est officials seem to quail, and the
masses of the people whose toll is
held under obligation to meet these
arbitrary and artificial demands.
This is the struggle of the future,
and its peaceful solution favorable
to good government and the people,
is for the masses to control their own
affairs, and to become Independent of
Wall street and the whole stock job
bing crew. And this is not so diff
cult a problem as it seems. Ii.
wage laborers are already organized
SO as to protect themselves from the
hand of capital when it becomes too
heavy and oppressive, and to fairly
secure to themselves reasonable bene-
fits from their toll. It only remains
for the farming classes to make their
organization strong enough to secure
reasonable incomes by determining
the prices at which their products
shall sell, and to secure those prices
by proper control of the markets.
This at once places the two great
classes, the classes necessary to the
world s progress and comfort, in po-
sition to secure justice for them
selves independent of all other class
es. The next and only remaining
step is to create system of financial
institutions entirely independent of
Wall street and its stock jobbers; in
stitutions that will do a strictly ag-
ricultural banking business until the
needs of the agricultural classes are
met, and that shall be prohibited from
dealing in stocks, bonds and securi-
ties other than farm mortgages. Ag-
riculture, the greatest business on
earth, and the only business absolute
ly essential to the life of the world s
people, is abundantly able to estab-
hsh such a system, and then Wall
street may rave, manufacture panics,
discuss money markets and engage in
"frenzied finance" still the indus
trial world can move on, unaffected or
undisturbed, whether stocks go up or
down, and presidents and courts may
discharge their duties without fear
of gang of greedy spectators that
plead in the name Of widows and or
phans whose financial blood they suck
with the Unsuitable greed Of vamp-
Tres.
The President may know that there
is in swift preparation a bigger stick
than that welded by Wall street.

everyone LII business lnrOugnOuC the
country is wondering what is going to
happen next, and what line of busi-
ness is going to be confscated.
But for the good crop reports
given us this year, we would have
panic in this country to-day that
would astound the world.
You alone can put an end to these
conditions within a day, because the
American people love you and We
have all looked up to you as the great
est man on earth.
81 beseech, in behalf of the widows
and orphans and the millions of IA
borers In this country, that you do
something to restore confidence, re-
gardless of your present feelings. Do
this and you will go down III history
as the greatest man that ever lived
In the world"
We are given only portion of the
letter, and it is said the President
listened attentively' while it was
being read aloud to him, and that he
acknowledged the receipt of it im-
mediately. Then comes the most sig
nifcant part of the New York dis
patches.
cit was finally reported that Sec
retary Root, of the State Department,
and Assistant Secretary Bacon, had
entered the office of J. P. Morgan &;
Co. This was a signal that the ad-
ministration was relenting and would
not let raiders hammer the stock
market any further at present; and as
Assistant Secretary Bacon shook
hands with J. P. Morgan, Jr., an elee-
trio thrill passed through the mob
and it stopped selling. Reading felt
the advance first, and advanced two
points while the mob held its breath.
Then Union Pacific started upward,
and within a few minutes copper,
sugar, Great Northern, st. Paul, and
even smelters;; had joined in a wild
scramble for higher levels. The ad-
vance continued until some of the
leaders had scored gains of two to six
points from the bottom"
We give this only as press dispatch
from New York. 1t may be true, or
it may be only picture drawn in
the vivid imagination of a reporter,
yet it goes out with the sanction Of
the Associated Press. At all events
it is significant, and all the more so
when coupled with the announcemc,
coming direct from Washington that
the Chicago and Alton Railroad Com
pany is not to be prosecuted for COM
plcity i'll the rebate cases in which
the oil trust was fined $29,240,OOO,
the party allowing the rebates, as we
understand it, being as guilty as the
party that receives them.
If "the man with the big stick''
dares not prosecute offenders because
of the "bigger stick" held by Wall
street, then the law is an empty
thing, the courts are farce, and COM
bined corporate power is greater than
the government. Many circumstances
really indicate that this is true, and

THE GREATEST OF THESE rs
FINANCE.

Aue OIL repeated declaration OF
Scripture concerning faith, hope and
charity, might be made to apply to
our day and environment by chang
ing it to read thus: "And now abid-
eth Labor, Greed and Finance, but
the greatest Of these is Finance"
Wall Street has had another pan
ic, either real or pretended. The
$29,24O,0OO fine assessed by Judge
Landis against the oil trust, and 9th
er prosecutions discussed or inaugu-
rated, made it seem like the gov
ernment did intend to enforce the
law against the big violators, as we'll
as the little ones, and forthwith there
was a scattering among the specu-
lators as there is among rats when a
terrier appears among them. Our
readers may have read the reports
which came on lightning flashes FROM
New York, but, lest some may not
have noticed them, We give the fol-
lowing sample one:
BY noon August 13) twenty
three stocks had made new low rec
ords and the bottom was rapidly
dropping out Of things. Such stocks
as sugar, st. Louis Southwestern pre-
ferred, Denver & Rio Grande, Colo
RADIO Fuel, Southern Railroad, Rub
Der, North American, Reading first
preferred and dozen more souvenirs
of bull markets of the last century
were beginning to come out in vol
ume.
"Just at this time another cut of
One-haf cent a pound was made in
copper metal and the price of ANAL
gamated went tumbling to the new
low record of $40 share. INTERIOR
ough Metropolitan had just estab-
hshed itself on a new bottom. st.
Paul had broken all records of The
last century for low prices in selling
at 118 1-2, and Great Northern had
gone down to Ill.,"
1t must be observed that this tumb-
ling prices and market panic was
not regarding the sale or value of
anything tangible, or anything neces.
sary or even useful. 1t was alto
gether in stocks, bonds, mortgages
so-called securities-many of which,
though sold for money and made to
yield an income, represented no more
real value than the paper they are
printed on. Following the conviction
under the law of great corporation
criminals and their proposed punish
ment as smaller law violators are
punished, shows that these stock in.
vestments depend upon corporation
immunity from law observance, and
freedom from punishment for viola
tions Of the law. In proof Of this we
give the following letter published
by the Associated Press as written
by Walter George Newman, typical
railroad fnancier, to President Roose-
velt:
"It is with an aching heart that
refer you to the telegram which l
sent you from Philadelphia on March
/, 1907, when I said l was going

which had risked the elements to be
there, for there was everything In the
greatest abundance and of the most
palatable sort. There was ham, lamb,
shoat, chicken, beef, cakes, pies, wa
termelons, ice cream, lemonade, in
fact only the customary Brunswick
stew was missing. The management
of the Farmville Lithia Springs had
thoughtfully provided several bar
rels of sparkling hthia to refresh the
thirsty, and this was immensely en-
joyed.
From stand erected for the oc-
casion, the distinguished speakers ad-
dressed the assembled crowd. The
first was Hon. H. D. Flood. He was
introduced, though he is no stranger
to our people, by Mr.. j. Taylor
Thompson in ringing speech in
which the farmers organization for
their protection was unquaifedly en-
dorsed. Mr.. Thompson was given
rousing applause.
Mr.. Flood spoke for more than
one hour; his hearers were complete
ly captivated and carried away by
the earnestness Of his words and elo-
quence of delivery. Among other
things which aroused his listeners
Mr.. Flood said that the tobacco
raisers had not participated in the
general prosperity with which the
Nation had been blessed. The reason
was not overproduction of the crop,
nor because of the quality, for each
year there has been greater demand
and each year the quality has been
improved. The reason is because the
price of tobacco is fixed by the most
gigantic and ruthless corporation
that ever oppressed mankind. He
gave the history of the American To-
bacco Company, and the appeals
made to the Government for relief,
all of which were in vain. The on.
ly power and source of relief, he
said, was in organization. The to-
bacco growers of Tennessee and Ken
tucky have organized and Virginia
could do likewise. Mr.. Flood said
that the American Tobacco Company
had declared % 1-2 per cent on its
common, and most Of this stock rer,-
resented water and not money. In
1899, LOG per cent was declared on
its common stock. Tobacco sold in
Lynchburg market at an average
price of $6.66 per hundred pounds.
1t cost all of this to raise it, so the
farmers had no profit left them, and
the American Tobacco Company av-
eraged- 20 cents on every pound it
bought. The injustice of this ar
rangement is apparent to all. He
discussed the difference between the
tobacco growers organization and
the Alliance and the Grange. The
Tobacco Growers Association came
not to destroy but to build up. He
also discussed the concentration of
wealth in the hands of the few and
declared this to be the evil Of the

 Looking for Site

The Phoenix Democrat says The territorial prison commission arrived this morning from Florence, where 1t had been inspecting the site offered for the prison by citizens of that city.
 The commission also favored the sites ID Graham county and the site of the territorial school and from all they have seen SO far favor Florence
 However, there is one other sIte proposed and the commission leaves this afternoon for the north to exam inc that site. It is the Kirkland val- ley site, near Kirkland station in Va vapai county It is understood that Prescott is anxious to have Kirkland get the site, as supplies for the pr son would then come from Prescott Ths, Prescott or Florence xill one of them land the plum seems beyond question

 Colonel Greene's old concentrators were built in individual SC tions of 30 tons of ore While Dr. Ricketts was stIll with the old Dominion company he planned the 50O-ton section plant which was built at a cost of over a quarter of million dollars. Dr Rick etts is nos devising a new plant which which will be built in sections of GOO tons.

Aliens Must Give
 Full Particulars

All petitions for citizenship are are held up by the bureau of natural ization owing to failure to give defin- ate information in the petitions
 Aliens are compelled to answer all questions accurately, and give dates correctly, showing the steamer on which they arrived. at what port and the date. This they often fail to do, and the department at Washington is not taking any chances on the people who seek citizenship.
 Petitions are sent by the clerk to the department and an investigation Is made of each case. requiring sesrch- ing inquiry into many channels that are open to this department.
