
doctrine Of state rights, the govern
ment might be induced to purchase
all the railways and run them at cost
for the public benefit, as quietly as it
now handles its postal department;
but the ghost of state rights is one
bar In the way to human progress.

great Calhoun agreed with Clay, until
he was forced to abandon it in order
to protect slavery; but Clay. although

The South had better have given rrp
slavery then, and stuck to protection

imagine what might have been il
they had done so? But that is past.

TAFT Wearing
BRYAN's CLOTHES
Observation-Disclosures
New Orleans States.
New Orleans States.

Yesterday at Columbus, Ohio. Sec.
reetary Taft, wearing the political
clothes of Mr. William j. Bryan, de-
hvered speech in which he congrat-
ulated the country on what PresidenE
Roosevelt nd done for IT by ignoring
the politics OF the Republican party
and adopting those announced seven
years ago by William ]. Bryan and
are conspicuous today as the main
planlzS of the national platform or
the Democratic party
The regulation of the railroads and
the industrial trusts and the revision
OF the tariff are policies that have
been filched from the platform adopt
ed by tine national Democracy three
years ago and constituted the burden
of Mr.. Taft's speech, speech that
was rather interesting inasmuch as
about one-haN of 1t was devoted to
eulogizing the good results which
have followed the application of dem
ocratfc principles to government and
the other half to a verbal attack upon
Mr.. Bryan, whose political clothes are
now serving to embellish the candI-
dacy of the distinguished gentleman
whom the President has selected to
be his successor in the White House.
Mr.. Taft had a good deal TO say
about the reforms that had been ac-
conBplished by the rate bill and the
abuses it had destroyed, but he failed
to mention that the measure would
have been fhrottle6 by a majority of
his own party in the senate had "
not been for the uncompromising sup
port it received from the Democratic
senators, whose votes saved it in com
mitee where a determined effort was
made to strangle it, and whose per
slstent light prevented 1t from being
slaughtered in the open senate.
President Roosevelt candidate for
the presidency also announced that
he is in favor of an income taY-an-
other Democratic policy-nct now, OF
course, but at some indefinite time
IN the future when 1.-The government

ment," so the owners Of swollen for
tunes" are assured that there is no
immediate danger of being called on
TO contribute portion Of them for
the support of the government. The
country had been led to believe that
MI Taft would sound a keynote On
the question OF tariff revision-one of
the stolen Democratic policies-but
what he had to say is not encouraging
TO those who are hoping for relief
from the burden of tariff taxation.
He is IN favor of revision only be-
cause he desires TO chloroform the
issue and prevent its being of any
use to the Democratic party in tine
national campaign next year. He
tells the country that revision should
not be undertaken at all until the
party as a whole is in favor of il.
and as considerably more than one
nail OF the republican party are stall
Wart champions OF standpaa1sm, the

prospect of the tariff being revised by
its friends is not encouraging.
But Mr.. Taft is probably correct in
expressing the opinion that it would
be unwlse and unsafe for the repub
lican party not to pledge in its next
platform to revise the tariff after the
presidential election OF 1908. There is
no doubt whatever that the party will
make such a pledge and that if it
carries the election the pledge will
be violated quite as cheerfuliy as all
its previous pledges to correct tariff
abuses have been violated. There
fore in the light of the republican
record of the past ten years if the
people of the United States elect Taft
to the presidency with the expectation
Of receiving benefits of tariff reform
they will be most sadIy disappointed.

Stock Market Jobbing
and National Prosperity.

In connection with President
Roosevelt's severe denunciatiOn of
the stock market jobbers, the fol-
lowing editorial from the Memphis
Commercial-AppeaI expresses a view
of Wall streets lack of influence on
general property which cannot be too
generally understood. The CONNER
cial-Appeal says:
The stock market has had the long
est and most severe liquidation and
decline ever known, attended by no
important failures or business conVnl-
sions The failure few days ago of
q large automobile manufacturing
concern is the only instance of any
consequence and that is instructive
since it demonstrates that the first to
feel the effect of money str1ngency
are those who cater to the iuxuries
of the rich; for the automobile is
none other than a rich mans luxury.
The apparent inference from this is
that the losses have fallen upon the
rich. When q view is taken of the
general business of the country. the
Inference seems as real as it is ap-
parent Production in all of the
worlds necessities goes forward I'M

ence of Wall street is more remote.
is fully up to the standards of last
year ard former years at this season
All businesses not based largely upon
pure speculation are able to secure
necessary funds from the banks to
carry forward their enterprises and
with prospects of a moderate croS
outturn in grains and cotton the fu-
tire undoubtedly holds hope
That there may be some curtail-
ment of manufacturing industry in
certain lines is perhaps reasonably
certain. But as in the instance OF the
automobile concern, the loss VIII come
in the department of luxuries and
will scarcely affect the great body of
Wage-earners who are engaged in the
usual and necessary lines of produc-
tive activity. There are no symptoms
denOtipg that the country-s business
fabric has been infected by the mi
crobe of despair which has worked
so conVulsively in Wall street for the
past few months.
This was not true a few years ago.
when a few failures or a panic in
Wall street were calculated to throw.
the whole country into a state of IN
certainty and possible panic.
Now, the outside worfd-Nnd par
ticularly the world of business which
Is not based upon speculation-cares
little what happens in Wall street.
Today a panic in Wall street has no
more effect on the prosperity of the
legitimate industries of the country
than a panic in a raided gambling
house has on the business of the
department store two blocks down
the street.
Let President Roosevelt carry out
his program Of Furnishing the plumber
bund wherever the law VIII reach
their crimes, and let no legitimate
industry have any alarm FOR its own
welfare and security. The guilty
only need suffer. The honest, sub
staDtial business interests are safe.

The "RoosexeIt Slump,


There is no public evidence that
the president regards the serious fall
CT security values in Wall street as
calamity Or even as a. warning. Po-
liitical advantage may emerge from
business disaster. But for the money
panic of 1898 Mr.. Bryan would have
made no headway in 1896. Financial
interests and the owners of shares
and bonds are anXiouSly inquiring
whether the president will not put
forth some 'reassTring" statement.
What do they know about the pi7esi-
dents present point of view? Does IT
remain the same? What reason have
they to suppose that it has beeG
changed? Mr.. Roosevelt is known to
be hostile to swollen fortunes He
has publicly discussed, but has net
vet formulated, Ineth0dS for reiuc-
ing them or, at least, fer preventing
undue accumulation. During the past
three weeks tfle fortunes m2r1e up or
securities dealt in at the Now York
Stock Exchange have been reduced
at the rate Of a billion a week. Some
time the loss may in large part be
recovered; but, CT course, the recov-
cry will not accrue TO the advantage
or men who have been forced to sell
out. 1t is by no means al pager loss

SPORTING NOTES.

Commencing Tuesday this week the
Spokane ball team in the Northwest
ern league will open a series of 40
straight games at home They meet
Butte first for six games, and then
follows Seattle for six more the week
of August 10. August 20 they open
a seven-game series with Aberdeen
and then come nine with Tacoma, TAX
ing in the Labor day holiday double
header and a postponed game. Van
couver follows with six games the
week beginning September 8, and
Butte finishes the season for Spokane
the week ending Sunday, September
Is. This is the longest straight "at
home" season professional baseball
has ever known in Spokane.
The Western Canada league has
proved a decided success although
composed of but four clubs and two
of these located in cities Of but 1000
population, Medicine Hat and Leth-
bridge. There is little doubt but that
the league will expand to six or eight
clubs in 1908, embracing Winnipeg,
Regina, Brandon and Moose Jaw or
Saskatoon. The last cities named are
all of goodly size.

students of affairs in the far east.
China as an entity is in a condition as
precarious as the health of the dow

health of the latter leads to it's inevi-

Little regarding the situation sug-
gested by the above statements has

IS going on. From sources connected
with the latter comes the report that
sumo time ago the administration here
was quietly appraised that the health
Vi ,the dowager empress was failing

Will become the prey of plotters seek

AT the same time the powers are

situation by going in for a partition
