nar,e Dots From His Trip.

Wv men and fewer women know
nan to talk and what to say. Sen
~ Mills has shown his greatness
hiding his time about saying
thing on the "situation." The
.ser lights of congressman and
majors have all had ga say" and
e men like Mills, Cleveland and
hers of their sort, have illustrated
cannon minds very soon reach a
Inclusion; great minds first think,

bel Mills boarded our sleeper at
orsicana en- route to Washington
ity via Chickamauga, to perform a
m mission under the government
locate the position of his regi.
emit on that battlefield. After
pching with us Colonel Mills dis
,ssed the issues of the day in a
ery lucid way. He explained his
lence, saying he had been sick and

oked weak and pale. He stated
lrther that he had been impor-
med by newspapers, letters and in
.rson for an expression of his
ews on the present monetary stu
ion, but declined all. first, be-.
|use he was sick; second, because
e time had not come for an ex.
Fession, and third, because he did
bt think the silver question re-.
bonsible for the present money
r;ngency.
When we asked: "From a bust
1913 standpoint what is the cause
ID what the cure for the present
onetary situation, and what, in
bur judgment, will congress dor"
q senator proceeded to answer
is three barrel!ed question about

Gman law will likely not be re-
He'd without a substitute. A
mpromise measure will be adopt
no doubt"
Second. AS to the cause of this
plish and uncalled for panic he
d: "About ten thousand men
esess from one to two hundred
llions of money each. They
(nted to force this administration
issue more bonds. The begin.

country. A very strong inhu.

Pretary of the treasury. They
Inted them to say to issue bonds
the only relief. Building rail-
lds, money in factories and such
ngs necessitated thought and
)rry, but investment of large
ms bring it's certain rewards, re-
firing neither much thought or
rry. Again, the tariff reform
posers want to divert the minds
the people from the great ques-
n aud cover up the real issues by
silver question.
The idea we got from the sena.
is that the republican party is
party for the rich and these pro.
ted monopolists; the democratic
fty for the masses. And the
uses were getting the lesson of
Fif reform very rapidly, as shown
the last election. The senator
d. owe need a market for our
ton, grain and meat, 70 per cent
our cotton must find a market
Jay from home. This low price
our products makes it doubly
|rd on those who produce cotton,
ain, etc,-for they must sell low
ID buy hight manufactured arti-
Is. This is simply tax and the
(ople are fast learning this. Con-
less must act upon this great ques-
pn."
Third. These fellows who are
the bottom of this panic have
lled and many of them have died
their own medicine and the cure
rapidly coming without con-
Jess.
We wish we could give all of
o.. Mills' talk. 1t would do good.
o confess to an admiration for
rs great man we never had before.
