Nv tary OF the treasury

B&aa<R Sherman just before he be-
N6Z1E came secretary OF state |
asked him this question
Y Senator Shermsnre replied that
he found the work Of the
A treasury no harder for him
66SSthsn that Of the United States
Senate, and that the matters with which
he had to deal in the treasury were those
with which he had been throughout his
life familiar. l asked Secretary Gage
the same question today, and he gave
me substantially the same answer. Still,

our government Its secretary has to
handle millions. He has more than
$4,000 men in his employ. and the vast
amounts of money for which he IS re-
sponsible surpass the widest dreams oil
Aladdin or the treasures Of Monte Cris-
10. The business connected with the
treasury /, enormous. 1t embraces the
whole country, and with giant hands
reaches even across the oceans, and puts
its fingers even into the vaults OF for
eipn nations. The work OF this Office in
the past has been so great that many
