We would gently remind the Evening Star
that it is dangerous to try to bar out of politics
any great industry. 1t might get beyond the con-
troll of even the Star and prevent another such
campaign as that for free print paper. Suppose
Congress should agair propose to increase the
rate of second-class postage to wipe out the
postofice deficit would the Evening Star advise
the publishers to keep hands of, or again descend
on Washington to protest: In dealing with con-

BY DIR. T.. j. EDWARDS.
The Authors of the National Banking
system.

Written Expressly for The Washington Herald.
1 once asked John Sherman, at tho
| time when he had returned to the
| Senate after his service as Secretary
| Of the Treasury in President Hayes
Cabinet. who was the real author Of
the law which authorized the issuing
of greenbacks with the legal-tender
/ quality in them which forced them in
to circulation and also of the national
| currency act which is commonly
known as the act establishing the ma
| tional banking system of the United
| States. in Lincolns administration.
mo one man was the author of this
| Legislation. although Mr.. Spaulding,
who represented one of the Buffalo
/ districts in Congress, is called the
| father of the national banking law"
| Mr.. Sherman replied.
| The Senator seemed to think that I
| should be content with a statement
| that no one man was the author OF
these laws. At the time Congress was
| sitting in extraordinary session. hav-
ing been summoned by President
Cleveland, in the summer of 1898, for
the purpose of repeating the so-called
Sherman silver law. I happened to say
to the late Frederick d. Tappan, who
at that time was president of the Ma
tional Bank of New York and also
chairman of the Clearing House Asso-
citation. that l had heard that Senator
Sherman sometimes said that his name
was not properly associated with that
law.
That's exactly what happened with
Mr.. Spaulding, OF Buffalo," Mr.. TappaD
replied You know, of course, that he
has been called the father of our ma
tional banking act and of our legal
tender or greenback law. But he was
not nor was any one man the author
of these laws. Why, Orlando b. Pot
ter, who afterward represented a dis
trict Of New York in Congress, went
to Washington with a well worked
out plan for a national banking sys-
tenn which in many respects was SINH
lar to the plan which was afterward
accepted. Mr.. Spaulding. also. had
very valuable ideas respecting the or
ganization of the national banking
system, but Salmon T. Chase, who was
then Secretary of the Treasury, had
also worked out a plan Of this kind.
Tho fact was that the emergency
which existed at the time influenced
number Of able men TO study the
situation and then to suggest plans or
systems by which the emergency could
be relieved.
What Mr.. Spaulding did was pre-
cisely what John Sherman did in con-
nection with both Of these laws which
bear his name Spaulding was re-
quested by Secretary Chase to prepare
a measure bearing out the plans which |
the secretary had formulated. He did |
this. being abundantly qualified to do |
1t. and that was the reason why he |
was called the father of the national !
system. He wrote the bill \
which was afterward enacted as a law !
by Congress.
BY the way. I have been told that 1
President Lincoln became very fond /
Of Mr.. Spaulding and called him fire.

Secretary Redheld is urging rigid enforcement
of the present regulations for the protection of
shad and herring in Chesapeake Bay and its tribu-
taries. "Thc situation is SUCH" he says that the
great shad fishery of Chesapeake Bay, on which
thousands depend for their livelihood and tens of
thousands for their food supply, is seriously
threatened" There is no doubt that the present
regulations inadequate for the protection of
shad in waters. Representative Linthicum, of
Maryland, a number of occasions has earnestly
advocated the enactment OF stringent law to
safeguard this important fish supply. His efforts
should receive the support OF commercial. organ
izations of Maryland, Virginia and the District of
Columbia, with view to obtaining action at the
next session of Congress. The determination of
so valuable food fish as the shad would be
calamity.

quently in consultation. Lincoln con-
fessed that he himself had no head
for finance and that he was compelled
to rely upon others who did under
stand the subject He was persuaded
that no man ever understood the sub
ject better than did Mr.. Spaulding
and he seriously contemplated calling
MIR. Spaulding to his Cabinet as the
successor of Chase. who had resigned
as Secretary of the Treasury. Lincoln
was an old-fashioned politician in
some respects and he was persuaded
that 1t was not politically advisable
to have several men from the same
State in his Cabinet, and as Seward, q
New York man was Secretary of State,
the President for that reason decided
to appoint Senator Fessenden, Of
