Detroit is once more upon cash
basis as far as the banks are concern
ed. Tuesday the last of the clearing
house certificates issued during the
recent financial crisis were retired.
Tuesday night e. C. Bowman, sec
rotary of the Clearing House assocla-
ton, admitted that this had been
done, but said he was merely secreta-
nv of the association and did not feel
at liberty to give the figures regard
ing the amount of certificates. 1t is
understood that the giving out OF
such figures is against the rules OF
the Detroit Clearing House, although
it is the custom in every other large
city in the country.
| The statements of the banks at the
close of business December 3, 1907
showed that there had been issued up
to that time $4,000 of these bank
promisis to pay and as conditions
were then approaching the normal 1t
is probable that the amount given is
approximately correct.
The fact that there has not been a
single default and that nearly $780,
900 that would otherwise been with
drawn from the banks was thus re-
leased for using during the trying
times of the crisis shows the sound
ness of the Detroit institutions ant
shows also that as an emergency cur
l rency these certificates were eminent
ly successful.

SPAIN WITH FRANCE
ON MOROCCO SITUATION

Paris, Sept. Tt Is announced at
the foreign office that in a note re-
celved from Madrid Spain states
that the Spanish government agrees
to the terms OF the Moroccan entende
as outlined in the French draft.
This means that the new Sultan,
Mulai Hahd. will not be recognized
until the agrees 10 the terms OF the
Algeciras treaty. allowing France and
Spain to police his domain.
The Joint note OF the two will be
presented to the powers that signed
the AlgIers treaty soon.
The only point OF difference be-
tween France and Spain was as to-
how far the powers would go In de-
manding financial pledges from Ha-
I'D. Spain was fearful lest France
would saddle too great a, burden on
the new Sultan. The French govern
ment assured Spain that only legitl-
mate debts OF the country to Abdul
Axiz would be demanded OF Hand.

pended Is properly accounted for, and
Gompers knows that as well as | do
and as well as everyone of our read
ers knows Il. And in casting this as
perslon Sam Gompers did so against
his better knowledge-in other words
he lied wilfully.
HE did Il in order to help Bryan
and the Democratic party.
There can be no doubt that Taft,
from a capitallstlc standpoint, is the
more desirable, and that Bryan, from
a workingman's standpoint, is the
more inslncere and hypocrltical OF the
two.
Now, why should a working man
vote the Democratic ticket? Should
he do so because the Tammany lead
ers and the Democrats heelers OF
large cities very sociably drink whis-
key with Gompers and his lieuten-
anita?
The average Democratic leader
would drink whiskey with the devil,
and so would Sam Gompers.
TO vote for the Democratic party,
even as a protest against the other
wing OF capitalism. Is nonsensical and
