Correspondence of the Bait. Patriot
WASHINGTON, March 9, 1913.

The official organ of Mr.. Polk
consratulates the country, that the
Rothschllds, the great British Bankers
and Capitalists, are investing their mo-
ney in our stocks How is this. And
how is it that Mr.. Trist, who was re-
called from Mexico, dsgraced and de-
nonnced by Mr.. Polk and the Govern
mrnt, no sooner sends Treaty from
Mexico drawn up, planned by, concoc-
ted, and in the handwriting of Mr..
Macintosh, the British Banker and Cap
italist in the city of Mexico, than Mr..
Polk is very much, very dee ply and
earnestly concerned that the said Muck
iDtosh Treaty should be ratified and con-
frmed.
Why, have not the good people of
Tennessee heardthis same Mr.. Polk on
the stump, over and over again denoun-
cling in vehement terms, the employment
of British capital by our countrymen-
accusing the Wings of acting under
British innuencc-and proclaiming that
the late United States Bank was under
British control and owned by British
capitalists And now his Treasury De-
partment gives out its loans to British
capitalists, and his organ boldly glories
in what has been done, and hopes the
British capitalists aforesaid will continue
to invest their money in our loans, and
more and more connect themselves and
their interest with the operations Of our
Treasury Department!
Is there no hypocricy in all this
In the House, to-day, good deal of
time was consumed in debate upon Mr..
Evans bill, securing the land bounty to
such privatcs as may be promoted to Of
fees in their commands. The bill is a
popular one. A Wing has reported it,
and urged its adoption with a manly
spirit and in eloquent terms. This seems
not to SUIT the LocoioCo>. Sothey >trove f.
to-day, first to prevent Mr.. Evans from
speaking, upon the ground that he had
already addressed the House on the sub
ject, and next by offering amendments
in lieu of the bill, so as to take from HIM
and from the Wing side Of the House the
credit Of carrying it through. The Lo-
cotoco members evidently believed the
bill, if passed, would be a capital cleo
tioncerlng hobby for their ride before
the people, and hence five or six them
made speeches about it and great efforts
to amend it. Mr. Jacob Thompson, Of
among others, seemed to be
very much concerned to know why this
particular bill should be pressed to pas
sage any more than any other bill con
tanning the same proviSions,--He did not
like to see the bill pushed through with
such urgency!
Finally, by the aid of several " higs,
the opponents of Mr.. Evans bill sue
ceedcd it referred to the committee Of
The whole House on the State OF the I'M
on-where it may be amended to suit a
majority of the House, and passed-or it
may not!

Where the dancing waters pour,
Near strcam!ct's sunny shore,
Lives lassic adore;
A lovely girl Of Delaware.
Her namc-ler name cannot tell,
Lest breathing it should break the spell
That holds my heart, but yet, fall well,
You'll know the little damscl fair.
BY the sparkling of her eye,
BY her lips of coral dye,
by her voice Of music nigh;

By al the sweetness you may trace,
BY all the love, the life and grace,
Seen only in the fair young face,
OF her, my girl ofDclaware.
Playful as flwn is she,

Kind and modest, gay and free;
All lovely, blilhcsomc, bright and fair
But I'll not dare to tell her more,
Lest she d be prouIer than before;

Magazine, simple mode Of grating
grave vines is described, which in sub

stock as in cleft grating; let the scion be
of one years wood with two or three
buds, make it wedge shape, and insert in
the cleft; if the cleft does not hold it
sufficiently firm, secure it by binding it
tight; draw the earth over the whole,
leaving a second bud from the top UNI

stock and scion, except one, and train as
usual. We think those who have I'M

IMPORTANT MISTAKE DlscovEREp.-
according to the money article of the
Philadelphia Bulletin, the Secretary of
Treasury has made another mistake in
his figures, having oversoId the Treasury
notes within his control, which turn out
to be but S3,20O,0O0 instead Of So
100000. The effect of this discovery
is to strike off all the lowest bids to the
extent ofSl 100000. This is an ugly
blunder, il 1t be so.

SUSPENDED The Montour Rolling Mill, a:

their contracts for railroad iron having all been
filled. No new contracts can be made under the
prcnt state Of the iron trade, because foreign
rails are now offered and poured INTO this coun-
try at price SO low as to prevent competition
from our manufacturers A large number Of
hands aavc thus been thrown out ofcmploy. A j
this is the legitimate result of the Locoioco free
trade ad raiorem Tariff OF 1916. For the last
two or three years, the demand for Iron in Ely
land has been very great, and prices correspon-
dinghy high, which enabled our operators to 60
on and do profitable business, as they were not
compelled to compete with the European pri-
ces but as soon rs revulsion took place in the
foreign market, iron fell in price, and, under
the principles of our abominabie Tariff, the duty
lowered in the same ratio, so much 50, as to al
low Enulsh rails to be sold in this country, at
the present time for something like $500 per
toi-a price at which it cannot be manufacture
ed here, under the present state Of wages, cost

most under this Locofoco system of Revenue
laws, we have the least Of t-and thus the for
eirn manufacturer is enabled to pour in his IRON
