THE NATIONAL FINANCES DISCUSSED.

Hon. I. E. Watson, Thomson, Ca:
Enclosed you will find a list of subscribers
for the Jeffersonians- Weekly and monthly.
Now, with your permission, I would like to
say something about the results Of the best
banking system on earth Let us take sur
vey of our glorious country, a country of natu-
raj resources, that can not be equalled on the
globe. We can produce all the necessares and
comforts of life In sufficient quantity to sup
ply our own wants, with plenty to spare to
ship to foreign nations, for our less fortunate
brethren. Our mines can not be exceIed We
can give to the world the output of our pre-
cious metals, coal, iron, copper, lead; and just
think OF natural resources. How rich,
how beautifully supplied we are. With proper
diligence every man could have a plenty and
some to spare. The laborer, in his cottage,
the farmer, under his own vine and fg-tree,
the mechanic, the merchant, the artisan, and
in every walk of life, should be in con-
dition to praise the great Giver of all good
for the bountiful gifts that he has bestowed
upon us. I say that this should be the case
But is it the case? Let us look around and
what do we find? We find factories shutting
down, throwing thousands Of men out of en-
ployment with nothing in view but charity.
We find thousands Of immigrants returning
to their old homes, where they think they can
do better than they can here in this glorious
country, where we are so bountifutfy blessed
by nature. We find commerce at stand
still. Merchants, both retail and wholesale,
are unable to meet their bills. The banks are
unable to give back to the people the money
intrusted to their care. The farmer, the bone
and sinew Of the whole thing, finds at least
% per cent of the value of his property gone.
He can not meet his contracts; he has to
economic and do barter business in order
to get along.
The common people will have to economic
for the winter; they will have to wear their
old clothes and old shoes longer than they
anticipated; they will have to do without the
many comforts they anticipated, and great
many who have contracted for homes will have
to give them up. This is sad picture, but
it is true one. All Of this has occurred right
in the midst of plenty. Our country is full of
the products of the farms, the factories and
the mines. According to Secretary Wilson s
condition. We have been wonderfully blessed
in the way Of crops. Our factories could not
fill their orders. 1t was impossible to obtain
labor at reasonable wage
Now then, there is cause for all of this
trouble, and what is it? Is it in the admins
tration of our government, Or did it come by
chance? Who is to blame for it? 1t is not

Hitchcock as Taft Manager.

Washington, D. c., January 10.-First As
sistant Postmaster-G General Hitchcock will re-
sign his position in the department soon after
congress finishes the postoffice appropriation
bill, it is understood, to devote himself to the
management of the Taft boom in the South
and West. It is believed that the decision Of
Mr.. Hitchcock to take charge of the boom of
the war secretary means that the South will
cast solid Republican vote for Taft in the
Chicago convention. It is denied that Mr.
Hitchcock was disloyal to the administration
in secretly working for the nomination Of Sec
Rotary Cortelyou, while ostensibly seeking to
have third term delegates sent to the con-
vention. But it is admitted that he has built
up powerful organization in the South IF
he uses this organization for Secretary Taft,
giving all his time to the work, it is we'll
nigh certain that Secretary Taft will capture
practically all the Southern delegates. It is
said that Kentucky and Alabama are in worse
shape than any other of the Southern States.
1t is admitted by the Taft men that many of
the most influential Republicans of Kentucky
are opposed to Taft, and in Alabama great
pressure is being exerted to make Booker
Washington declare for Foraker, and it is
probable these efforts will be successful
President Roosevelt predicted today that
Secretary Taft would be nominated to the
presidency on the first ballot. The President
told caller today that Secretary Taft would
have in the convention a solid South, solid
West and probably solid New England; that
he would have many votes from the Eastern
States; that he would have probably
jority of the New York delegation.
Chas. Scott, Republican referee from Ala
bama, who arrived here this morning, says
Taft will have the delegation from that state;
that Booker Washington is for Taft-Nash-
vile Banner.

INDIANA LOOKS
GOOD TO BRYAN
PEERLESS LEADER HAS NO MIS-
GIvlNGS ABOUT THAT STATE
AND ILLINOIS.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 10.-A
vast assemblage of Hoosier democrats
gathered IN Evansville today to greet
| their national standard bearer, William
l. ]. Bryan, who will deliver one of his
| most important addresses of his present
tour in this city.
That he will get the electoral votes
Of Illinois and Indiana Mr.. Bryan APP
parently now has no misgivings what
ever He has aScertained to his salts
faction that the fractional quarrels of
the past in his own party in these
states have been settled and that the
democracy is thoroughly united for
! the first time in twelve years. An
other advantage which he has been led
to believe he enjoys is that in each
state the democrats have stronger
tickets than the republicans.
Persons who travelled with Mr.. Bryan
were surprised to learn Of the strength
of Adlai Stevenson, the democratic
nominee for governor of Illinois, and of
Thomas r. Marshall, the democratic
gubernatorial candidate, in Indiana
In both states they met scores OF re-
publicans who said they had definitely
made up their minds to vote for the
democratic gubernatorial nominee, but
not all of those, so declaring themselves
said they We're going to vote for Mr..
Bryan.
Reports Mr.. Bryan has received
from Ohio have convinced him that
the condition there is the same as it is
in Illinois, Indiana and Kansas, with
the further parallel of an unusually
strong state ticket headed by Judson
Harmon for governor.
The democratic standard bearer
is very hopeful of carrying Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois and Kansas. Indeed, it
may be said that he is convinced of
his lead today in those states over
Judge Taft.

gubernatorial nominee. is standing
pat" on a prohibition platform, while
his democratic opponent, Obadiah
Gardner. favors resubmission of the
liquor question to- a vote OF the peo-
pie. With this issue clearly drawn.
the result will have little bearing on
the coming national election. 1t is a
warfare between the "wets" and the
"drys" and party lines have been
largely obliterated
Gardner, the democratic candidate
for governor, is farmer and for
many years has been master of the
Patrons of Husbandry, an influential
organization in Maine. There is little
doubt that he will have the support of
many republican farmers. In the cities,
thousands of people have tired Of what
they call the Hypocrisy of the prohi-
bitiOn regime, with it's kitchen speak
easies. and will vote for Gardner. The
result will doubtless be, close. and
democratic victory is not improbable.

SHAW THE ONLY
REAL FIHANC|ER
Former Secretary of the Treas
ury Does Not Favor Any of
the Currency Bills.

Denver. Colo, Feb. 21.-Ex- Secretary
of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw was
the guest of honor at the reception at
the Republican club in this city from
to O'Clock, and later at banquets of
the Mile High club and the Denver
Bar association, at which he delivered
addresses. During the afternoon he was
the guest of Bishop Henry W. Warren
at his home in University Park, and
delivered an address to The students of
Denver university
Mr.. Shaw made the following state
ment to day in an interview regarding
the Aldrich currency bill, now pending
before the United States senate:
Il do not wish to go on record as
opposing nor favoring the provision of
the Aldrich bill. AS it appears to me,
there are possibly two unfortunate fea-
lures to the bill<it might invite ma
tional banks away from commercial
banking, and again. it may tend to
make the country more and more de-
pendent upon New York City.
1T has this advantage, however. It's
passage will prevent the further con-
sideration of somewhat more than fifty
other banking bills, now and heretofore
pending before congress, the only eff
feet of which. if passed, would be in
flatiOn. As between wild imitation and
the Aldrich bill. give us the Aldrich
bill"

OPERATORS NO
LONGER AGREED
Attempt to Settle Trouble at
GoIdfieId May Disrupt the
Organization.
FIGHT AGAINST THE UNION
QUESTION. OF WAGES CUTS NO
FIGURE.
Especial to The Herald.)


Goldheld, New. Feb. 21.-The Mine
Operators association is threatened
with split i'm its ranks by the action
of Tom Lockhart. manager OF the Flor
ence Goldfield Mining company, and
several leasers in the Florence, who
have been dickering with MahOney of
the Western Federation of Miners for
a settlement of the strike. Last night
these men met with Mahoney and
agreed on a proposition to be submit
ted to the Mine OpeI ators' association,
which calls for the adoption of the
Tonopah scale by the operators and the
recall of the strike order by Mahoney.
The change means an advance of fifty
cents per day for machine men, who
are now getting 81, and twenty-five
cents per day for muckerS, who are
getting 1915. There is no particular
opposition to the increased wages. but
the fight will be made against the plan
because it carries a tacit recognition of
the Western Federation OF Miners.
Il is the belief of some members of
the association Aof mine operators that
the federation seeks to regain control
of the situation by getting its members
who will pay dues back in the mines
and that within a month or two they
will be able to make ii so uncomfort-
able for the non-union men that they
must either join the federation or
leave the camp. The Chronicle, which
was the first paper to oppose the In
dustrial Workers of the World and
Western Federation. comes out tonight
with strong article on the first page,
opposing the so-called compromise
A committee composed of Tom Lock-
hart of the Florence, Henry Weber and
Lincoln Davis, was appointed at
meeting held last night to present the
proposition TO the Mine Operators as
sociatiOn. 1t is quite certain to be
voted down, and it is then expected
that Lockhart will withdraw.

Postmasters Not Confirmed Likely
TO Lose Salaries.

Washington. Feb. 21.-An amendment
to the postoffice appropriation bill was
introduced by Senator Foraker today.
Senator Culberson asked that it be
read. 1t proved to be a provision that
railway postal clerks shall be paid ac-
tual travelling expenses when away
from their stations at the rate of not
more than 81 per day.
The countenance of the senator from
Texas showed disappointment.
Il thought" he said, 1t was to pro-
vide for the non-payments of salaries of
postmasters whose nominations have
not been confirmed by the senate"
