PLUNDERING THE TREASURY.

1t is an interesting coincidence
that the current deficiency in the re-
ceipts of the treasury at Washington
is approximately the same as the
amount at which former Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw estimates the
annual losses to the government by
underyaluatiOns and fraudulent
weighing at the custom houses.
Until few days ago, when Sec
rotary MacVeagh woke up to the
fact that the custom house service
is "a nest of corruption" the rem
edy proposed was not vigorous &C
ton for prevention of frauds, but
the levying of more taxes. The ad-
mission by Mr.. Shaw that during his
service as secretary of the treasury
gross frauds were known to be prac-
ticed at the ports of entry, for which
nobody was punished, coupled with
Secretary MacVeagh's statement of
last week that housekeeping in the
treasury department had been too
long postponed, goes far to convict
the Roosevelt administration of I'M
pardonable looseness in dealing with
the peoples money.
Mr.. Shaw's statement that the
custom house frauds are just as bad
in Philadelphia as in New York and
worse in Boston than in either raises
the question why, if this fact was
known to the secretary of the treas
ury, the frauds in Boston were not
at least brought down to the aver
age of the other two ports. Curiosity
is also aroused as to the comparative
standing of the custom house in San
Francisco, where Secretary Mac
Veagh learns that undervaluations
has become habitual.
1t is not easy to understand how
differentiation and false weighing
can be long Systematically carried
on without official connivance. Prop
err inspection of the trick scales used
in the sugar frauds at New York
would have put stop to the steal
ing long before it could have rur
into the millions. The custom
house appraisers are supposed to be
experts who cannot be deceived il
the values of imported goods.
The administration machinery
says Mr. Shaw, is so complicated
that when fraud is discovered it i:
difficult to get prompt action. Ha:
it been Intentional made so in ordel
to impede the pursuit of fraud? Or
if this condition is the result of care
lessness or neglect, what have thu

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The democratic party is the party
of the constitution. It's mission is to
preserve the constitution in it's in
tegrity from the assaults of the cen
tralizers, the liberal constructionists
and all the other sappers and min
ors. Its present Office as the minor
ity party, to watch and check the
majority, is most essential to good
dependent upon the tariff policy
The two great parties of England
are perhaps as close to each other
as the two great American parties
with the same amount of overlap
ping. AS far as the distribution of
political strength is concerned, the
democratic party is less of local
party and more of a national party
than the republican. 1t is supreme
in one-third Of the statesof the union
and has a strong. aggressive organ
ization in all the rest. There is
hardly a state of the union in which
important municipalities are not
under democratic control, while in
more than a dozen states, containing
one-third the population of the un-
ion the republican party scarcely
has any existence.
The democratic party will not dis
solve or disintegrate whether the
tariff issue survives or not 1t has
more lives than cat and more elias
ITCHY than rubber ball. The harder
it is thrown down the more vigor-
ously it rebounds, and it fights like
a wildcat when it gets on it's back
The republican party has hopefully
predicted its demise score of times
in the last fifty years and eagerly
awaited the crepe on it's front door,
only to get knock-down blow from
the supposed corpse or such mani
festations of liveliness as threw the
republican ranks almost into panic
and confusion When the condition
of the democratic party seems des-
perate it is nearly always most dan
gerous. When by all political rules
it ought to be whipped to a stand
still it boldly declares, like John
Paul Jones in answer to the English
demand for surrender, that it has
just begun to fight. We take pleas
ure in announcing to the republican
prophets and soothsayers who are
writing the obituary of the demo.
cratic party that the funeral has
again been postponed indefinitely AND
that Jeffersonian democrats will live
for many years to come, to discipline
the republican party when it be.

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.

The tariff will be the issue next
year in the congressional elections,
and again in 1912 the presidential
campaign will fight it all over again.
There will be democrats falling into
the protection ranks and republi-
cans going over to the good old-time
democratic school that teaches the
orthodox science of government 1t
is too bad that we hear men asking
each other what kind of democrat
they are, when there should be only
one kind-the one broad enough to
work for the good of mankind every
where and for the highest degree OF
happiness toward all.-Sherman

Referring to the federal court.

Referring to the federal courts
decision against the Nebraska guar
anteed deposits law the Springfield
MASS Republican says: ''It is an
extraordinary decision which comes
from the United States circuit court
at Lincoln, Neb., multiplying the state
deposit guarantee law. To enforce
contributions by each bank to a COM
mon fund for the payment of losses
of failed banks is held by the court
to be depriving one person OF his
money to pay the debts of another,
and therefore to be taking prop
erty without due process OF
law. At first sight this may
seem to be a sensible judg-
ment. But consider the consequences
If it should be approved by the
United States supreme court. Prac-
tically all of the bank currency re-
form plans worthy of consideration,
which have been proposed, provide
at least for guaranty fund contri-
buted by all the banks for the re-
demption of the notes Of failed
banks after the manner of the Can
adam banking system. Now between
the circulating bank note and bank
deposits there is no essential differ
ence. They are merely dlnerent
forms of bank credit. They are
equally liability of the bank. The
federal government, moreover, is
held to provision against depriv-
ing anyone of his property without
due process of law as is the legisla-
ture or government of. Nebraska
Therefore, if this decision is te
stand, any reformed national bank
system which should provide gen
eral guaranty fund or mutual insur
ance of circulating notes, would be
outlawed to that extent. And one
may be sure banks will never be al
lowed to circulate notes against theil
general assets without such mutua
insurance of their note liabilities. i
is not alone the deposit guarant!
plan which is hit by this decision; !
is bank currency reform also which
receives knockout blow"
