FIGHTING MONOPOLY.
Creation of an international trade
commisssion to deal with those who
seek a world monopoly and are in
a position to injure not only the
consumers in their own country,
but those in foreign nations as well,
was recommended by Huston
Thompson, of the Federal Trade
commission, in an address recently
before the Second Pan-American
Financial conference at Washington.
Complaints should come through
national trade commissions, Mr. |
Thompson said, and each cause tried
before representatives of the inter
national body not belonging to the
nation whose citizens were involved
in the litigation.
"The definition of what was an
unfair trade practice before this!
commission could be found in the
trade practices already condemned
by the laws of many nations, both
ancient and modern,” Mr. Thomp
son said, “the rulings of the re
spective trade commissions, the
‘trade practice submittal lists,' such
as our commission has already re
ceived from some of our industries,
the pronouncements of political
economists, and above all, in the
common sense of those before whom
the case was presented after inves
tigation anti hearing.
“In the universal publicity of the
findings of such a bodji would lie
the corrective.
“I have been asked who would
police the committing of the of
fenses. The answer is the same as
in our domestic business—the com
petitor. Is there non every reason
to believe that under the inspira
tion of the respective national trade
commissions the industries in each
nation would write their own ‘trade
practice submittal list' of unfair
practices just as they are doing in
this country?”
A national trade mark, established
by Congress, as a means of increas
ing national pride and controlling
the quality of goods exported from
the United States, also was urged by
Mr. Thompson. Failure on the part
of an exporter to deliver goods of
the same grade and quality as sam
ples would be sufficient cause for
refusing permission to use the trade
mark.
HAWAII WANTS REFORMS.
Legislation to effect important
changes in land leasing and home
stead rights is to be sought from
Congress by Hawaii’s legislative com
mission, which, it is expected, will
arrive in Washington, D. C.. early
this year.
The program of legislation sought
is embodied in a series of concur
rent resolutions adopted by the Ha
waiian legislature. One of these
resolutions asks statehood for the
territory.
Governor Charles J. McCarthy
heads the commission, and others
include Attorney-General Harry Ir
■win, Senator Robert W- Shingle,
Senator John H. Wise, secretary of
the commission; Representative Will
iam T. Rawlins, and Representative
Henry J. Lyman.
The members of the commission.
it is announced, will initiate no dis
cussion of the Japanese question.
Authority to incur public debt
in an amount 3 percent in excess
of the amount fixed by present
laws—7 percent—is to be sought
from Congress. The present debt
is £10,894,000. The additional mon
ey is said to be seriously needed
for road building and schools.
Another proposal is that the gov
ernor, land commissioner and land
board be given the right to pass
upon qualifications of applicants for
homesteads to assure that “the re
maining small body of agricultural
land should be settled by a class of
farmers who will remain the active
owners thereof and interested and
actively concerned in its develop
ment."
Other petitions to Congress ask:
A law requiring residence of not
less than one year in Hawaii for
eligibility to appointment to federal
office in the territory.
Extension to Hawaii of the farm
loan act and the reclamation act of
June 17, 1902.
Collection of toll by harbor board
on all freight passing over terri
torial wharves.
I Increases in salaries for the gov
fernor, judges and members of the
i legislature.
I Authority for governor to appoint
|a commission to investigate feasi
bility of establishing a free port in
| Hawaii.
! Appropriation of §1,000,000 for
| roads, pipe lines and waterworks in
j homestead tracts.
; Permission for Hawaii to retain
50 percent of all customs and in
ternal revenue collected in the ter
ritory. '
I Long time leases on arid lands
lunon which water may be brought.
REVIVAL OF SILVER.
i
i
The haste with which silver miners
| abandoned their claims after the
demonitization of silver in 1873
.was amazingly illustrated by the
relocation, by Helena, Montana, men,
| recently, of a mine that promises
I to be rich and that, though worked
'.during a period of several years,
never was patented.
More than that, it seems not to
i
ihave been visited since abandoned.
The reloeators found old shovels,
with the wood almost eaten away,
just where they had been dropped.
There is no means now for de
termining to whom the mine, which
is situated some miles from Helena,
once belonged. Ore abandoned in
the shaft is declared to have assayed
so rich that a company to work the
claim was formed at once.
The demonitization of silver prob
ably reduced, in a day, a rich mine
to a failure. With silver at the pres
ent price, the ore discovered will
pay very well, it is said, and may
i mean a fortune.

MEXICAN DOLLAR
SHANGHAI. — While Americans
have been buying British pounds
sterling in New York for $3.70 or
less, Americans here have been pay
ing $100 in American gold for 7*i
Mexican dollars, which are in cur
rent use here.
this unprecedented advance in the
rate of exchange in Shanghai has
been due to the acute rise in the
price of silver. Probably no coun
try in the world has been more
sharply affected by this enhanced
value of silver than has China.
In consequence of the confused
state of exchange, the foreign trade
through this city, China’s principal
commercial center, became more or
less disorganized. Exporters ceased
to look for new business and con
fined their activities wholly to filling
old contracts from the terms of
which they would have been glad to
escape.
Shanghai bankers held frequent
conferences day and night in an
effort to determine what might be
done to stabilize the exchange rates.
For one day, ail but one of the
leading banks in the city declined to
issue drafts in connection with ex
port shipments to America. Those
exporters who buy their goods in
China for silver and sell them
abroad for gold suffered most se
verely. They were obliged to re
strict operations or raise prices
wherever the goods were sold.
On the other hand, importers who
buy their goods in America and are
paid for them in Mexican dollars
have prospered.
One of the difficulties arising from
the exchange situation is that much
of the business here is done under
terms arranged, several years ago,
when an American dollar was worth
two Mexican dollars or more. Con
sequently foreign workers here have
suffered.
The bankers concluded that one
solution of the problem would be
to increase the price of China’s
products throughout the world.

| HOLE IN HUN BORDER;
GERMAN GOODS ESCAPE
! e
KATTOWITZ, Upper Silesia.—
There is a hole or gap in the east
ern customs border of Germany, as
well as in the west, and through
both, it is charged, articles of lux
ury and German money are flowing.
Illegal traders from Poland slip
through the German lines every day
and return to Poland with whatever
they can purchase in the way of
< shoes, clothes, textiles, sugar, and
food, much of which Germany wants
to retain for her own use, but which
■ are greatly desired in Poland.
There is no border and, no hind
rance of this trade. It is alleged
that the goods thus shipped from
' Germany into Poland run up into
I millions of marks.
