Now, suppose I am trsmplng on
ground that will not be approved; and !
am going to go back and show you how
the treasury note was first started. The
treasury note was commended by Thomas
Jefferson, the great father of the Repub-
llcan party, and Of the DemoCrotic party
the grandfather of both OF them. Mr..
Jefferson said:
Bank currency must be suppressed and
the circulation restored TO the nation where
it belongs.
That was right; that 10 good Demo
cratic doctrine; and that was good Re
publican doctrine before that party was
vaccinated with virus Of Wall street. For
years that doctrine was in force. The
first Issue Of treasury notes was In 1912,
soon after the close Of Mr.. Jefferson's sd
ministratlon. 1t was under Mr.. Madison.
Prior to 1860 there were twenty issues
Of those treasury notes-Rll of them re-
ceivsble for duties on imports, and none
of them at any time went below par as
compared with coin. During the Mexi-
can war, In 1846, these notes were 6 per
cent. above coin In the middle Of Mexico.
For the benefit Of gentlemen who do
not agree with me, / will throw out this
statement, that no paper money ever Is

States, or by the government Of Great
Britian, II receivable 10 the revenues Of

tomoloSical specimens which belonged
to the late Harry Edwards. the actor,

transferred by Mrs. Edwards to the
museum. No one knows precisely how
many specimens are in the collection,
for there is no record of hundreds and
thousands of minute specimens. Tht
collection has been given In round num-
bers at $4,000 specimens. A count of
each case is to be made before being
placed on exhibition, and those who have
examined the collection believe that
there are nearer 800 900 than 250, 600. The
collection is one of the most complete In
the world, and there are no private col
lections which approach it in number
and variety. Three times Mr.. Edwards,

habit of farmers to keep their eggs un-

They gather the eggs here and there,
