$4,000.
The Gilchrist brothers, who never mar
ried, worked the farm and manufactured
cider and vinegar. During the civil war
they sold their produce in New York city
where they got a high price for Il. The
money thus obtained they put OFT at inter-
est on farm mortgages. OF late years

property. operating in all the cities Of the
surrounding counties. During the panic
OF 1897 Thomas NJ. Gilchrist took currency

invested the money thus received in stocks

alone to New York, carrying with him a
large amount Of currency, which he sold
at a premium. investing the proceeds In
bonds and stocks. In this way he had
accumulated a large fortune, estimated

This conversation took place at Oyster

PARIS, March 23,-The Temps prints an
interview that its foreign editor, Andre
Tardieu, had with Frank Arthur Vanderlip,
the New York banker who is Of the opinion
that President Roosevelt was a secondary
cause Of the late financial crisis. The pri-
mary causes we're the industrial activity
Of the United States since 1897 the de-
struction OF capital in the Transvaal and
Russo-Japanese wars and the San Fran

ing 70 Tardieu
That is not saying that | approve Of
Roosevelt's attitude, Roosevelt is not a
hnancier; he is a preacher. He does not
know anything about matters Of credit and
speculation. He chose to take them up
at q moment when these questions were
most delicate. He ought 70 have consulted
specialists and taken their advice and oon-
ferred with them. But a conference with
Roosevelt is almost always conference by
Roosevelt. He speaks too much. He makes
excessive use Of epithets."
Mr.. Vanderlip considers that Secretary
Taits personality offers a guarantee Of
conservatism. His career and family show
him 10 be a man Of tact and prudence.
Taft says that his ideas are the same as
Roosevelt's. but the temperaments Of the
two men are different That is the essen
tnial matter.
