C leveland says ho would rather have his son a great bridge builder than president. The idea was probably suggested by the industry with which Mr. Bryan bores holes into the third-term pontoons. T he Interior Department, In making reserves, states that none of the denud ed timber lands will be included in re serves if any are finally established, which will bar strippers from locating in other sections. They will be obliged to keep their holdings, and can only get lieu lands for sections from which timber has not been removed. A FEW DAYS AGOC. B. Booth, chair man of the National Irrigation Asso ciation, had a long interview with President Roosevelt in the interest of the repeal of the desert land law and homestead commutation act. He as serts that he has many proofs of frauds perpetrated through these laws detri mental to actual homesteaders. The President promised to look into the matter. T he financial condition of the United States government in many respects contrasts very favorably with that of England at this time. England has no surplus at all. Moreover, the securities of the United States government are far above par, our 2 percent bonds be ing quoted at 108. England's 2 1-2 per cent consols are at 88. Since the be ginning of the Boer war in 1899 there has been a shrinkage in the market value of that security which has amounted to about $600,000.000. S plendid timber grows abundant ly ail over Oregon; but it is the Douglas fir that is known the world over. The largest specimen of this timber in Ore gon was on exhibit at the'World’s Fair. The tree was 300 feet high and 40 feet in circumference at the base. It was 118 feet from the ground to the first limb. The age of this giant of the Oregon pineries is estimated to be over 400 years. More ships carry masts of Oregon Douglas fir than any other timber. The largest and best flag staffs are supplied by trees from the same forests. The amateur statesman and financier who has been placed by the Republic an leaders in charge of the United States treasury has been adding to the amusement of the world by telling how he would settle the currency ques tion and how he would build up Amer ican shipping. If theorizing about what he would do, if he bail the power, was all there was to laugh about. Sec retary Shaw could go on with his va porings and no barm would be done. As secretary of the treasury he has. however, enormous opportunities for mischief, and his zeal for the Wall street bankers, l>orn of numerous in terviews with the astute masters of I finance who control the money and stock markets, has led him to violate the plain enactments of congress. Sec retary Shaw at the evident bidding of the stock gamblers has been and is doing the very acts that the Aldrich bill that congress refused to pass would have authorized. That Secretary Shaw is entirely In capable of comprehending the simple law that governs the movement of money is shown by his extraordinary efforts to increase the currency volume. With one hand he deposits with the banks the treasury surplus aud with the other is retiring circulation, which the banks find it profitable to do, as the bonds that secure it have so advanced in price that the banks find it is more profitable to sell fS-m. The Increased premium on bonds has been brought about by the demaud for them as se curity for the surplus cash Mr. Shaw is loaning to favored banks without interest So far as increasing the mon ey supply goes this is merely robbing Peter to pay Paul, the only restriction being that the retirement of bank cir culation is limited to $3,00o,000 a mouth. Secretary Shaw has evaded, if not disobeyed, the law that provides for public money being deposited with banks by depositing $2,500,000 with the St Louis banks without requiring them to deposit United States bonds as security. In this case he accepted state and municipal bonds as security, and bankers all over the country are de manding, on the same terms, their share of the $40,000,000 that Secretary Shaw says he will loan, besides the $156,000,000 already loaned. It is rather discouraging to those who believe in a strict construction of the law in all that relates to the care of the public money that the evasion of the law in the Interest of the bankers by the secretary of the treasury is in dorsed by President Roosevelt. It shows the desperate condition of at least some of the banks that the presi dent has been forced to yield to their Importunities for help. It likewise shows that the boasted independence of the present administration of the money power and Wall street, if such ever existed, has been adjusted for political reasons and that the old alli ance between the Republican leaders and the banks, trusts aud corporations is in full force and effect It is not difficult to believe that these loans, without interest of nearly $200,000.000 of the people's money will return am ple interest to the next Republican campaign fund. In which President Roosevelt has such great personal In terest. A striking example of the de velopment of the resources of the earth that has been going on in recent years is noted in the growing demand for In dia rubber, for manufacturing purposes, and the enormous increase in the im portation of crude rubber. The begin ning of this industry is scarcely more than a half century old. In 1882 the importation of rubber into the United States was 2,000,000 pounds; in 1903 It reach eu a grand total of 50,000,000 pounds, while an enormous bulk of old rubber has this year been reclaimed Dark Lantern Cnrrency. and again become merchantable. The Secretary Shaw’s currency scheme almost universal use of rubber tires on bears the Wall street brand and should light vehicles has caused a large in be acceptable to the Republicans in crease in the demand for rubber in late congress, but it can hardly be that President Roosevelt has approved it. years. ____________ The president dotes on publicity, but I n the early part of the present fis the Shaw scheme provides for secrecy, cal year the Government’s outgo ex and Wall street appears to have cap ceeded its income. This is not an infre tured both him and the president, for quent condition, for the expenditures, it is impossible to believe that the sec owing to the heavy interest payments retary of the treasury would publish his scheme without its having been ap in July, the fiscal year’s first month, proved by the president. The absurdity are always heavy. But the tide has of the scheme is exposed by the New turned. For September the treasury’s York World, which says: receipts surpassed its disbursements by “The chief merit of Secretary Shaw’s $6,450,000. Thus, while the balance plan for an ‘elastic’ or rubberneck was on the other side of the account currency, in the mind of its author, along to the first of September, the seems to be the secrecy with which its heavy excess of receipts in that month proposed note issue could be manipu lated. ‘The only persons,’ be remarks has brought the surplus in income for with pride, ‘who would know of its ex the first quarter of the fiscal year 1903 istence would be the comptroller, the to $5,590,375. As the condition is apt bank and the few people who would to be more favorable In the remaining take sufficient interest in the published nine months, the chances are that the statement of the bank to compare the surplus at the end of June next will be volume of circulation with the amount in the neighborhood of $25,000,000, or of government bonds on deposit in the about half of that ef the fiscal year treasury.’ ” The naivete of that "Iowa Idea” al which ended three moatbs ago. most disarms criticism.

There are only two classes of agri ralturists that are protected by the tariff—the sugar planter and the rice grower—and these are confined to a small strip of land on the gulf of Mex ico and are few and insignificant tn number as compared to the vast num ber of other agriculturists. While not receiving any benefit from the tariff the farmers, as well as every one else, are required to pay the tariff tax on sugar and rice for the benefit of the few growers of these products in the United States and a bonus besides to the sugar trust, which is especially protected by the tariff. The farmers, although not being protected by the tariff, are like the balance of us obllg ed to pay not only the tariff tax on nearly everything they eat, drink or wear, but also the more onerous tax that the trusts Impose on their prod ucts, which include about everything.
