WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE

Mexico City had announced that
he could give no guarantee for
the protection Of John Lind, the
presidents special emissary, in

Mr.. cRUMP'S LATEST.

Mayor Crump, the boss CT Shelby
county, is reolly an amusing cuss.
He takes himself 50 seriously. He
loves the limelight of publicity and
has as greau a penchant for inter
views as our own governor. In his
latest ne declares that the fusion
members o. the legislature left Nash
vile because they would not agree
that the regular" democrats should
have fair representation on the elect
ion boards. One, not knowing the
facts, would imagine from this that
Mr.. Crump had been one of the orr
ginal regulars, that his sole mission
in life mad ben to get fair repre-
sentation" NJ the regular democrats.
But it is Of record that during the
first half of the legislative session
the Mayor and his puppets affiliated
altogether with the enemies of the
regular" democrats and made no ef-
fort whatever to change the election
laws. On the contrary Mayor Crump
has repeatedly stated that he enter
ed into solemn agreement with the
fusion leaders to leave the election
laws and election control unchanged.
And in This very latest interview to
which we refer he berates Gov.
Hooper because the latter did not
keep that agreement.
The facts arc that Mayor Crump's
zeal for fair representation for the
regulars dates from the deal thar he
entered into with the back tax graft
ers whereby he latter were to be
protected in return for protection for
the lawless liquor interests of Mem
phis.
The Memphis boss is a likeable
sort of fellow. He is an adroit
and smooth politician who never al.

nor small matter like principle to
stand between him and the practical
things that he Is after. But the

POTATO PRICES.

The recent slump in the price of
old Irish Potatoes is without prece-
dent Potatoes selling at less than
twenty cents a bushel in Chicago is
an event never before known. 1t is
bringing down the high cost of liv-
ing with a vengeance. 1t meant a
big loss to those who had stored po-
tatoes and were holding them for the
spring market. Perhaps, however,
the storage proposition had been
overdone. Dealers being unwilling to
part with potatoes at fair margin of
profit, held them too long. The
new crop forced market
ing now and the decline was the re-
suit. Potatoes are of course too
cheap at twenty cents bushel. They
cannot be grown at that price so that
no one need expect that value to con-
tinue. However, there has undoubt-
eddy been too great difference be-
tween the price which the farmers re-
ceived for potatoes and the price
that they have cost the consumers.
This has been due to excessive mid
die mems profits and to the tendency
to create an artificial scarcity in Or
der to make unjustifiably large prof

BlMErALlSM AGAIN

For the first time since 1895, with
the exception of brief period in
1907, this whole world is suffering
from credit strain. There is appar-
emily not sufficient capital to digest
the enormous mass of securities that
are being thrown upon the markets.
Credit is suffering under an enor-
nous load The inevitable result is
dear money" In some places the
rate of interest and of exchange are
higher than in 1907 The money of
the country is seemingly insufficient to
finance the enterprises that are Offer
ing securities for sale. The price OF
all sorts of bonds and stocks has de-
clined. The best securities upon the
market have felt the effect of the
strain. With money worth five and
six per cent there must inevitably be
a decline in three and four per cent
securities.
The Tightening of credit and the
scarcity of capital has revived the
discussion of bi-metalism. 1t is con-
tended by high authority in financial
circles that the extension of the sim
gle gold standard to the nations OF
the orient, where it is fixed habit of
the people to horde money and with
draw it from circulation, has been at
least partially responsible for the
present stringency. This is doubtless
true Although defeated in 1896 up
on the free silver or double STANDARD
issue, subsequent events have proven
the correctness of the democratic par
tvs quantitive theory of money.
Events that no one could foresee at
that time solved the money problem
for fifteen years. Gold became abun-
dant and cheap and there was suf1-
cient to supply the enormous strain
upon credit But with the increase
of the demands of trade and COM
merce and industry, the war load that
all European nations are struggling
under, the withdrawal for purposes or
hording gold to the nations of the
Orient, the single standard Of value
is once more suffering strain that is
causing thoughtful students to revive
the discussion of the double STAND
ard.
1t would be remarkable but strang- |
er things have happened, if this coun-
try should after all return to its an
cient policy Of bi-metalism 1t would !
be stranger still, but it might happen,
If William Jennings Bryan, elected |
president in 1916, should put the poll
cy once more into effect.
