Representative In Congress- Other
New York men counseled the national
banking system. John Thompson,
known long before war days to every
person who received State bank bills,
by his publication setting forth their
exchange value and the counterfeits Of
them, always claimed that he suggested
the Idea OF the national bank to Secre-
tary Chase and MIR. Spauldlng. If he

son was the first to take advantage of
the law. In his extreme old age. sitting

tered national bank. with his feet shod
IN rubber overshoes. resting with lofty
altitude upon u desk whercon millions
had been counted. he used to tell with
cnuckling glee how he outwitted some
OF his banking friends In New York
city by this achievement.
Spaulding was not a politician. at
least politics was not his vocation. A
score or more OF men were In that Con-
sress or 1862 who could have claimed
higher authority as statesmen than he
by right. His business was banking.
lie was trained as a flnancier and
Buffalo the city which has given the
United states two Presidents was his
home Yet SDaulding certainly had one
or the essential qualities of the state
man. For he was capable of acting
with certainty and swiftncss when ac-
ton was necessary. On the 3Oih pf
December, 1861 the New York banks
suspended specie payments. On that
day without advice or even consulta-
ton, SpauldlnE introduced the original
legal tender bill in the House. Spauld-
ing's measure and Secretary Fish's Gre
alton OF an international tribunal are
the only important achievements Of
New iCrk's sons in national councils
since 1860.

Stewards name suggested everything
that was politically cherished. Conk-
ing scented defeat. Evarts did not
dream OF 1t. nor believe It possible,
until the appalling figures stunned him.
Conklins acknowledged New York's
overthft,w with a sheer Evarts with
Icy gravity.
II was an implied acknowledgement
of New York's subordinution that
ConklinE wrote the sneering compli-
ment to Garfield early In the conYen-
tion's sessions. Garfield was speaking
plausibly. effectively. against the pro-
position to enforce the unit rule when
Conkiing while listening wrote. The
margin of q newspaper was sufficient
for his brief message: - congratulate
you on being the dark horse" While
the plaudts which his speech ha q
caused were almost raising the roof.
Garfield glanced ut the message which
had been handed to him by John D.
Lawson. Then he crushed the paper
and cast it upon the floor.
In 1860 after the nomination of Saw
ard the New York politicians sulked for
a while. The political captains In other
States appealed to Governor Morgan
for aid Pennsylvania and Indiana
were then October States. Curtin
must be chosen Governor of Pennsyl-
vania az Lane OF indiana, or tho
greater Battle of November would be
lost.
Curtin and Colonel Mcclure wrote IN
Tharlow Weed for aid. His only replv
to their letters was the silence OF con
tempt. Appeals were made to Cover
nor Morgan and his intimation was:
You h3ve nominated your candidate
liow eject him" Not until Moses Tay

tion It seemed for weeks as though
those who had gained the victory there
would be permitted by the New York
leaders to fight unaided throughout the
campaign. But II Ntw York could not
Command the national conventio those
who did command It were compelled TO
go pleading to New York for its aid
and influence. In II hotel parlor these
pieadelS met some reluctant, almost In
different, New York men who had polit-
ical and financial influence. Garfield
himself was there, and he there met
Levi +. Morton, but Conkling came
not. When they sought for him in his
accustomed haunts. they did not find
him. Had they gone to n house upon
West Tenth street. they would have
found the Senator pausing between the
pages of one of Ouidns novels to pour
forth in torrents Of appropriate vocabu-
larry his opinion of those politicians In
other parts who. since the birth of the
party. had made New York "of less in
fuenee to the party than It's daughter

| ACHIEVEMENTS OF FISH AND
SPAULDlNG
In constructive craftsmanship New
York has had important influence only
twice since 1850. if Mr. Stewards ser
vice In the State department. during
Linc9ln's time only reflected. as many
believed, the Presidents purpose As
the name OF Lincon had oycrShadowed
that of Seward in the Chicago convcn-
ton. so the President mastered the
Secretary of State q year later. Mr..
Lincoln put Stewards amazing PROPOSE
tion that he be made virtually Prime
Minister into the pigeon-holc for unim-
portant communications and did 1t with
SUCH silence and yet overwhelming re-
P"oach that MIR. Seward from that mo-
ment recognized his political ma ster in
the President. While Secretary OF
state, under Grant, Hamilton Fish,
who had no part in the Chicago conven-
ton OF 1860, made interna tional arbitra-
ton possible and gave the world its
first tribunal for the peaceful determines
ton of grave international disputes.
BY his service in Congress, T.. G..
Spaulding brought to New York such
honor as is deserved for perhaps the
most important, certainly the most far
reaching, financial legislation of the
war time Spaulding's share in this.
probably the greatest achievement of
modern legislative financiering has not
been fully acknowledged. Mr.. Blaine
ought to be good authority upon that
point. He Is recorded as saying that

Quoted BY Prof. spennHath.

Results Of TnterestinE Experiments Con
Quoted by Prof. sPennrath.
Prof. 6pennrath has been collecting
some useful facts as to modern expert
ence in the painting OF iron work. He
concludes that none Of the metallic
oxides commonly used combine chem
ically with liuseed oil. The drying
process depends exclusively upon an
absorption Of oxygen by the oil, which
is facilitated by the presence of the pig
ment in a mechanical way. The value
Of the different pigments used varies
Thus, zinc white, when used for outside
work. rapidly svells to double its pre-
vious volume, owing to the absorption
Of carbonic acid gas and water. Sui
phureted hydrogen viii cause red or
white lead to act in a similar way. In
order to test the relative durability Of
various paints, sheets Of zinc were
coated with a numb her OF different kinds.
The zinc was then dissolved by acid,
leaving a Aim of paint. All these films,
it was found, could be destroyed by the
action of diluted nitric or hydrocbIoric
acids. the vapors of sulphuric and acetic
acids acting similarly. Alkaline fluids
and gases also destroyed the paints
rapidly. Pure water was found to be
more injurious than salt water; the de-
structive action of sea water is there
fore to be attributed mainly to the ma
chanical effects OF wash. Hot water
acted more rapidly than cold The
most important discovery made by
Prof. Spennrath was, however, the
great influence of temperature Films
similar 10 those already mentioned COM
pletely lost their elasticity and became
brittle when exposed to a temperature
Of 2o3 degrees Fahrenheit- There was
at the same time much contraction
Similar effects We're produced by pro-
longed exposure to much lower temper
atlares. Blistering is found to result
from the inner coat Of paint being so
thick that it has not hardened thor
oughly before the second coat applied.

with such a platform we viii carry
Indiana by the largest majority ever
