A NOTE OF WARMING.

With the agricultural and industrial
situations in the promising condition
that they are now and with such an
excessive supply of money as there is
at this time in this country at un-
usually low rates, the old dangers
which bring about financial and bust
ness panics are again confronting the
people. Attention is called to this
fact by Henry C1ews, the prominent
New York banker and publicist, in his
current financial review, and he names
these dangers as overconf1dence. ex-
cessive speculation and the fostering
of unsound and illegitimate enter
prises. OF course. another financial
and business panic is not imme diately
imminent, and it could be removed
beyond the realms of possibility by
the business men of the nation If they
would profit by the distressing expert
ences of the past and lay good and
stable foundations for the era of great
prosperity which seems to be at hand.
Such warnings as this one from Mr..
Clews are timely and should not go
unheeded. What he has to say on this
subject follows:
"While the crop outlook is not all
that might be desired, it shows i'm
provement and presents nothing to oc
casion alarm. 1t is quite possible, if
not probable, that we shall have as
large a cotton crop this year as last
year, in spite of the agitation for de-
creased acreage. AS there is good
profit in raising cotton at present
prices. and cotton is the most impor-
tant crop in the adjustment of our for
eign trade balance, the outlook in this
respect is entirely satisfactory. What
ever shortage there may be in wheat
will be more than compensated for by
the large increase in corn acreage. If
average conditions prevail we should
produce a record breaking corn crop.
AS this crop exceeds in value any
other two crops combined, and farm
ers are securing very profitable prices
for this cereal, it is reasonable to hope
for another profitable harvest. Wheat
is. of course. very profitable crop at
present figures; though it is not with
out significance that the present high
price of flour has so checked con-
sumption as to cause supplies to ac-
cumulate and force price cutting
among the mills. The fruit crops are
not in as good condition as last year,
and all crops combined are officially
stated to be points below last year,
but 8 points above the year before.
With our industrial and agricultural
situations both in such promising con-
dition, it is not surprising that con-
f1dence is growing. and already run
ming into a strong degree of optimism
The dangers that once more confront
us are those of overconfidence, excess

unsound and illegitimate enterprises,
all of which are stimulated to an I'M
wholesome degree by an excessive
supply of abnormally cheap money.

THOSE WOODEN SCHEDULES.

With the brute strength that is
given to him by the votes at his
command Senator Aldrich was able
last week to force through the senate
the wool schedule in its entirety as he
prepared it for the tariff bill. 1t is
as high in every particular as is the
same schedule in the Dingley law,
and some persons, who are in a posi-
ton to know, assert. that it is so
craftily drawn to protect certain in
terests that many of its provisions
will make for even higher duties on
woods and wooden goods than are
now provided for by the present tariff
law.
If this Aldrich wool schedule is
adopted by the conference com
mittees and the bill containing it be-
comes a law through the presidential
signature, it means that the con-
sumers of the country will be bled
for the next few years to come as
they have in the past by being COM
PEELED to pay outrageously high
prices for their clothing. A high
wooden schedule hits the pocketbook
of every man and woman in the
country, for they all need wooden
clothes to wear, or rather. most of
them do, and 1t hits their pocket
books hard.
An Illuminating and concrete in
stance of the tribute that the people
of the United States have to pay be-
cause of the high wooden schedules
which have existed for years in tariff
laws and which Mr.. Aldrich would
continue in force was given recently
by Golfers Weekly. 1t printed let
ter from a graduate of the United
States Military academy to a friend
in which this particular brand of tariff
| hold-up was elucidated clearly. When
a young man graduates from West
Point he must provide himself with
uniforms in which to begin his army
| service which cost him something
over $500 if they are purchased in
| this country. Now there are abso-
lutte requirements as to texture and
| hneness of cloth for uniforms which
have to be met by army officers
They are not permitted to wear inita-
| tions of the real thing in the way OF
| uniforms. The writer of the letter
published by Golfers said that he
went to Europe Immediately after his
| graduation and before taking up his
| active duties in the army and pur-
chased all of the uniforms he needed
| for less than one-half of what he
would have been compelled to pay
for them if he had bought his
/ uniforms in his own country. He adj
vised all the graduates of West Point
| to use their graduation furIoughs in
a little trip to Europe for theil
uniforms and he showed them con
| clusively that they would have just al
| good uniforms, those comins
up in all ways to the U. s. army
! standards, and the pleasures of a lit.

that they would have to pay for theii
