DEEPEST and SLIcKEsT.

The presidents latest special message
denounces nothing, not even predatory
wealth. The time to make friends in
stead of enemies has comein the hot
course of the preliminary presidential
campaign, and president Roosevelt,
deepest and slicket of all politicians,
did his part with greats skill in the
message sent to congress last week.
''If anybody who votes oricontributes
to a campaign fund.-" says the New
York World, twas overlooked in the
preparation of this special message, it
was not because Theodore Roosevelt
does not aim to please
The Big Stick has Ebecome a back
number, and predatory wealtha.is to
have an immunity bath after one short
year, and the latter is expected in return
10 roll up a slush fund of Hannaesque
dimensions. It will gladly do it.
Barring the Immunity bath and the
licensing and recognitionland protec-
ton of trusts in reasonable restraint
of trade, there is not q line in the spe-
cial message that vas not borrowed
from the progressive Democrats. II
am not going to allow any Republican
president to crowd me off my WI plat
forln,' said Mr.. Bryan at Pittsburg, on
Friday last. Il will not," he went on
to say, abandon or give up my poll
cjes simply because a Republican pres
ident, seeing they are right, endorses
them. But, in reality, I am grateful to
the president for making so many OF
my ideas respectable
But, when the president came to con
slider the publicity OF campaign funds
he struck a snag. What would please
the plain people would not please the
campaign managers, and the only way
over the snag was the silent way. Not
a word was said about publicity of cam
paign funds in a message apparently
Il resume of all known reforms. The
silence Of the special message on thai
subject rs more eloquent than mere
words could be.

UP TO CANNON

The senate has passed. the Aldrich
bill and it now goes to the house where
Joe Cannon and the administration will
endeavor to turn itintolaw. No doubt
they will be able to pass q bill that gives
the section,that is loaded upswith State.
county and city bonds q chance to,
secure $500, 600 600 in currency in an
emergency.
But, through the persistent efforts Of
Senator Johnston, thebill wasamended
before passage in a respect that will de-.
prive the gamblers in the stock and cot
ton pits Of agreat deal of outside money.
Under the bill as it went through the
senate, fous.6tths OF b legal reserve.
of interior banks must be kept at home,
leaving but 8 per cent. Of b deposits
free to be sem to New York. The coun-
try is indebted to enalor Johnston for
his important change In the bill, and
therefore he was wholly justified in
| voting for the bill in order to secure
this change in the bill.
Like all else done by the Republicans
at present, this bill has been drawn to
please New York and the section in
which that city is located. 1t is q mere
tink scheme, and the banking sys-
tenn of the country remains in the con-
dition that invited last years panic,
and that will pave the way for a destruc-
ton of confidence in the future il it is
not taken in hand and placed on . sci
entifc basis-on q basis similar TO tina

utmost against them. Senator Aldricl
admits that the bill which bears hi
name does not go to the roc of the mat
ter.

MOST REMORSELESS TRUST.

If the members of congress have any
desire to render a genuine service to
the people of the ountry they should
insist upon bringing before the house
the bill to put paper and pulp on the
free list.
OF all the trusts and combinations in
restraint OF trade there is none more
powerful, more arbitrary, or more re-
morseless than the paper trust. Fat
tening under the sheltering influence OF
the Dingley tariff bill, is members have
been able to build up a compact organ
ization which places the newspaper and
periodical publications and the paper
OF the country absolutely at
their mercy.
Without the slightest justification on
the basis of competitive cost. they have
increased the price of white paper time
and time again, until their extortionate
demands have become welinigh pro-
hibttory. The most drastic methods of
the trust are in full operation-pools,
penalties, and aIl-and while they are
thriving under a high prohibitive

windward by buying up all the spruce
forests they can acquire.
president Roosevelt has specifically
committed himself to the placing OF
paper and paper pulp OF the free list,
and a majority OF the house is in favor
of the measure. But the subtle intiu-
ence OF the trust is at work with all its
tireless zeal. The census bureau, &C.
cording to the direct charge of Herman
Rldder, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, has
given to interests friendly to the trusts
figures which are greatly misleading
and now in the face of the presidents
solemn promise to further the immedi-
ate placing of paper and paper pulp on
the free list-in face of the fact that
would no doubt pass such q
bill-the chairman of the committee on
ways and means peremptorily declines
to grant a hearing to the publishers who
desire to place their arguments before
the committee.
Politics is given with cynical can-
dor as the excuse for this refusa The
committee, he tells the publishers, has
made up its mind not to have any hear
iugs until after the election, and it will
adhere to tina determination.
The paper trust is ~entrenching itself
more strongly every day, and the stu
alton is becoming more acute among
the of white paper. but the
committee on ways and means is dea.
10 all entreaties.
The political situation must not bt
disturbed!
The minority leader of the house ha'
threatened that his followers would fiji
1buster for the balance of the session
unless the recalcitrant committee OIL
ways and means recedes from its OF
stinate position. It is hoped that tn
light of reason and justice will breal
in upon the committee before such OK
treme measures become necessary, an
to that end it is hoped h North Care

But, if the committee continues OF

be abundantly justified in pursuing tt
course indicated by Mr.. Williams. TT
need for relief is urgent and the cry
politics is but a poor reply.

WALL STREET NOTES Plenty of Sharp Changes Both Ways in the Opening
 Prices. LAWSON AND SCHWAB FELT
 --------------~ Steel Common Holds Moderately Firm in Spite of Double Bear
 Factors.

There were plenty of sharp changes fin the opening prices here, but they were not all one way. New York Central started out 5-S point above Mondays closing, American Car and Foundry was up 7-S, Tnterborough- Metropolitan preferred @-4 Missouri Pacific 5-S But the first transaction in Union Pacific was 1-2 point lower, Smelling started 7-S down. Consoli- dated Gas 3-i, Hide and Leather pre- ferred and Colorado and Southern 1-2, Reading and Pennaylvans 3-S each. The days two wide openings" were in United States Steel, where 2,000 shares went at once for 54 and B 7-S, as against 5i l-4 at the close Monday, and Great Northern preferred, of which 500 sold between 184 Is and 1i3 3-4, as against l441-S. Inhuenc- ing factors aside from Lawson's ad- vertiscd attack on Steel, included a rise in call money, with per cent, quoted before noon; a further decline of IS cent pound in copper metal the hearing at Washington on the steel tariff with MT Schwabs peculiar testimony, and Washington advices al lcgjng that the senate is determined to look into the proposed advances in freight rates and exert its owner to obstruct them, if found to be unrea- sonable. This accumulation of unfav- orable factors brought in a mass of selling orders, more of them reaching Wall street in the afternoon than during the morning.
 The heavy selling yesterday was from the plunging element. Houses with Boston connections put out a great many stocks one man identl- fled with the Shelters crowd was said tG have sold 5O,0OO shares Monday on Information that the stock exchange was to be investigated.

Speculative Position Made Vulnerable
 by Money situation.

New York. Dee. 15-The money mar
 Set showed the further effects today of the diminishing supply and the in- croasing demands, The sub-trcasury' s absorption from the banks of little over a million dollars, although modcr- ate by comparison with the day before brought the cash loss on that account for the banking week up to sl6 GOO, which is but little less than the figure of the surplus reserve as shown in the bank statement on Saturday. Pay ments continue on account of subscrp- tiOns to the Panama, ,canal bonds Pre- parations were in progress today for applications for the Brazilian coffee loan. of which $1O.00o, ,O0O apportion- morrow. These demands for banking facilities outside the stock market with
 the surplus down to the vanishing point have tho effect of disIodging some loans employed in speculative holdints of stocks and in causing a shifting in other instances The spe"- ulatiyn position was made vulnerable by this situation and there was a par tv in the speculation ready to take ad- vantage of H.

Steel common held reasonably firm, In the face both of the frantic Lawson screed and the Schwab testimony The Stock Exchange was not quite clear how to interpret the latter epi- sode. The admission, by the ex-presi- dent of the Steel Corporation. that rails can be made to-day at $21.50 per ton and could be made at $12 some time since, and that on both dates BPS was charged to the consumer, might be taken either to illustrate the great profit-earning power of the company, or to foreshadow drastic revision of the steel tariff His suggestion that interest charges ought to be included in estimating cost of production will possibly impress people who remem- her the famous undertaking of 1902, to convert S20O, ,00O,0 ,00O preferred stock into bonds, and his assertion that the physical value of the proper. ties, In 1901, was equal to the Steel Trusts capitalization, will cause some lifting of eyebrows, On the other hand, Mr. Schwab was strong on the increase In cost of manufacture dur ing the past few years.
