LEssENING WHEAT EXPORTS.

1t is matter OF general knowledge
that the exports Of wheat from the
United States have almost fallen TO a
negligible quantity. The returns Of
England S imports of wheat for 1911
show that the largest import of this
grain was from India, the next largest
from Russia. the third from Argentina,
the fourth from Canada, the fifth from
Australia, the sixth from the United
States. But fourteen years before, the
United States sent twice as much wheat
to England as any other country, and
eight times rs much as any other
country except Russia
\ marvellous change is here indeed,
the United states falling from the ire
meudous lead that 1t had fourteen wears
ago to the sixth place in England s i'm

to produce this result: first, the largely

KNOX IN NICARAGUA.

Reports from Nicaragua show that
the visit Of Secretary Knox TO Managua
has stirred up good deal Of tribuIa~
ton. An extraordinary orthurst of
anti.American feeling was manifested,
and fifty of the ringleaders of the dis
contepted were put under arrest and
were held during Mn Knox 8 presence
in the capital city Tho virulence APP
pears to have been chiefly directed from
the newspaper offices which represent
factions that desired TO play upon the
bad feeling created on the Pacific SIDE
OF the range of mountains against Sec
rotary Knox for his espousal of Estra-
da's cause in his revolution OF some
three years ago. That revolution was
never popular on the west side Of the
range. but carried everything before
it on the cast side. And so, perhaps,
the exhibition of resentment on the
part of those who opposed Estrada was
10 have been expected.
But the officialdom Of the country
was cordial towards Secretary Knox,
and the masses Of the people on the
streets were also friendly. Dressed in
their holiday attire, the people made
a festaI day Of Secretary Knox s visit,
and all went well. The disaffected ap-
pear, as a matter Of fact, to have been
few in number comparatively, but they
endeavored 20 make up in strenuous
disapproval their lack OF numbers
Nicaragua, however, has good reason
TO feel friendly towards the United
States, and, as we have explained here
tofore, American capitalists stand ready

ably good things for Nicaragua on the
understanding Of friendship and CO.

treaty and negotiations. Those who op-

bonds or securities approved by the
u. 5. Comptroller Of the Currency. 1t
is a curious tumble indeed. and not IN
the least likely to commend itself TO
the favorable attention Of Congress.
There is altogether too much already
of the admiXturc Of National and
State authority in various forms, such
as railroad rate legislation, corporation
taxation, and the like; but this pro
posed State bank currency proposition
would add an element of absolute dan
ger to our currency through making the
note issues Of State banks far easier
than note issues OF the National banks.
Here is an element Of discrimination
and of peril.
But VIC do not agree with the E1nan-
cier that it wonld be likely to dis
turb business conditions by the issue
of too much currency, The chief trou
bic with us as n rule is. in a time OF
pinch, that we don Z have any cnr'
rency ut all: it is all locked up. The
primo need is law providing that any
National bank can get emergency cur
rCDCN from tnc treasury on the uc-
post of approved securities, instantly
and To any amount its approved secur-
ity deposits may cover. and forbiddlng
the locking up Of currency and tho is-
sue Of clearance association or cash
Icrs checks To pass as money. The
banks in New York could, at any time,
furnish ample security for the obtain
ing from the treasury of the $500,000,-
600 of emergency currency already pre-
pared for issue in time Of need, and
all that is required is a law to connect
the banks with that emergency cur
rency and let it flow whenever any OF
the rascally Spectators in New York
undertake to get up n panic. That,
and law forbidding the locking up of
currency and the use Of cashiers
checks, would stop at once any ordi"
nary panic But the proposal to allow
State banks TO issue currency is dan
gerous. Such currency has always been
a curse heretofore, and would likely
be so to the end Of time.
