cost very materially. He called on MIR.
McNamee at the Vanderbilt estate and
wanted to let Mr.. McNamee in on the
ground ilccr. He first placed the price
OF his wonderful recipe at $500, but
finally dropped to $50, which seemed
reasonable for genuine bonanza.
Bat it wasn't Mr.. McNamee's day to
buy "a pig in poke" Fink had a
recommendation from the Asheville Cot

WASHINGTON, March 29-When Judge
Bradley took his seat in the Pollard case
this morning Carlisle, for the plaintill,
requested that two witnesses ior Miss
Pollard be allowed to testify. They had

made 1t necessary for them to 90 home.
As result OF Il conference the defense
agreed to hear the two witnesses. They
were JohnE. Btuckart and Stephen Dunn
OF Lexington, Ky, the latter colorcd

Singleton, disreputable woman, never

Stephen Duun's testimony was f,l.

ot Mrs. Mollle Miller, nee Shingleblower,
OF Memphis. Tenn, who said she came
to Washington to testify at the request

knew Miss Pollard and Miss Polard's
aunt, Mrs. Stout, with whom she lived
in Frankfort and Bridgeport, Kv. She
met Miss Pollard in 1877, when the lat.

A PRESIDENTIAL FROST
1T CUTS MIR BLAND'S SEIGN-
IORAGE TREE DOWN
No silver Fruit From The silver
Orchard While Grover Can Blow
His Chilling Gold Standard
Breath On 1t,

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Presi,
dent sent to the House today his veto
Of the Bland seigniorage bill.
He reviews the financial conditions,
and says that the recovery, being so well
under way, nothing should be done to
check convalescence.
His main objections to the bill are its
unfortunate construction, nearly every
sentence inviting controversy of con
struction; and he adds that it will not
maintain the parity of the two metals.
He says the present perplexities and EN-
barrassments of the Secretary of the
Treasury ought not to be augmented by
devolving upon him the execution of a
law so uncertain and confused
The President is convinced that the
scheme proposed by the second section
OF the bill is illadvised and dangerous,
and that its ultimate result would be to
replace the legal tender treasury notes
by silver certificates, which are not legal
tender.
The President closes by urging the de.
STABILITY of granting to the Secretary of
the Treasury better power than now ex.
lists to issue bonds to protect the gold
reserve. If this could be done he thinks
that the bullion seignioragc now in the
treasury could be safely coined.
AT 1925, while the roll of the House
was beiog called on the contested ONE l. |
Joy election case, Mr.. Pruden, the presi |
dents executive clerk, appeared at the
bar OF the House and transmitted the
Presidents special message vetoiug

himself broke the seal.
One glance was enough. "Itis veto,
said lie. and the word was passed from
lip to lip. The news was received with
a mixture ofjoy and sorrow. A few of |
the Eastern Democrats plumed them
selves on the accuracy of Their predc-
tions, but to the vast majority the news
OF veto was severe blow, and their
expressions of dissatisfaction in some
cases were loud and emphatic, The Re.

than the abolition of the bill:

than the abolition OF the bill:
In taxing citizens for the support of
the government. it seems to be cleaA
that justice would demand some recog-
milton of their respective abilities to
furnish the necessary revenue. And
that which is not just is not expedient.
The individual with an income suffi-
Gent to meet all his legitimate ordin-
airy expenses and some TO spare, should
be better able to bear the burden of
taxation than one who can scarcely
earn enough for common necessaries
and who has to struggle to keep him
self and family above actual want
The rich, too. enjoy a greater share
Of governmental protection than the
poor and should therefore contribute
more to the support of the government
which renders that protection.
The system of taxation of incomes
has worked well in England for many
years. The same opposition as is now
waged against it by the representatives
of the wealthy, was used there and the
objections now put forward failed to
prove valid. 1t is a system which is
favorable to the classes least able to
bear the weight of expenses that must
Ibe met from some source. and viewing
lit from all sides is equitable. while it
is more simple than almost any other
mode of raising revenue that is in prac-
tlce in the civilized world.

ENGLIsH VIEWS on SILVER.

1t may be interesting to some of our
readers to learn how the London pa
pers regard the silver situation. We
do not copy the following by way Of
endorsement by any means, but simply
as AN expression of their views. We see
no real help to the cause of silver in
anything less than the restoration of
its free coinage.
The Times, commenting on the low
price of the white metal. says:
How far the collapse of silver is
due to a simple panic remains to be
seen. India pauseS in her absorption
and until d strong new demand arises,
fears of the accumulation of a stock
will tend to depress the value of the
metal. 1t is out of the question that
governments viii combine to protect
silver. That strong private holders,
seeing how small is the margin of
supply to be kept off the market, will
step in, is also doubtful because no full
recovery of confidence in finance is yet
apparent. 1t is only certain THAT the
low price will both curtail production
and extend the consumption until the
decline will be arrested and probably
reversed"
In an anticle on the same subject the
Telegraph declares that:
The fall in silver will revive the dis
cussion in favor Of bimetallism, but
England is not likely to recede from
the position she took at the late Brus-
sells monetary conference The fact is,
the collapse is due to reproduction
The lower price is likely to check this
although some mines, it is said, are
able to clear a. profit with silver at is
pence per ounce, or even less.
This paragraph is taken from the
Daily News:
"a full trial has just been given in
the United States under the most IA
vorable auspices to attempt to support
the price of silver by artificial means.
The failure has been so absolute that
it is difficult to believe that other gov
ernmentS or a combination of govern
ments should seriously undertake the
task.
The silver and rupee markets have
been thrown into a state of consteIna-
ton. Hereafter there will be no ap-
parent limit of the decline of exchange.
Nevertheless, while a further fall is ad-
mitted to be probable, there is a DISPOSE
ton in well-informed quarters to take
a calmer view of the future course of
exchange. Moreover, the spot supplies
of silver are very small, and there are
indications in America and elsewhere
iof a reduction of the output"
The Standard is of the opinion that:
A further fall of the price of silver
would not be surprising The question
of reopening the mints in India is
freely discussed.
As ITO the American product. the cost
of mining and other matters connected
with the industry. a great many Eng
lish people who think they know all
about it, are as misinformed on the
subject as are hosts of the fnanciers
and politicians of the United States.
