Toward a Central Bank.

Officials OF the treasury are con-
WINGED that both the public and the
country banks have laid aside most of
their prejudice against the central
bank idea. These officials, looking at
the movements of opinion merely as
information in the line OF their duty,
think that the long-sustained political
hostility to a central bank, dating
from Jackson's battle with Biddle and
his bank has nearly passed away. The
position Of the president, which is not
a demand, but a thoughtful willing
ness to consider the recommendation
IL presented by the monetary commits
sion, has had a profound effect on
general opinion. AS the old democrats
learn that the central bank idea of
Biddle bank that Jackson destroyed,
they forget any prejudice resting on
the ground of political consistency.
The Aldrich plan contemplates only a
bank of issue which will be free of
Wall street influence and separated
from the politics OF political machines.
II this separation from Wall street
and the machines seems difficult, the
country feels that for the present it
can trust President Taft and can
await the full development of the COM
missions plan. II the national bank
ers, somewhat reluctant and highly
critical. could project at their conyen-
ton no serious reason for hostility, the
people feel that they are not called
upon to sound a call 10 battle.
Speaker Cannon's refusal to indorse
the idea is ascribed rather to his
settled objection to violent changes in
the money system than to a positive
intention OF opposition. His appoint
ment OF Vreeland is not consistent
with a bitter personal opposition. In a
parliamentary sense. Vreeland is as
powerful as Aldrich. While Cannon is
not willing TO be considered a pre-
ponent OF a right-angled, abrupt
monetary change, he is willing that
the majority shall take that course II
the president and the other leaders
have decided on the policy and the

Money Rates.

Money prices are to those who pro-
~fessionally deal in that apparently
mysterious commodity as simple as
the price Of corn and cotton. A Wall
street paper says that money looks
easy now. but we are two years from
the panic of 1907, aud, unless all re-
corded history counts for nothing, we
are lear the end Of the cheap money
period.
This opinion is predicted on the
stated rule that after great panics, es-
pecially those which are felt with
more or less effect in all the worlds
markets, money becomes very easy
and remains so for a long time. In the
panic of 1878, after the rate had
touched 8 per cent in November, it
had fallen to 2h by June. In the late
panic money could not be- obtained
at any price for a time, but it has been
steady lately at 21a per cent, People
quickly forget and they now talk as if
the price could never change. The
Wall street paper utters the caution
that conditions after these periods of
easy money change with surprising
rapidity. 1t is generally in the late
autumn the unlendable surplus seems
suddenly to have disappeared. The
market realizes hat its calculations
must be based on an entirely new set
of figures.
One authority does no know more
than another or see much further, but
1t is not improbable to note the dicta
of these organs of the stock market. If
money is on the verge of tightness the
people, ever those who have not much
cash, ought to know the signs and gov
ern themselves with prudence.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-21

In Omaha and the other packing
%centers the causes OF high live stock
prices are fairly well understood, but
IL is a big subject and all explanations
become interesting. A Texas ranchman
visiting in New England has given out
interviews which have set the writer's
at work. His view lie that the under
production ofb eef cattle, caused by
cutting up the ranches into farms,
is m main cause, and that the
other is the abnormal consumption Of
meat due to the country's prosperity.
These are not bad guesses, but are
not the whole Of the subject. They do
not explain the high prices Of hogs
and pork, which are in part produced
by the difficulty Of raising hogs when
diseases ravage the herds so often.
After all, however, the dominating
cause is the ~unceasing Increase Of
mouths to he fed. The west needs beef
and pork as much as the east. The
south Is buying more every year. The
packing industry while It has utilized
meat products beyond the Imagination
of fifty years ago has taught not only
this country but the world to pro-
vision itself literally with meat. Fresh
meat is a small part OF the total. Can
ned and prepared meat is used
by the ton in the armies OF Europe,
which once were glad to feed on vege-
table aGticles. Even Japanese commits
sariats are using meat rations. The
navies and heavily manned ships
are passing by navy beans and enlarg-
ing the meat allowance.
In our country more population
stands for more meat. Aliens, who
rarely tasted meat in Europe eat it
freely here. Natives, who relied on
ham and bacon have turned to high
priced cuts of beef and to fresh pork.
The changes of the last twenty-five
years have all been toward meat cOn-
sumption. The prosperity of the
Mckinley period taught habits of liv-
ing hard to give up and the present
active era, following a vast increase of
population, presses heavily on the
meat supply. What will be the end
be foreseen, but, as far as any
investigator can calculate, the prices
beef and pork will be high for a
long period.

"Embezzlement Of Power.

In some Of his recent speeches Mr..
Bryan has again been using a favorite
expression, "Embezzlement Of Power, "
with which he characterizes the repu-
diation by any public officer OF the
pledges made in order to secure the
votes necessary to elect him. Nobody
should defend deceit and double deal
ing, and the acquisition Of official
power by fraud may properly be
likened to embezzlement.
But is this much different from the
attempt to secure official power by
masquerading in a party livery that
belongs to someone else. How about
the theft Of a party name and the mis-
branding of candidates for Office in or
der to fool people iuto giving votes,
which could never be gotten travelling
under their wi cognomen?
To go back only one year, what
about the ENLIGHTENMENT by Mr..
Bryan's democratic presidential cleo
tors in Nebraska in 1908 of the popu-
list name, and their invasion of the
official ballot under the populist label,
as well as under the democratic label?
Everyone knows that except for this
fragrant fraud the Pryanite presiden-
tial electors in Nebraska would have
lost Is, 200 to 10000 votes that would
have gone to Tom Watson had he not
been thus frozen out, and that in the
electoral college Nebraska would have
stayed in the republican column. If it
is an ''embezzlement Of power to
climb into Office on false representa-
tion, what should we call the capture
of the votes of eight presidential cleo
tors by the theft Of the populist name?
II might be fruitless to go again into
this dead history were the democrats
in Nebraska not at this very moment
trying to repeat the B~ryanite perfor-
of 1908 Just recalled. In order
to secure pOpulist votes by fraud and
cratic state ticket asking for election
this fall have, each and every one of
them, falsely worn that they affiliate
with the populist party. Their names
are to go on the official ballot, not only
as democrats, but also as populists, al
though they have never been enlisted
in the %populist party, and last fall
openly opposed the populist presiden-
tial nominee. If to make a pledge
never intended to be carried out, and
to repudiate it at the first opportunity,
contains the moral ingredient of en-
bezzlement of power, for a notorious
democrat to feign being a populist in
order to steal populist votes presents
the same moral element of embezzle-
ment.

HAS NO DELUsIONs.
Democratic Tariff R~eformers stumped
by a Record

FiNlSDuTB DlSpdtCn.
Judging from Mr.. Bryan's speech in
Texas, that gentleman has no decisions
about the democrats carrying The next
house. Both the Nebraskan and the New
York organizers are agreed that the tariff
is their next issue, but Mr.. Bryan sees
that whatever chance his party might have
had for victory on that plank has been
sacrificed by the action of the party's rep
.resentatives In congress when the tariff
legislation was before them.
II all the democrats in the house and
senate, Mr.. Bryan plaintively observes. had
voted against every increase and for every
proposed decrease we might have made
our fight next year upon the psrty's rec
ord But whatever fight they make will,
on the contrary, have to be made against
that record. His proposal that the party
declare for a material reduction is imprac-
ticable in view OF what the party's repre-
sentatives actually did. Nor can il be ex-
pected that the tariff democrats in the
constituencies represented by the tariff
voting representatives will 20 along on
such a platform. II may be adopted as
a general statement OF party policy. but
II will be impotent and valueless when put
to the test Of votes, And the voter will
not easily forget the party's record. no

An order has been signed by Postmaster
General Hitchcock raising the fee for
registering a letter or a package from to

to increase the liability Of the government
from $5 to $50. The excuse for the in
crease is that the registry department has
been run at a loss.
we do not think that the increase of
liability will be regarded by the general
public as much OF a boon. We do think
that the utility Of The postoffice as a safe

lessened by the increase in charge. For
30 cents a man can send 500 by express
money order. Eight cents is enough for
The secure transmission Of a 81 bill by
