at work. His view la that the under
production ofh eef cattle, caused by
cutting tip the ranches Into farms,

other Is the abnormal consumption of
meat due to the country's prosperity.
These are not bad guesses, but are
not the whole of the aubject. They do
not explain the high prices of hogs

diseases ravage the herds so often.
After all, however, the dominating
cause Is the unceasing increase of
mouths to he fed. The west needs beef
. nJ P'" 88 much S the east. The
south Is buying more every rear. The
, , . . . . . . "
pacKing industry wnne it has utilized
meat products beyond the Imagination
of fifty years ago has taught not only
this country but the world to pro
vision itself liberally with meat. Fresh
meat Is a small part of the total. Oan-

In our country more population
! stands fur more meat. Aliens
who
' rareIy tasted meat in Europe eat
it
freely here. Natives, who relied on
ham and bacon have turned to high
priced cuts of beef and to fresh pork.
The changes of the last twenty-five
years have all been toward meat con
sumption. The prosperity of the
McKlnley period taught habits of liv
ing hard to give up and the present
active era. following a vast increase of
population, presses heavily on the
meat supply. What will be the end
cannot be foreseen, but, as far as any
Investigator can calculate, the prices
of beef and pork will be high for a
long period.
Money Rates.
Money prices are to those who pro
fessionally deal In that apparently
mysterious commodity as simple as
the price of corn and cotton. A Wall
street paper says that money looks
easy now, but we are two years from
the panic of 1907, and, unless all re
corded history counts for nothing, we
are near the end of the cheap money
period.
This opinion is predicted on the
stated rule that after great panics, es
pecially those which are felt with
more or less effect in all the world's
markets, money becomes very easy
and remains so for a long time. In the
panic of 1873, after the rate had
touched 9 per cent in November, it
bad fallen to 2 4 by June. In the late
panic money could not be obtained
at any price for a time, but it has been
steady lately at 2 4 per cent. People
quickly forget and they now talk as If
the price could never change. The
Wall street paper utters the caution
that conditions after these periods of
easy money change with surprising
rapidity. It ts generally in the late
autumn the unlendable surplus seems
suddenly to have disappeared. The
market realizes that its calculations
must be based on an entirely new set
of figures.
One authority does not know more
than another or see much further, but
It is not unprofitable to note the dicta
of these organs of the stock market. If
money is on the verge of tightness the
people, even those who have not much
cash, ought to know the signs and gov
ern themselves with prudence.
Toward a Central Bank.
Officials of the treasury are con
vinced that both the public and the
country banks have laid aside most of
their prejudice against the central
bank Idea. These officials, looking at
the movements of opinion merely aa
information in the line of their duty,
think that the long-sustained political
hostility to a central bank, dating
from Jackson's battle with Middle and'
his bank has nearly passed away. The
position of the president, which Is not
a demand, but a thoughtful . willing
ness to consider the recommendation
If presented by the monetary commis
sion, has had a profound effect on
general opinion. As the old democrats
learn that the central bank lda of
today has little resemblance to the
Blddle bank that Jackson destroyed,
they forget any prejudice resting on
the ground of political consistency.
The Aldrlch plan contemplates only a
bank of Issue which will be free of
Wall street Influence and separated
from the politics of political machines.
If this separation fron: Wall street
tnd the machines seems difficult, the
country feels that for the present It
tan trust President Taft and can
await the full development of the com
mission's plan. If the national bank
ers, somewhat reluctant and highly
critical, could project at their conven
tion no serious reason for hostility, the
people feel that they are not called
upon to sound a call to battle.
Speaker Cannon's refusal to indorse
the idea is ascribed rather to his
iettled objection to violent changes in
the money system than to a positive
intention of opposit'dn. His appoint
ment of Vreelaud is not consistent
with a bitter personal opposition. In a
parliamentary sense, Vreeland Is as
powerful as Aldrlch. While Cannon is
not willing to be considered a pre-
ponent of a right-angled, abrupt
monetary change, he Is willing
he Is willing that I
the maiorlty shall take that, course. If
the president and tha other leaders
base decided on the pollcj and the

opinion of the voters does not encour
age hostility.
There Is evidently at this moment
a definite, if not Irrevocable movement
toward a central bank, to escape the
dangers of an Inelastic currency and
the costliness of uncertainty In the
price of money.
"Embetzlement of Power."
In some of his recent speeches Mr.
Bryan has again bee a using a favorite
expression, "Embezzlement of Power,"
with which he characterizes the repu
diation by any public officer of the
pledges made In order to secure the
votes necessary to elect him. Nobody
should defend deceit and double deal
ing, and the acquisition of official
power by fraud may properly be
likened to embezzlement.
But is this ranch different from the
attempt to secure official power by
masquerading In a party livery that
belongs to someone else. How about
the theft of a party name and the mis
branding of candidates for office in or
der to fool people Into giving votes,
which could never be gotten traveling
under their own cognomen?
To go back only one year, what
about the embezzlement by Mr.
Bryan's democratic presidential elec
tors In Nebraska in 1908 of the popu

Is an "embezzlement of power" to

NARROW VIEW OF BtNNKK.
Opposition to Postal' Savings Ranks
Distinctly ietflsh.
Chicago News.
The
time to enact portal savings bank
legislation is at the coming session of con
gress. The agitation against the postal sav
ings system, which the banker in their
convention v- iI.ai- I. a... I a
slstently, has little enough In the way "t
sound argument to give It effectiveness. It
i8 "lost absurd, as the president points out.
to represent that evils to the people would
result from this system when over the
Canadian border it has been In operation
for years and the results have been uni
formly good. Surely the people ought to
Bupport the president heartily In hla ef
forts to secure for them the privilege of
depositing conveniently and with abso
lute safety small sums at any postoffice
in the United States.
While condemning postal savings banks
and declaring unsafe and unwise President
Taft's views with respect to the use of
deposits in them, the bankers' convention
got into a row over its legislative commit
tee's tecoinnietidatioit of savings depart
ments in national banks, with special se
curity for their deposits. So it recom
mended no legislation to improve existing
cjnditlons with respect to the receiving
and safeguarding of small deposits. Its at
titude on this subject Is distinctly unen
lightened and narrow. Congress should
look to the facts, and not to the vocalized
prejudices of men who insist that the
people of the nation shall deposit their
money in existing banking institutions or
nowhere.

hj a Record.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Judging from Mr. Bryan's speech in
Texaa. that gentleman has no delusions
about the democrats carrying ihe next
house. Both the Nebraskan and the New
York organisers ar agreed that the tariff
la their next issue, but Mr. Bryan sees
that whatever chance his party might have
had for victory on that plank has been
sacrificed by the action of the parly's rep
resentatives In congress when the tariff
legislation was before them.
If all the democrat in the house and
senate, Mr. Bryan plaintively observes, had
voted against every Increase and for every
proposed decrease "we might have mad
our fight next year upon the party's rec
ord." But whatever fight they make will,
on the contrary, have to b made against
that record. His proposal that th party
declare for a material reduction la imprac
ticable In view of what the party's repre
sentatives actually did. Nor can It be ex
pected that th tariff democrats In the
constituencies represented by the tariff
voting representatives will go along on
such a platform. It may be adopted as
a gehral statement of party policy, but
It will be impotent and valueless then put
to the test of votes. And the voter will
not easily forget the party's tecoid
no
matter what the parly's platfotm
say."

created Charge Contrary to I'abllc
Policy.
Brooklyn Eagle.
An order has been signed by Postmaster
General Hitchcock raising the ;fee for
registering a letter or a parkage from 8 to
10 cents. It la proposed at the .same time
to Increase the liability of the government
from $U5 to $i0. The excuse for the In
crease Is that the reglatrv department has
been run at a lost.
We do not tthink that the Increase of
liability will be regu.ded by the general
public as much of a boon. We do think
that the utility of the postoffice as a safe
transmitter of valuables will be vastly
lessened by the increase In charge. For
$0 cents a man can send $100 by express
money order. Kight tents is enough for
ihe secure transmission of a U bill by
registered letter.
KxperlmentB In ihe line of increased
charges for postal service aie obsolete
in neatly every country but our own. The
trend is altogether In the opposite direc
tion. This trend springs from a whole
some appreciation of the fact that, profit
able or not. the postoffice is a valuable I
servant to the people, who pay deficits
as well as regular charges, in the lust
analysis.

Oh, I pray ye, take heed of ,
What most I'm In need of
And loosen the strings of the purses e

Olve the best that ye have
For the best that I gave.
For the gay Merry Andrew you've seen

Or, remember me. pray.

If ye sense the soul hunger, the sorrowful

In his merriest Jests, in his liveliest airs,
Ye will know i nd take heed of
What most lies In need of.
Both here and hereafter, wherever h
fares.

That Is like to your own.
