THE XEV CtlillEXCY LAAW THB Philadelphia' North Amerl- - can is. a very able Independent I Republican newspaper. It can . see the truth or falsity in any proposition about as clearly as any newspaper in the country, and it al ways dares to tell what it believes to be the truth. Hence some of its comments on the new currency law, that is to be pointed to with pride at Chicago, are worth Quoting. The North American says: ""It seemed impossible for con gress to perpetrate anything more tofamous that the Aldrich-Vreeland bill. Yet; cod gress reached that high pinnacle of error in sanctioning the composition of the currency commis sion by Cannon and Fairbanks.", ; After characterizing the law as "a legislative monstrosity , that Is the worst political blunder in the history of the Republican party," the North American Quotes from the language of experts published in the Congres sional Record who said' that the law was "written in Wall street"; was ''6 0 per cent senate Infamy and 6 0 per cent house infamy"; was a law that would . place every small com mercial bank in the country at the mercy of the few so-called "financial banks" hence, a sort of financial trust. vt'.v;' ':-'", "; The North American declares that' the amended Aldrlch bill "was far less vicious than the pernicious cheat thAtfhas become the law," and quotes ex-Secretary., of the Treasury Lyman 3! Qage as describing it as "a nar cotic, to woo the country into false reposefrom which. we shall awaken at last la trouble and real agony." j This measure for pretended gen- j cral relief, says the North Ameri can, cannot be used in the slightest degree by any one of seventeen states. It was Intended to allow Wall street to cast its "cats and dogs" into the national treasury, and by a Juggling of redemption dodge all taxation and. trade cheap money for legal tender redeemable In gold. The law is , "an . infamous device, each day's examination of which un earths' a new nest of snakes, whose fangs, sooner or later, will strike poison into every branch of legitl mate banking, commerce and indus try for the j fattening of the Wall street blood-auckers." The law sets but one limitation or check upon the acceptance of securi ties, the approval of the secretary of the treasury, and as Senator Bacon cald, "we all know it la a historical fact -that the : secretaries . of . the treasury are, as a general rule, trans : f erred from; the portfolio of ; the treasury to some highly lucrative position in, New York, given to them by the favor of Wall street. And the startling monstrosity of the pro vision is found in Che fact that the very officer who is to pass upon the question of the sufficiency of the se curities Is the officer who. Judging the future by the past. Is to look for rewards and emoluments to the very parties Interested in having him ap prove the securities." ' , ':: But a "more heinous crime" was perpetrated in the appointment of the commission "Aldrlch, agent oH Rockefeller; Allison, a fossil buried In antique Ideas; Burrows, enemy of all reforms;. Hale, the mournful -hater of anything west of New Eng land; Teller, rabid opponent of com mercial paper as a basiB for anyj money i-sue; Bailey, big brained but , over .whose career the trail of the Standard Oil serpent lies Of the . house members, Vreeland, Overstreet, and Weeks are described as "subservient tools of the interests that epeak through Aldrlch"; Bur gess, Smith. Bonynge and Pujo as "echoes, nullities," leaving two good members, Burton and Padgett, "put on by . mistake." "The commission has been established solely for the purpose of sidetracking, delay and deceit." The appointment of . the majority of these men was "an in sult unparalleled in parliamentary cncalj." And the reason of all this 1? that the commission is. Intended rot to accomplish but to prevent re form. Already it is announced that the commission will take three or fcur years tor investigation in this country and la Europestudying fr.snco doubtless at Monte Carlo. "Thn plan is simply to enable Wall street to . say year after year ti nt nothing must be. done until we Lear from the delIbeations f this !ctable Aldrich-Vreeland crowd.

C05DIOX COJOIENT - COM- , : JIEXTED OS. T HE Centralis' (Washington) Ex aminer discusses "The Incon sistency of Oregon -Polities' much as various other papers have done, and so its article is taken I ' ' ; " : --------1 as the basis Of a brief comment. -The I Examiner sava Dolltica In Orptron are I topsy . . turvey; that the election J .-..T , . - I causes one to lose faith in the peo-J pie or , Oregon being ; in sympathy with Republican principles; ; that it seems ' that they ' don't know what I they have done: that the people's rill is diametrically oppbsed to com- in i. arJ i..-t, .s ji 1 mon sense, and that the result shows 1 that the. former method of electing! sehatbrs In Oregon Is the better. It I is aDsura, it is asserted, to sena a Republican to one house and a Dem-j nnrat in on nth or tnr tha Damn, rat . "-i wiu do antagonistiu to tne oasic prin-1 clples of the Republican party- add so on. i- , - mow an mis assumes, ana an aim-1 liar comments assume, that there is the difference between white and black between the Republican and the Democratic- party; that between them there Is a great gulf fixed; that ' they stand in clearly defined hostility to each other on all points. Hostility to eacn tjtner on an points, and that finally the Republican o,.. t. aalLt TJ party Is o possession of some most Important and sacred "basic prin- clplea" that a Democrat like Cham berlain must make it his official business constantly and strenuously to oppose all of which ; Is mere imagination and false assumption, f th lea t the fOUtainhea:d beinK the On nine out of ten things of iPorM;iC&t ance to the people of Oregon there is no good reason whatever why Cham berlain and Hawley cannot agree and work harmoniously together. In deed, on nothing that is likely to be acted on with any appreciable effect on Oregon, except possibly the tariff. are they likely to disagree. And what are those "fundamen tal" and "basic" ' principles that we hear so much about? And how do they apply, how are they to be ap plied, to present problems and ques tions and proposed measures in which the people are Just now In terested? .The Journal has asked these questions repeatedly, and no body responds, except to repeat 'basic principles," like a parrot.. A phrase is often used to shield a great amount of deception and fraud. Let as know Just how those celebrated "principles" are going to operate in Roosevelt's way or Cannon's way, in Elklns' way or La Follette's way? Is a man like Ellis loaded down with all the precious and worthy political "principles" of the country, while a man like Chamberlain has none of them whatever? And what do "prin ciples" amount to if the people can get no right service from those who profess them? We confess to a weariness at the constant reiteration of this meaningless term "princi ples." . ', The Examiner ;goes on to say: "It is probable that , Mr. Chamberlain would side with Mr. Roosevelt in his fight against certain; ; national evils; he might side 'with him, or with his successor, against corpo rate aggression; against the" en croachment of monopolies, against the despotism of commercial com binations, but these are not basic political questions." Oh, these are not "basic." They have nothing to do, then, with the principles," nor the "principles" with them. It seems that whenever the people are to be deluded and plundered, the "principles" drop out of sight What iB more "basic" in a democracy than "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none"? Jefferson was called a Republican when he enunciated that, and - it ought to be good Republican as well as good Democratic doctrine . yet. Chamberlain, the point seems to be, will act on the, right side or an questions, and In the people's Inter est, but,thls counts for nothing be cause he is not sound - on some shadowy, : undefined ."baste-: princi ples." which are; what nobodjr can find out." : . . . ; ; ..- '; v.

Now, it is reported that Cdrtelyon is. administration's candidate for vice-president, and if so he will prob ably get the nomination, as the ad ministration forces will be In con trol of the convention. Whether it would make much difference in the votes or not, millions ' of ' people throughout the country would take Cortelyou's nomination to be a con cession, even in a measure a surren der, to "Wall street " with whom Cortelyou is an even greater" favor ite, if possible, than Fairbanks or is Shaw.

It touches only upon a very few matters, and leaves a great deal unsaid, which is perhaps better than to have attempted to say all that might have seemed proper.
