sonal moment to himself than candl-

Time was when the Journal was free
to speak and certain to be needed

4 This new movement of merchandise
from, the United States to Japanese
territory in China is especially inter-
esting, both in view of the interest
felt regarding the effect of Japanese
occupation upon American trade with
that section of China and the relation
of this movement to the figures of our
trade with China proper. Our total
exports to the Chinese empire for the
ten months ending with October, 1907,

empire the aggregate to the Chinese

slightly in excess of that OF the cor

why NOT A CENTRAL BANK2

It seems to be very generally ac-
cepted among those who lay claim to
political wisdom that the people OF
the United States are politically not
ready for a central bank Many astute
statesmen admit that the tlnanciers are
right in the opinion that a central
bank of issue properly organized would
solve many Of our financial ills, but
they waive aside the suggestion with
the remark that it is politically i'm
possible.
Upon what do they base this asser-
ton? The people who are in business
today are not the same men VINO con-
Quoted business in JackSons time.
They are not bound by the opinion Of
the country at that time. Collectively
they are vastly more intelligent. Bank
ers have learned during the past thirty
days that people generally know more
about the banking business than any
one ever dreamed that they would
know Why. then, say that a central
bank of issue is politically impossible?
If the people of Chicago will accept
S14,O00,0 900 of clearing house certiti-
Gates with no one but the Chicago
banks back of Them what reason is
there to believe that the people of
the United States would object to

house associations going into partner

proposed that this central bank be
owned by the national banks and the
federal government Jointly. that it be
managed by a board of directors APP
pointed some by the government and
some by the clearing house assocla-
tons of the large reserve cities. A
place on such directorate would rival
that on the supreme bench in dignity
and the central bank could become
clearing house association for the
whole United States, performing the
same function for all the country that
each local association now performs
for It's city. The metallic money be-
longing to the government could be
4 kept in it's reserve and the govern
ment's funds kept in circulation by
being deposited with the central bank
Z where other banks could obtain ac-
cess to currency upon the proper
showing of need and security. If the
great majority Of financiers will unite
on such scheme, what is there about
dt to scare the general public? Nobody
finds any complaint about the local
clearing house associations.

HE is not quite SO Objectionable as

Inasmuch as Hen was considered by
the Morningstars quite good enough
for Ollie, this rejection Of him by Eu-

her refusal Of Abe.
