A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

Students of political economy gem
orally present, all sides Of a question.
Thosenof us that see the greatest good
TO the greatest number in the system
of protection, now have magazine
writer. Sydney Whitman, pointing out
prominent effect of free trade in
England
1t is his opinion that free trade is
running England by making the neces-
sites of life too cheap, and inducing
the working classes to think that as
living is low, and thus life no great
hardship, they can spend a large part
Of their time in idleness. Hence they
fail to attain the thrift. hardihood, and
good husbandry which are so general
Nv seen among the poor and the mid
die class in European nations great
and small. Not only free trade, but a
higher income tax is now the cry IN
England. .Sixpence more on the in
come tax. and you have free break
fast table, sixpence more and you have
the cost Of old-age pensions" says
y. L.. Garvirl, in The London National
Review, derisively, for he believes
"the home market should be held for
home trade" But Mr.. Whitman adds:
"Protection at it's worst. at least as
far as Germany is concerned, does not,
as far as my observation goes, burden
the masses to the extent it is usually
believed; for the simple reason that
they are much more frugally eco
nomical and their wives incomparably
better housekeepers than their Eng
fish cousins And this matter brings
me to the so-called higher standard
of life which the English working
classes are supposed to enjoy. But it
seems to me that this can only be sub
stantiated if we take the eating Of
large quantities of badly cooked beef
and mutton as implying a high stan
dard of living. According to my ex-
perience of the world a high standard
of life is not to be measured by the
consumption of butchers meat and
adulterated alcoholic drinks, but is
identical with a clean, well-ordered
life. For, as regards food alone, man
wants but little here below nor wants
that little long Judge by this STAN
dard the bulk Of the German working
classes Of both sexes live according to
a higher standard Of life than the
same classes in England. And as long

Noticing the standpat predictions OF
the cost of the primary election, the
Baxter New Era breaks out: THE cost

the Rlythes, Laceys, Hunters, Cousins
Hepburns. Palmers, all the friends OF
monopolies and reactionists of the vir-
ulent kind, cost the state and people
of Iowa every year 81 good many times
more times than $250,000."

the COUNTRY BANKERS OPPORTUNITY.

The education which the people OF
the United States are receiving in
banking finance these last few days
is something tremendous. The man
who never knew what it was to have
a. bank account has learned all about
one and those who have kept accounts
in banks for years are learning more
about the banking business than many
bankers knew few years ago. But
the whole benefit of the experience

self fails to see why the city bank.
congressional committees. controllers
Of the currency, secretaries of the
treasury and writers on finance have
been urging an asset currency for
this country.
Asset currency under various forms
of restrictions has been recommended
to congress by every succeeding sec
retary of the treasury for nearly forty
years. Committees on currency In
congress have drawn UP bills re-
peatedly, but when they went before
the national gatherings and conven-
lions of bankers the country banker
has always turned them down. Lately
under solicitation by the city banks.
those banks of the reserve centerS, q
special committee of the bankers ma
tional convention has formulated a
very simple plan for an asset currency
but, as yet, the opposition Of the coun-
try banker has been obdurate. The
opportunity has finally come for him
to see how asset currency would help
him.
The plan in brief provided that the
law should permit any well estab-
lished national bank with a surplus In
the business equal to 20 per cent OF
its capital to issue national bank notes
just like the notes it now issues, but
without depcsiting government bonds
as security. Up to 40 per cent OF the
bond secured notes it had outstanding
these new notes would be taxed Pa
per cent per annum. Beyond that and
up to one eighth of it's capital the tax
would be per cent and the bank
would be compelled to carry the same

GAMBLING HOUSES?
(Odebolt Chronicle)

Had the law prohibited trading in
margins there would have been no
money panic in New York. No man
should be permitted to buy stocks,
grain or anything else unless in good
faith, and in every case the law should
require an actual delivery. All specu-
lation would then be on legitimate
and solid basis. It is idle to talk about
currency reform until fictitious sales
are abolished. No measure providing
for more elastic currency which has
been proposed can meet the requires
ments of stock spectators who are
permitted to daily incur obligations
millions in excess Of their resources.
The boards Of trade of the country
are gambling houses which expect the
government to supply their capital.
Their financial excuses have FREE
quently shaken public credit and de-
stroyed confidence. They must be
either abolished or compelled to OBJ
serve the natural laws Of business.

Prohibition and sacramentai Wine.
Fearing that the state prohibition
law which will go into effect Jan. /,
will forbid the use of sacramental
wines. Georgia Baptist churches have
passed resolutions asking the governor
for ruling on the question. They
also request that, If their fears are
correct, he call special session of
the legislature to amend the statute
80 as to permit the continuance Of the
religious ceremony.
During the debate in the legislature
before the bill was passed 1t was
pointed out that the measure made no
provision for the sacrament. Support
ers of the measure were asked to
make some provision. but did not do

Declares Heaven Only State.

That heaven and hell were states
and not places was the declaration
made by Prof Gilbert Russell, head Of
the biblical department at Earlham
college, before the general conference
of the American Friends.
This opinion was the cause Of q
spirited debate in tthe conference,
some Of the members demanding that
1t be stricken from the records. This
was not DONE however.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

New England as tho Birthplace Of
Strange Cults.
News that Mrs. Katherine Tingley
| intends to duplicate in NeWburyport,
Mass, her theosophical colony at Point
Iona, Cal, leads the New York Chris
tian Advocate to comment on the
| Striking fact that New England has
been one Of the most prolific fields for
the cultivation of meta-p physical, social
and sexual fads." The same publica-
ton asserts that papers in Boston
have more advertisements of mys-
terious powers than in any other city
Of similar size in the country" After
reminding us that witchcraft flourished
there in the early days "as nowhere
else in the United States except among
the Indians and negroes" the writer
goes on to say:
"Millerism ran thru New England
like fire In 1843 and later in 1854:
Spiritualism, Shakerism, and Quaker
ism in an almost crazy form had q
long run. The free-love' aspect Of
Spiritualism took root there in many
places; and Mother Eddy found a
genial soil in and about Boston. Nor
monsm also caught a large number Of
people in its drag-net."
He calls 1t "a suggestive fact that
these strange systems reaped their
harvests among descendants of the
early settlers Of New England, and not
among the foreign hordes that have
descended upon 1t within the last fifty
years" BY way Of explanation he Of
