LEADS BANKING AND
 MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
ction on Measure for Elastic Money System .ioR Act to Administration Tariff Plan.

l prise? What will it profit us to be quit of one kind of monopoly if we are to remain in the grip of another and more effective kind? What shall we say if we make fresh enterprise | necessary and also make it very diff tlcult by leaving all else except the tariff just as We found it? The tyran- nies of business, big and little, lie within the field of credit. We know that. Shall we not act upon the knowledge? Do we not know how to act upon it? If a man can not make his assets available at pleasure, his
 assets of capacity and character and resource, what satisfaction is it to him to see opportunity beckoning to him on every hand, when others have the keys of credit in their pockets and treat them as all but their own pri- vate possession? It is perfectly clear that it is our duty to supply the new banking and currency system the country needs, and that it will imme- diately need it more than ever.
 The only question is, when shall we supply it-now, or later, after the de- nlands shall have become reproaches that we were so dull and so slow? Shall we hasten to change the tariff laws and then be laggards about mak- ing it possible and easy for the coun- try to take advantage of the change? There can be only one answer to that 0t at 1Iyl1o fl. ever sacrifice to ourselves. It is duty which the circumstances forbid us to postpone. l should be recreant to my deepest convictions of public obligation did I not press it upon you with solemn and urgent insstence.
 The principles upon which we should act are also clear. The coun- try has sought and seen it's path in this matter within the last few years Sees it more clearly now than it ever saw it before-much more clear ly than when the last legislative pro- posals on the subject were made. We must have a currency, not rigid as now, but readily, elastically respons- i've to sound credit, the expanding and contracting credits of everyday trans actions, the normal ebb and flow of personal and corporate dealings. Our banking laws must mobilize reserves; must not permit the concentration anywhere 4n few hands of the none tary resou1f fes of the country for their use for speculative purposes in such volume as lto hinder or impede or stand in thf way of other more legiti- mate, mert fruitful uses.

QUICKSILVER BAD ON TEETH
Fumes of Mercury Produce Salvation and Miners Seldom Live More
 Than Two Years.

Quicksilver miners follow the most unhealthy trade in the world. The fumes of the mercury produce con stant salvation, and the system be- comes permeated with the metal the teeth of the unfortunate men drop out they lose their appetite, become ema, ciated and, as rule, seldom live long CT than two years.
 Chloride of lime, employed by bleachers, frequently destroys the enamel and dentine of the teeth. But phosphorus, used so largely in the manufacture of lucifer matches, af- fleets very large number of persons women, girls and children greatly pre- ponderating.
 People who work in soda factories are affected by the teeth becoming soft and translucent; they break off close to the gums.
 Dr. Hesse of Leipsic states that ba- kers are likely to suffer from decayed teeth on account of the flour entering the mouth during work collecting on and around the teeth, where it decom- ppses and generates an acid destruc- tive to dentine.

"Cuss" IF 1t Helps.

The use of profanity, if it imparts a feeling of satisfaction, is not con- demned by learned professor of Eng fish, H. c. Long, of the Carnegie h. stitute of Technology.
 This form of expression is artistic according to the professor, who sub stantiates his ideas by pointing to the reputation of George Washington, who he says, was an artist in profanity.
 Prof Long is quoted by the Tartan the Carnegie tech paper, as follows
 '.To become profane on trivial oc- easions is surely to deprive this rem edy for human ills of it's virtue by de- grading to inferior use. Washington s reputation as a perfect and secure ar tist in the profane was gained on two or three occasions only, when he felt the frenzy of great provocation.''

 Mir. Speaker. MT. President, Gentle

 It is under the compulsion of what seems to me a clear and imperative duty that l have a second time this session sought the privilege e ad- dressing you in person. l know, of course, that the heated season of the year is upon us, that work in these fhambers and in the committee rooms <S likely to become a burden as the season lengthens, and that every con- sideration of personal convenience and personal comfort, perhaps, in the cases of some of us, considerations Of personal health even, dictate an early conclusion of the deliberations of the session; but there are occasions of public duty when these things which touch us privately seem very small; when the work to be done is so press ing and so fraught with big conse- Quence that we know that We are not at liberty to weigh against it any point of personal sacrifice. We are now in the presence of such an occa- sion. It is absolutely imperative that We should give the business men of this country banking and currency system by means of which they can make use of the freedom of enterprise and of individual initiative which we are about to bestow upon them.
 We are about to set them free; we must not leave them without the tools of action when they are free We are abogt to set them free by removing 4 trammels of the protective tariff Ever since the civil war they have Gted for this emancipation and for free opportunities it will bring h it.
