member Of the Senate; and that in
days before the Senate was called
upon to he sort Of second House,
the accomplished vision Of the muck
rakers, before its popularizing and
Naturalization. He knew business.
He knew the business Of the Govern.
ment. He believed thoroughly in the
high protective tariff. and he helped
make one. A "robber" tariff. no doubt.
which too many Of us in these blessed
times Of CONSTITUTIONAL tariff are
disposed to regret.
A legend grew up, invented and be-
leved in by those drunkards Of speech
who inebriated cheap magazines and
the country. Mr.. ALDRIcH was quite
the wickedest. most dangerous tool
Of the trusts" and plutocracy. slave
Of the interests" The most I'M
popular man. perhaps. in public life,
he never bothered his head over the
saffron myths. He did his work; and
some of ii usefully survives-the
emergency currency act. for instance
For the reform of the currency and
banking system he did much more
than the popular -inheritors of his
labors acknowledge. The creation of
TIE National Monetary Commits ion
was largely due to his long activities
In behalf Of such a body: and the
sound tinancial ideas which his place
IN popular diabology kept from the
statute book were garnered by the
good who came after him. A con.
structive statesman. some Of whose
constructions were torn down, while
others. unfinished. became the glory
of more fortunate architects.
Mr.. ALDRIcH left public life Of his
own motion. He saw the state OF
public feeling and the ravages OF vir-
tue in the Senate. In the age Of rhet-
oric and service" he was out Of
place.
Time, which blows away 80 much
mum Of illusion, has done something
for this old fashioned Senator and
Republican. His sincerity and hon
esty will not be questioned To what
ever OF error or excess there may have
been in his application OF the pro-
lection doctrine the country Is per.
haps kinder than 1t was. His per
sistent intelligent devotion to banking
and currency reform-for he was a
reformer, this impenitent reactionary
assure him the respect OF those
whose opinion Is informed. And he
dies at time when business men
are daring to lift their heads again.
after a long discipline Of govern
mental bludgeoning. This business
man in politics seems a different fig
are from the curious distortions Of
him in politico-soclologica fiction.

Germ. These thunderers Of Tcoley

oppose the candidacy Of any man who
voted against the Webb Kenyon in.
terstate liquor shipment law or voted
against the resolution to submit the
national prohibition amendment to the
States. or who advocated only the
States rights policy OF dealing with
the liquor traffic." Thus IL Mr.. WILL

What are the united prohibitions at
forces OF the country and what are
they united on. and who are they any
way? In North Carolina the Pro-
hibiuonists are united on allowing the
victims Of State prohibition half a

GERMAN IMPORTS.
The Steamship Companies Refuse 10
Accept Goods Of German OriGin.

| To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir. In
THE Sun OF April II Is very mislead-
ing article In regard 10 the shipments.
We have written you before that only
small attention has been given this very
important subject, and we do not think
| for one moment that II Is intentional on
your part to duck" this issue. but the
article shows a lack Of knowledge OF the
conditions.
The letter which has been sent out
and which you refer to has no sig
nificance because Of the fact that the
British Order in Council allowed goods
to be shipped which were paid for be-
fore March I. II Ia also true that or
binary business does not permit i'm
porters to pay for goods before they are
shipped. and 90 per cent. OF goods
shipped are paid for at least thirty days
after shipment. Therefore when the
British Order In Council came out there
were no goods which could be paid for.
for which the invoices could reach the
importers IN this country In time. and
the amount Of goods which were paid
for before March was 40 small that
II was OF no consequence. Besides
this. the Holland-America Line and
Scandinavia n American Line took such
goods and have always been willing to
accept such goods for transpor,ation
without any assistance from the Gov
eminent. and the statement that the
Government is aiding importers IL en-
tirely misleading. We are vitality In
terested In this matter. and being one
OF the largest importers in our business
are obliged TO watch tho matter very
closely.
Our letters 10 the Secretary OF State
asking for Information on the subject
have been answered only In the most
stereotyped manner. simply advising us
what We already know. that the block

bassador save and sending q copy Of
the British Order in Council.
We are aware that one OF the larE-
est firms In tho import business In New
York only had eighteen cases OF goods
In Germany. paid for. on March 1.
II is a matter OF sincere regret 10 us
that Great Britain should be able TO die
tate to citizens of this country as to
what time they shall pay for their
goods In order to get them, or that they
shall dictate 70 us whether we shall buy
them at all or not.
The foundation OF the trouble In the
fact that the steamship companies have
refused to accept for shipment goods OF
German origin. having been told that II
these good. were carried In their ves-

But practical. clever and resourceful
as General HuERTA is. any movement
to reinstate him would not promise
an early and enduring solution OF

nized that rancorously as the Con-

The Drug Habit Victims.

The reported appeal OF habitual
drug users for public help in their
extremity bears testimony to the eff
cheney Of the Harrison bill. which has
been so carefully drawn that the
shrewdest drug ficnd is pre'luded from
continuing the miserable habit. How
to relieve the distress OF these un.
happy creatures Is problem not for
charitable persons only. hut for the
city authorities, whose duty II IL to
provide shelter and medical attend
ance for the sick poor.
The plan Of Mr.. COULTER and Mr..
BoNp Of the Vanderbilt committee.
the initial success Of which was an.
nounced in THE SUN. is commenda Bile
and may well he emulated by the DE-
partment Of Charities without delay.
The sum appropriated by the Finance
Committee Of the Boa rd OF Aldermen,
$1,000, IL trivial in the presence Of
this menace to the unfortunates who
now are forced TO abandon their eff.
cheney destroying habits and who are
entitled to all the assistance the gov
eminent can afford to restore them to
usefulness. The city has large
farm on Staten Island which may he
utilized for this purpose until other
larger farms in some rural locality
may he organized under kindly but
efficient management, to which those
who have been discharged cured or
improved from Bellevue and other
hospitals may he sent for final relea se
from the curse OF drugs.
Money expended for this purpose
will be returned a thouSndfold to
the city treasury in the physical and
mental betterment Of the toilers, who
have often unconsciously become VIC
tins Of cocaine or morphine.
Many Of these hapless victims have
become drug habitues by continuing
careless medical advice: others have
been led to Indulgence by unscrupu.
lous companions. many have become
criminals under the pervcrting influ-
ence Of drugs: all are suffering from
a depreciation OF the nervous system.
They are entitled to the sympathy of
their fellows. which. however, must
not degenerate into dangerous scnti-
mentality. Physical restoration by
fresh air. exercise. plain. nutritious
food, and baths. are regarded by ply
sicians az the most efficient method
of restoring lost resisting capacity.
The farm colony plan devised by
the Vanderbilt committee comments
itself for these reasons and should be
Immediately adopted and expanded.
