Too Much Money.

American banks have so much money that the
allies have been invited to borrow large gobs OF
gold and in the case of Great Britain the firm of
J. P. Morgan & Co., is reported to have formally
urged the London government to borrow while the
borrowing is good. The result is the $780, 900
loan just negotiated.
1t is to be expected that other European nations
will seize upon the advantage to replenish their
more or less depleted war chests. Also the neu-
trail nations of the Old World are in the mood for
borrowing or of establishing sizable credits.
This is particularly true of Norway, whose mari
time interests have obligated themselves to the
amount of several hundred millions through the
purchase and construction of freight bottoms in
this country for service under the Norwegian flag.
There is in this country delegation of Nor
wegians representing some of the most extensive
interests in Scandinavia, whose avowed purpose is
to arrange means for meeting these obliga-
,tions without disrupting conditions of exchange.
1t is not alone the banks which are over
burdened with cash. 1t seems that American cor
porations in general have extraordinary cash hold
ings, with the treasures of both ndustrials and
railroads brimful. An illustration of this condi-
ton is presented by the Santa Fe, which on June
80 had $44365,ooo cash on hand, or more than
double the amount it had that date in the two
preceding years.
serves being conserved especially by the larger
industrial concerns with an eye to meeting what
ever exigencies may be evolved when the war ends
The Commercial West for grave
apprehension in the situation, saying:
When directors of our largest corporations
have found it wise to make their companys
position mpregnable possible against
anything which might develop when the war
comes to end, isn't there a lesson to be
learned therefrom? Shouldn't the position of
our banks be kept strong and liquid as pos
sble? Shouldn't member banks strengthen the
Federal reserve system by deposit of cash not
needed in the ordinary of business?
Shouldn't Congress fegislate to give the
Federal Reserve Board greater power over the
gold now in this country? This subject is a
live one. Corporations are not wont to pile
up large holdings of cash without serious
purpose. Financial should study the sig
nifcance of this extraordinary situation.
Whatever need exists for safeguarding the
banking situation must be determined by the ex-
perts of course but while they are wrestling with
the problems presented, the ordinary citizen is
likely to blink rapidly at the statement that there
is a glut Of money, the while he watches the
steadily rising prices of things he and his family
must have.

If it had not been for the outbreak of the war

issue seriously discussed in the present Presi-
dental campaign. Between October 1913, and
August, 1914 the Underwood law had demonstrate
ed its inability to maintain prosperity in this coun-
try. But the possibilities for evil of the Underwood
law in the days before there in Europe
were nothing compared to the possibilities for
evil of such law under the conditions that will
prevail when peace has been restored on the other

pay much attention to the tariff on election day.

President Wilson raised the embargo on ship
ment of arms to Mexico. During the year 1914
there were shipped into Mexico, according to Gus
600 worth of firearms and 100000 worth of other
explosives. During the fiscal year of 1918. the
shipments were 100000 worth of American cart
ridges 2,4oo 600 pounds of dynamite, 10000 pounds
$II625o worth of other explosives. The bars are

President Wilson is busy these days in telling
how good the Adamson law is, how much it does
how thankful laboring men ought to be to him
and to the Democratic Congress for enacting it.
But if the Adamson law is good and does so
the President and the Democratic Congress didn't
get busy and it in the first place, instead of
waiting until the brotherhoods held pistols at their
heads and told them to stand and deliver? Doesn't
look as though the laborng men need be very
grateful does it.-Appleton Post.
The Washington herald., 1916-10-28

No better example is needed as showing the
hypocrisy of the Democratic party towards labor
than the very title of the Adamson bill This
measure as it passed the House and Senate is en-
titled IAN act to establish an eght-hour dav for
employees of carriers engaged in interstate or for
eign commerce, and for other purposes" The franz
ers and supporters of this act knew that they were
not justified in so labelling it. They knew that it
was designed to benefit but small portion of rail
road employees and the title was so worded as de-
hberately to deceive the public generally and the
workingman in particular.
Previous to the adoption Of the administration
bill, Congressman Temple, of Pennsylvania offered
the following amendment: add to section the
following: Provided further that this section shall
also include and apply to the station agents train
dispatchers, trackmen office employees, workers in
railway shops, and all other employees of a railroad
carrier engaged in interstate carriage of passcn-
gers and freight"
This amendment, which would have benefited
five times as many persons as does the Adamson
law, was rejected by the Democratic majority
The vote was 81 for and I2o against, nearly all Of
the latter coming from Democrats Then the
Adamson bill passed under threat of the
brotherhoods whose representatives sat in the
gallery keeping tab on the vote.
If the administration had been honest if if
really wishes to benefit the railroad employees of
the country, its bill would have been as wide in
its scope as Mr.. Temples amendment 1t did not
however, dare to father a bill which would benefit
so many hundreds of thousands of unorganized
employees. The Temple amendment was showed
under and the Democrats went before the country
with a law whose title is lie and whose doubtful
benefits concern only small proportion of the
whole army of railroad labor-Chieago Tribune,
