CON BILLION FOR EXPORT.

If considerable portion of a mer-
chants business were Of the wholesale
sort. part of his customers demanding
his commodity in barrels. yet he never
thelcss insisted. at considerable expense,
upon having alpthe barrels rs they came
to him unTacked. keeping his supply on
hand only i'm retail lots. everybody would
say that he lacked ordinary business
sense. Vet il IS something like that
which this country does with It's gold.
Producing more gold than il requires. it
has some for export. Yet. although the
demand of the exporters Of gold is chief
is for gold bars. the government Is IN
the habit of melting its gold bars and
coming them into dollars and supplying
fo the exporter who wants gold bars
gold dollars The Secretary of the Treas
ury estimates that this habit costs
S2Goo0o year.
There is bill before Congress hav-
ing the support of the Secretary of the
Treasury which permits the Treasury to
keep on hand gold bars for export and
foreign coin also. treating it as bullion.
II permits the issue Of Il reasonable pro
portion Of gold certificates against bull
lion instead of as now all against gold
coin. If The bill passes. when an eN-
porter presents gold certificates he may
obtain i'm exchange for them gold bars
or foreign coin. as he wishes. The pro-
posed law is hedged about with safe
guards and leaves such ample discre-
sion with the Secretary of the Treasury.
who may be guided by experience, that
il is certain no one will ever present
q gold certificate for redemption, de-
handing gold coin. and find only gold
bars available. The bill is plainly sen
siblc and ought TO pass.

WANTS PERSONAL PROTECTION.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: BY your editorial Of last Wednes-
day. Seeking Industrial Peace it appears
that no remedy has yet been found 10 end
the war between capital and labor.
TO my mind. the remedy is clear it IS
simply to give genuine protection 10 every
lawabiding citizen in his person and cali
ing-that liberty TO which we are all en-
titled. Give us this, and industrial peace
and prosperity will quickly follow.
am aware IL will be difficult TO get this
protection, because many oficehoders
rather than risk losing the labor vote
would shun their duty and sacrifice their
patriotism too. c. D. w.
