Claims That Republican
Party Never Promised
Revision Down.
HIS TWO SPEECHES
ARE -PARALLELED
Before Election He Had it
One Way and Now He
Has it the Other.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 Especial
to the Statesman an.)-''Nothing was ex-
pressly said in the platform that this
revision was to be a downward revi-
sion.''
This declaration, made by President
Taft in his recent speech before the
New York republican club, reopens
the much -mooted question: Did the
republican party live up to it's cam
paign promises in revising the tariff ?
Democrats accept the challenge with
pleasure, and will be pleased to make
the issue raised by President Taft the
leading one in the approaching con-
gressional campaigns. The use of
blackboard and chalk may be one of
the methods resorted to by stump
speakers to illustrate in a striking and
conclusive manner whether the Payne
Aldrich- Smoot bill is fullfillment of
Taft and the republican platform pro-
misses After giving arithmetical dem
onstrations, democrats orators may
further strengthen their views by
reading from speeches made by such
republicans as LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin. Beveridge of Indiana, C.app of
Minnesota, Cumnins and Dolliver of
Iowa and others. They declared again
and again that the tariff was not being
revised in accordance with, the pro-
mise made in the republican platform.
Mark the difference in these two ut
terances of Mr.. Taft:
Before election: Cat Milwaukee, Wis,
Sept "a, 190S,) 'Tt is my Judgment that
a revision of the tariff in accordance
with the pledge of the republican plat
form will be. on the whole. substan-
tial revision downward.
After election: Cat New York, Feb.
u, 1900 Nothing was, expressly said
in the platform that this revision was
to be a downward revision."
What the republican national plat
form promised was tariff revision on
the basis of equalization of "the diff
ference between the cost of production
at home and abroad. together with
reasonable profit to American indus
tries
Was the tariff revised on this basis

CREDIT EXCHANGE
Nearly Three Fourths of All
Deposits Are Made
By Check.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The tre-
mendous extent to which checks ara

place of cash in the ordinary business
of this country, and the financia, ques-
this phenamenOn are discussed in in
tcresting and timely fashion in the
latest Of the monographs of the Ma

was prepared for the CON ii i:3.>on by
Dr. David Kin,e~ of the University of
Illinois, and ap cars under H.: ti;l',
The use of credit instruments in pay
ments in the United States" This work
by Doctor Kinley supplements and en-
larges previous inquiries which he has
made under authority of the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency in 1894 and 1896.
"The fact that the use of checks
against deposits renders unnecessary
cy," says the author at the outset, at
tracted attention early in the history OF
deposit banking. and efforts have been
made from time to time TO determine
the proportion of money, or currency,
replaced with checks and credit die
uments Of similar character" He de-
scribes the purpose of his inquiry as
having been two-fold. First, "to find q
basis for estimating the proportions of
business and by means Of credit pa
per or the volume of exchanges set
tied without the direct use Of money
or curency-in other words, the vol
ume of money which credit instru-
ments enable the country to dispense
volume of money which the country
needs" and, second, ito shed light on
the effect of credit exchanges on the
value of money, or the price level"
There have been several previous in
quiries i'm Great Britain and the United
States in regard to the use OF checks
in wholesale transactions, but it was
only with the inquiry of 1894 that u
direct investigation was attempted as
to the use of checks in, retail trade. The
earlier inquiries established the fact
that approximately 80 per cent OF the

what has fallen this year, but ind1ca-
tions are that the fraction will more

this month, and the winter OF l9o9- lo

Across the street from me a pretty
little drama is enacted regularly each
Sunday afternoon.
At just about o'clock a nice look
ing young man walks rapidly up the
garden path and bounds up the steps
of the house opposite.
But quickly as he goes. the door is
always opened before he reaches the
top step by some one who has evil
IDENTIFY been watching for him.
Before the door closes again 1 often
see him stoop down and kiss little
gray-haired lady who opened it for
him.
No, he isn't her son.
No, he isn't her nephew. He isn't
any relative at all.
He is simply the only one of her
home where they all used to have such
jolly times before the boy died.
Most of the others never came after
the boy went. Some of them came
once or twice
If this boy ceased to come I think
she would feel as If the last link that
connected her with the youthful hap
gone.
Is it in your power to give any lone
some father and mother such happi-
ness?
