ORDER or True AMERICANS

An organization calling itself the
order Of True Americans has estab-
Iished headquarters at Rome. Ga. The
object, as explained by Rev. Mr..
Lamb. the founder and president, is
the deportation Of the negroes from
America. Territory is to be acquired
somewhere, land owned by negroes in
this country is to he purchased at a
fair valuation and the race required
to make its home in the new country
selected. The order, it is stated, has
lodges i'm every southern state, and
will canvas the norther states in sup
port Of its proposition.
While nothing could be more Chi
mcrical, this agitation has in it the
elements of mischief. Much harm
may result in the localities remote
from the big road Especially it is
regrettablc that "a c~lergyman's name
should figure as the head of such a
movement. In the south among the
industrious and worthy negroes, great
reverence is felt for the cloth, and
white men who wear it WELD much
influence. When, therefore, the story
of this order and its purposes
is told in the small log cabins
or that section. carrying a sort
of church authority with it. the
simple inhabitants will expert
ence genuine anxiety and suffer some
discouragemeut in their efforts toward
achieving higher things here.

\ PATCHED IP AFFAIR.

In his Boston addrcss-the first
set speech he delivered in his present
| Swing around the circle"-Mr. Taft
stated in very plain terms the posi-
ton he occupies with respect To oul
present banking and monetary sys-
tenn He said:
Your chairman has made some
references To a number OF subjects to
which the attention Of congress may
well be directed, In the first place
there is the monetary situation While
it is probable that the Nreeland bill,
passed by the last congress, would aid
us i'm the case of another financial
crash. it is certain hat II banking
and monetary spstem is a patched up
affair which satisfies nobody, and.
least of all, those who are clear
headed and have a knowledge of what
"A financial system should he.
The ma tier has been referred by
congress to q monetary commission
which has been studying With much
interest and enthusiasm the financial
anu NftlNNhAlAA ENEAftiA 7 vi AH' $500
governments OF Europe. and has en-
bodied n will soon publish in in
teresting and attractive form the best
accounts of the financial systems of
the world.
1t is quite apparent from the
statements of Mir. Nreeland, who is
now the head of the committee on
banking and currency in the house
of representatives,. and from the con-
vcrsatious Of Mr.. Aldrich. who is
chairman of the monetary commits
sion and of the finance committee of
Che senate. that the trend of the
minds OF ia, monetary commission is
toward some sort Of arrangement for
a central bank Of issue which shall
control the reserve and exercise "A
power To meet and control the casual
stringency which from time To time
will come in the circulating medium
of the country and of the world.
Mr.. Aldrich states hat there are
two Indispensable requirements in any
plan to be adopted involving "a CEN
trail bank of issue. The one is hat
the control OF the monetary system
shall be kept free from Wall street
influences, and the other that it shall
not be manipulated for political pur-
poses. These are the i've principles
10 which We can an subscribe.

sTAND-PATTER SENTIMENT.

Pennsylvania is the paramount pro-
tectionist state Of the Union. and it is
interesting to republicans all over The
country. to see where the regulars"
of that state stand with respect TO
the new tariff. The state campaign
has just opened, and last Friday
United states Senator Oliver made
his first appearance in a state assem-
blage as a speaker since his election
to his present position. In the course
of his address, mainly confined to the
tariff. he said:
Under the banner OF protection
we have never gone to defeat. Some
OF our people are disposed to look on
protection as a temporary means of
esta blishing u industries, and think
the time will come when we will no
longer need a tariff wall to keep out
the products of old world labor. I
confess l once thought this, but |
am now convinced of my error. |
believe that in most of our Industries
We could compete successfully with
Europe If We had the same, or even
approximately the same. wage scale
that prevails there. But we have not,
and | pray zoo we never may lave.
II believe that a tarif is today more
necessary in this country than ever
before. The cost OF living is higher
than it ever was. and is constantly
advancing. and, though we are day
BY day cheapening u products by
labor-saving appliances, the rest OF
the world is by no means idle.
There is no doubt that the un-
.aralleled prosperity which followed
passage of the Dingley bill in
1897 led many of us to feel that we
could beat the world and no favors
This feeling is unquestionably
led 10 the agitation in the west
n favor of tariff revision. and cul-
in a promise by the republi-
national convention last year that
he congress would be called in extra
session to consider hat question. !
aow believe that this promise was un-
necessary and in no wise demanded
by the people. l believe that the
great mass of republican voters. cast
m west. were satisfied with the ex-
tariff. under which our country
lad so long enjoyed unexampied
prosperity. and that if it had not been
or the agitation OF the question by
men desiring to usurp party leader
nip they would have been content to

tend to institute a campaign of edu-
cation in order to arouse public opin-
ION to the necessity for a change in
our monetary and banking systems
and to the advantages that will rise
from placing some form of control
over the money market and the re-
serve in the hands of an intelligent
body of fnanciers responsible to the
government.
Il am told that Mr.. Aldrich Will
swing around the circle in the pres
ent fall. and will lecture in many of
the cities of the middle west on the
defects and needs of our monetary
system. ! cannot too strongly APP
prove of this proposal.
Mr.. Aldrich, WHIT is the leader of
the senate and certainly one of the
ablest statesmen in financial matters
in either house, has been regarded
with deep suspicion by many people,
especially in the west. If, with his
clear-cut ideas and simple but effect

rent to the western people what | be-
lieVe to be his earnest desire to aid
the people and to croWn his political
career by the preparation and pas
sage of a bill which will give us d
sound and safe monetary and bank
ing system, it would be a long step
toward removing the political obsta-
cles to a proper solution of the ques-

| set adrift in the river, thousands OF
them in a single bunch. Opposite
zach of the canneries men are waiting
in BOATS who grapple the vast floats
! with hooks, tow them over to the
cannery. where the fish are lifted VI
to the first noor and dumped in piles
to be killed and cooked and packed
in cans for the market. The fish will
weigh from thirty to seventy-five
pounds and will probably average
forty-dve pounds through the entire
season.
The use of the wheels is made pos
sible by the habit of salmon in swim
ming as close to the bank as they
can in their upward migration to the
spawning ground, You know that
when they are four years old salmon
always return to their birthplace TO
spawn. They never go anywhere else,
and they go in enormous schools
thousands, tens of thousands and even
millions of them; sometimes so many
that they move like a solid mass un-
der the water.
A story is old and believed that
twenty-five or thirty years ago the
river was SO crowded that men ac-
tually walked across from bank to
bank upon the backs of the fish. This
seems incredible, but any one who
saw the ran Of salmon in Puget
sound this summer would not dispute
it. | have heard reliable, serious men
say that they saw a million fish in
one school this summer which ac-
tually damned the water of the river
and so many were brought down to
the canneries at B~ellingham that it
was impossible to put them all up.
Word was sent out around the
try thai any one who wanted fish
should come to the Cannery and a
procession Of farmers wagons drove
up day after day ana We're loaded
with the poorer qualities, which were
taken home, dressed, salted, picked,
smoked and preserved in various
other forms for consumption next
winter. But even this did not dis
pose Of them all. and the cannery
people were compelled daily to tow
barges fun Of tainted fish out into the
sea and dump them where the water
is deep.
