THINKS PROHIBITION UNFAIR
Petition Introduced I'm House by
Member from New York.

Representative Goulden. of New York.
has introduced in the House a petition
from the Abney-Drury Brewing Company.
concerning the possibility Of the question
Of prohibition in the District coming up
this yesr
After calling attention to the fact that
the interest represented by the company
has rights Of it's own, and that the per-
centage of crime in Washington is so
small that there is little reason for at
tempting prohibition as a panacea for
all Ills. the petition says:
You must realize the magnitude Of the prohibition
question. Should prohibition prohibit-and the re-
verse has proved the rule wherever it has been
tried-tarfs would have to be TearTanged in order
20 make up deficit in Federal revenues for il must
be borne in mind that Cne-tbird Of the government
income comes from inteTpal revenue.
The sovereign right OF a State to deprive the Fed
era government Of It's internal revenue seems 10 be
established. But when State after successive leg
isatiYe acts. shuts down the manufacturing estab-
lshments paying the internal revenue asks from the
Federal government appropriations for river and har
bor Improvements. rural free deliveries public build
ings and expects protection against lawessness and
against foreign enemies does not the question arise:
Can the prohibition States EXPECT that the MONEYS
paid into the United States Treasury by anti-pro-
hibition States in the form of internal revenues
should be expended for the benefit Of prohibition
Statcsg
Granting for the nonee that the negro OF the
South requires the leash Of prohibition in order 10
make him safe citizen. there IS certainly no need
OF such paternaism here in Washington. What the
incorporate negro Of the South needs is education
do al other peoples Of whatever color OF cline

or another, These issued money without
limit Every man carried In his pocket
a ''detector." which was a printed list Of
forged and counterfeit notes. The news
papers each day carried long lists of bank
note quotations. Tor one could not tell
whether a $ bill was forth S or 5 cents
until he looked UP that particular banks
rating in a reliable list of quotations. The
tax of 10 per cent on the issue Of bank
notes by State banks put an effeetual end
to the ''wild-catters." although the con-
stitutionaiity Of the act is still doubted
by some OF the leading lawyers Of the
country. This tax was imposed at the
time Of the passage Of the national bank
act OF 1863
The panic Of 1873 is associated closely
with a certain bit Of legislation some
times called the Crime Of 10" At any
rate, the coinage laws were changed IN
that year. and silver has never been the
same since. The panic OF 1854 was at
tempted 70 be met by a tariff bill. the peo-
pie then believing in commercial rather
than strictly financial remedies. The panic
Of 1890 caused another change in the coin
age laws and the silver purchasing
clause OF the Sherman act was put on the
statute books The much greater panic
of 1898 caused the calling Of an extra
ordinary session OF Congress 10 repeal the
same purchasing clause. These two bits
.of legislation awakened the whole coun-
try 10 talking Of financial legislation, and
that interest was famed into white heat
in the campaign Of 1886. The Repubh-
cans. being successful in that campaign
on a bimetaiiic platform leaniBg toward
the gold standard. placed a law on the
statute books which only partly pleased
the extreme gold party, but which was
enough 10 settle the question.
Since that time the need for currency
reform has been talked OF IN every Con-
gress. The last Congress passed the AID
rich bin without so much as causing a
ripple on the surface Of a becalmed sea
OF public opinion. But the necessary
quality OF elasticity in our system Of cur
rency is still lacking. and the trouble has
been recently demonstrated. Everybody
is now awake 70 the fact that something
is wrong with financial conditions when
the most prosperous country in the world
at the most prosperous stage Of its whole
history can 60 10 bed az night with
plenty OF money for every purpose and
wake uD in the morning without enough
