If the national gov ernment needs funds; if it spends more money than it collects hy taxa tion, it must continue in the old way to borrour money from the world at largo by the sale of bonds. "For the single purpose of this projected bank would bo the safe guard of the, business interests of the people in their private relations. If there were need for more money for business purposes, the bank would supply it by notes, and if there were a plethora, in dull times, these notes would be withdrawn rapidly. Gov ernmental assistance to the institu tion would be limited to the deposit with tho central bank of all govern ment funds now in the national banks. "The existing banks, it is hoped, would find their compensation for the loss of these funds in being re lieved from their present burden of carrying the whole weight of respon sibility -for increases In the circulat- Let Me Send Ycu A Treatment of Mv Catarrh Gure Free 7ymBK O.

GAUSS I Will Take Any Case of Catarrh, No Matter How Chronic, or What Stage It is in, and Prove, EN TIRELY AT MY OWN EX PENSE, That It Can Be Cured Curing catarrh has been my busi ness for years, and during this time over one million people have come to me from all over the land for treat ment and advice.

"Tho question as to how the busi ness man is td benefit by a central bank is sought to bo answered by tho statement that tho project in cluded a provision for tho acceptance of good commercial paper as a basis for tho issue of money. Such paper would represent actual transactions between solvent concerns all short timo credits and sure to bo re deemed whenever the transaction was concluded. There would bo a rea sonable coin reserve to main equili brium. "That this plan will meet with prolonged opposition when laid bo fore congress can not be doubted, al though the administration desires to have the matter regarded as non political. "At the last bankers convention at Chicago many of the bank officers regarded the measuro as the opening wedge for tho destruction of the most lucrative portion of their busi ness, and viewed with disfavor the plan whereby tho government bank was to enter Into competition for the enormous discount operations which gave them very great Influence in the industries of the country. "Possibly thf'r objections can, In a measure, be weakened by a re course to some other means of se curing a basis for tho circulating notes of tho central bank than com mercial paper, Luch as an enlarged reserve of gold and silver or even gilt-edged mortgages on real prop erty." Apparently from the last- sugges tions tho supporters of the plan hope to make tho basis of the circulating notes tho principal feature of the ex- .pected battle, avoiding as much as possible tho main issue of the cen tralized control of the power to in crease or decrease at will the amount of money In the country. It would seem that Senator Aid rich expects democratic aid at critical moments, judging from the follow ing: "It may be that the existing po litical parties will be divided on this great question, and that there will be a new alignment in congress when it is broached.

After laying tho rag baby green back in its little flat grave, after dis owning the trade dollar and debas ing and divorcing poor old hard working silver coin, it is discovered that we need "a safe and sound fi nancial system;" "some sort of ar rangement for a central hank or issue which shall control the reserve and exercise a power to meet and control casual stringency." Taft has mado the discovery of this gnawing need, and is advertising it through out the west. Aldrich is to father the scheme and tell the west all about it. Taft says it's bound to come, and that Aldrich has done so well in re vising necessities upward and lux uries downward that he is peculiar ly fitted to head the new movement for saneness and soundness. Mr. Aldrich has already blushingly ac ppnted. but ho sees some dangers. The central bank should be kept free from Wall Street influences and not be manipulated, for political pur- He threatens to taut aiong The Price of Goodness The goodness of Uneeda Biscuit is not a matter of cost to you.

(Advj I this line, and wall btreer, ana uie politician? are already scared to death almost, not quite. In case of a casual stringency now adays the process of relief is to have tho United 8taes treasury grab a bag of monty and run over to Wall Street and help out. It will doubt less bo much more convenient to have a central bank located right in Wall Street, with power to control the mone.' market. Of course, much depends on who is given this power. If the president appoints another galaxy of corporation hirelings, of course, a politician or two, or some fellow with friendly interest in Wall Street may slip in. However, Mr. Taft and Mr. Aldrich will show the minimum of danger in this to the wild, woolly and wall-eyed wests in their junket speeches. Get ready to swallow! Cincinnati Post. NO INTEREST.
