to drive us out OF the -four market
of the Orient, is fair sample of the
argument used in support Of subsi-
dies. If you will consult any of the
large flour milling concerns in Mime
apolis, or other parts of this country,
they will tell you that there are al
ways more tramp steamers seeking
freights for any part Of the world
than are needed.
II cannot agree with you that the
practically unanimous attitude of the
farmers against subsidies is due to
ignorance Of the facts.
Farmers Know Situation.
''The farmers have been reading
about this subject and discussing it at
their local. state, and national grange
meetings for the past ten or twelve
years, and they are fully convinced
that it is contrary to their best inter
ests. They do not see how it would
benefit them for the foreign consumer
of their wheat or meat products to
have his freight carried at possibly
slightly lower rates.
ANY benefit which might result
from increased competition in the
ocean carrying trade would inevitably
rebound to the foreign consumers, and
not to the American farmer.
81 would call your attention to the
fact that there are many. hundreds
of business and commercial organiza-
tions in this country, and, so far as l
can learn, comparatively few are in
favor Of the subsidy bill.
Il regret as much as you do the
fact that our shipping industry, in SO
far as the foreign trade is concerned,
has fallen off so largely since 1861.
am sincerely desirous of seeing this in
dustry restored to it's former great
proportions of the worlds carrying
trade, but cannot see how the tax
payers of the country can justly be
called upon to pay money out of their
pockets toward this particular indus
try, any more than they should to pay
subsidies to local express or freight
service in the farming sections of the
country, to enable carriers to make
larger profits than they do now."

A, SIGNIFICANT HEARST VICTORY.


The denomination of Mayor Dunno
by Chicago Democrats may have an
important bearing upon national poll
tics.
In a bitter contest which has been
waged for the nomination Dunno has
had the support of Bryan's arch-ene-
N.Y. Williams Both Williams and
Dunno are classed as Hearst men.
If the Democrats win in the Chica-
go municipal election these men can
send a Hearst delegation to the next
Democratic national convention from
Illinois, the third state in the Union.
That will give Hearst 81 delegates.
New York, it is conceded, will, under
the unit rule, give him 78 more.
A neat nucleus, these 1872 votes from
only two states.
Hearst is still in politics. And he
may show Bryan few tricks in the
near future.-Record, Long Branch,
New Jersey.
From reading the editorials in Wat
sons Jeffersonian Magazine one would
conclude that Tom wasn't in love with
Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan Tom seems
to know him pretty well-Darien, Ga,

HORTON SAYS TEACHERS
SALARIES WILL Be HELD
Auditor Declares He Will
Safeguard Amount in
Dispute

The San Francisco teachers fedora
tion has received a letter from Auditor
Horton in reply to a question raised
by it as to what would be done with
that portion of the salary fund belong
ing to the evening school teachers
which they allege has been improperly
withheld by the board of education
during the fiscal year which ends June
80. In his letter Auditor Horton states
that although the school board dis
putes the right of evening school
teachers for further remuneration as
back salaries for the present fiscal
year he would hold UP the disputed
amount from the total until a settle
ment of the question has been reached
The amount which the teachers claim
is still due each of them is about
two-fifteenths of their entire yearly
salary, or approximately $50. An
effort will be made to secure this
money by a series of individual suits
at law. The executive board of the
organization met yesterday to discuss
the matter and drew up the following
resolution:
The federation hereby thanks Auditor Horton
for his announced intention of upholding the law
and urges united and concerted action on the
part OF all evening school teachers to recover the
money due them before the close of the fiscal
year. Favorable arrangements have been made
by the federation with Hillyer Mann & O'Brien
attorneys for the federation, to take the cases of
all teachers who may choose to employ them
upon nominal contribution for costs of test
suit, and on contingent fee for legal services.
Teachers should communicate with these attor-
neys any others that they may prefer at once

Scanty Trading Is Marked
by Feeble Movements
In Quotations

NEW YORK, June 22.-The stock
market was almost at a standstill to-
day. Feeble as was the drift Of prices,
1t was inconsistently downward and
upward without any apparent reason.
There was a slight recovery after the
appearance OF the bank statement,
which proved less unfavorable than
the forecasts. The loan contraction
helped TO scale down the deposits and
the reserve requirements. and the cash
decrease was much smaller than was
anticipated. II was taken for granted.

gold figured in the averages for small
proportion Of their real effect, leaving
that effect to be transferred over into

The engagement Of gold for London
was increased to $1,75O,000 today in
time for the outgoing steamer. Foreign
exchange rates were maintained
strongly today, especially for cable
transfers. in spite Of the supply of
that form OF remittance supplied by
the gold shipments. The urgent de-
mand for cable remittances was at
tributed to the approach of the London
stock market settlement. regardin g
which some anxiety is felt in London.
The sustained strength Of foreign ex-
change caused a conviction that the
gold export is TO be extended next
week.
The weekly reports by the mercantile
agencies showed some Improvement in
retail trade conditions, caused by the
more seasonable weather, but the stock
market was unresponsive to this. A

At the last meeting of the Iroquois
club the following memorial in honor
of Albert NJ. Johnson was adopted.
Peace hath her heroes as well as war Far
wortEier is the life of one who enlisted among
the soldiers of the common good than is the life
OF hin who achieves fame only through the she'd
ding of human blood. Peace has her generals
who marshal tie forces of right against the
power OF evil
In the great battles of human liberty the mil
titude takes its stand only when the victor has
been crowned. Millions denounce corruption few
Withstand the corruptor; many oppose tyranny,
few dare strike the tyrant
In this commercial age of real dollars and arti-
leges to none' applies only to those conditions
which do not jeopardize the dollar. 1t was the
mission OF Albert NJ. Johnson to proclaim that
human liberty is destroyed as efectually ny
stripping man of his material wealth as by sell
ing him into ancient bondage.
His only test of action was 'Is Il right?'' not
"Wil ii pay?'' While other attorneys eagerly
pies wealth, he always fought the despoilers.
The dollar mark commands a mightier army
than the blood of kings, and he who serves 1t re-
ceives favors beyond the ransom OF kingdom
He who opposes even If victorious, has only
virtue for reward.
that in the death of Albert NJ. johnson the SOL
diers of the common good have lost a general
whose place 1t will be hard to fill: the special
privileged class has lost foe whom they could
not vanquish: the democratic party has lost a
leader who gave promise of victory; be il further
deceased our deepest sympathy in this their sad
bereavement, in the death of kind husband
and noble father. ]. J. FLINN, President.
