THE MONEY MARKET.

1.-TWO months ago. one of Iowa's
most successful manufacturers said
the other day, II was losing sleep
wondering where l was going to get
money enough to meet my bills and
my $11, 900 weekly pay roll.
Now hardly a day passes but
some banker calls me to the phone
to offer all the money 1 want at AZ
per cent" A local banker last week
was asked to take Minneapolis ware
house receipts at 3.75. He took them
at four. Chicago brokers are offer
ing only per cent for the best pa
per.
The Iowa manufacturer, who has
made a close study of it, attributes
the changed situation to the currency
bill. 1T has," he said, literally freed
business by opening up the channels
of money. It is one of the greatest
boons that ever blessed the country"

THE PANAMA FIGHT AT WASH
INGTON,

Those newspapers which express
grieved surprise because the coast
wise shipping trust lobby is back in
Washington, fighting for free passage
Of it's ships through the Panama ca
nal, are showing a childlike lnno-
cence rather rare in this sophistlcat-
ed age.
OF course the lobby is busy. The
exemption of coastwise shipping from
paying tolls at Panama would be
worth 100000 a year to the trust,
right at the start, and doubtless
many times that sum later on. This
is a stable graft in itself, a loot
we'll worth fighting for; yet it is by
no means the only interest the trust
has at stake.
The provision of free passage for
the coastwise shipping trust is mere
ly yelled subsidy. After many years
of hard work, those interests which
cry for the privilege of restoring the
American merchant marine at the ex-
pense of Uncle Sans treasury saw
their schemes written into the stat
ute books of the nation. With the ex-
emption clause in working order,
and trust ships getting free use OF
ditch for which the American people
have paid 1915, 100000, the next
step would have been to call for
cash subsidy, and point to Panama as
an example of subsidies in practice.
President Wilson's demand for the
repeal of this exemption clause
wrecks the plans Of subsidy seekers,
and threatens to throw the lobby out
of job. What trust cares to wave
the flag and make the eagle scream
unless there is money in it? What
is the use of working confidence
game on congress if a quiet gentle
man in the White House persists in
proving that the gold brick is moth
ing but brass?
If the president has his will in this
matter of Panama tolls, only the
bourbon guard which forgets nothing
will have courage to 60 up against
the buzz saw again. He must be
stopped here in his raid on special
privileges, or he can not be stopped
at ALL The shipping trust is fighting
for it's loot, the lobby is fighting for
it's job--and both are doomed to de-
feat
The Panama canal act will be
amended till it squares with the
treaty obligations of this nation, the
convictions of the American people,
and the time honored principles of the
democratic party. The yelled sub
sidy granted to an insOlent and over
fed monopoly must and will be re-
pealed.-ChicagO Journal.

THE FIRST QUARTER.

A crushing blow has fallen upon
the prophets of disaster who have for
a generation been predicting whole
sale ruin if the republican party was
driven from power in the nation And
yet a year has passed since the eXecu-
tive, the senate and the house at
Washington-all three-b e m e
democratic. The president has been
in a position to recommend what he
would and he has had senate and
house ready to cooperate with him.
All Of the departments of the federal
government are administered by
democrats. The affairs of the nation,
foreign and domestic, are in the
hands of those who believe in the
democracy of Jefferson and Jackson,
and the country not only lives but
prospers. There has been no panic,
there have been no wars abroad and
no disturbances at home. Could
REPUTATION of republican fears and
realization Of democratic hopes be
more complete?
The democratic party is not only
victorious but harmonious, while the
republican party is still separated in
two warning factions, each blaming
the other for the party defeat.
The president enters upon his sec
ond year with record of achieve
ments of which the party may we'll be
proud and with more widespread APP
proval of his acts than any other
president has enjoyed in recent years.
1t will be a long while before any
political opponent will again have
the audacity to question the intelli-
gence and the ability or the charac-
ter of democratic leadership.
Not only the national government
but the states as we'll have imbibed
the progressive spirit and the people
and their democratic governors and
democratic legislatures are reform
ing abuses that had grown up under
republican rule and adopting meas
ures and methods that make the
several governments still more re-
sponsible to the will of the people.
The first quarter is past and all is
we'll.
w. J. BRYAN.
