financing will be undertaken abroad, and
1t is this feature of prospective financ-
ing which is now occasoning some doubt
If not apprehension. That, however, is
not due to the contemplated operation OF
the national banking system itself. 1t is
founded upon the anxiety lest the provi-
sions of the new income tax law may
lead to a great curtailment of the mar
kets abroad in which American securities
have heretofore been sold. These mar
kets are very large Shortly after the
beginning of President McKinleys first
administration, 1t was estimated By COM
petent authority that the United States
owed to Great Britain and to Europe ap-
proximately $1,000. 100000 which did not rep
resent international trade ansactions,
but the ownership of American securi-

prosperity We're conspicuous features
Great Britain's war with the Beers
about that time had caused a heavy SELL
ing of American securities, and that the
United States bought back and absorbed
without a tremor in the money market
about ND0000O.oo0 of these securities.
as estimated by the experts. Now what
is believed to be a good estimate Is made
of the security Indebtedness of the United
States in Great Britain and upon The con-
tinent of Europe as about $2.00O,0O0 Should
an effect of one provision of the income
tax law cause foreign holders of these
securities to be disposed to sell them the
United States would be compelled to ab-
sorb them. and that might lead to a
heavy expectation of gold. But in addi-
tion to that it may be found impractical
BILE to secure fresh money capital in Eu-
rope. at least through the purchase of
American securities. A common esti-
100000 or fresh capital comes from Lon
don and the continent to the United
States every year. Were feeling Of ap-
prehension to prevail In Europe there
would be great difficulty in securing by
underwriting syndicates, or in any other
way fresh capital. Some Of the bankers
of this city find themselves wondering
whether there may not be found expla-
nation for the sudden departure of Presi-
dent Vanderlip of the National City bank
to Europe a few days ago in this unquiet
feeling in Europe. For 1t is possible that
ARRANGEMENTS may be made by which
American branch banks in London and
upon the continent or European banks
may be able to certify to the fact that
they know Of American bonds which are
held by foreign owners In London and in
Europe. Very likely an arrangement Of
this kind will be made and It Is not un-
reasonable to infer that this In part ex-
pIains the conferences which Mr.. Van
derlip and his chief. James Stillman. have
heen holding In Paris.

have occurred in several cities and in
Florence a striker lies dead. while the
list of wounded grows daily. In Rome
attempts on the part of agtators to

and fighting in the streets has been of
daily occurrence this week Street car
and cab service is virtually suspended
there and in some other cities Taken
altogether Italy is in an unfortunate sit
uatIon, the result of recent develop
ment of socialism. manifesting itself in
much the same manner as in some parts
of this country. II is possible that before
the present disturbance is quieted Italy
may suffer a tragedy comparable with
that enacted in Colorado where strikers
have defed the law and precipitated a

ployment Of troops If so, perhaps the

The President and the Stump.

II is turning out as The Star Suggested
some weeks ago. The mention of the
Presidents name in connection with a
stumping tour is developing a general
desire to hear him. Democratic candi-
dates in many states would be glad of
his aid In all debatable territory his
presence is requested. East. west. and in
the middle states calcula tons are circu-
lating TO the value in votes of one
blast of his bugle horn. Iowa, Kansas.
Ohio. Illinois, Indiana. Pennsylvania and
New York are hoping to be remembered.
MIR. Wilson is not a stumper after the
order of Mr. Bryan or Mr.. Roosevelt.
He lacks the smooth and fluent delivery
Of the one. and the magnetic hurrah of
the other. Manipulating a crowd is dis
tinct gift-maybe not one of the highest
gifts. but certainly very valuable one in
politics. The man who can go out in a
campaign and bring home the bacon
has claims to great consideration in party
circles.
But Mr.. Wilson is good speaker. and
has done effective work on the stump.
AS candidate for Governor of New Jersey

him, while the appearances ne made as

andidate for President undoubtedly

helped him.
This year the road of the average DEM
ocratic stumper will be a hard one to
travel. He will be heckled about many
things-the failure of tariff revision to
reduce the cost of living. or even to pro-
duce revenue enough to support the gov
eminent the enormous losses from bust
ness depression: the trifing with the Bal
timore platform: the Mexican matter.
the canal tolls matter: and other mat
tiers. Voters will be very curious. and
the orator who runs the gantlet of in
terruptions and comes out with whole
skin will be Northumberland rare.
Mr.. Wilson by virtue of his office will
be immune from this If he takes the
stump. He will be able to tell his story
in his own way without banter from the
crowd. And, as rule. that helps. Few,
even among the greatest orators. emerge
from an engagement with Tom. Dick and
Harry in a public hail. with that doughty
trio primed for action. In a condition sat
isfactory TO themselves or their friends.
The majority are worsted in the encoun-
ter and regret the experience
Much depends on the length of the con-
gressional session. If adjournment does
not take place until September or October.
Mr.. Wilson will not be able to leave
Washington on an itinerary of any
length. When the pupils are kept in
the master must remain with them. And
just now, 1t may be mentioned. the
pupils on Capitol Hill are watching the
clock. anxious for the hour of four to
strike. and wondering from study of the
masters face what his humor may be.
