Wants Currency
Made Sanitary

Washington, Oct 4.-Lee McClung,
treasurer OF the United States, is anx-
ious to see a sanitary currency. In his
annual report he recommends that the
government increase its facilities for
exchanging worn and dirty bills for
new ones, and suggests that the
public might be willing to share the
laundry bills.
Mr.. McClung made a radical recon-
mendation that the national banks Be
required to deposit an additional pc.
cent redemption fund for their notes
early in January each year, in addition
10 the 8 per cent now deposited. He de-
clares that during January, April, May,
June and Judy the per cent fund is
not sufficient. AS the notes are obliga-
tions OF the banks, and not OF the gov-
ernment, Mr. McClung recommends
that the banks be required to deposit
more money to cover them.
The balance Of the report is devoted
to a complete review Of the finances Of
the United States treasury for the
fiscal year 1910 which closed on June
80.
During the year the government re-
ceived from ordinary sources $675.5fl,
7l5, the largest amount in its history
The revised estimates placed the Total
stock OF money Of the United States in
existence. at $s,419,591, 4S3, OF whnh
more than Sl.50o.000.OO0 was in gold.
AT the close OF the year more than
$4,000, 100000 was in use. The demand
for small denominations Of paper mon.
ey is taken to indicate an unusual ac.
tivity Of money in circulation.S Three
hundred million pieces Of paper cur.
rency were issued and more than 200
million were redeemed at the raas
ury. Their face value was si,7os,-
4oe,sS5.

REASON WHY
PRICES HAVE
ADVANCED
lBy Clrde Id. TaNenner.l


Washington, Oct 4.-When the
Payne-Aldrich bill was before the sem
ate, blind Senator Tom p. Gore Of OK
lahoma staked his reputation that if
the measure was passed extreme nigh
prices would follow.
The prophecy was fulfilled. Aver.
age prices rose more than / per cent
from June to December, 1909. Tue
prices OF steel trust common stock
more than doubled in six months in
1909.
It is the history Of all protectionist
countries that tariff revision upward
means increased prices. Ii is not gem
orally realized how rapidly the price
of tarif-protected articles rose after
the passage of the Dingley law in lS5-
From July /, 1897, to January j, 1900.
the first three years following e
DingIey law, the cost Of living adYanc-
ed 81 per cent or at the rate Of 9
per cent a year More trusts were
formed during this than during any
other similar period in our history
The price OF wire nails rose from.
s1.SS a keg in August, 1898. to ss.5S
in December. lS99-l6O per cent in IS
months.
The price Of barb wire rose from
$1.65 per 100 pounds in August, 1897
to $4.l3 in December, ls99-l50 per
cent in two years.
The price OF window glass rose from
$l.75 box in April 1897, to $3.50 in
April, lsO1-l75 per cent in four
years.
The Dingley tariff made the trusts,
and the truts put up the prices. But
fey any, trusts were formed during
TIN hfee years Of the comparatively
low duties Of the Wilson bill
When the German government intro
duced its tariff law Of 1902, it publish
ed an explanation which contained the
frank statement that finland prices
are raised, 50 far as a consideration of
the circumstances Of the last ten years
will allow us to judge, in proportion
to the duties"
In France, Italy, and some other
European countries a part Of the mu-
nicipal revenue is raised by duties on
goods entering the towns. At the gates
OF such towns there Is an official who
collects this tax, and it is found that
the difference in prices of articles
purchased outside aof the towns aid
within the towns is in nearly every
instance exactly the amount Of the
duty The same happens in trade be-
tween nations
The reason for the sugar trust. the
steel trust, the lumber trust and the
harvester trust are willing to con
tribute large sums to the campaign
funds Of President Taft and the r.
publican candidates for congress and
are unwilling to contribute to the
funds OF democratic candidates is that
the republican party is the party Of
excessive protection. Tariff revision
upward means increased prices ana
the tariff trusts know tha1 they can
collect from the people IN new profits
whatever sums they may invest in the
republican campaign funds.

The size OF the democratic majority
at the next election depends a good
deal on the weather in the cotton
belt If all the democrats in Oklahoma
go to the election and vote cruce will
be elected governor by 10000 If the
democratic farmers in the cotton coun-
ties stay at home to pick cotton Cruces
majority will be considerably less. The
records show that two years ago 40-
600 farmers in the Fourth and Fifth
congressional districts did not go to
the election. At least eighty per cent
Of these were democrats. If so large
a number Of voters should fail to vote
on the sth Of November, the election Of
Cruce would become extremely doubt
ful, and the election OF McNeal ex-
ceedingly probable. The democratic
farmers hold in their hands a certain
victory or an overwhelming defeat

The republican party OF Oklahoma
Offers the people nothing. Devoid Of
any progressive principles they attempt
TO disguise their dearth OF ideas by
resoriing to wholesale denunciations
o. democracy snd Misrepresentation Of
the present state government They
have nothing to offer but abuse. They
represent nothing but negation. They
base their claim for popular support
on the dual contention that taxes are
oppressiyely high, and that the admin.
istration has been criminally extraya.
CANT. The answer OF the records to-
their first assertion is, thar the state
tax levy for three years under state
government has averaged about one.
third OF what it did for five years prior
70 statehood. The territorial tax levy
for The five years 1902-06, averaged
Ga mills. OF the four annual tax lev.
les since statehood two have been 1925
mills one has been $50 mills. while
the present levy is only 100 mill. The
records answer to the second conten-
tion coniuses the republicans instead
OF comforting them. The amount OF
taxes collected BY the republican ter
ritory In 1906 was s65S,O00. The
amount Of taxes collected by the dem
ocratic state IN 1909 was $4,000. and
this after the state had been doubled
IN area and increased about two hun
dred per cent in populatioa. The cost
Of maintaining state government for
three years has averaged S2,049.0ls.
The cost Of maintaining the state gov
eminent in Kansas for 1909 was So
$4,000. The state government in Ok
lahoma costs less than state govern
ment in any republican state Of equal
area and population Thus we see
The TWO contentious OF the republican
party exploded by unanswerabie fig
ures and a party left without a single
principle upon which it can wage an
honest or successful battle.
