THE NEW NATIONAL CURRENCY.

Treasury department officials at
Washington have made the discovery
that. the Aldrich-V reeland currency
law passed by the last congress con
tains a provision by which it may be
possible to retire all of the national
currency as rapidly as it reaches the
treasury for redemption, and replace
it with the currency provided for by
the new law. This was clearly not the
intent of the original law, as it was de-
signed solely to provide for an emerg-
ency currency, to be issued in times of
financial stress and forced into retire
ment by an interest rate that is to be
increased each month after a certain
period. However, the treasury experts
believe that these issues may be used
to ~supplant regular government issues
of currency.
The new notes have been prepared
by the bureau of printing and engrav-
ing and are ready for distribution
when demanded by the banks. The
bills are very similar to the notes now
In circulation, with the exception that
on the face there is a change in the
line at the top which formerly read
secured by United States bonds" by
the addition of the words "or other Sc
curities." On the back of the notes APP
pear the figures "19O2-190S," indicat-
ing the years in which the statutes
were passed governing the Issues OF
the notes.
While there is yet some question as
20 the extent to which railroad bonds
and other securities may be used in
securing the new issues, the cheering
fact remains that there has been nc
National Currency association issued
as provided by the law, for the purpose
of taking out any of the emergency
currency. This is convincing proof Of
the stability Of the present money mar.
ket and the prosperous condition of the
country. Even in the middle of the
crop moving" season there is no de
mand for emergency" currency.

TIE MIDDLE In MORnCCO.

Unless the French press is un-
usually hysterical, there is danger
that the peace of Europe is threatened
over the complications arising out of
the conditions in Morocco. Ger
many's formal notice of recognition
of Mulai Hafid, the usurping sultan Of
Morocco, has been accepted by France
as an u~nwarranted interference and
calculated to set at naught the famous
Algeciras agreement, to which the
United States is a party, by which the
affairs Of Morocco were supposed to
have been settled, with France charged
with police power duties in that
country.
1t will be remembered that France
and Germany were very close to
another clash at arms three years ago, a
conflict which was averted only by the
election of NJ. Delcasse, the minister
of foreign affairs, from the French cabi-
net. At that time, The kaiser declared
for the independence of Morocco
and agreed with other signatory
powers that France and Spain should
be charged with the duty of preserv-
ing peace in that country. The agree
ment, in brief, provided for the inter
Matchmaking of Morocco without de-
Matchmaking it. In the meantime, the
Moroccans have overthrow Abdul
Aziz and have declared for Mulai Hafid
as their new sultan. The Germans
have recognized Hafid, without wait
ing for first action by Spain and
France and that has caused all the
trouble.
The saving clause of Germany's &C
ton is proof that Hafid has agreed
to abide by the Algeciras agreement
Any other situation would be notice
that Germany is planning to make
trouble in Europe, and France is fal
from convinced that this is not Ger
many's plan, anyway, regardless of thu
appearance OF technical right in tn,
recognition OF the usurping sultan.
II is known to all the world tina
Germany yielded the position taken be
fore and during the Algeciras confer
ence, largely because OF Presiden
Roosevelt's statement to Emperor VIII
liam that the position of Germany wa
hardly reasonable, considering tn,
rights and interests OF other European
powers in Moroccan affairs. 1t is N

Republican extravaganza" has been

issue, and he is regaling audiences at

If republican rule is continued and
promising on the side, that If he

limit and cut down the appropriations

gram of retrenchment offered as a
remedy against what the peerless
leader processes to believe is an evil.
Mr.. Bryan declares that he is bound
by his platform, adopted at Denver.
That document, while protesting
against the alleged republican ex-
travagance," proposes a plan of money

impossible to effect any retrenchment

believes the Algeciras agreement has
fallen through, and that he suspects
France Of having obtained an undue
advantage from it's exceptional posi-
ton in the management of Moroccan
affairs.
Under the circumstances the kaiser
is apparently determined to play a lone
hand for the purpose of regaining an
advantageous diplomatic position from
which he was forced by the Algecirss
agreement. Germany has more to gain
than to lose by another conference
and 1t may be the kaiser's plan to force
one. Germany has been playing a
politico-commercial game for many
years and the kaiser, without any in
tention of engaging In a war with
France, may be making trouble in
Morocco solely to keep an equal COM
mercial footing in that country. The
United States, while a signatory power
to the Algeciras conference. has no
direct interest in the present muddle,
except to maintain the position of an
interested onlooker and to see what
construction the other powers put on
Germany's motives.

HOT AIR For FARMERS.
Political 'HandOuts' for Monarchs of
the Soil.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
On the Nebraska State fair grounds. in
Lincoln, William Jennings Bryan took oc-
casion to advocate new national legislation
for the farmer. He also called for in
creased recognition of the farmer by the
great political parties.
This may be good politics on Mr.. Bryan's
part. 1t probably is. But what more does
the farmer want?
There is at present a department. of the
government, with multitudinous bureaus,
devoted to his special interests. The nation
is spending millions annually in expert
ments for his benefit.
Nearly every state in the union has pro-
vided colleges for the special training OF
the farmer sons and daughters. The
farmer can get expensive seed without cost
by simply asking for It. We have estab-
iished a rural free delivery postal system at
immense cost for his special benefit.
And this is only a part. The farmer is
practically the only producer in the coun-
try who is not to be curbed or regulated.
The whole world, through a natural in
crease in population and a natural increase
in human needs, contributes to his pros
perity.
Financial stringency does not reach the
farmer, industrial depression does not af-
feet him. While the value of many other
products has been lowered by poor times,
the value of his products has increased.
The banker. the merchant, the manu-
facturer, the mechanic and the laborer
have been troubled to make both ends
meet. The farmer has been troubled only
lest his deposits and investments should
not be adequately safeguarded.
While the railway magnate, the steel mag
nate and the real estate magnate have been
seeking anxiously for ready money up and
Town the street, the farmer has had money
to lend.
Heavens knows the farmer cannot be
too prosperous or too happy to suit the
rest of us, but, If he does not mind, the
rest of us would like to have a chance.
The national government should pass its
favors around.
If the farmer were having hard luck we
would all turn in and help him. But he is
not having hard luck.
He is having such good luck that 1t
makes the citizen who is not a farmer
dizzy to think of it.

Glad to get back to the city just to &c

Among the burdens of inglorlous peace is
the loss incidental to the deterioration of

like the old-fashioned kind. An interesting
proposal Of the navy board Of ordinance is
to rework powder stored at Indian Head,
which is from six to eight years old. Ii
cost $4,000, and It is thought that removal
ton will cost a quarter of that sum 1t is
hoped that the powder made by the later
process will last ten or twelve years. but
this is only a surmise. However, the cost
Of gunpowder does not matter greatly, so
