Plea for Hiqher Freiaht Rates.

THE granting OF the petition Of the
Eastern railroads for a per cent freight
increase will do more for the prosperity
and development of the country than all
legislation against unlawful restraint and
monopolies. Such a determination will re-
suit in movement forward, not back
ward, and any contrary determination by
the Interstate Commerce Commission will
emphasize the fact that Washington hos
tiity is baking prosperity.
THE merchants of this country are
vitality interested. Business must not be
retarded, otherwise commercial failures
will increase. The continual senseless at
tacks by governmental bodies upon mer-
chants. by impending assaults upon rail-
road, industrial and mercantile corpora
tons, revision OF the tariff and currency
reform. have resulted in sinking business
to such an extent that 1t has thrown hun
dreds Of thousands out OF employment,
reduced wages and decreased values in
railroad industries and mercantile :Or-
porations 20 the extent OF at least $780,
10000.
THE most serious situation that con-
fronts the country to-day is the fact that
unemployment is growing more acute.
We need relief. We ask the Congress OF
the United States to halt before it is too
late. Postpone all anti-business legIsla-
ton. Give the country a rest, and last,
but not least. permit Congress to earn a
well deserved early rest"

PAUL M. WARBURG, FAMOUS
 FINANCIER, IS 46 TO-DAY

Paul M. warburg, the New York banker and fnancier who has been the storm center of a heated political controversy since his appointment last May, as 8. member of the United States Federal Reserve Board, is a native of Germany and will celebrate his forty-sixth birthday today. Al though a comparatively young man, MT. Warburg is one of the supreme powers of financial America, and, since the death of the elder J. Pierpont Morgan, he has often been described as Wall streets arbiter. Muckraking magazine writers go farther, and as- cribe to MT. Warburg such powers United States The editor of Pear sons Magazine recently expressed this view of MT. Warburg's activi-. ties:
 ..It is announced from Berlin that one of the most famous of the Ger man periodicals is about to send it's cleverest writer to Washington to I view the government and president or the United States.

 1 This socfalistic editor probably ov- l erestinnates MT. sWarburg's or1nipo- tence, for lately the eminent banker | ! papers have printed
 Like many other distinguished fin Ianciers, MT. Warburg has never sought publicity, and to have it thrust up- on him in such large quantities has rendered him somewhat peevish. .JJ1i fpublic knew little or nothing of the personality of the man wno IS credited with such vast powers.

 Germany, August 10, 1888. He was educated in his native land and grad I uated from the University of Ham burg at the age of eighteen. His l business career was commenced in the office of a commission firm in his native city, and at twenty he entered his fathers banking house.
 The firm of M. M. WarblIrg & | Company is one of the oldest and most 1 celebrated of German banking house8 l It was established in 179S by tlle great-grandfather of Paul M. War burg, and was continued by his sons ] and grandsons. Paul Warburg served but brief apprenticeship there, and then proceeded to England, where he spent & year studying London f1nan- cial methods and practices In 1891 | he carried on similar studies in France and then made a tour of the earth paying his first visit to the United States.
 Having completed his education MT. Warburg became a partner in the family banking house. and also served for time as member of the rnuni. cipaI council of his native city.
 It was in 1902 that Mr Warburs landed in New York and became partner in the great banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Company. He ha since become the most inf1uentia
