Thirty States Represented.

Tine Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa'
ton is a most exclusive body. 1t is
composed Of a regent, who is president
of the association, and a v~ice-regent
from each of the States of the Union.
Thirty States are now represented

Miss Cunningham, the first regent,
lived at Mount Vernon from 1868 to
1873, when she resigned on account of
i'll health. She died the following
year. The present regent is Mrs, Jus
tine Van Rensselaer, Townsend, of New

csentatives who called on Speaker
Cannon. 1t happened that one day
a prominent Massachusetts member
called to impress the speaker with the
easy n in which the tariff might
be revised.
"You see," declared the Massachu-
sets member, I'VE all make too much
over the difficulties in revising the
tariff. 1t would really be very sim
pie. We would only have to put hides,
wool and coal on the free list and the
country would he practically satisfied.
We might do more. but that would
really be enough. There could be no
difficulty in coming to an agreement
on that-merely a matter Of a few
weeks"
The speaker listened lntently as
he always does listen to advice. But
trailing on the heels of the Massachu-
sets member came a representative
from Illinois who also wanted to re-
wise the tariff. He started in the same
as his predecessor. He thought there
was altogether too much fuss made

1t makes no difference whether Mr..
Rockefeller be right or wrong in his
forecast of a gathering storm, his plan
for the employment of surplus labor
is a practical and profitable II and
his enumeration OF road building, riv-
er improvement, irrigation, forest pres
ervation and swamp draining, as the
truly great national problems is phil
oSophic. The work needs to be done,
and eventually 1t must be done, If the
United States is to progress. Waste
drought as well as waste by fire.
Every acre of land should be made to
pay. The government promotes re-
search and experimentation in agri-
culture, with a view to increasing the
effectiveness of tillage; there is no
reason why it should not give counte-
anc and support to reclamation of
land and the enhancement Of the fer"
tility of land already under culture.
1t is the land-the farm, which is the
pedestal of the republic.
There should be no effort to mini
mize the worth of manufactures
processes that work up the raw prod
ucts Of the earth into serviceable
forms. The ores from which are OBJ
tanned the metals Of commerce are as
much a product Of the land as corn,
wheat and cotton-not as primarily
important, but quite as necessary to
man in his present highly organized
social state. 1t Is difficult to draw
the line between some of the basic
manufactures and agriculture, for the
iron furnaces and steel mills build the
railroads and bridges which give
farmers a shortcut to markets.
French Statesman Also Predicts
Panic.
But the point is, that where manu-
features develop out of proportion to
the growth of agriculture, the world
is being turned wrong side up. Mr.,
Meline in declaring that the overpro-
duction of manufactures will lead to
an industrial crash, says; "There is
room for everyone under the sun, but
N condition of sharing up the good
things of the earth, instead of concen-
trating upon one department Of activ-
ity."

is having very little effect on them.
In fact the protectionists do not even
care to discuss that phase of the ques-
ton. A revision of the tariff with the
declared purpose to simply lower the
schedules they say would have the
same effect on the country that they
claim would follow an attack on
the tariff principles by the free-trad-
crs. They claim that merchants would
not buy goods when lower tariff rates
might still further reduce the price
they would have to pay. That condi-
tions lasting six months they fear
would upset all business conditions.
They say it might mean panic.
But they are likely to have their
views very forcibly contested by the
tariff r~evsionists next winter. The re
visionists and the men who believe in
the principles of reciprocity are band
ing together to give battle in the halls
of Congress. The citadel Is now dis
tlnctly in the control of the stand pat
tcrs and ii is to be seen what poWci
the revisionists will develop in contest
ing their a%scendancy.

"Why," he replied, cts as simple as

The Illinois representative was in
formed that he had been preceded by
a member from Massachusetts who
thought that all that would be neces-
sary would be to put coal, hides and
wool on the free list.

the Illinois speaker. "Not While 1

Of that splendid home was departing.
A Woman's Work.
To the great credit of John Angus
tine Washington 1t Is related that he
refused absolutely to consider PROPOSE
lions advanced by private companies
and individuals to purchase the estate,
to be converted later into a pleasure
resort. Think of the desecration-a
vaudeville performance on that magnl'
fcent stretch Of lawn, walters bearing
their burdens Of food and drink
through those stately halls, the daily
uproar Of irreverent crowds.
And then cane Miss Ann Pamela
Cunningham, of South Carolina, She
visited Mount Vernon in 1858 and was
shocked and grieved at the fate in
store for the historic spot. She con-
ceived the plan of rousing the women
of her beloved southland to the true
state Of affairs and enlisting their co
operation in the raising of a fund OF
$500, 900, the price asked for the house
outbuildings, wharfage, garden and
some two hundred acres of farmlands
So she went to work, and it must be
remembered that fifty years ago it took
no small amount of bravery for a
woman to inaugurate and carry on an
undertaking Of such magnitude. But
after five years of effort the whole of
the 100000 was in hand. 1t was
found impracticable to confne the
propaganda to the Southern States, so
the North was invited to assist, which
she did in generous measure.
At the close Of 1858 the Mount Yer
non estate was purchased and the title
passed to the Mount Vernon Ladies'
Association of the Union.

In this connection it Is interesting
to know that during the ten-day annual
meet Of the Board of Regents in the
month of May a banquet is given to
the Governor Of Virginia. After the
feast is ended and the toasts are 'runk,
the entire association conduct the iov-
ernor about the house and grounds,

ton, that the pact entered into SO long
ago is being faithfully kept.
1t Is the custom of the ladies of the
association to live at Mount Vernon
during the yearly session. At this
time the old home wears an air Of I'M
wonted gaiety. The kitchen gives out
the most appetizing odors, and. stimu-
lated to unusual activity by tales of the
old days, the corp Of Virginia servants
are anxious to show their fitness for
the honor of "servin' de ladies'" Even

owner of the estate. The descendants
of Washington evidently did not inherit

The TARIFF PROBLEM.
REVISION AND VISION
SENTIMENTS IN WASHINGTON.
Speaker Cannon between Two Fires
Question to be a Live One During
the Next Session of Congress.

1t is rather amusing to those who
are on the inside of the political arena
in Washington to observe the manner
In which discussions of the tariff are
conducted throughout the country. In
IN academic way the theories of the
tariff are talked over. But to the men
OF whom the real work Of revising the
tariff would devolve there are very diff
ferent considerations to influence them.
They openly declare that the tariff
ought to be revised, but they say the
danger to business interests would be
so great that they fear undertaking it.
They insist that a struggle owe the
schedules would last six months, and
that during that time the business in
terestS would be suffering Stagnation
that would afTlict the country very
sorely.
This view is secuted by the revision
lists as one that has no standing with
men who believe in doing things. They
claim that If such considerations are
to prevail there never could be Il re-
vision of the tariff.

feature OF the ominous flow of people

between the few rich and the multi

Men of clearest vision see it coming.
RockefeIler's Prophecy of Panic.
1t is what Mr.. John d. Rockefeller
sees when he predicts, as he did in a
recent interview IAN industrial crisis
of worldwide extent and unprece-
denied severity"
Mr.. Rockefeller says the crisis will
be brought on by overproduction in
all lines. The Standard Oil magnate
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1905-10-28

impends will be precipitated by over
production of manufactured goods.
He says Consumption must have its
bounds, and so with the consumption
Of manufactured articles. When "a
man has filled all his requirements in
clothes and furniture q mere lowering
of prices, which is all that mechanical
improvements generally mean nova
days. can no longer attract him.
Therefore, when the output is not re-
strained the market necessarily be-
comes choked."
Mr.. Rockefeller is specific as to the
time when the crash is to occur. 1t is
likely that he errs in this, because pre-
dictions as to periods Of depression
and r~eadjuStment are seldom fulfilled
as to dates. Crises as a rule come I'M
expected and the immediate reason is
most apt to be due to over-expansion
of credit, and overproduction of secur-
tiles than TO actual oyerproduction of
goods; but when TO the cause of over
expanded credits is added overproduc-
ton of manufactures and Il lop-sided
Industrial system recovering from the
crash is more difficult.
