PILGRIMS MONUMENT.

At Provincetown, Mass, on the goth
inst. President Roosevelt was the
speaker at the laying of a
corner stone for a monument to the
Pilgrims. This monument has been
forced on those claiming descent from
the Pilgrim Fathers, or THOSE living
where the Pilgrim Fathers landed, by
the jamestown Exposition. The Cav
alier came to jamestown thirteen
years before the Pilgrim landed ct
Plymouth Rock and it may be thir-
teen years before the monument Is
finished, thus placing that monument
where it Justly belongs, at the tail of
the jamestown Exposition. But we
are very certain that this monument
would not now be building If the
jamestown Expo. had not been in
augurated. Seeing that the idea which
for some time has been pushed to the
front with true Yankee energy, that
this Nation owes it's existence to the
Pilgrims, and its greatness to their
descendants, is liable to be discredited
by the FACTS now for the first time
being put into cold type, owing to the
colonial history piling up at James
town, the Pilgrim w0rshiper has got
ten busy and has bethought himself OF
a monument for which, amid much
ceremony, he laid its corner stone last
Tuesday. We may now look for some
new history. some history which will
account for the fact that George
Washington of Va. and not Mass. was
the first president, although John
Adams of Mass, was the second; that
Thomas Jefferson of Va. was the
third: that James Madison OF Va,
was the fourth; that James Monroe of
Va, was the fifth, and that all of the
Virginians served two terms, whilst
John Adams and John Quincy Adams
of Mass. served only one term. Evil
IDENTIFY there was something wrong 10
the fact that the Pilgrims could not
get nearer the White House than they
did any oftener than they did. but sat
still on the rock upon which they land
ed. 1t is also strange that they did not
furnish commandment chief of the
American army in the Revolutionary
war, and especially SO that the surren
der of CORVALLIS did not take place
near Boston instead of on the soil of
Virginia. 1t is also strange that some
of the brains of the Pilgrims did not
evolve the Declaration of Ipdepend-
ence. But We must look to a new era.
Since the belated Pilgrim 3 monument
is now to be built there must be bla-
zoned on it reasons for the building Of
it other than that they st1u ck a rock
and got out of tneir ships and waded
ashore, and that this feat Was accom-
plished at Provincetown.

THE NEW FINANCIAL PLAN.

MIR. Cortelyou has devised new
financial plan. 1t consists of sending
to banks in the various cities of the
country funds from the Treasury in
such sums as the Secretary may deem
wise, and thus prevent strain at
those points. and avoid panic there
by. The plan may work. Under it be
sent $500, 600 to San Francisco and the
same to Chicago at once. We have no
objection to it under present condi-
tions. The money should be In circu
latiOn somewhere and not lying idle
in the Treasury. But we have one
unalterabIe objection to the system of
taxation which piles money in the
Treasury to be given to the National
Banks free of interest, to be lent again
to the people from whose savings it
has been taken by unjust, unwise and
onerOus taxation. One thing is shown
which must strike even the most I'M
tutOred mind. There is money in the
Treasury, or the Secretary could not
deposit it in the banks. We know that
money in the Treasury only reaches
there by taxation. We know that the
Treasurer deposits this money in the
National Banks without interest and
that the banks lend it to the people
at enormous interest. Thus the people
are Impoverished and the banks en-
riched by the conduct of our govern
ment. If this money had remained
where 1t belonged the people would not
be compelled to borrow it from the
banks, 1t would be in their pockets
where it originally was.
When the banks get this gift from
the government, for their profits to
them from the money is a glft-they
are not compelled to lend it to the peO-
pie. to enable them to move their crops
and carry on their legitimate business,
they may center it all in New York the
next day and thus give it to Wall street
to enable them to gamble more furi-
Ously than ever. The bankers stand
together. No sooner is it known that
$500, 900 has been sent to San Fran
cisco than New York may begin to ne
gOtiate for it, and it can in an hour
really be placed in Wall street, as much
SO as If the Secretary had placed it
there at first. 1t will greatly surprise
us if Mr.. COrtelyOu's plan gives any
noticeable relief. The relief which is
needed is the relief from taxation.
Every cent in the Treasury is exacted
from the people by taxation. The
government does not need it and ought
not to have 1t. Those who brag on our
prosperity. giving as an evidence of it
that our treasury is bursting, are
fools. If we had real prosperity our
treasury would not be overfiowing, nor
would it be giving the millions in it to
banks to lend to the people in order to
avert panic. The money would be
in the pockets of the people and there
would be no panics nor rumors Of
panics.

Mr.. TAFT'S GUN FIRED.

Mr.. W. II. Taft, present Secretary
of War, is a candidate for the presi
dency, and has laid down bis platform
or in other words has fired his cam
paign gun. The discharge shows a
pronounced bitterness between the
Secretary and Senator Foraker which
will not down, and which must be
taken into consideration in the cam
paign and reckoned with until the
nomination il made. Mr.. Taft declares
for revision Of the tariff and for trust
control. He could not we'll do else, but
how much revision he will advocate,
and how he will control the trusts are
not certain. Had he set forth that the
tariff being the mother of trusts should
be reduced as means of decreasing
the number and power of the trusts he
would have put himself on ground not
heretofore occupied by any Republican
candidate, but ground which every
one now sees is tenabIe. Mr.. Taft
could not resist the temptation to con-
trast Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan
and in one of bis sentences alleged that
Roosevelt advocated laws which would
punish the rich and poor alike, whilst
Mr.. Bryan advocated laws which would
punish che rich but let the poor go
free. This is very demagogical and
not worthy of SO great man as Mr..
Taft. 1t lowered bis standard as a
statesman and fair and honest poll
tlcian. How any law could be passed
by Congress which would punish a
rich offender and not affect poor one
is left only for Mr.. Taft to discover,
and such rot is degrading in it's utter
ance. In the second place the state
ment is utterly untrue. Mr.. Bryan
does not desire such law, and if he
did none such could be framed. Mr..
Taft ought to improve on this charge |
or drop his charges against Mr.. Bryan |
altogether, unless he can prefer |
charges that are true. which he has
not yet done.

SHORT TREATMENT.

That is very small conduct On the
part of the government to he calling
on jamestown for the interest on her
petty load of one million right ia the
middle of the exposition. Philadel
phia, Chicago and st. Louis, all get
many more millions than jamestown
ever thought of asking. Chicago put
off her show year, having in hand the
government fund all the time, and no
call was made until after it began.
Buffalo got four millions, if we recUl
lect right. and the govern ment allowed
the statement that the assass liza ton
of Mr.. Mckinley there had ruined
their show to such an extent that they
ought to be dealt with lightly, and
the government did deal gently with
them. But in Virgiuia's Exposition
all has been different. Mr.. Cannon
tried to prevent any loan OF govern
ment funds in his eff jrt to kill 1t, when
he could not be helu the appropriation
back almost to the opening day. But
for Mr.. Roosevelt it never would have
been gotten. When We see millions
placed in National banks without in
terest, millions given to any exposl-
ton north, this treatment of the south
is calculated to cause expressions of
opinion not conducive to more
friendly feeling, but opinions which
are true, and which show how the
south gets it in the neck every time
the opportunity presents itself. VIII
