of the Rural New Yorker, | know the

above may be simpllfed, for with an

TO turn In the water TO have the air

est point Of the tank will convey the
compressed air to the spray rig. either
to portion of the iron spray tank or
TO a separate tank, as the case may be

the spray tank would be filled half full

The charging tank should be large,
for It must be emptied as soon as It
nils completely with water, and to
gain strength 1t would be well to use
several tanks OF less size. Separate

Viewing with Alarm.

Mr.. John D. Rockefeller thinks the

Of the people and their action in with.
drawing accounts from solvent instl.

pected to be free from alarm when
they view the selfish actions Of the
trust magnates and the untoward po'
litical management OF the Republican
leaders? With financial and pc.
lltical leaders united to allow the
plundering of the people can they be
blamed for viewing with alarm" the

TOOL OF WALL STREET.
Majority In Congress Not Likely to
Effect Financial Reform.

Those who expect that congress will
enact the financial reform legislation
that Is demanded will probably be
doomed TO disappointment Some kind
OF n financial measure will perhaps
be agreed to. but 1t will fall far short
OF meeting the unfortunate conditions
that Republican policies have pro
duced. In any event, only compro-
mise measure may be expected. for
even the bankers are divided into two
schools of finance. One school believes
initiation through asset currency Will
insure prosperity and the other
school is anxious for a central bank
through which all financial blessings
should flow Those who believe in
more currency are also divided in
opinion upon what It shall be based,
whether on the assets Of the banks.
or upon bonds and stocks. There Is
also serious difference OF opinion
about the rate of interest the bankers
shall pay on this new currency, The
bankers propose per cent. and those
who are intent on n flexible currency
that will be retired as soon as it's pur.
pose Is accomplished. think that not
less than : per cent should be paid,
or 1t would continue in circulation.
Bank currency based on the
assets" OF the banks without any 9th.
er security, is return to the state
bank system that existed before the
creation Of national banks to force a
market for United States bonds. But
the people will never consent to again
use currency that Is not good any.

credit of the United States behind it,
and can be used in all business tran.
sactions without question.
