PROPOSED LAW NOT NEEDED.

& ONE vagaries in the weight Of food articles
~ sold in packages has led to an attempt to
have Congress pass law requiring that the
weight of the goods shall be stamped on the
packages containing them, but there are some
serious objections to the proposed law. If en-
acted the law would apply to the District of Co
lumba only but it is believed by many manu-
tacturers that its influence would extend TO other
states and upset the plan for uniformity in egis-
ldtion as to food products.
In some quarters there has been an effort TO
create a prejudice against goods furnished in
packages by advising that the consumer buy
his goods from the bulk Those who urge the
bulk purchasing plan contend that it would be
II cheaper in the end but a noted writer in COM
II renting on the cost of living in this country and
broad says that the cost of living of the poor in
-uropean countries is considerably increased by
le habit OF purchasing food in small quantities,
M IRnaller than the usual package The package
iV4ystem of groceries in ghis country has resulted
n the purchase OF larger quantities at cheaper
B.es
= ~ The Package system is really protection and
~ convenience. The goods reach the consumer in
, better condition. There is great amount of
handling. he fact that they meet the demands
of the consumer is evident from the large sales
of such goods. There can be substitution in
packages articles. The quality can be ascertained
Purchasing from bulk is uncertain because the
purchaser can never be sure of the quality Of the
bulk goods.
There are practical objections to a law requir-
ing package goods to be stamped according to
weight Some package goods, as crackers, for in
stance, are likely to change in weight because
81 the humidity Of the atmosphere body OF
heavy crackers might be worth less than the
same size box of light ones.
The Federal law requires that II the package
is sold as OF a certain weight the weioht must
be plainly marked on the carton and the uncer-
tainty and inability OF manufacturers to guaran-
tee the weight regardless of climatic conditions
has caused them to refuse to take chances which
they would do by selling packages according to
weight.
After all. the proposed law would not benefit
the consumer who purchases food articles by the
1ackage and not by weight. Purchasers know
what they are getting and if they think they are
being cheated they will buy no more goods OF
the kind There is no attempt at deception in SELL
ing food articles in this convenient way. law
troviding that package goods should be sold by
weight only could not benefit the consumer, but
It would be means OF harassing the manufac-
turer.

millions Of dollars IN gold
At the time of the silver panic Of 1898 Mr..
Coe fell to speaking reminiscently about
the financing done by the national govern
ment during the Civil War. I asked him
how far Secretary Chase had followed the
counsels Of the leading bankers OF Boston.
New York. Philadelphia, Chicago and
Pittsburg.
well 1 can't tell you that" said Mr..
Coe, smiling. yet 1 do know that Presi-
dent Lincoln and Secretary Chase received
financial counsel by the bushel basket
full. so to speak, from bankers all over
the United States. But this counsel
stopped all of a sudden. and I'm going to
tell you Of the incident that brought it to
a close.
president Lincoln had been urged to see
a representative committee Of bankers OF
the leading cities OF the Union, which he
at last consented to do This was early
I'm the second year Of his administration
and just before the national banking act
had been passed by Congress. He received
us. as now remember IL, in the cabinet
room. He had on a loose coat and he wore
carpet slippers He was cordial enough,
invited us to be seated. and then swung
one Of his long legs over an arm of his
chair. SO vigorously did he swing that leg
that thought every second he would lose
his slipper.
Now. gentlemen. he said. when we
had all become seated, L am ready 10
hear what you have to say. and want
every one of you who has an opinion 10
express TO give it to me. When you have
finished, ] will tell you. in turn. what 1
think
well. We started in.' continued AIr.
Coe. smiling broadly, "and you never
heard such a curious congloneration OF
financial views. Some OF the committee
were sure that tho government. by adopt
ing their plans, could instantly resume
specie payment. Others wanted an irrc-
deemable paper money issue. Still Others
insisted that we ought to sell millions Of
bonds abroad and secure two or three
hundred millions OF dollars in gold.
''The President listened patiently to what
we had TO say, and when at last It was
apparent that we had talked ourselves
dry, a whimsical look spread over his
features. Then he began.
We'll, gentlemen he said, since
have been in this Office I have heard a
great deal about fee-nance.' CThat was
tho way he pronounced it, Before !
came here my idea OF fee-nance was that
man should pay his bilIs--earn enough
money to pay them and have a little left
over. That was the way / practiced fec
nance. That was the way I got my little
cottage at Springfield. and. reckon. some
three OF four thousand dollars besides
But as have said, since I have been

COST OLE BATTLEsHIPs.

TURING the debate on the bill carrying
- appropriation for two battleships Senator
Perkins Of California, made eloquent plea for
the building of the two ships. One OF his argu-
ments was that the money for the work would
he distributed among the people OF the country
and it would be a good thing on that account.
What a fine reasoner this senators is.
If the Perkins argument be correct we should
build not two, but fifty ships yearly, and let
the government tax the people to pay for them.
If the building of two ships brings prosperity,
the building OF fifty ships should cause twenty,
five times much prosperity.
Perkins argument is not accepted by most
people The manufacturers in their convention
the other day called attention to the enormous
drain upon the resources of the country that
this constant preparation for war means. Other
bodies have discussed the expense.
The building of the ships IS according TO
the administration program. Each OF the super
dreadnaughts will cost as much as the entire
tional expenditure of the government during
Washngtons administration. But the expense
cannot be avoided. The nations of the world are
keeping fast pace in building instruments of
destruction and we must keep up with them.
Perhaps we can hold out longer than Others
but the end of this mad frenzy of war prepara-
tion is sure to come. The cost will be too great.
a statistcian has estimated that the building
of these two new batteships means So year
taken from every family in the land. IT is another
indirect addition to the burden of the high cost
OF living. 1t is estimated that i'm national taxes
is used for war purposes. As one writer puts it,
the preparation is a Marathon Devils dance
But if taxes were raised by an income tax at
fecting incomes as small as $500 year. does
