needed for crop-moving purposes.
Every fall there is tremendous de-
mand on the banks for money to get
the wheat, corn, oats, etc., to mar
ket, and heretofore the Treasury has
come to their assistance by giving
them deposits of public money! which
could be returned after the rush was
over. But the department is not
in a position this year to give the
banks help in this way to the extent
desired. The question is, therefore,
How is the money to be supplied?
and it is a problem that is daily be-
coming more pressing.
Under the emergency currency
law the national banks can issue
currency up to the amount of $780,
100000 to meet just such occasions
as these. But they would be re-
CURED to deposit bonds with the
Treasury as security for the amount
of currency issued and the transact
each bank. The currency is already
printed and could be issued upon ap-
plication without delay
But the banks think they know
trick better than that. Instead of
attempting to take out the emergen-
cy currency authorized by law, they
are endeavoring to create such a sit
uation as will compel Secretary Nc
Veagh to issue Treasury certificates
of Indebtedness, which pay per
cent. interest. They want the De-
partment to issue about $100,0OO,-
600 Of these certificates.
The banks could deposit these and
issue circulation against them the
same as against government bonds,
and during the year they were out
standing they would be earning that
per cent, whereas the emergency
currency would, of course, pay no in
est at all. The transaction would
cost the government 100000 in
interest, and would save the banks
practically all expense.
There is no way of compelling the
banks to take out emergency curren-
cy and if they persist in their pres
ent attitude, the chances are there
will be serious money stringency
within the next month or two, which
the Treasury will have to relieve in
some fashion.

LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS

After treating eczema for years as a
practically incurable blood disease, the
medical world is greatly interested in
the discovery that 1t Is not a blood dis
ease at all, but is due to a parasite in
the skin itself. This parasite is easily
destroyed by the external application of
a compound of oil of wintergreen, thy
mol, glycerine, etc. This will quickly
kill all eczema germs, while soothing
and refreshing the skin.
DIR. R. A. Folkerts, of Duluth. Mimi,
tells OF the success in treating patients:
There was a men here suffering from
eczema for the past fourteen years, and I
applied the D. d. d. treatment. ! also APP
piled 1t to a man of West Duluth, Mimi,
who has been suffering with rheumatism
for fourteen years, and Eczemain his feet,
and the second treatment in both cases
first application is a balm, and its sooth.
ing effect is beyond expression. j shall
never be without It, and shall use It among
my patients altogether
No matter how terribly. you suffer
from eczema. salt rheum, ringworm.
etc, you will feel INSTANTLY soothed
and the itch allayed at once when a few
drops of this oil of w~intergreen COM
pound is applied. TIE cures all seem to
be permanent. Petty's Pharmacy,

day, Thomas L. Hisgen. who was the
Independence League candidate for the
presidency last fall, formally with
draws from the Hearst party. He will
hereafter align himself with the Demo-
Gratis. In explaining .his action Mr..
Hisgen said:
Perfection is not found within any
party now before the public. The Re-
publican party can never be free from
trust domination SO long as its present
leaders are in power.
THE Democratic party, while an
ideal instrument for reform, because it
unites more than any party now before
the public the wage-earner n small
merchant, is continually being betrayed
by the bosses who are in power in the
larger civic centres.
THE independence League as a ma
tional force will pass the way of other
third parties, the Free Soil party, the
Populist party n the Peoples party.
III during the x national cam-
paign h older parties unite upon So
called conservative lines. however, they
will leave an opening for a great radi-
cal party, q new party. with leaders
who are now within the ranks of other
parties n whose following is already
great in scope.

dependence party will follow any great
radical Republican These, in the
nature Of things, will be found voting
