OPPOSES CUT IN WAGES.
Hill Prefers Raising Freight Rates to
Meet Conditions.


New York, July 2O.-James J. Hill,
chairman of the Great Northern board
Of directors, is of the opinion that the
only solution of the financial problem
that confronts the railroads is an in
crease in freight rates. Mr. Hill is
strongly opposed to a cut in wages
as means of increasing the net earn
ings Of the railroads.
Mr.. Hill, who has just returned
from a fishing trip in Canada, made
the following statement:
"There is no alternative but to
raise rates. The credit of the rail-
roads has been seriously impaired.
The way to enhance credit is to in
crease rates.
''Wages should not be cut. Eff
cient labor is essential to successful
operation. Railroad employees have
peculiar responsibilities They have
to meet hard test. They should get
fair recompense. Cut wages 10 per
cent and the man who got SIS last
week gets $3.50 this week. 1t is the
difference between meat and no meat.
freight. rates in this country are
low beyond comparison. Receiving
but one-half and even one-third of
rates received in European countries
the wages paid railroad employees here
average 100 per cent higher than those
paid in Europe"
According to President J. T. Hara-
han of the Illinois Central railroad
there are just three ways in which
the problems may be solved. They
are increased rates, decreased wages
or increased business.

'There is nothing in that story;

Neither Senior Creel nor Mr.. Blu

Ambassador Creel, when asked what
he thought of the report from Mexico

might establish a protectorate over
Guatemala if President Cabrera con-

brokerage rim OF cameron Currlo
e. Co. of Detroit.
Detroit, Mich, July 2O.-The bro
kerage firm of Cameron Currie & Co.
of this city went into the hands of a
receiver through a bill filed in the
Wayne circuit court by Cameron Cur
RE against his partner, Louis H. Case,
asking a dissolution of partnership.
Fred e. Austin was appointed receiver
by Judge Mandell, with a bond of
$250,000. It Is said that no other De-
tro1t financial institution is involved
In the difficulties of Currie & Co. Prac-
tically the only charge which Mr.. Cur
RE makes in his bill for the dissolu-
ton of partnership Is that Mr.. Case,
in taking orders from customers, did
not secure enough cash to cover the
purchase of stocks and bonds by the
firm and that the firm in this way
became obligated to others to the ex-
tent of about $1,045,0O0. According
to Judge Mandell Mr.. Case admitted
this charge.
Mr.. Currie stated that the receiver
ship had been determined upon after
thorough discussion of the firms

ing them and most promising manner
of collecting the heavy Indebtedness
from customers whom they had been
carrying on their books.
Currie & Co. issued a statement in
which they declare that the ability of
the firm to pay its debts depends
wholly upon the amount of the out
standing accounts, amounting to ST..
045, 1000, which can be collected. They
say If 60 per cent of the accounts
prove good the firm will be able to
pay its debts in full. The statement
also says that the firms embarrass-
ment is entirely due to the failure of
customers to make good their mar
gins.
The liabilities of Currie & Co. total
in the neighborhood of from 100000
to 100000. OF the Indebtedness It is
said about 100000, owed to various
banks and trust companies, many of
them in the East, is fully secured.

Why You Should Trade at Home.

because: You examine your
purchase and are assured of salts
faction before investing your money.
2-Because: Your home mer-
chant is always ready and willing
to make right any error or defect

3-Because: When you are sick
or for any reason it is necessary
for you to ask for credit, you can
go to the local merchant. Could
you ask it of mail order house?
4-Because: If a merchant is
willing to extend to you credit you
should give him the benefit of your
cash trade.
5-Because: Your home merch-
ant pays local taxes and exerts every
effort to build up and better your
market, thus increasing both the
value of your city and country.
6-Because: The mail order
merchant does not tighten your tax
or in any way help the value of your
property.
7-Because: The mail-or der
merchant does nothing for the bene-
fit of markets or real estates val
ues.
8-Because: If your town is

enuf to spend your money in."-
Gov. Folk of Missouri.
9-Because: The best citizens in
your community patronize home

AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Democratic Candidates Ask the
Farmers to Contribute.
MESSAGE DATED AT LINCOLN

Tillers Of the Soil Urged to Give Ac-
cording to Their Means and in
Other Ways Assist in Restoring De-
mocracy to Power.
Lincoln, Neb., July 1.-THE first
appeal for campaign distributions by
the Democratic candidates for the
presidency and vice presidency has
been made. In a formal message di-
rected to the farmers of the country
Messrs. Bryan and Kern urge them to
contribute according to their means
and in other ways assist in restoring
Democracy to power. The appeal, in
part, is as follows:
''The farmer has nothing to gain by
privilege and favoritism; his hope is
in the application of the doctrine of
equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none He has been the vic
tim of all special legislation and has
suffered from the control of politics
by the great predatory corporations.
Now that the Democratic party has
announced it's determination not to
accept contributions from corpora
lions, not to accept excessive contri-
buttons even from individuals and to
publish all contributions when over a
reasonable minimum 1t ought to be
able to secure a sufficient sum from
the citizens who ask from the govern
ment nothing but protection to their
rights and consideration for the gen
eral welfare.
"The farmers fund will be turned
over to the national committee as
soon as its permanent officers have
been selected. Who will be the first
to respond? The Denver convention
was a peoples convention; it adopted
q strong, clear, honest platform and
its nominations were made with prac-
teal unanimity. Our fight is a fight
for the whole people; ouF aim is equal
and exact Justice to all; our purpose
is to restore the government to the
hands Of freely chosen representatives
Of the voters How many farmers will
Join in furnishing the fund necessary
to present the issue?"
