Has the money strinsency struck Washington What has become of all the small bills that used to float so freely around the capital? and we might ask without impropriety, what has become of the large bills, for there seems to be a dearth of both, writes a Washington correspondent. Yet the government pays off twice a month with the same old regularity. There has been much talk among bankers and lawmakers about the necessity of more elastic currency, but the man who will invent some process by which dollar bill can be stretched SO as 10 cover half what a dollar used to cover. will be a great benefactor to the Smeriean part of mankind Or. if that process cannot be discovered, perhaps way can be found to stretch beefsteak so as to cover the dollar bill asked for it. Pure food is a good thing, but the burning question now is to get any kind. or at least enough food. Everybody re- members that when we were all talk ing about q gold standard one class of our politicians called gold dollar the poor mans dollar. That was good talk and sounded we'll, but oh. for the man who can find the poor mans beefstcak so as to leave him a small fraction of his dollar.

the tobacco nor the sugar Interests .of America have anything to fear from the reduction of the tariff on
 Philippine products. That, too. is the judgment of the president and Secretary Taft. Thus far. however, the tobacco and sugar trusts in this country have been powerful enough
 to prevent favorable action on the pending measure.
 As a matter of concrete fact. as in- iicated by one senator, politics presidential politics-has entered in- to a consideration of the tariff aues. tion. There arc men on the Philip

 want to make trouble for Secretary Taft and they will fight him to the end. Whether he eventually will win remains yet to be seen.

The United States senate Is about to be enriched by another millionaire member whose money has been rolled up through the operations of a trust. When Senator Thomas N. Patterson of Colorado retires March . of this year his place will be taken by $ gentleman bearing tho name of sam uel Guggenheim. Out in Colorado they know Guggenheim as the man vno by welding all the smelters into d single monopolistic corporation has managed 10 take heavy toll from the miners of gold and silver. He typifies most strikingly the phrase in MT Bryan's "cross of gold" speech that described the men who while the miners were burrowing in the depths of the earth for precious metals sit in closely guarded offices to corner the money Of the world. lt is report cd with apparent accuracy that Gug- Eenheim's election cost him a million of dollars. He himself admits that
 he bought the votes needed to elect
 him by paying the campaign expenses of candidates of the legislature who were pledged to vote for him. This
 unfortunately does not come under
 tine provisions of any corrupt practice law. and the senate which is the
 judge of the credentials of its nlem-
 bers has no precedent uPOn which ts base an effort to oust this trust mag nate who bought his seat.
