Gives His Reasons for Refusing to Sell
Monticello


NEW YORK. April, 15-The following
is the reply Of Jefferson NJ Levy to Mr.
w. ]. Bryan's proposal to purchase Mon
ticelo
MY Dear Sir:-Your letter of March
2eth just received. | am glad to know
that / have not passed out Of your recol-
lection after the severe strain YOU have
undergone since we last met. You will
recall that at the time you passed those
few days with me at MontiNlo 1 pre-
dicted you would be nominated FOR
President.
"As to your inquiry about Monticello.
let me say that all the money in the
Treasury OF the United States would not
buy Monticello. You must bear I'm mind
that the homestead Of jefferson has been
in my family since early in 1890. that II
II was not for my family Monticello
would not be In existence to-day. When
Commodore (then lieutenanD L.. T.. Lew,
at the request OF President Jackson, pur-
chased Monticello. IL was fast falling into
decay. and in a short time ii would have
been in ruins. From that time aouti-
cello was kept up as jefferson lefC IL,
until the late war. when the COnfede-
rate States COnfscated and sold the prop
orty. ! reclaimed IL When lecame AZ age,
at very large expense. and every year
since / have expended many thousands
OF dollars In order that Monticello might
be kept up. for the pubNc's enjoyment
in the way the noble carer Of its founder
demands No restrictions whatever are
placed on the public's visiting Month
cello-they enjoy fully as much freedom
in this respect as II 10 were owned by
the government or an association.
1T is a matter Of personal and family
pride with me that Monticello be kept
up. not for my own enjoyment. but in
honor Of the immortal principles for
which jefferson stood, the maintenance
Of which were never more important to
the country than at the present time. l
think J may say tnat i have lived up TO
this rule IN a way Of which the most eX-
acting critic could not complain.
'As 20 its value, l beg TO say that no
sum of money would compensate me for
deriving me of Monticello. j have re-
fused several large offers. the amounts Of
which j do not mention. but very tempt
ing D man of moderate means, like my
self who must make extra efforts 10
maintain it in the way do, out of vene-
ration for jefferson memory.
Some years ago the Hon William NJ
Evarts. then Secretary of state, urged
me 10 allow him to ask Congress TO pur-
chase Monticello Ny answer was.-'Mr.
Secretary. If YOU offered me all the
money that this room the Secretary
private Office i'm the State Department.
would hold YOU could not tempt me.
His answer was.-'Wcn, Mr. Levy, l ad-
mire you and do not blame you.
ALSO. please remember my uncle. as
early as 1893. presented TO the United
States government the only bronze
statue il has Of Thomas jefferson. SO
YOU perceive that this admiration Of my
family and of myself for the founder OF
the Democratic party IS Of long standing.
You must be convinced that Mont-
cello could not receive from any associa-
ton or from the national or state gov
ornment the anxious care it receives from
me. or be in better hands

UINT 10 CUT RITES.
Western Railroads Think That a Good
Way to Stir Up Business.

Way to Stir Up Business.
CHICAGO. April 1j.-Some Of the
western roads are openly advocating a
reduction of passenger rates TO what
they call en- "emergency basis" The fea-
son they give for thoir wish 10 cut the
rates H. that the passenger business is
dead and some measures are needed TO-
increase the volume Of traffic. The Op-
ponents of lower fares say II the rates
are reduced there may be some trouble
i'm view of the Supreme Courts decision
getting the rates back 10 their old basis
again without taking some action that
would be Illegal They think also that Il
would be most unadvisable AT the pres
ent time 10 reduce any rates for the rea-
son that it will give the various Legis-
latures Of the western States an idea the
roads can make money with the rates az
a lower point than they are now and
that hostile legislation will ,nsue.
The advocates OF the lower rates have
no argument 10 offer, save that the
cheap rates wilt stir up traffic, and II
il once begins 10 move IL will keep mov-
ing, even after the rates have been re-
stored to their cid level There IS no
chance Of a concerted reduction in rates.
but as long as there is a strong element
which favors the reduction Of the rates
a general feeling of insec urity Will pre-
vail among the roads.
The general con mittee Of passenger
agents Of the western ROADS which has
for two weeks been working on the new
agreement sor the association, has I'M
ished its labors. The agreement is prac-
tically the same as the old agreement
with the exception that it contains no
provision regarding the maintenance OF
rates. There is no doubt that IL will be
adopted by the executive officers practi-
cally as 1t stands.
