Republicans out In Minnesota are
scenting o plot on the part of the
Democrats and the Farmer-Labor party
in that State What they believe may
happen is that the Farmer-Labor party
will not put a presidential elector ticket
in the field next year, but will agree
to support the Democratic presidential
electors, provided the Democrats will
support the Farmer-Labor candidates
for State Offices, and give them part,
II not all, the Federal patronage. In
deed 1t now seems assured that the
Farmer Labor party will not offer q
ticket Of presidential electors in 1882.
The Farmer Labor party, which has q
United States Senator, q Governor, q
member Of the House and q mayor of
Minneapolis. snot to mention other Of
fees, Is localSto Minnesota. The Farm
er-Laborites sare not Democrats, but
have been Republicans In the past.
Their situation is something like that
consin, only 1.-THE La Toilette Republic
cans retained the name Of old party.
II the Prcgressives, under whatever
name, put up candidates for President
and Vice President next year. the most
they could hope for would be victory
in enough sEtates to throw the elec-
ton Of President into the House Of
Representatives. If that happened the
present Houae would be called upon
to choose the President, not the House
elected In 1892. And the present House
would. in al probability, pick Re-
publican. Under such circumstances
the ProgressiSes are not 80 keen to put
o third tickat In the field next year.
But the Republicans In Minnesota have
got q lot ont their hands If they have
to carry thesSt against combina-
ton of Faraaer-LaboriteS and Demo-
Gratis In thief presidential election.

INITIATION POLICY
SEEN BY M'FADDEN
House Member Believes Specula-
ton May Follow Cheap
Money Rates.

A possible result Of what Chairman
McFadden of the House Banking Com
mittee described as the new imitation
policy of the Federal Reserve Board
may be stock market stimulated by
speculation.
Last week, McFadden said, in a sur
vey of financial conditions facing the
United States in 1881, the Reserve Board
changed from policy of deflation be-
gun with the Hoover administration, to
the policy of imitation maintained under
President Coolidge.
This important change was appar-
emily the result of the recent confer
ence held abroad when Gov. Harrison
of the New York Reserve Bank con-
ferrcd in London, Paris and Berlin
wit the heads of the central banks in
Eu. ope," McFadden said
This plan Is intended to make money
and credit cheap through the lowering
of the discount rate to 2 per cent and
the application Of open market opera
lions and that of publicity-the three
greatest powers at the command of the
Federal Reserve system"
Money is only easy for those of large
financial strength" he continued
Rates of interest are low only on the
highest grade of securities. If credit
therefore, is released because of this
Va al pOllNy III tIdh-
ing money cheap it will be used in spec
ulation in the stock market or else will
be used in the bond market.
IF the money is used in the stock
market, it will again accelerate specula-
ton; if in the domestic bond market. it
will largely be used in refunding opera
tons"
Another alternative result Of easy
money, the banking chairman said, is
large foreign loans with shipments of
gold abroad. Such operations, he said,
may be fraught with the same dangers
of the change of policy which termi-
mated in the subsequent orgy of specula-
ton
McFadden said the full effect of this
change" would be seen between April
and July.

DAILY CLEARING HOUSE
FIGURES DISCONTINUED

BY the ASSOClaLeu Press.
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE new
ruling of the New York Clearing House
Association abolishing publication of
oaily clearing house figures became eff
fective today. Hereafter only the regu-
lar weekly statement will be published.
The action to abolish publication of
the daily figures was taken largely to
abolish gambling schemes that had
sprung up in many sections, based on
the published figures. Since establish
ment of the Federal Reserve System the
figures had lost much of their barometric
significance.
