The princess walks from five to eight

CHARLES ETHERIDGE, of St. Paul,
Mimi, defrauded bank of $4,000
and fed from the State. He was
overtaken by remorse and has fully
reimbursed the swindled institution
by turning over to it the bulk of his
real and personal property, and he
now asks to be reinstated in the
church of which he was a member
In a letter to his former pastor he says
of his crime that "the step was one
born Of desperation, leading blindly
as it were off the high ground of in
tegrity into the deep and to me un-
known abyss of crime," and he adds
that atonement for weakness in
yielding to temptation and prayer to
be sustained in that object and to keep
me from temptation will be daily
and hourlyimposed duty" Etheridge
appears to be really a. penitent man,
proving his repentance by works.

New York is the great city Of banking reserves
and nearly all paper discounted and exchange
sold in: other cities is paid in New York The
Treasury Department does all Its Anancierng
there and seems unable to carry on Its operations
without the aid Of New York bankers. 1t does
not follow that the interests Of the money center
are antagonistic to those OF the whole country
Capital and labor are necessary to each other and
10 country, however rich in natu raj resources,

avail itself of capital, but capital results from In
telligent labor Of the people, and should not be
organized as in this movement for destroying the
legal tender Of greenbacks. Our people have un.
bounded confidence in our paper money because
they know Its resumption depends on their own
credit, and they have determined and are able to
pay 1t in coin. These petitioners wish to be able
to lend national bank notes to the people, and
pay for their crops In this currency, but when
the people pay their debts the capitalists demand
q description Of the money whose volume shall
be entirely within the control Of the national
banks The industrial classes are content to re-.
ceive United States notes. They have confidence
In their own money. II there ever was time
when the legal tender clause should have been
abolished 1t was when notes were below par. The
people had tried to maintain this currency thrO'
the war, and oalamit6 In face Of the oppres.
sive law to keep 1t down. and when they had
been successful 1t was attempted to be destroyed

money. 1t would be raising unjust suspicion OF
the good faith OF the people to take away the le'
gal tender quality when the people had actually
begun resumption Congress had no more right
to destroy the legal tender Of this money and SO

Mr.. Morgan went on to say that should the
balance Of trade turn against us and gold be
drawn from the country, greenbscks would be
indispensable as our currency, and would still be
kept at par by the honesty and faith OF the peo.
pie. He would not advocate the abolition OF ma
tonal banks, but he would not consent to the in,
definite postponement Of the payment OF the
public debt in order to keep up their privileges.
But he would advocate the abolition Of monop.
oily that enables national banks to draw interest
on funds deposited with the government to Sc.
cure their circulation, while holders of gold and
silver are not permitted to bank upon 1t all. He
would remove all tax on national bank circula.
ton in order to remove tax upon the people.
The power OF banks was dangerous. He would
not increase it by removing the currency which
may keep them in check. He would vote against
any measure that would disturb the industries Of
the country, There was danger that we might
destroy the business confidence Under which we
were returning to prosperity The resolution
was referred to the Committee on Finances.

Notes must stand as legal tender to be with.
drawn. Perhaps 1t would be we'll to amend the
Constitution by taking away from Congress the
power to issue paper money in the time of war,
Possibly our inaationists might plunge the coun.
try into war in order to secure what they deemed
essential to Its financial prOsperito. But the su-
preme Court has upheld the constitutonality Of
the present issue, and there was no appeal from
that decision, which had been relied upon In all
contracts made since 1t was rendered. Green.
backs are now as good as gold but they hamper
the power Of gold over the industries Of the
country, and 1t iB not surprising that gold and
the national banks are moving together to de.
stroy their competition. 1t is true their destruc.
ton would break some of the smaller banks, but
this would only add to the strength Of the great
ones, Even at moderate rate of interest on the
public debt we will have paid more than four
times the amount OF the debt before 1t is paid off


We are in the meantime paying forty millions
yearly for the use Of S337,OOO 900 national bank
currency when we might have the benefit Of
United States notes without taxation.

The Chamber of Commerce took tilt on
the park question yesterday, and, as usual,
there was general howl against Como park.
In the face of this customary TRADE, the
GLOBE wishes to remark that Como park
was one of the wisest movements ever in
augurated by the city. True, an extrava-
giant price was paid, as compared with pres
ent real estate rates, but it was bought in
flush times. II it had not been bought in
flush times the purchase never would have
been made. Everyone knows that if we
had waited for the crash in real estate the
park would not have been secured at any
price. It is popular to abuse the Como
Park scheme now, but if it is kept from be-
ing transformed into cattle yard, ten years
will not elapse before the sentiment will be
as unanimous in its favor and the wisdom of
it's purchase generally acknowledged. With
broad avenue and street cars running to
the park change will occur, and the GLOBE
desires to be known as friend of that much
abused breathing place.
