It is remarkably strange that with all
the shouting against unemployed and
employed money, as an enemy Of the
clined during the last thirty years, and
is to-day at the lowest level it has ever
reached. If money could SO effectually
crush the life out Of people as is
charged, how is it that 1t is to-day going
begging for investment? And 1t may be
added that it finds it not because Amer
lean industries are not protected as the
Republican party proposes they shall be.
To insure money Of the people good In
vestment industrial activity and general
prosperity must flow from protection of
American industries.

The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1896-07-16

Mr.. Mckinley put a whole sermon of
truth into a sentence of few words when
he said in his speech the other day that
the employment of the idle millions of
dollars in the country will put at work
at gainful employment the tens Of thou
sands Of idle workers in the land. But
how is this to be done? Why, by estab-
fishing protection under which the in
dustrial wheels now idle may turn and
the motive power Of which is the money
now unemployed. And. by the way, this
is not the money of the very rich. By
no means; that is mainly locked up IN
heavy investments throughout the land.
The idle money that will find employ
ment under protection is the money Of
the small owners mainly, the millions
stored up In savings and seeking &C
tivity, but unable to find a field for it.

IL. E. TAYLOR.
A Little Party Dropped I'm Simply for
Drink.

Fl. E. Taylor Of Cornwall, in a deposition
taken at Middlebury April 4, said he was
farmer, represented his town at Montpelier,
and was then road commissioner. In answer
to a question as TO having liquor in the Van
Ness house he said -
A. Well, in explanation of that I must
state the circumstances. | remember being
at Montpelier within the last four years 10
hear Thos. b. Reed, and also for James J.
b. | listened to a speech of his. | think
1t was in the Daytime. | presume l shall
get confused in this matter. A mans mind
sometimes in this matter does get confused.
| think we had a convention at Mont
peier and there were there parties running
for office. A frequent visitor at the
capital was Mason Colburn. We were
quite friends. He asked me to nominate at
this time friend of his from Arlington-or,
rather, to second the nomination. Later we
found ourselves in Burlington. | think
Thos. B. Reed was to speak in Burlington
that evening in company with the machine
bosses. Mr.. Wilds, think, was chairman.
Mr.. Wing was not in it. But think Mr..
Colburn and William B. Wright of Orwell
found ourselves at the depot in Burlington,
along she evening. And their habits,
Think won't youch for your humble SER
Vant-were a little bit convivial. | don't
know who spoke about it. How we
got up town later / can't tell
you. How we did / can't tell you,
but we did. We found ourselves up town
| think this was in the early evening" can't
tell you, but l think so. | know we listened
to the speech of bIr. Reed afterwards. There
was something said about having somethin z
to drink. Mr.. COlburn was in the party.
Something was said about going somewhere
to get something to drink. | haven't got but
one boast to make-l never took drink in
a saloon. Mr.. Colburn made the remark: he
says, Come with me-" / was glad to fol-
low him of course. He went for the Van
Ness house. l walked up pair of stairs.
He went along out. / don't remember
whether he had said anything TO
any bell boy or clerk, because / didn't know
anyon there-not even the acting proprietor
of the house. Whether he opened room,
whether he was given room, or whether he
asked for room, can't tell You. ! know
we went into room. / think there was Mr..
b. +. Haskell of Cornwall and Mason Col
burn, and whether one or two more / can't
tell you. | know there is always more than
you expect at such gatherings. l know
three of us were in there certain, and Mr..
Colburn ordered the bottle of whiskey.
Whether the person he ordered 1t from was
bell boy or clerk don't know. / shouldn't
have thought it was a waiter, because he
didn't have on dress suit. But he was an
attache of the house, should
say, from his general appearance. lie
went out and brought in bottle
of whiskey. Together we sampled it. We
didn't get intoxicated. so | can't vouch fol
its Intoxicating qualities.
Q. How was it paid for? A. don't
know, sir. l can't tell. Mr.. Coburn paid
| his own bills. Whether he slipped some
thing quietly into the hand of some one,
can't tell you.
