Our Illinois friend is a farmer;

the land is all good; where land
values are SO high, on account
of so many people wanting it
that they must follow the in

order to make the ledger
balance. This calls for the do

THE TAMMANY T0UGHS
Alleged Secret Faction in Governments
Printery.

The attention of Public Printer Charles
A. Stillings has been called to another al
legged secret faction or society in the gov
eminent printing office known as The
Tammany Toughs." 1t is said this So
called clique was responsible for the post
ing In one of the divisions of placards
threatening any employee with summary
dismissal for putting on street clothes be-
fore the big whistle sounds for quitting
time, either at the lunch hour or in the
afternoon.
If such placards are posted without my
authority" said Mr.. Stillings, they will
come down instanter. No placards can be
posted in this establishment before they
are approved by me-"
Mr.. Stilings believes In dealing severely
with unfairness in the big printery, whether
ii is individual in character or takes or
ganized shape He indicated this when he
wiped out the symposums and banished
the racing hand books and pools from the
office.
One secret organization in the Office
known as THE Wahnetas," was put out
of business by Mr.. Oscar ]. Ricketts,, fore
man Of printing, when he was acting pub
lie printer. 1t is said Mr.. Stillings will
deal just as severely with cliques, factions
or secret clubs or societies when he finds
they are interfering in any degree with the
work of the Office or any of the employees
thereof.
He has already started an investigation
to see what manner of society the so-called
'sTammany Toughs'' is.

FRENCH MONEY CREDIT
PARIS BANKERS COME TO RES
CUE OF RUSSIAN FINANCES.

ST. PETERSBURG. January 13.-Confr-
nation has been obtained of the report that
former Finance Minister Kokovsoff has
been partially successful in his mission to
Paris. A credit Of $4,000, 600 has been OBJ
tanned from the French banks, with the
assurance of an increase in the amount
should it prove necessary to maintain the
stability of the rouble. 1t Is explained,
however, that the credit is not in the ma
ture OF loan to the Russian government,
but is simply an operation between the
Russian banks and the French banks
whereby the sum stated is placed to the
credit of the state bank as an advance
pending the time when the government can
contract q regular loan. The following
statement is made on competent authority:
Such credits placed by one state bank
at the disposal of another In times OF stress
are not infrequent. Russia has in the past
come to the rescue of the Bank of England
stringency of 1893 Russia offered to place
gold at the disposal of the American gov
eminent.
Time Inopportune for Loan.
1.-THE time is not opportune for Russia
to contract for a loan abroad, but she de-
slres to liquidate the war expenses imme-
diately, and through this and perhaps other
advances Will be enabled to tide over few
months. perhaps year. until a regular
loan can be placed to advantage. Upon
the treasury bonds authorized to the ex-
tent of $200, OO0. 600 the government may OBJ
tain funds from the state bank, but in or
der that the banks paper issue shall be
fully covered 1t is necessary to have the
full amount of gold available somewhere"
The Russian papers. with their present
mania for criticising every act OF the gov
eminent, even go to the extent OF abusing

gold standard. the Novoe Yremya declar-

ing that it Is a senseless policy, likely TO

better to altogether abandon the effort to

Mr.. Graves Remarks.

Mr.. Graves. in advoca ting higher prices
for cotton, said:
THE farmers cause is just. because he
SKIS no more than other and lesser interests
demand
The spinner and Spectator are the only
protestants against the rising price of cot
ton. The first should be persuaded that his
interests will not suffer and the last should
be ingnorant. The farmer asks no price
that is not reasonable and just. Cotton at
10 cents is not higher than eggs at 30 cents,
or butter at 80 cents, woods at 30 cents.
Acre for acre, all other standard products
bring more than cotton, and cotton fur
nishes the clothing for one-half of all hui
manity, and is the mainstay of eleven states
and 2O,O00, 900 people. Its field of service is
ever widening and its future is assured"
In closing Mr.. Graves said:
Mr.. President, the initial letters which
are written everywhere upon the documents

which will travel from this strenuous pres
ent far into a triumphant future.
