PRESIDENT WILSON'S DESIRE.

At the beginning of October a small j hut distinguished audience witnessed t he signing of the Tariff Hill by Pre-I sident Wilson at White House. in a short speech which he afterwardsl made, the President said that the; , journey of legislative accomplishments! had been only partly complet 'd, and I that the second step in the emaneipa-1 lion of business was currency reform. | , Mr Wilson earnestly requested his col- ■ leagues “to go the rest of the journey” ' with fresh impulse, and added; “We! 1 have *-et the business of the country j free from lim e conditions which made-, a monopoly mu only possible but in a : sense easy and natural, but there is h

no use in taking away the conditions for a monopoly unless yon also take away the power to create a monoply, and that is a linaneia! rather than a merely clreiflastautial economic ;tower. The power to control, guide, and direct the credits of the country is the power to say who shall and who shall not huild up the industries or the country, and in which direction they shall he built and in which direction they shall not lie huilt. W e are now about to take a second step, which will he the final step in setting the business of the. country tree. That is what we shall do in the Currency Bill, which the House of Representatives has already passed, and which I have the utmost confidence the Senate will pass much sooner than some pessimists believe.” .
