Amazing and Incredible.

Amazing statements are appearing in some OF
the newspapers to the effect that there is dissen
sion in the Cabinet because the Attorney General
refuses to publicly substantiate the assertion of
Comptroller of the Currency John Shelton Will
liams that Louis D. Brandeis had been engaged
by the Department of Justice to consider the pros
ccution of the Riggs National Bank "some weeks"
before the Bank filed its suit against Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo and the comptroller. 1t
will be recalled that the day after the suit was
filed, following the comptroller's statement that
the Department of Justice engaged the services
of Louis D. Brandeis weeks ago special
counsel in the case" Attorney General Gregory
officially announced: up to the filing of the suit
on yesterday, the Department of Justice had not
had before it for official consideration the con-
troversies between the Treasury Department and
the Riggs National Bank" 1t is represented
that strained relations exist between Secretary
McAdoo, Comptroller Williams and Mr.. Brandeis
on one side and Attorney General Gregory on the
other because the latter declines to modify his
statement so as to make it more nearly conform to
that of the comptroller. That situation exists
such as the newspapers describe is incredible. If
it does the people of the country would doubtless
prefer that should continue to exist rather than
that the highest legal official OF the government
should relieve it by the course suggested.

The Disease and the Cure.

Aldrch is dead but Aldrchism is forgotten.
The work OF the will live long, the silly
abuse of him died with the subsistence of the
hysteria of insurgency while he enjoying
health and could his opponents adopting and
appropriating without credit, the results of his
labor for monetary reform. Aldrich did not COM
plain of either the abuse the appropriation OF
his work. He too much of philosopher to
be irritated by abuse ingratitude. He
did his work for the country not for the applause
OF the people
Aldrichism and Cannonism were twin COLLINS
of hystera, but not terrible to the ignorant
and supcrstitious, than Rccdism, Grantism
and Lincolnism which preceded them. With the
exception of Lincoln, these men all lived to see
their vindication worked out by their most
violent opponents. Lincoln lived to see the end
of the war; his vindication did not come until
after his martyrdom, and then it came in canon
ization in the hearts of the people, not only OF
this country but of the civilized world.
Physicians and philosophers have tried to ex-
plain these hysterical attacks which sweep over
the country like epidemic, but they have not
found remedy and the cure has come in harmony
with the old saying that the hair of the dog will
cure the bite. A celebrated neurologist in Berlin
has joined the army because his large practice
has vanished. The nervous women of the Ger
man capital too busy taking care of the
wounded, the widowed and the orphaned, to have
nerves to be treated by specialist. Luxury pro-
duced the disease and work cured it.
Here We had phenomenal prosperity when
Aldrich and Cannon were accused of running the
government and trying to mango the whole people.
large part of the people had time to read and
talk and kick because their prosperity was not
greater. The muckraker saw his opportunity and
furnished the germ of discomfort Aldrieh having
done his work, retired; Cannon was defeated, the
Republican party divided and the Democrats came
into control with enough excess reform baggage to
swamp any party.
Whether from this or other causes. as indus.

triously explained by Secretary Red6eld, the pros
perity of the days of AIdrichism and Cannonism

business with alternating emotions of hope and
despair. Other still idle with time to
read but without the disposition the price of a
yellow magazine. The muckraker has gone like the
mosquito from the swamp that has been drained
or has dried up in a long season of drought. The

These tables mean, being interpreted, that the
war in Europe has caused an increase of our ex-
ports of particular commodities, chiefly in those
incident to belligerent operations; but that the
war has brought about subsistence in our gen.
eral export trade Since the statistics were gather
| ed from which these tables drawn, there has
various other articles.
The inference from this seems reasonable that
after the is ended our foreign shipments Of
firearms, explosives etc, will fall off but that our
exports of breadstuffs will be almost as large as
they were during the because it will be fully
a year after the cessation of hosttics before
agricultural industry in Europe can once more
proceed at its normal rate. Also, after the war
| an immense general replenishment of business
and industrial supplies will necessarily be in force
all over Europe. The demands which will be ad-
dressed to for materials required for all re-
construction purposes will be enormous; and
whereas comparative table of exports now shows
a decrease in most lines from those of the pre-
vious year. table for the year following the close
of the war will probably show large increases. In
other words, Our foreign trade after the will
be, beyond any question, greater than it has been
in the last seven months. and our balance of trade
in this period will in all likelihood be as large as
it is at the present moment.
There is another probability to which we have
before alluded briefly, and that is that consider
able time must elapse after the war; several years
at least before European industries will be as well
equipped to compete with the industries of our
own country for the sale in own country Of
goods and general articles OF manufacture as they
were before the broke out. The war will not
only leave Europe financially PROSTATE but will
leave her entire business and commercial status as
fiat a pancake. Germanys commerce has even
now been absolutely driven from the seas Labor
will be in scant supply all over Europe, and even
such labor there is will be 50 per cent less
effective than it formerly was. Before the war the
doorstep of every large buyer of goods in the
United States covered with the waiting agents
OF German firms, who were there anxious to place
orders for goods at prices below that at which
American producers could compete. 1t will be
some years before there is any danger that they
will be there again. and long before that time the
tariff in the United States will be so adjusted in
the light of the disastrous Underwood experiment,
that the menace of European competition, of
at least the kind of competition that threat
ened in the carly part of last year and the year
before, will be removed
