THIS IS SHAW'S VERSION
Secretary of Treasury Turns Loose a Large Bunch of Campaign Thur der In Speech In
 Missouri

St. Louis, April 26-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw spoke in Music Hall tonight under the auspices of the Missouri State League of Republican clubs. which begins a convention here to- morrow. His subject was Republican Supremacy in Missouri
 "'rhe fatal weakness of our political opponents is their incohereney." said Sec retary Shaw. They give nothing; they teach nothing; they have no plans, no policies no purposes
 "A tariff law to be successful must be coherent. A tariff law that is not built up- on principle is legislative failure and party composed of men who do not be- lieve in the principles set forth in their platform, Is a political failure.
 Political principles are es thing. nen are nothing.
 eThe two great political parties for many years have appealed to the Amer ican people from opposite standpoints Our opponents appeal to the consumer and insist that all that is essential to make us prosperous and happy Is cheap articles of consumption. The republican party on the contrary appeals to the pro ducer. The republican party declares 1t to be relatively unimportant whether the price we pay for labor or for the pro ducts of labor are high or low, provid- ing the wages paid go to our own pockets.
 The republican party has sought for the first time to build industries, it has sought to create ready market for the labor of our people by insuring a ready market for the products of labor. It has never sought to cheapen anything. It has never debased men nor cheapened the la Dor of men, nor thrown the products of American labor into open competition with the product of the less paid labor of other countries.
 The eyes of the world are on our mar kets. I am not surprised therefore at the indications of the liberal expenditures of foreign money in legitimate ways to elect candidates pledged to reciprocal tariff, and to create sentiment in favor of open ing our doors for the increased admission of competitive articles
 T am not surprised at the subtle sophstry that is being promulgated that if We will but admit competitive goods from abroad, there will Immediately be thrown open to us an unprecedented de- mand for our food products
 'I eriticise neither the enterprise or the method by which lt is sought to influence political results in this country. l recog- nize the appropriateness of both. Admis- sion to the American market is worth contest"

Washington, April 26.-Charman Fowler of the House committee on banking and currency today made a report on the bill favorably acted on by his committee sev- eral days ago, providing for the deposit of government money in national banks with out security and on which the banks are to pay ? per cent interest
 The report contends that the present system of locking up government money in sub-treasuries is hurtfu to commerce and losing plan to the government from the standpoint of economy In twenty seven years 1t says If the proposed plan had been in operation the government would have received from the banks $50 O0,0Oo in interest, and would not have lost a dollar through failures.

OFFICERS UNDERPAiD.
6onaparte Says This Is Reason First Glass Men shun Public Employment.

Atlantic City. N. J.. April 2s.-Secretary of the Navy Charles J. Bonaparte, who is president of the National Municipal league. was the principal speaker tonight at the annual convention of the league, now being held at the Hotel Chalfonte in this city.
 Secretary Bonaparte said in part:
 Why do really first-class men as a rule shun public employment In its higher grades? First, because public officers of great responsibility are grossly underpald. A little thought should serve to show that the trusts and the multi-milionaires get what they pay for, and we get what we pay for likewise; the only difference Is that they are sufficiently sensible to know they must pay for what they want in order to get it. and we are sufficiently silly to think we can get what we want without paying its fair value"
