OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

In his maiden speech in the senate,
Senator Taylor of Tennessee drew the
following striking picture of the finan-
cial system of the United States.
Our financial system is the Siamese
twin of the tariff system, and while the
financial system is the weak brother of
the pair, yet they are bound together by
the cartilage of federal protection. This
is an axiom of millions of ordinary
mortals and 5000 banks. The party in
power sees only the six thousand. This
Is Il nation of many millions of consumers
and a few thousand corporations. This
is n nation of many millions who work
for their daily bread and Il few hun
drcd m~illionaircs. but the party in
power only sees the millionaircs. The
corporations and millionaires furnish
the sincws of war for the campaign
and the party i'll power furnishes the
laws to pile up the fortunes of those
who furnish the 'sincws.' In the midst
of this great panic l saw the distinguish
cd senator from Rhode Island. Mr..
Aldrich, chairman of the committee on
nance of the senate, stand upon the
troubled waters with I'm
bill in his hand, and with a loud voice
he cried to the bowling storm: Peace
Inc still But there was no peace. And
the tcmpcst-tOsscd crew In the golden
boat walled their eyes toward Almighty
Rockefeller and prayed; and they
bcckoncd to- Morgan, the king of r
poration power. to throw them a life
line. But the two omnipotcnt %fnanciers
could not leave the game on Wall
Street to 20 into the life saving service.
Have not the policies of the party In
power dragged the country to awful
depths when the president finds IL
necessary to warn both houses that
the republic is in danger of being
oycrthrown by the Vaccinations of
concentrated wealth. which Is the lcgiti.

INDUSTRIAL ECONOMIES

a conference of governors, with
speeches by eminent men, is q spectac-
ular performance especially dear to u
man like THEODORE Roosevelt. But in
dustrial forces are not controlled by
speeches and white house conclaves.
The House of Governors" has adjourn
ed very confident that our national
resources ought to he conserved and
very much ut sea about the means of
effecting it.
Some 20 years ago il was discovered
that the coal dust, or fine coal hut little
larger than dust, which was "a mere
waste accommodating in piles of almost
mountain size around the mines, was
capable of being burned under boilers.
This fine coal is now n regular article
of merchandise, and it has added greatly
to the earnings of tho anthracite COM
panieS. Here is one item of waste that
has been stopped.
No fact is more striking in recent
scientific development than the extent
to which waste substances have been
utilized. 1t is III old slaughter house
joke that everything about the pig was
used except his squcal. But the utiliza-
ton of cotton seed is recent. 1t is not
many years since a little seed was fed
to cattle, II little Of it was used as
fertilizer and much the greater part of
it was simple waste. Then it was found
that an oil could lie expressed from it.
When this was first pushed rs an article
Of food there WAS Il tremendous cutlery
about the adulteration of Swine's grease
with this vegetable oil. Laws were de-
mandcd 10 protect the community from
cottonseed oil. People have got over
thicr scare ut IL new food product, and
cOttonsecd oil is now brazenly adver-
tised as the superior of lard. After the
oil is expressed the meal is II particularly
valuable food for cattle. a waste pro-
duct has become an important article of
commerce.
The scientists and the manufacturers
searching for the dcspised dollars are Il
little slow about eliminating waste, but
they are pretty sure. There is not
much hope of reducing waste unless it
he profitable to do so. Gas engines and
the making of. producer gas from waste
fuel ut the mines suggest one line of
coming economy. This sort of progress
makes less display than Il House of
Governors assembled in the house of
the president, but it is accomplishing
something all the timc.-Philadelphiu

FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT.
Prof. Garner Authority for Assertion
That Wild Animals Converse.

The chatter Of monkeys is a real
chatter and conversation, some folks
say. Prof. r. l.. Garner, who has spent
the greater part of several years In
the forests of Africa studying the Ian
gnages of monkeys and other animals.
says silence Is not an absolute Gle.
ment In the safety of wild animal life.
Wild animals are more taclturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes OF human beings. This he at.
tributes to lack Of social intimacics
and nomadic habits. The carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cause to fear
through the sound of their voices, de-.
pend almost entirely upon the sense
OF smell In pursuing their game, every
species having It's peculiar odor. Also
the carnlvora generally hunt at night.
selling their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rca.
sons TO fear betrayal by their voices
arc by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residence
I'm the Jungle no found that the chin.
panzee frequently breaks the silence
OF the forest by answering tho cries
Of the various other animals. The
gorllla Is less loquacious, but there
arc times whom ho ignores all danger
OF betrayal and gives vent to a deluge
OF speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers. and can be heard Mt
almost any hour. The trumpcting OF
the elephant is commo Mt night. and
The believing Of the hlppopotamus
