EFFECT OF new
CURRENCY BILL
BENEFICIAL RESULTS ALREADY
APPARENT IN ATTITUDE OF
EUROPEAN BANKS.

Chicago, June 13.-The effect Of the
new Vreeland currency bill already
has been felt in the changed attitude
of European banks toward the United
States, according to Chicago bankers,
who say, however, that in their opin-
ion no emergency circulation will be
required this fall to help move the
crops. ''The new law has given Amer
lean banks a standing in foreign coun-
tries that they have no had hereto
fore" said w. T. Fenton, vice presi-
dent of the National Bank of the Re
public, an institution which has made
the unique record Of paying out cash
as required by its depositors through
out the period Of clearing house certi-
ficates last fall 1.-THE law will be
very beneficial in a broad senses in
enabling banks in this country to f.
nance their affairs abroad. There is
always a large foreign business with
the United States, and heretofore the
rigid currency law prevented any
elasticity, and when bur banks had
once loaned their money they had to
stop further business, whereas, in
other countries bankers use their
credit Banking on assets has always
been a recognized feature of the f.
namcial systems abroad, and the new
law for the first time places the Unit
ed States on a similar financial sys-
tenn to England, France, Germany and
other countries Chicago banks have
not as yet followed the lead Of New
York in forming a currency associa-
ton, but this will be done at an early
date. N

Sees Party'S Doom.

Drunk with power, the Republican
party has become inert and inefficient,
corrupt and servile. 1t has achieved
its manifest destiny. 1t has neither re-
formed nor economical. 1t failed to
look at the sign boards and ran the car
of prosperity into commercial turn
table,"
In those words Representative Hull
of Tennessee last Wednesday expressed
his opinion of the Republican party in
the house.
Having thus prescribed he said,
''our Republican friends should cheer
fully take the dose of their own medi-
cine, however bitter, that inevitably
awaits them at the polls ia November"
Mr.. Hull arraigned the Republicans

activity of its followers. Probably it
is due to the wave of class agitation
that has been stirring the country in the
past year or so. This agitation has
been of most spectacular kind. The
public mind has been filled with the
ideas of general rottenness and injus-
tice. Hatred of man for man has been
fed by speeches and writings. Attacks
on judges, scorn of law, prejndices
against laws that restrict the will of
men who wish their within to control,
the tendency in some quarters TO assert
the right of any individual to regulate
his fellows, the general clamor, turmoil,
and recrimination that have
been keeping the people keyed up
these may have provoked the state of
mind which has been fertile for anar-
chistic theories.
The task at hand is to suppress the
anarchist and overlook no legal and
just means to exterminate their creed.
Maybe when the prevailing unwhOle-
some thinking and preaching pass away
and the people generally are allowed to
calm down, anarcnism will not thrive so

created railroad commission, his APP
pointment being confirmed unani-
mously by the senate, he was chosen
chairman of the railroad commission
at its organization, and in that capac-
ity performed his most important and
valuable services for the public.
Mr.. Barnes resigned from the COM
mission in 1906. Since then he has been
and is engaged in general law practice,
principally before the railroad commits
sion of Wisconsin and the interstate
commerce commission, appearing uni
formly in behalf of the shipper.
Railroad regulation by commission
is a comparatively new subject, and
but little understood by the profession,
and one that is bound to grow in inn
portance with time. Mr.. Barnes close
study of these important questions will
make him very decided acquisition to
the Supreme court of this state. Mr..
Barnes, is As years of age, in the prime
of life, and Is years younger than his
youngest opponent. He has strong,
vigorous constitution and is energetic
and industrious. These are matters of
worthy consideration in the choice of
Judge.
The fitness of Mr.. Barnes for the
office to which he aspires has been ex-
pressed in the endorsement given him
by the members of the bar generally
throughout the state.

DESTROYS of giving her bit of instruc-

at is the same story, the same cry
the world over. People are longing to
mount high along many lines, but for
the most part they are sitting still and
waiting for someone to start them.
They want to reach success in litera-
ture, in business or professional life,
but they want to swing high from the
tirst-to be pushed by someone's money,
strength or name. Those who are
really willing to begin with their feet
on the ground and start themselves are
comparatively few.
One who has been brought much in
contact with young people, young
women especially, and has been en-
deavoring to help them, recently said
that her greatest discouragement lay in
the fact that they all want to begin on
the top. They wanted at once the rep
utation, the pay and the patro mage, of
those who had been long years in the
work. They wanted to be pushed-a
good strong push that would set them
flying st once-instead of putting their
own feet 70 the ground and slowly

straint. Use them harshly and they be-
come more dangerous because they feel
more violently. Measures of suppress
sion may have the effect of tanning
rather than extinguishing the flames.
But any other than the strictest meas
ures might be regarded by the anarchis-
tic crew as signs of weakness. Nothing
would encourage them so much as any
possibility of this kind. In weakness of
government they would thrive. Before
they are allowed to do much more of
their deadly work they should feel the
strong arm of government and learn
that the law which they despise is not
the sort of institution which tolerates
their diabolical beliefs and deeds The
right OF free speech is glorious one,
and it should be preserved, but the right
of free speech does not embrace the
right of instigating murder and treason.
Murder and treason are the inevitable
weapons of anarchism. To preach its
creed is to champion them. Therefore,
anarchistic agitators and agitation
should not be tolerated by the police
power of the country. Self preserva-

national and state governments against |

That does not concern Carnegie, Rookie
Teller, Hartman, or the chiefs of the
republican party. All they.w want is his
vote and pious resignation to the dis
pensations CT an all-wise providence
that gives much to the few and little TO

one thing they fear is that the patient,

devil in this arrangement and east him

In the second place, the tariff is
scheme by which the few favored ones
may levy unlimited tribute upon the
many who are not in the deal. With 9
high tariff wall, in many cases an insur-
mountable wall around the country, the
protected manufacturers may charge
what they please, and the helpless but
needy consumer must. buy at their
prices, often arbitrarily fixed in secret
conclave without regard to cost of pro-
duction. A good many dollars go into
the Golfers of the selfish and greedy
manufacturers to one that goes into the
treasury of Uncle Sam 1t is the most
gigantic system of organized robbery
that the world has ever seen. The rob-
Der barons of the middle ages were en-
gagged in petty larceny compared with
the tribute levied by the tariff barons
of the United States.
Not content with such unjust treat
ment of the people who have voted
them this opportunity, they add insult
to injury by selling their wares abroad
at prices much below those charged at
home. American made sewing ma
chimes, harvesting machinery, steel
rails, locomotives and many other
articles may be purchased in Europe,
South America, India or Australia at
prices far below, often nehalf, those
charged at home. This great wrong is
aggravated by the fact that this policy
is building up at our expense our COM

our own productions must inevitably
fall in price in our limited market. 1t /

historical book ever written in America.
When Blaine came to write book
mind you, when he sat down calmly, in
the quiet of his library with all the
facilities and the leisure for investiga.
ton to write book on which he pro-
posed to rest his fame with posterity he
wrote the above about the Walker tariff.
Senator Allison, of Iowa, urging
tariff reform in 1870, commended
the Walker tariff He said: cit
is claimed that the high rates
of our present tariff are necessary
because the revenue to be obtained
therefrom is essential to the govern,
ment, and that if we reduce the rates
at all the effect will be the depression
of all the interests of the country.
The tariff of 1916, although confessedly
and professedly tariff for revenue,
was, so far as regards all the great in
terests of the country, as perfect tariff
as any that we have ever had.
The New England members of both
houses, as rule, had voted for the
high tariff of 1912, opposed the revenue
tariff of 1916, but realizing its beneficial
effects, and desiring to lessen the &C.
emulation of the peoples money in
the treasury, all three of the political
parties voted for the much lower tariff,
the act of 1857, entitled: AN act re-
ducing the duty on imports and for
other purposes, about which Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts, said:
"In closing, Mr.. Chairman, the re-
marks l have felt il my duty to submit
to the Senate and the country that the
commonwealth | represent on this floor
i say in part for my colleague, Mr..
Sumner, after an enforced absence of
more than nine months, is here tonight

for the interest of his state-has a deep
interest in the modification of the tariff
of 1916 by this Congress. Her merchants,
manufacturers, mechanics and business
men, in all departments of varied in
dustry, want action now before the
Thirty-fourth Congress passes away.
They are for the reduction of the reve-
nue. to the actual wants of an economi-
cal administration of the government:
for the depletion of the treasury, now
full with millions of boarded gold; for
free list, embracing articles of prime
necessity we do not produce; for mere
nominal duties on articles which make
up q large portion of our domes-
tic industry, and for such an adjustment
of the duties on the productions of
other nations that come in direct CON-

capital, labor ari skill and shall impose

Some Tariffs.

Cleveland would have made great
president but for his belief in a low
tariff, and his advocacy of it plunged
the country into panic that lasted for
years.-W Record Herald"
Our esteemed contemporary, the r H.,
is lamentably deficient in its knowledge
of high and low tariffs and their relative
effects upon the growth and develop
ment of the country. The PILOT is
gladdened at the advent of brains and
ability to the body polite. We welcome
intelligence, nerve and activity to Wau-
sau's household, but it is humiliating,
If not exasperating, to US at times to
listen 10 the rehash of a set of stereo-
typed tariff chestnuts which have, for
more than quarter of century, been
perenially served up to the readers of a
certain class of newspapers.
Cleveland would have made a great
president but for his belief in low
tariff" says the R.-H. Now, the fact is
the tariff of 1916 was the only genuinely,
democratic tariff bill ever passed by the
American Congress. 1t is called the
Walker Tariff" and it was so thorough
ly democratic that it was only gotten
through the Senate by the casting vote
of the president, George M Dallas
Now, James Gillespie Blaine assuredly
had some standing in the republican
party. He was its well beloved leader
its chosen chieftain-one of the most
brilliant men that ever figured in
American politics. Now, here's what
Blaine said about that low tariff:
Moreover the tariff of 1916 was yield
irg abundant revenue, and the bust
ness of the country was in a hourishing
condition at the time his administration
was organized. Money became very
abundant after the year lS49; large en-
terprises were undertaken; speculation
was prevalent, and for considerable
period the prosperity of the country
was general and apparently genuine
After 1852 the Democrats had almost
undisputed control of the government,
and had gradually become free-trade
party. The principles embodied in the
tariff of 1916 seemed for the time to be so
entirelyvindicated and approved that re.
sistance to it ceased, not only among
the people but among the protection
economists, and even among the manu-
facturers to large extent So general
was the acquiescence that in 1856 pro-
tective tariff was not even suggested or
even limited by any one of the three
parties which presented presidential
candidates"
Mind you this is not quotation from
some off hand stump speech delivered
by Mr.. Blaine, it is from the first volume
of his great book which is conceded to
