Aldrich's Mission.

On his visit West, Senator Aldrich
will talk ON the subject of the future
system of money circulation. He will
not speak of the tariff or other politi-
cal themes, but confine himself solely
to the question of finance. While he
says he goes West in search of infor-
nation, he will NJ doubt make use of
his trip to prepare the public mind for
HIS currency plan, which is reported to
be the establishment of a central bank
at Washington as the main feature.
He seems to nave won over Presi-
dent Taft, if he was not already there,
to this scheme of currency; but he
will have great difficulty in winning
over the country. The people are in
clined to fear a great central banking
institution, and the close relation of
politics, Wall street. the trusts. and
the great money interests to it. They
are afraid of it, and it is not likely
that Senator Aldrich, with all his
sophistry, will quiet their fears.-Ohio

Free-Trnde Results i'm Britain.

The British government paid out for
old age pensions up to Oct. l this year
an amount that indicates a total of
$40, 000, 900 for the year. These pay
ments are made under a new law
which is not yet fully In force. To be
qualified for a pension a person must
be 20 a old, and not have an in
come to exceed s153.29 annually, and
must be a British subject and have
been a resident of that country for
twenty years. There are various
grounds of disqualifications. the prin-
cipal of which is the receipt Of poor
funds since Jan. 1, 1908. Thus a poor
mortal who was compelled to accept
ever the smallest sum from the poor
funds gets nothing, though otherwise
qualified. Such injustice would never
be permitted in the United States,
The pension paid varies from "a cents
to S1.21 per week. When fairly award
ed and in full effect the annual pay
ment will probably double. Such a
large payment to persons who Geed
support in order to live is what might
be expected of a free-trade nation.

HOW TO GET LOWER PRICES.
Decrease Home Production by Inn
porting More Foreign Goods.


If the American people desire lower
prices on commodities which are man
ufactured in this country they can Sc
cure the same by making the import
duty low enough to encourage imp0rta.
lions of products which shall compete
with the American products. In no
other way can the tariff be made to op.
crate to reduce prices in this country.
The late Congress reduced a great
many duties. The duty on steel rails
was reduced $3.50 per ton. Yet steel
rails remain at the same old price. The
duty was taken off wood pulp, out Of
which paper is made, yet the price OF
paper remained the same. To make
cheaper paper, the duty must be re-
moved from all chemicals and every
ingredient entering into paper making,
thus compelling importation.
1t is proper enough that people shall
consider this matter, although Con
gress undertook to settle it and hoped
to settle it. If the people want a gen.
eral reduction in prices on everything
then there must be a reduction of all
duties to a point so low as to compel
importations. In this way alone can
the present American conditions be
disturbed.
There is much complaint among con-
sumerS relative to the price OF beef,
pork, mutton, butter, eggs. ETC. The
way to secure a reduction in the price
of these articles is to remove the duty
If farm products and farm animals
were all on the free list between the
United States and Canada and the Uni
ted States and Mexico there would
be a general reduction in the prices
of food products in this country. Is
this desirable? Would it be to the ad'
vantage of Western producers to nave
these things done?
There is another way to reduce
prices of farm products and that Is To
reduce the duty on so many articles OF
manufacture to encourage importa'
tions to such an extent that Americans
will be thrown put of employment
Thus they would not have the means
with which to buy, and as a conse'
quence farm products would go dow1
in price. When wage workers cease
to be strong purchasers Of food prod
ucts for lack of ability to buy, food
products go down in price.
These matters must all be consider
ed when the debate is on, as it now
seems to be.-Des Moines Capital.

A MAN WHO MOVED ON"


A youth who, as early in life as he
Is a free man, decides to work for
himself" often lays the foundation of
a fortune sooner than his comrade
who is willing to occupy a more de-
pendent position. One man, now a
very rich cattleman of Texas. possess
ing lands which are more than sufh-
cient in extent to make a German prin-
cipality. owed his Independent start
In life to an uncomplimentary remark
which his mistress made about him.
The man, who was a poor farmers
boy in Rhode Island before the Civil
War, went to the Southwest to seek
his fortune while he was still a callow
youth. But although he was callow
he was extremely long-legged, and
this circumstance won him immedi-
ately the name of Shanghai" by
which he was almost exclusively
known to his friends In that part of
the world.
He himself now tells how, on his
arrival In Texas, he went to work
for a farmer who had several slaves.
There was no n on the place except
Shanghai and a negro named Pete
who could ride a certain horse, and
1t often fell to Shanghai's lot to
Mount this fractions beast. But one
day it happened that when Pete was
on the horse. 1t threw him and then
fell on him.
This happened near the planters
house. The planter and his wife and
several attendants ran out to the as
sistance Of the negro, who appeared to
be dead. AS soon as she saw the slave
lying senseless, the woman cried out.

Sunken Roman GaIIeys.

Beneath the waters of Lake Nemi,

legs. They belonged to the Emperors
Tiberius and Caligula, and it is said
they contain art treasures that have
been covered for many centuries. Sys-
tematic efforts were made to recover
the contents Of the old hulks by Sig
nor Borghi in 1895. Divers were en-
gagged. and the two galleys located,
measured and carefully examined. and
from both bronzes, pieces of wood. an
chors and ornaments of all kinds were
collected. The larger vessel measures
about $50 feet in length and so feet
in beam, and the smaller 200 feet in

POIiCl| Comment


While at Savannah. Ca, President
Taft said a few things on the wisdom
and necessity of following the law as
it is" that deserve to be reprinted in
every newspaper of this country.
They may SAVIOR of unjust criticism
TO the fanatics whose zeal would not
stop at the ethical lynching of the
law itself" But they will appeal to
the common sense and patriotism of
all other citizens. The President be-
gan:
l know that sometimes in the zest of
enthusiasm of reform there is an i'm
patience with legal limitations and
statutes that seem to be directed
against that reform, or to prevent its
immediate accomplishment, such as TO
lead us 10 disregard it or to ignore it.
Who has not witnessed this wild, de-
structive zeal of the man whose one
idea is to accomplish at any cost some
change that may or may not be = re-
form after all? This spirit is essen
TALLY the lynch spirit.
The lynch spirit sets aside the law
to accomplish an immediate object.
The zealot would ignore the law, or
plainly misconstrue it. in order to do
instantly something that he thinks
ought to be done though the heavens
fall.
In both cases the example of de-
ctrnyino th0 lon. ;tcolf &c cata de-
struction which seldom will be con-
fined to the occasions Immediately at
hand. but tends inevitably to spread
in all directions, growing by what II
feeds on. President Taft went on:
1 do not think. and l am sure you
will agree with me, that is the best
way of getting rid of a legal limitation
that interferes with progress. The best
way is to have the people understand
that limitation ought to he removed
and that the statutes of our govern
ment ought to conform so far as may
be to our highest deals and ambitions.
but that the first thing that we have
got to do after arousing the people to
the necessity of change is to change
the law and not rely upon the Execu-
tive himself TO ignore the statutes and
follow a law unto himself because it is
supposed to be the law of higher mo-
rality.
Absolutely true, of course. But what
political fanatic, who thinks that be-
cause one question fills his own mar
row mind it likewise fills the universe,
is willing to wait for any slow process
like convincing the people, as long as
he thinks that he may make enough
noise to have some official. some court
or some Legislature do what he wants,
regardless of everything else?
Besides, what is the use? Does not
a political fanatic Immediately become
the people" the moment his mind gets
filled with his great idea? Are they
not clamoring, with a roar like the
seven seas, whenever he begins to emit
sound and fury and ethics?
Why waste time when n has this
strong inner conviction that he repre-
sents not only the people. but Provi-
dence, the Moral Law and National Ne
cessity? Finally said Mr.. Taft:
Therefore let us first make the laws
to accord TO our desires and our ambi-
tons and then follow them.
"Amen," should say all good citi-
ems. No law takes more than a ma
jority to change it. And no law can
be changed by less than a majority
neither by official ignoring nor by mis-
construction-if republican govern
ment is to endure.-Chicago Inter

The ..Gold Bricks i'm Free Hides.

N |oO u III WV
The Springfield Republican apollo
gizes for the New England shoemakers
and protests that they did not hand
the country a gold brick" when they
carried through their agitation for
free hides. 1t says that the higher
prices are due to a worldwide scarcity
in hides.
That is just exactly what We have
been saying here in Iowa. But in New
England they said that the high-priced
hides and leather were due to the tar
if on hides. The tariff was the whole
evil. Take off the tariff and let in
foreign supplies and leather will be
cheaper and we will furnish you with
cheaper shoes. Those New England
manufacturers even figured out just
how much cheaper shoes were to be
under free hides.
But now we have free hides and
leather is higher and shoes are going
to be higher instead of lower in price.
Why didn't those ~agitators hand the
country a gold brick?" Didn't they
promise what they have not been able
to deliver? The only benefit We see
in the situation is that in the case of
hides it has been proved that it was
not the tariff thxt made the high
prices. We had heard that for years.
Now we have free hides and leather
is higher. The tariff wasn't to blame.

The Only One Benefited.

The people who shouted for free
hides because they thought that the
result would be cheaper shoe leather
are revising their views concerning
tariff revision. 1t does not work as
they expected it would. At least they
are not appreciably benefited by the
removal of the duty. About the only
person who has derived any advantage
from the change is the foreigner who
has been selling hides to American
manufacturers. He is sticking the
abated amount in his pocket instead
of permitting it to flow into the treas
ury of the United States.-Salem
