Drain on Our Gold.

Even those who have been most in
telligently and Loyalty for the reform
of our defective and inadequate cur
rency system have had, during the
last decade or more, the consolation
that financial danger and even dis
comfort were modified by the enor-
nous international trade balances in
our favor, resulting in a constant flow
of foreign gold to us in settlement.
After the deduction every year of in
terest owed abroad by us, of ocean
freight bills paid to foreign bottoms,
of the spendings of American tour
lists, of remittances by our newer
population to relatives left behind,
there has still been a goodly sum due
us on the difference between our eX-
ports and our imports. This differ
ence has been settled in gold coming
here to fortify our money supply and
to assist our lame currency.
In the last three months the bal
ance of trade has been against this
country. The excess of imports over
exports has not been large-a few
millions. But small balance against
us, instead of a large balance in our
favor, makes an enormous difference
in our comparative financial condition
Thus, mere $7,000,000 of bal
ance against us for a given time, as
compared with an $4,000 900 bal
ance in our favor for a CORE
spending period OF the past, makes
our actual financial condition on that
account worse by $25, 100000. When
we must pay gold for ocean freight
charges, gold for tourists spend.
ings, gold for interest, gold for
our trade settlements, etc, where
before we cleared the accounts with
our excess shipments of commodities
to foreigners, the drain upon our specie
the only world money-must become
insupportable.
If the recent record of imports in
excess of exports is to continue, we
shall be forced to hasten currency re-
form. 1t is an i'll wiEd that blows no
body good.

Sunday on our naval vessels has
been a day of relatively close con-
finement, inspection and worship
when possible. When iE port the
days demands have been stricter upon
officers and crews than those usually
put upon landsmen. Pressure for re-
lief has at last led naval department
officials to let up on the rigor Of the
day, and to recognize that it should
give an opportunity for legitimate rec
reation and social life, when vessels
are in port, which crews and officers
should have. An order to this effect
will soon be issued, so it is said; and

that was made for him, and not he

Mr.. BRYAN AND THE TARIFF
Commcner's Call is Belated and
Raises the Issue in Almost
Lifeess Form.

William ]. Bryan's call in the Com
moner to the Democratic party to take
up fight against the principle of pro-
lection is curiously beated. 1t has a
worse defect than that from a prac-
tcal standpoint, for the issue in the
form he would raise it is almost life
less.
For many, many years Mr.. Bryan
has kept the tariff distinctly in sec
ondary place. He has no doubt an out
and-out record as to his principles,
but he has not fighting record on
this subject Now, however, that
distinct beginning at tariff reform has
been made by the insistence of the
progressive element of the Republican
party, and that this same progressive
element proclaims that it will fight
steadily for more in the way of re-
suits, Mr.. Bryan seems to think 1t a
good time to take an extremists posi-
tion. Surely this time he cannot claim
that others are reaping where he has
sown. Rather that relation is re-
yersed, so far as his attitude goes.
That any large amount of atten-
tion can be attracted by fight on the
protective principle as such seems al
most impossible. Every one recog-
nizes that the political problem has to
do with concrete tariffs, and that the
real tariff fight is not one fight but
hundred fights, with divided armies in
each case. The Democrats in the sem
ate were never consistently against
all duties. Clarke of Arkansas is the
only senator who never voted with AL
drich, and he was absent most of the
time. The Democratic senators aver
aged IL votes apiece on the Aldrich
side. They averaged q votes apiece
against Aldrich. Statistically we may
say, therefore, that they were 12%
per cent. protectionist.
Whether it would be better politics
or not, it would probably be more ef-
fectiye work for tariff reform if Mr..
Bryan would adopt more closely the
position of the progressive Republi-
cans and make tariff revision, not tar
if obliteration, his cry. No two pro-
gressives want exactly the same
amount of revision and MIR. Bryan
need not limit himself by anybody
else's standard. But the way to get
ahead is by attacking particular rates
of duty because they are evil and not
! by attacking all duties because they
are duties.

PAYROLLS KEEP EXPANDING
improvement Is the Order of the Day
in Trade, Collections and
Industry.

New York City.-Bradstreets says:
Improvement is the order of the
day in trade collections and indus
try. Colder weather, freezing temper
aturo light SHOWS or killing frosts,
coupled with freer crop movement,
have helped retail trade and collec-
tions at the west and northwest, while
lower temperatures and high prices
and free marketing of cotton have
helped distribution at the south. Job
bing trade has been coincidently bene-
fitted by reordering to fill broken
stocks and the distribution trade side
presents a very favorable appearance.
From industrial lines the same story
of full order books and of longer hours
now comes, payrolls are expanding
and available skilled labor is reported
closely employed, with less idleness
noted than for two years past.

LOST CHILDREN TURN UP
THEY WE'RE KIDNAPPED FROM ST.
LOUIS LAST AUGUST.
Detective Finds Them Wandering
AimIessIy on the North Side of
City of Chicago.

Chicago, 1.-two Italian children,
identeified from photographs as To-
masso and Grace Viviano, who were
kidnapped from st. Louis August 2 last
and who have been sought since by
the police of many cities, were found
October 5 wandering aimlessly on the
north side of the city by Detective
Stephen Parodi of the Chicago Avenue
police station.
The children when found were sit
ting on a curb stone at North Halsted
and Reese streets. Both were weep
ing, the little girl, who is less than
four years old sobbing bitterly, and
Tomasso, her cousin, who is years
old. trying to comfort her. Detective
Parodi took the children in his arms
and asked them where they lived.
Tomasso said that he did not know.
Remembering the Viviano case he
asked Tomasso if his name was VIVA
no. The boy nodded his head as if to
confirm his identity. The detective
hurried with the children to the Chi
cago Avenue police station. Photo
graphs of the missing st. Louis chill
dren were procured from the central
detective bureau and Inspector
O'Brien was convinced on comparing
them with the homeless foundlings,
that they were the long sought victims
of the st. Louis kidnapping which had
taxed the ingenuity of the detectives
in many cities for weeks.
Tomasso the elder of the two chill
dren, was asked by the inspector and
Capt. Rehm where he and Grace had
been since they were taken from their
home in st. Louis. The child could
give no intelligent answer. He said
he did not know where he lived and
could give no account of his abandon
ment. Inspector O'Brien notified the
st. Louis postofice of the recovery of
the children.

LOOK TO REPUBLICAN, PARTY
Virginia Begins to Realize That Or
ganization Is the Friend of
American Induatries.

A Washington correspondent who
has been making inquiries in Virginia
reports a growing spirit of political
liberation in that state. Children are
no longer threatened that the Repub-
licans will get them if they don't
watch out. The elimination of $4,000
or more negro voters by the election
law has removed partly one Virginia
prejudice against the party. President
Taft's popularity has helped some
what. but the chief factor has been
state.
Here, as elsewhere in the south, the
growth of industrial operations has
turned attention to Republican princi-
pals. The same influences which have
convinced the industrial centers of
the north that the Republican party
is the friend of American industries is
leavening the south, slowly, perhaps,
but none the less surely. The support
of protection by southern Democrats
has merely recognized that sentiment.
1t may be long day before Virginia
goes Republican, but this correspond
ent thinks it may come. An especially
encouraging feature in Virginia is that
the Republican organization is not Off
cered by or dependent upon federal
office holders. The movement is in
the hands of the younger element in
business. There is not one federal
office holder on the executive commit
tee, and but 20 of the 120 county and
city committee chairmen are in that
category The Republican campaign
is for the present educative, but it is
making progress, and is based upon
appreciation of principle rather than,
as in some other southern states,
merely marking time for the spoils-
! men.

AS PARTY MEASURE
PRESIDENT TAFT ACCEPTED THE
PAYNE TARIFF BILL.
Eest Possible Under the Circum-
stances and He Believes II Will
Meet the Full Requirements
of the Country.

1t was most appropriate for the
president to save his tariff speech for
the home of Representative Tawney.
No other member of the house was 80
severely criticised for his support of
the Payne bill. The only member of
his states delegation to take that posi-
ton, Mr.. Tawney was told that by It
he had sealed his fate, and advised to
invest in a shroud.
1t is too early to say what the Re-
publicans of the first Minnesota dis
trict will do at the polls next year, but
if the presidents recommendations
have weight they will return Mr.. Taw-
ney to congress. He stands with the
president on the tariff question, has in
huence on legislation by reason of his
committee assignment, and should
again be chairman of appropriations If
his party controls the next house.
Speaking at Winona the presidents
explanation of why he signed the bill
and his exposition of the attitude of
Mr.. Tawney were in the spirit OF the
party leader The president saw the
necessity for tariff action. A failure to
legislate meant party "demoraliZa-
ton" And not only would this be felt
as respects the tariff, but as to other
matters awaiting attention. Important
as it was, the tariff was not the
whole thing" Last November's COM
sponsibility, and the president was
looking at the entire program.
In word, the occasion called for
a compromise, as SO many legislative
occasions do, and the president made
the best compromise possible. He
could have wished for different rates
here and there, but realized that, upon
the whole, he was making good terms
and so signed the bill.
Had the president stopped here he
would have left his party on the de-
fensive But he added an Endorsement
of the new law which is a challenge to
all of its opponents, Republicans as
will as Democrats. In his opinion the
new measure is the best of it's kind
his party has ever framed, and he eX-
poets it to meet the full requirements
of the case
Still he does not consider the tariff
question closed. The operations of the
Payne law will throw new light on the
controversy, and there will be time for
additional changes should it be shown
that they are necessary. But he points
out to those Republicans who desire
such changes that they should strive
for them within their own party il
they. sincerely believe in the policy OF
protection. The one party is commit
ted to the support of that policy, while
the other advocates a policy directly
in conflict with it,

The PresidefJ on the Tariff.

The president is standing by the
tariff measure which has been enact
ed bv congress and which he has
signed and the completion of which
has been followed by marked degree
of buoyancy and cheerful anticipation
on the part of business men through
out the United States.
He does not believe the new law is
in every respect the best which could
have been devised, but he does be-
lieve it is the best the country has
ever had. He believes in valuing it
by it's merits, not ignoring its merits
and concentrating attention on it's de-
fects.
Recognizing Congressman Tawney.
the only Minnesota delegate in con
gress who voted for the bill, as hav-
ing been actuated by the same senti-
ments with respect to ii which have
shaped his own course, the president
took advantage of his first opportu-
nifty of speaking to Minnesota people
to assure them of his respectful opin-
ion of Representative Tawney
There were those who thought the
president would dodge on the subject
of Tawney if not on the subject of the
tariff, but he is no coward.
