yielded up our gold and silver. We
wanted to sell the bonds as rapidly
as possible We found speedily that
there wasn't any market for the bonds
unless we were willing to receive
State bank notes in payment for
them. We thought when we bought
the bonds that we could sell them to
people n few at time, so to speak,
and In that way get our coin back.
But the people were not willing to
part with their gold and silver. They
were ready enough to buy the bonds
In case they could pay for them in
State bank notes, which were the only
paper currency at that time in circu-
lation excepting a few millions of

Chase had issued.
well, what were we to do? We had
a hundred and fifty millions of bonds
on our hands, behind which stood the
credit of the United States govern
ment, which, at that time, was not
very high. We New York bankers
met many times to discuss the situa-
ton. We knew that boarding of gold
and silver had begun and we were
well aware that If we paid coin over
our counters we were not likely to
get 1T back again. Therefore the
proposition was made that the New
York banks should suspend specie
payments. The Clearing House AS

This seems to be striking blow ct
the very essence of freedom and lib

more or less noted throughout the
world. By the aid Of suspenlers this
country has accomplished i great
deal All the great buildings, all the
immense bridges and all the public
works have been erected ov men who
wore suspenders. Without the sus-
penders what could they have ;,ccon-
plished? Echo answers: "What?"
If those men had gone about hold

which to work would this country be

support of this nation for many,

less he wore reliable suspenders?
AS usual, the reformers offer no
substitute. They do not suggest
whether the coming race Of men shall
fasten their clothing on Nth nails,

seek to tear down great national in

involved in consideration of trusts.
Mr.. Brandeis, in announcing himself
as an uncompromising advocate of
the One-Price system, makes possible
the inference that the present is at
least sympathetically inclined in this

ORGANIZATION or corporation suspect
ed of being trust, and to terminate
any ascertained trust by certain
powers defined in one of the bills.
In the event of objection by any
trust that may be ordered dissolved,
the commission may, under the terms
of the bill, ask the courts to appoint
supervisors to work out gradual
plan to restore fair competitive con-
| ditions in the trade affected.
1t would be unreasonable to sup
pose that the progressive party is
entering upon this antitrust crusade
with any greater ardor than will
mark the attitude of the no less pro-
gressive democrats in this respect
1t is assumed that the majority party
is marking time pending a definite
understanding of the presidents plan
of action. That he will enter upon
this leg Of the presidential course
with the calm and irresistible preci-
sion of purpose and action that has
marked his success in preceding is
sues is beyond doubt His particular
angle Of vision upon various features
Of the trust situation is however, still
peculative.
Some New Issues,
At time when the form and, in
a measure, the substance of the an
ticipated administration bill are
doubtful, it is interesting to note
some of the newer and less hack
neyed issues that give extreme evil
dence of the stamp of the admins
tration's approval. 1t is understood, |
for instance, that the matter of retail |
suspected of being ind
restraint of trade will compel the |
closest scrutiny by the trainers of
he bill. In this regard 1T is held by y
observers here, there is striking sig
1ificance in the presidents pre-elec-I
ion speech at Philadelphia, in which
lie warned: Safeguard American
nen against unfair competition and
hey will take care of thems elves"
One-Price- To-AII.
A specific proposition upon which
he presidents is understood to have
IN open mind is the matter of legis-
alton designed to enable and COM
el the manufacturer of a standard, |
rademarked brand to specify the re-
all selling price and enforce it's OBJ
ervance. Existing legislation fails
ntirely to achieve this end and court
ecisions have made it unlawful to

of the sale of the Riker-Hereman
