evening heard views of the prominent
socialist, James Taylor, author of the
American Currency and other books.
He regarded contraction as the undOubt
ed cause of hard times in this as in every
other nation. He suggested as a remedy
TO the depression that we substitute ma
tlonal securities for private credit. d.
II. Sperry, OF the iron foundry, Batavia,
considered convict labor one cause of
depression. He would have congress
a law requiring convict trade articles to
be stamped. j. I. Morgan, chairman of
the socialist committee appointed to
give voice to their views, denied that the
socialists were the incendiaries and
blood-thirsty lot the press represented
them to be. A socialist was man who
studied the problems of society with a
view TO regulating its ills. Education
should be general, not local. There
should be national labor bureau of sta

and the eight hour system be instituted

lists, also talked at some length.
