The comptroller of tin currency In his
annual report presents some considera
tions regarding the relation of the gov.
ornmcnt to money which these people
who are demanding that the govern
ment shall issue all the currency will do
wall to consider. Comptroller Hepburn
says that the government cannot Issue
money gratuitously ; It must bo In ex
change for some value , Under the con
stitution conp-rcss must provide all the
money that possesses a full debt-paying
power. By every consideration of sound
business principles It should provide all
the money tl .it the country requires.
Under the principle that the govern
ment can oxchanco money only for
Bomothinir of value the nub-treasury
scheme can have no place In our finan
cial system. It proposes something
wholly outside of the functions of the
government and does not contemplate
fliich a transaction as would come within
the sound definition which the comp
troller of the currency givoa of the
olllco of the government In issuing
money , that is , that every dollar Hont ,
out by the government mint represent
value received by the government.
As congress alone c.ui give full debt-
paying power to money , a state bank
currency cannot possess this tiowor , so
that if the democratic policy of allowing
state bunk's to Issue money should prevail
vail a legal tender currency would bo
displaced by ono not having thai
quality. It is not easy t3 underlain
how any sensible man can fall to so <
that such a course must result to UK
general injury. The comptroller of tin
currency presents some familiar arguments
monts against a restoration of state ban !
currency , remarking among other thing
that It would bo especially hurtful to tin
laboring class. ' 'The restoration estate
state bank circulation , " says the comp
trailer , ' 'norlands disnstor to that clas
of our citl/.ons who most need and havi
most right to aak protection from th
government. State bank clrculatlo
loses its money power in a crisis. It i
a source ot weakness and adds to th
danger. Inatoid of paying debts i
comes forward Itself to bo paid. "
These simple and correct views of th
relation of tho. government to mono ;
nnd of the importance- having all th
currency come from the only source tha
can give it full debt-paying power ma
have little influence with these wh
want the government to go into
mortgage and pawnbrokcrago businos
or with others who think that over
state should bo free to authorize banl
to issue as great an amount of papc
promises * to pay as they please , bu
they are founded upon sound and ondui
ing principles which must bo rogardo
in order to have a secure and stable cut
roncy , such as the country now ha ;
There is hardly a possibility that tl
populist ideas regarding the currem
will ever prevail , but there is stror
probability tnat the domoarats will pei
mit the issue of notes by the state bauk
and this would as certainly moan a r <
vurn of all the evil conditions of th
past when this policy prevailed.

The restriction of immigration ,
which a demand is going up all ever

problems that will confront the n
10 congress , but there will also bo
10T added problem resulting from the al

government has undertaken n con
tract that will not bd easy to carry
out No paiiiilty Is provided by tha law
for falluro to comply with its provisions
except that t.hoso who do not oomply
shall bo sent back to their own country.
The dlillculllcs In the way of this are
obvious. It is cstlmitod that the aver
age cost of shipping each Chinaman
from his present place of residence in
the United Stiles to soni3 Chlnojo port
would not bo loss than $100 , which
would Involve an expenditure of $10-
7)0,000 assuming that practically all of
the 2 < 30,003 disrog.ird the registration
law. Of course there Is no llkollhood
that such a sum of money would bo pro
vided by congress lor that purpose. The
law itself imposes the duty of carrying
out the p.'oeram upon the secretary o !
the treasury and the attorney general
and 350,01)0 ) is appropriated for the pur
pose a sum which In all probability wll
bo about $11,030,000 short 6 f the amount

Congress c.xn wrestle with this pleas
ant problem in connection with the general -
oral subject of immigration , with whloh
it will soon bo evllod upon to deal. I
may bo extremely difficult to fraino i
law that will exclude thoao who are ob-
joclional and admit , all who should be
welcomed. This country still nojds lur
migrants of the right kind , and the wes
in particular has room for many thous

from foreign shores who seek pormanon

There appears to bo a' growing sontl
mont in the country that the time hr
cotno for the government to make t
mure distinct and agirrossivo assortloi
of the M'jnroa ' doctrine than has booi

The interest which some of the Eur

and it is not to bo doubted that tin
have been able to accomplish a gro

that they have baon enabled to do th
largely by reason of the extensive iinii
cial and commercial relations of Eur
peans with the southern countries , it
also a fact that the governments thor

the session of congress approaches
there are two topics in Washington which
absorb , to the exclusion of nil other. ) , the
attention of everyone Interested In national
politics. These two questions , each of them
so complicated as to possess nil the charm ot
uncertain speculation , nrc : flr.u , the compo
sition of the cabinet to bo anouncod next
March , nnd second , whether there will ba nn
extra session ot the next congress called by
1'roUdont Cleveland .
Upon the tlrst of these questions , the com
position ot Mr. Cleveland's cabinet , the
political prophets found some light today In
the npp.ircutly authoritative announcement
that the post of secretary ot tha treasury
will bo filled by Mr. l nlrohlld of Now Vork.
If it is true that Mr. Fall-child has really
been nskoJ by Mr. Clovelaud to aceout the
post in which ho succeeded Mr. Manning ,
the cabinet situation is cleared up so lar as
the most Important place In it In both a pub
lic and u political sense IB concernod.
Tli ore wilt bo no cabinet oftiuor of tno next
administration burdened with mora sorlous
oroblems than tuo secretary ol the treasury.
The results , or the nossiblorosults.of the Inter
national monetary conference now in session
at Brussels will bo largely affected by his
views ; the question of tha free coinage of
stiver , which will undoubtedly bo Injocto.l
into the proceedings of the next congress ,
will also bo influenced by his bias.
Other TrmiltU'ttomo t > u < "Uiom.
Iho varied schemes of the third party for
the Issuing of bonds or of curroncv based
upon stored agricultural products will also
hare to bo encountered by "this oiltcml , und
perhaps more important than cither of those
problems will bo the Question of how tongiiln
olio up n surplus in the treasury for political
effect , while at the same tlmo meeting the
clamor of the crazy theorists of the west anil
south.
The talk about Mr. Pulrchlld's nnpolnt-
inont as secretary ot the treasure is met bv
the usual dUscntingcry that his income from
his private business is too great to bo suerl-
Heed for a portfolio carrying with it a salary
of only fSU09 a year. This is nu argument
that need not bo serious ) ; considered ,
inasmuch as the position of secretary of the
treasury can bo made to lead to more lucra
tive positions in the financial world
utter its expiration , but It may bo properly
bornt in mind by the cabinet makers Hint
ono William i < \ llarnty of Pennsylvania
claims to hrwo had to do with the election of
Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Harrlty has been slated
by the prouhets for the placa of uostmaster
gonerdl , seemingly for no other reason but
that under the lust Cleveland administration
ho was much criticised as postmaster of
Philadelphia. As a mutter of tact Mr. llarnty
is known by his friends to hnvo no desire
to bo postmaster general. Mr. Harrity
Is president of u prominent trnst
company in Philadelphia just as Mr. Fairchild -
child is in New York , and iu case the latter
has not been actually offered and accepted
the treasury secretaryship it will bo no sur
prise to see thin position ottered to the chair
man of the democratic national committee.
Must Kxpliilu Jinny Tiling * .
Whoever may be aopointed secretary ol
the treasury by Mr. Cleveland will ccrtalnl >
encounter a great deal of criticism from the
various branches of the democracy and iu
allk > . - > , who nio so seriously diVidea upon
questions of currency and llnnnce. Tin
selection of the Pennsylvania ! ! whoso eon
iicct Ion with Wall street might be
assumed to ho less direct tbnn
than of Secretary Fab-child would
not , therefor" , bo surprising. Aside Iroin
Pennsylvania the cabinet makers are considering -
sidoring Now England. It is gunnrally con-
cculod that tno htKhly intellectual mugwumi
element , must bd recognized hero , and it is
guessed by many th'it the secretary of state
will como from ono of the Now England
states. One name frequently mentioned is
that of K. J. Phelo * , who was minister to
England under Mr. Cleveland , und who was
selected bv President Harrison us ono af the
counsel in thn Uorlng sea case. The poliuca
humorists bring forward the name of George
Frail Williams us representing the "mug
wutup" klniloi-Rnrdeu clement , while ex
Congressman Patrick Collins is urged bj
others for the post of attorney general.
But the south , the middle western state'
nna the far west all puzzla the cabinet snccu
huors with the demands of locality. The
frlonds of "Horizontal" Bill Morrison ol
llllaole , for example , wish him promotoc ,
from the Interstate Coramcrca commission tc
a place in the cabinet. The democratic ma
Jorlty in Illinois demands recognition lr
sonio cabinet position , oven though Axmar
Stevenson has r.ither coinplaceutlj
i said" thnt the vice presidency ought to bi
3 enough for his stnlo.

cxoact to bo rocopnlzea with nl lens

of litllo real vnluu , inasmuch as UK
