The urgency of some radical reform in the currency system of the country is a iparent, not only to the financiers of Vail street, but to bankers and mer chants throughout tlie entire country. There is little doubt that pressure from ( ry section of the I'uited States will be brought to bear upon the coming c egress to make certain absolutely ii ••• ssary changes in our antlqtiated lieaietary system, the inelasticity of j which is becoming more and mor*.- n ! source of embarrassment and danger j Ti, • chamber of commerce and a com mi-'.ci! of prominent bankers have pro vii'ed a plan which would undoubtedly | afford the relief desired, but there is little hope of its adoption in its entire ty because of the political prejudice and the bucolic bigotry of the great majority of the national lawmakers. The idea of the central bank is accept ; ed as the best solution of this per plexed question. It is doubtful, howev er, if even the suggestion will be made i in congress that such a bank be created i under the national law.

Coiigressnian McCall, who is Demo cratic on the tariff question, manages to keep in congress from Massachu setts by the aid of a Republican tag.

Mr. Mel 'all, Mr. I oss an i others, not to overlook <iov riior Ctiild, are chiefly responsible for the disl.idgmeiit of the Republican par ;y in Massachusetts from two funda mental Republican positions. The •onsequence. is that Massnrhusetts, vhich under really Republican im '•ulses would go uniformly for the iioosevelt article, is alternately eclips e,l by mug.Miinpery or by Ben But r radicalism.
