OyerprOduction.

Bankers declare, on their part, that they have saved Germany from a still greater cataclysm by their apparent hardheartedness. They point out that the country Is suffering already from oyerproduction In almost every m- portant manufacturing line, and that the enforced low speed at which the industrial machine has been compelled to travel for the last few months will prove to be blessing in disguise, no matter how effective the disguise.
 Coincident with these tight money" conditions, which affect prince and pauper, millionaire and day laborer, there has come general increase in the cost of living. Food, clothing and rents have gone up. The workingman, accustomed heretofore to eat meat twice week as a great luxury. now has 1t set before him by a frugal house wife on Sundays only. The restaurants have raised their prices. Fares on the motor omnibuses-the motor cars of the masses, have gone up Everybody who works Is asking for more money to meet the "teuerung" (rise in cost of living) A general atmosphere of in- creasing responsiveness confronts the householder at every turn.

 G. WASHINGTON.
 No doubt Patty and Polly Taft, near Uxbridge, Mass.," were the two happiest girls in America with their gifts from the father of his country, and no doubt Patty wrote a note of acknowledgements, as desired. What ever became of those two pieces of chlntz, or how Patty disposed of her five guineas, is not of record The mention of George Washington Taft Is brief, but it is enough to identify him and establish his name Whether he was al nome Wnen NdSnlnBlOH SlOp- ped with the Tafts does not clearly appear. Perhaps he had gone fishing or after the COWS. He must still have been quite young, but the evidence as to his name is conclusive. What be- came of George Washington Taft, whose sisters Patty and Polly each re- ceiyed present from General Wash ngton of a chintz dress pattern, and Patty five guineas besides, and who was himself recognized as name sake by the great George--yes, by George. history does not tell us. It is evident that the newspapers of the period did not do their duty in pre- serving the record of George Washing ton Taft. Was he tall or short, fat or

pass judgment on Herr Sydow's scheme of providing the empire with the baga- telle of Sl25, ,000 900 of fresh revenue.
 The new secretaryeof the treasury Is keeping his own counsel, but 1t has developed that his budget will provide for a variety of fresh taxation bur- dens including increased levies on sugar and tobacco, cigars and cigar cites, railway tickets and inhertances, while wholly new taxes are said to be under way on gas and electricity sup- plies, IL Is even hinted that a window tax, such as Frenchmen pay, may be resorted to.
 Such is the burden of empire and Dreadnoughts. Then Herr Sydow Is 1 flirting with proposals for nationaliz- r ing the alcohol monopoly, from which he figures the state can derive an annual income of s15,O0o000, but the country meantime will have to find the money to buy this fat concession from It's present avaricious owners. The eyes of the country are, therefore, centered ! for the moment on two men--Herr Reinbold Sydow, imperial finance min | ister, and Baron von Rheinbaben, Prussian finance minister who, be- tween them, are charged with the duty of putting the empire financially on its l fAat

This decree from the ministers of mammon has fallen like blight upon the industrial world Factories have been shut down. Others have adopted halliday working schedules. Work men have been discharged by the thousands Merchants are unable to meet their bills. stringency is every where. The imperial bank has at tempted to ease the situation by re- ducing the discount rate to 1-2 per cent, but the moral effect of this stroke has been slight. There Is plen- ty of money in sight and on hand so much, in fact, that the deposit banks offer no attractions in the way of interest to people with money but until the international horizon Is clearer the powers who hold the strings of the nations money bags are determined to hold them relent- lessly tight.

Hotels Feel the Pinch.

The situation in America has been particularly rough on dhe German ho- tel keeping fraternity in the show cities like Berlin, Dresden and Munich and the great watering places like Nau- helm, Wildungen, Marenbad and Carlsbad. Thousands of Americans are in the country, but almost every one of them Is staying for shorter time than usual, spending less money and gener- ally reducing the revenue of the boni- faces, who have waxed fat these many years on the generous paying sons and daughters of Uncle Sam.

Germany has been hit in two dlf- ferent ways by the business slump across the water, First, her stock OK changes and money markets have been unsettled eycloncally; and, secondly, her rich export trade to America has been checked severely and In some lines utterly annihlated. Countless failures have resulted from this dou- ble cause. On the one hand merchants and manufacturers accustomed to reg ular Hines of credit" at their banks have found this source of supply sud- denly and arbitrarily cut off, On the other, factories and foundries, whole salers and jobbers who arc dependent mainly on their American trade, have been overwhelmed not with generous orders, as in the past, but with per- emptory cancellations of orders and complete cessation of fresh business.
