Secretary OF the Treasury MacVeagh
proposes as precautionary measure
to withdraw from circulation all the
larger denominations OF greenbacks
and replace them by small bills. Con.
gress has shown much reluctance to
authorizing the withdrawal of any Of
the greenbacks owing to sentimental
regard with which they are held by
the masses OF the people, and 1t is not
likely that any attempt to permanent
ly retire any portion Of the outstand.
ing grceubacks would be acceptable.
Secretary MacVeagh's plan does not
contemplate a reduction in the out.
standing greenbncks. but the replac.
ing of the larger denominations by
similar amount Of small bills that will
go into active circulation among the
people. ~.
The larger denomination Of bills
rarely find their way into general cir
culation, but are held in banks and
other financial institutions and are
used as means of drawing gold from
the treasury when needed. 1t was
through the medium OF these bills that
so much gold was withdrawn during
the second Cleveland administration,
and, as under the law, they must be
reissued. they constitute a constant
menace to the gold reserve. In the
shope Of small notes the menace to
the gold supply would probably be
less active. ~ 'Lsf- III

LESS OPPOSITION AMONG LABOR

Though labor unions in several
parts Of the country have been at

now develops that in several instances
their hostility was due to lack of un.

ION that the movement aimed to train
the boys to be soldiers; and that It in.
sisted. through the Boy Scout oath,
upon implicit obedience to ones EN-:
ployers. Many labor leaders have
been led to study the manual and the
various books concerning the Sorgani-
cation and they have found that the
Boy Scout activities first OF all pro.

boys, Train. themsto be alertiand teach

They have found that a boy Is urged
to obey his conscience; that there is
no effort to require him to be obedi.
ent to his employer against his own
sense Of right. and that the movement
tends, to world peace. AS labor lead.
ers and workmen have come to under.
stand these things, they have tencour.
aged their sons to become Boy Scouts.
In that way, 1t is shown clearly that
the opposition OF the labor element
toward the Boy Scout movement is
gradually dying out.

In these three and one.half5 days 1t
acted on over 1000 bills. and at the
hour OF adjournment the calendar OF
the House was bare. With the excep-:
ton Of a very! few; all the bills were
killed. There was practically no local
or private Legislation. When was the
time that such a record was made by
any other Stated In the Union? It may
be assumed that there were not many
orators in the New Hampshire legls-
lature, or; II there we're, some plan
must have been devised for muzzling
them. K, -
These measures were passed !: "A law

establish q tax commission with power
