THE MONEY QUESTION
Our Financial System Has Failed
of Its Duty.
ITS INCOMPETENCE PROVED.
Government, Not Banks, Should Con
. trol Money of the Nation?Weakness
of Proposed Emergency Currency Leg
islation?Senator Owen's Remedy.
Recrudescence of "Offensive Par
tisanship"?Roosevelt's Use of F?d
oral Patronage.
By WILLIS J. ABBOT.
When the national convention meets
in 1?0S it will be confronted by the
question as to whether William J. Bry
an shall be nominated for the presiden
cy. The Democratic convention nomi
nates only by a two-thirds vote. Its
candidate, whoever be may be, must
have two-thirds of all the delegates in
his support. Of course as a recom
pense for this the Democratic party
stands for the unit rule. Every state
delegation votes as unit. The only
time when this rule ?was broken was in
Michigan in 1892, when the state dele
gation was split. Today there is no
possibility of a break in ,any state. If
Mr. Bryan is not the favorite of the
whole convention, he w?l not be nom
inated, and of all men he would be the
last to seek a nomination under such
conditions.
Senator Owen on "in? Panic."
Off course Oklahoma is far away
from the financial center of the United
States. Senator Owen has offered as
a remedy for the financial panic this
proposition: "Let the United States
treasury advance treasury notes against
acceptable bonds deposited witi? tbc
treasury up to UO per cent of their
present market value to any. person or
corporation or bank. .Let the treasury
charge for these advances of treasury
notes a-charge of 6 per cent, per an
num for the first four i months and 8
per cent thereafter." The measure
which Senator Owen :Js going to pre
sent is to a certain extent very much
like that which the bankers ? of the
country are going to ? offer under the
name of an emergency currency. The
chief difference is that the proposition
of the senator from Oklahoma makes
the issuance of currency part of the
duty of the treasury :.aud:.not part of
the business of the national bauks. He
urges that the currency should be ua
J tional currency and not'national bank
I currency. He says. "The treasury
notes advanced in this manner under
a penalty of 6 and S;per cent would
not inflate the currency, I but, on the
contrary, would be automatically self
contracting and return ito the treasury
j Immediately the present-exigency has
passed."
Men who are in a position to. talk
with Authority say that the. proposi
tion of the bankers for an. emergency
currency based upon all sorts of cu
rious securities will be pressed befoie
congress, will be reported by the com
mittee on currency anil :ls likely to'lie
adopted. Personally I do not'believe
this. It does not seem possible that
the congress, of the United States will
permit the enactment of a law which
will allow the banks to issue currency
based upon securities which may or
may not be thoroughly acceptable.
There is a certainty that the committee
on banking and currency In both house
and senate will demand some uew reg
ulation of the banking currency. What
that regulation may l>e it 5s too early
to determine. It will not be the conces
sion to the banks of the right to Issue
currency based upon any sort of securi
ties. The lime has passed when banks
could be permitted to buy a railroad
bond, deposit 5r in their own vanlts;and
then issue mouey based upon iL Only
last week one of the great railroad sys
tems in the south went into the hands
of a receiver. If the banks of Virginia
and North and South Carolina had
been Issuing uotes based on the bonds
of the Seaboard Air L-xne, what would
those notes have been worth?
Undoubtedly the money question is
?going to come up agaiu in the next
?campaign. It will not come up in its
<3(ld shape of the free coinage of sliver,
though many people believe that it
might well have been fought out .on
that line and that today the banking
system would have been better had
that ttprht been won. But it must
be argued agaiu because the banking
system has shown itself incompetent
to cope with present business necessi
ties. The treasury is not able to carry
out the needs of the nation, and so in
some way the country must determine
how to correct a financial system
which has ?been shown to be utterly
Incompetent to take care of the busi
ness of the nation. Every fall we find
that it is impossible to get money
enough to move the crops. Every
winter wo find it impossible to get
money enough to carry the cotton of
the south to the seaboard. That means
that the financial system of the Unit
\ ed States has failed of its duty. The]
banks have controlled the money of
the nation, they have controlled to
[ some extent the politics-of the nation.
' but now. after all their boasting of
their system, they are unable to carry
from the north and the northwest food
products to the seaboard, and they are
equally unable to carry cotton from
the south and the southwest to tide
water. It would seem that the bank
ing system should be changed or else
that the banks should no longer at
tempt to control the politics of the
nation.

national convention can avoid nomi
nating a rea! Democrat for the presi
dency. Periiaps this Is not quite fair.
It might be more fair to say that it ex
plains how some real Democrats can
be used to prevent the nomination of
other Democratic Democrats.
The Sun is anxious only to see that
Sir. Bryan rhduld be defeated for the
[ nomination. It seems to be anxious
not for the nomination of any other
man, but merely for the defeat of Bry
an. After a long and careful study of
the Sun's editorial page \ cannot point
out any suggestion on its part of a sin
gle candidate for the Democratic parry.
The Sun goes on to say that Texas
might give its thirty votes to Senator
Charles A. Culberson, a::d the votes
could he cast for no more able repre
sentative of the people. But Senator
Culberson has declared himself not a
candidate and is today for the candi
date of the Democratic masses. As
for the candidacy 'Of Governor John
son of Minnesota, no true Democrat
would question its propriety. Gov
ernor Johnson is a Democrat from start
to finish. He suffers, of course, from
the fact that his prominence in the
Democratic party has been very much
advanced by such papers as the New
York Sun. Tills'is not Iiis fault, and
the time will come when he may be
able to live down this sort of journal
istic support and get as close to the
people of tire nation rs he is today
close to the people of his own state.
Every real Democrat will be glad to
see in the convention at Denver a
strong contest for the nomination.
The hi' 4r the fight the greater the
interest and in'the end the larger the
vote. Whoever may be nominated this
time "will go before the members of his
party as a fair winner in a fair fight.
In the 1904 convention the gentlemen
who pressed the candidacy of Judge
Parker saw no better way to do it
than to wantonly insult every man
who stood for another candidate or for
a man who was not a candidate, but
who had a host' of friends. This year
the situation >ls different. Whether
Mr. Bryan or Mr. Johnson should be
the candidate, there are going to be
Democratic unity and Democratic de
termination for success.
Officeholders In-Politics.
The friends of Theodore Roosevelt in
his early days, when his whole political
activity was based upon devotiou to
civil service reform, must wonder some
what at'his present attitude toward
that doctrine. In a Washington news
paper of recent date was an interview
with a New Yorker who had known the
present president when he was a boy
of ten years of age. This New Yorker
tells that even: at that tender age the
young Roosevelt, had stirred the emo
tions of a family gathering by declar
ing after overhearing a conversation
about the sinfulness of polities that
when he grew up he was going to be
a political reformer. The reminiscence
appeared at a somewhat unfortunate
moment. In the same paper which
published it appeared the news that
the secretary of the interior, James
Rudolph Garfield, iad presided over a
county convention in Ohio which was
Intended to advance a,presidential fa
vorite, and to injure the prospects of
Seuator Foraker. It is a matter of his
tory that for the last twenty years no
cabinet officer has taken so open and
avowed interest: in partisan or faction
al politics. On the same day attention
was called to the fact that First As
sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock
had been Invited to undertake the
management of the Taft campaign
and was seriously considering it. More
over, the United States commissioner
of internal revenue, John G. Capers,
had also been summoned to the aid of
the Taft forces. Mr. Hitchcock has
throughout the south an army of ap
pointees in tiie persons of the presi
dential postmasters. Mr. Capers has
:the internal revenue collectors, the
gaugers, the secret service men and all
the hangers-on of the great bureau of
which he is the head.
At this moment.of writing no news
:has come that the civil service reform
ier in the White House has rebuked
these federal officials for what used to
be.called in the days.of Cleveland *iof
fensjve partisanship:"
Why should one, iiowever, expect
that the ideals of youth should still he
cherished by the practical ^politician |
now in the White House? Let us not 1
forget that it was he who invited Mr.!
Harrlman to call upon biro and discuss I
the New York situation as between [
practical men. One can bardly over
look the fact that no word of rebuke
has ever been uttered by the president
to either Treasurer Bliss or Secretary
Cortelyon for the part they took in col
lecting and expending in the Roosevelt
behalf more than $200,000 collected
from trusts, life insurance companies
and (manciers doing business with the
gove-. '.iment. While the public memory
is notoriously short, yet people proba
bly remember that Mr. Cortelyou held
the position of postmaster general,
with its colossal patronage, while still
chairman of the Republican national
committee, and that today he would
still be holding that chairmanship if
the scandal of the secretary of the
treasury acting in such a capacity had
not been too much for the caseharden
ed consciences of United States sena
tors who refused to confirm him as sec
retary unless he resigned as chairman.
Friends of the early reformer Roose
velt woukl find sorrow if not shame in
his present utilization of ull the pat
ronage of the federal government to
advance his own ends. Ills excuse Is
that the policies which he desires to
enforce justify the means which he is
adopting. That excuse can be offered
by the most unblushing spoilsman of
any of our municipalities. It is a curi
ous one to be offered by a man whose
lifo was a protest against the spoils
system until lie found himself in a po
sition lo distribute the spoils.
