cal conditions. Recent events in bust
ness and banking have also impressed
hnanciers merchants and manufactur-
ers With tho danger which is involved
in further delay. a number of bank
crs have stated within the past few
months that they were placed under
almost as great strain by the crop
movement and trade revival OF the
present year as they experienced In
the panic of 1907. Merchants and manu-
facturers also realize that their un-
dertakinEs have been injuriously ar
fcc.cd by their inability to secure
credit because of our defective and
antiuuated laws IL the present ex-
pansion of trade aud industry con-
as large this year as last. no one can
foretell what may happen Our pros
perity may be our destruction.
Considerations of political expcdi-
ency arc not primarily the grounds
upon which TO urge the necessity for
legislation upon financial or other mat
tiers. but it is undoubtcdiy true that
no greater political disaster could be-
fan the incoming administration than
financial breakdown or IL panic. For
this practical political reason. there
fore, the Democratic leaders should
take precautions to prevent the posi-
bility OF any such catastrophe oc-
curing because of our antiouated
banking system. Moreover, from the
standpoint Of Legislative procedure.
banking legislation would not inter-
fere with the consideration of the
tariff. y bill could be considered bv
the House while the Senate was dis
cussinS the new tariff legislation. and.
likewise. the Senate could take action
upon this Important matter while
awaiting tho tariff legislation which,
by constitutional provision, must have
lis origin in the popular branch or
Congress. There is every reason for.
and none against, the enactment of
remedial banking legislation by tho
Forthcoming special session.

The rates then in Norce were pro-

urged on behalf Of the farmers thar a
rate OF onc-half cent ton per

In Virginia. This rate obtains in
Illinois where ground limestone is
