Mr.. Aldrich, in his speech on tho
Aldrich Currency bill in the Senate OF
the United States only last winter.
said:
"Mr. President, the financial crisis
from which the country has Just
emerged, which eliminated In a serious
panic in October. was the most acute
and destructive In Ito Immediate con-
sequences Of any that has occurred In
the history Of the country. Nothing

On February II, 1893. Mr.. Shaw. in
O speech he made In Michigan, said:
"Over 100000 freight cars are stand

From the public press is taken the
following new item coming from
Pittsburg, Pa. Feb. s. 1908:

grows more distressed in Pittsburg.
There are $1,000 men Idle. and the
spectre Of the dreaded soup houses
again makes Its appearance. The arst
soup house will be opened by the Sal.
vatioR Army Monday morning. and
unless there Is a radical and prompt
change for the better, more places OF
this kind will be In demand before
many days have elapsed. The situa.
ton is not really alarming, but 1t is
bad enough. Soup houses have been
the dread Of the business men and
civic leaders, and every effort has been
made to avoid them"
Here Is the following news item
from Chicago. dated Feb. II. 1908:
Chicago, Feb. II, 1908. Never in

Aid Society has there been such a
demand for assistance as at the pres
emit time. is the claim Of Superinten-
dent Kingsly, who Is in charge of the
distribution Of funds by the business
mems relief committee. which has just
raised between 925, 900 and $40, 900 for
needy families. Never In the history
OF the society have we had % many
appeals based entirely on the lack Of
employment"
Not long ago Mr.. Dalzell, who writes
the tariN tax. recently as dictated by
the men who put up the money to pay
the expenses of republican campaigns,
told us:

out Of books. We read them by the
blazing light Of open furance doors.

"Tt was under republican rule that
