It is the last chance the democracy is likely to have for many years to originate Jegislation on any sub- Ject, and it is to be presumed the party will endeavor to make the most of it. If the southern representatives can e induced to abandou their demand for the unconditional repeal of the tax on state bank issues agreement on some of the numerons compromise plans that have been and will be proposed may he effected, but this cannot be regarded as probable. They are so fully committed to the idea that this tax is unconstitu- tional and that it contravenes the rights of the states that they are not likely to yield, and they have the power to pre- vent legislation. There is in any event, however, not much probability of any- thing being done arding the currency by this congress, for the reason that it is most unlikely that any plan upon which the demoerats might agree would | be aceeptable to the republicans. In that case the republicans of the senate could prevent legislation. The great importance of the currency problem is conceded by men of all | ties. In a few years there will be no government bonds available as security for the eirculation of the national banks, and it would manifestly be unwise to wait until that time Is reached before making other provisions for a bank cur- rency.

It is said that under the au- thority given the president by the law providing for the Inspection of meats intended for export from the United States, he ean lay an indefinite embargo on German wines on the ground of their frequent adulteration. In the opinion of the secretary of ag culture such a course would ver) quickly bring the German government to terms, because the wines and liquors imported from that country are of much greater value than the American cattle Seer ‘tary Morton Is quoted as saying: “It seems to me that the demands of France and Ger- many in regard to meat inspection haye passed the bounds of reason. It costs the United States $500,000 a year to conduct the various inspections and ¢ tifications of meat products, and it is practically done at the behest of these countries.” He said he was in favor of both those countries to in- speet and stamp, as inspected and found pure, every bottle of wine they send to us, if we are to submit to this constant interference with our meat and eattle trade.
