Perhaps it is not generally known
that what are known as the leaders of
crews on the different shifts of those
ditching machines at work all over the
county receive one hundred dollars
per month and on large machines even
more. The job requires an all around
skilled mechanic and engineer COM
bined, with health and strength and a
good pair of eyes to back it up. AS
Daniel Webster once said, "There is
sys room at the top" and as
William Mckinley once said, ga cheap
man always wears cheap coat"
These latter sayings may be subjects
for discussion, nevertheless, if rightly
construed they are very applicable to
every day life.
The shower on Monday night ripen-
ed the wheat some and by next week
much of it will be ready for the sickle.
There was every indication in this
locality Monday evening of heavy
storm from the northwest but as has
been the rule all this season the main
part of it passed to the southwest.
Rain fell during the night nice gen.
tie rain, just sufficient to cool the air
and get the wind from the north
again. Tuesday and Wednesday the
weather was cooler than Monday and
propects are still favorable to the
husbandman and his summer toll
which is, practically speaking, just
now in the air waiting to be gathered
in. While this has not been a season
remarkable for sunstroke victims,
nevertheless there has been steady
succession of sunny days. The sun
has shown almost continually and the
result it has produced corn in this
locality. The fields of corn that are
to be seen on every field in this local
ity attract the eye of every passer by
who is at all interested in the pros
perity of this country. But after all
it appears to be the season rather
than the soil that produces the crop.
Generally speaking the soil in this
section is always alright.

were made from the ordinary clay

 Without pausng to comment upon MT. Mills sneering style here, in speaking of so solemn and awful a mystery as the conversion of soul; passing by the sheer dogmatism which led him to imag- inc that he knew the state of the con verted mans soul better than the con verted man himself knows 1t; in short, admitting, for arguments sake that this wild earicature Is a correct and sober account of an actual case of conversion. I ask how it is that permanent turn" has been given to the character2 How and why does the convert "persevere in his new course of 1ife'? And, above all, why such a difference between "the pub lie opinion of his religious associates" and that of the profane world"? Why, according to MT. Mill's own admission, even in this indefensble caricature, the whole basis of these remarkable phenom- ena is found in 'the idea of religious punishment which the convert mas been brought to entertain. If MT. Mills theory is not completely upset by the very

against 1t redeemable in silver worth 47 cents to the dollar; and if the Fifty fifth Congress that made the Dingley tar fir had re-enacted the purchasing clause of the John sherman silver law there would have been no more prosperity under the Dingley tariff than there was under the Wilson tariff. Even as reck- less a logician as the Hon. Cushman will not controvert that proposition. Grover Cleveland found the treasury practically on the silver basis. He re- stored the gold basis and to that one act is due every moment of prosperity we ever had since. When l contemplate the grandeur and majesty of Grover Ceveland's character and the immeasure- able service he rendered his country can only recall a cynicism of Talleyrand: :: 'aThere are some services so great that they can be paid for only with ingrati- tude." Grover Cleveland stopped the pur- chase of silver. Under Roosevelt 1t was restored to the tune of about 10000o ounces per month and 1t continues under Taft
 In his ecstaey the Hon. Cushman had not heard of the panic of 1907 under the Dingley law until MT. Weisso of Wiscon- sin cited him to the fact that during two years of the administration Of Cleveland when nobody knew what sort of money we were going to have, the failures were but s5S3, ,000, 900, whereas in the two years last past, when the gold standard was

CUSHMANS SPEECH-By Savoyard

after the growing of the cock, therefore the growing of the rooster caused the sun to rise. He will tell you that Han nibal was a one-eyed man; Hannibal gained the battle of Cannae, and therefore his greatest victory was due to the fact that he had but one eye. He will cite you that Napoleon was the Great, when he appeared in the famous "hall of the Mar shals'' at Dresden, wore Polish uni- form: within ten months he retreated from Moscow; therefore, if the mighty Corsfean had not donned a Polish uni- form at Dresden he would not have been driven from Russia. In short, give the Hon. Cushman a batch of any old ef- fects and he will on the spot find you a cause for them, some of them surprising ly startling.
 The Hon. Cushman traces the finan- ctal panic and the industrial depression of 1893 to the Wilson tariff of 1894, and thus by a stupendous monstrosity of reas- oning he makes effect to precede cause. He denounces the Wilson tariff as a free trade measure, and yet Matt Quay made the iron schedule and Nelson w. Aldrich made the cotton schedule, and these two constitute about third of the tariff Everybody but the Hon. Cushman knows that Grover Cleveland would have vetoed the bill If it had not provided free wool and free lumber and as 1t was he denounced 1t as the work of party perfidy and party dishonor, and allowed

it to become a law without his signatur approving it.

it to become law without hlS slshaeufe approving it.
 Nor Is that all. A member of the ways and means committee ought to have a little smattering of tariff history If MT. Cushman had ever read Dingley's report on his tariff he would have known that he took the cotton and metal schedules out of the Wilson tariff and inserted them in his bill, with a slight increase 'ln the more advanced articles" The Wilson bill, when 1t passed the House, was a democratic tariff for revenue only; when it came out of the Senate 1t was Q republican protective tariff in many re- spects, in most respects.
 There was 8 sore financial panic dur ing the entire life of the Wilson tariff, that was full of protection; but that panic was no more due to the Wilson bilI than the victory of Lodi was to the fact that Napoleon Bonaparte contracted the itch at Toulon. He might as well say there would have been no war with Mex ico if the President elected six years be- fore had been, fond of cabbage potlicker.
 I'll tell you what made the panic or 1893. It came because republican Con gress and a republican President put the United States treasury on the silver basis. Under that republican administra- tion the country bought 6,00o,0O0 ounces or silver monthly and issued paper money

made, if it is made at all, and let us hope that it will not be made at all as now seems likely.
 What is the soul of parliamentary gov ernment as 1t maintains in all English speaking countries? It Is deliberation. What is the soul of legislative delibera- tion? The proposal of amendments, de- bate upon them and a vote upon them. Not single amendment to the tariff bill proposed by a democrat will be in order. There will be no opportunity to assail any one of the numerous infamous schedules such as wool and woolens glass, earth enware drugs, chemicals. fibers, cotton. and the like. What is the use of sending 391 men to do the job whea nobody but the majority members of the ways and means committee is allowed a finger in it?
 That is why so little interest Is taken in the debate" of the tariff To amuse the members, who make speeches for home consumption only, scores of Congressmen have been heard, and some of the speeches have been able presentations of the opposing ideas of tariff for private graft and tariff for public revenue; but nobody needs them, because everybody knows the House is not making a tariff. That Is a job for Nelson W. Aldrich at the north end of the Capitol. He has got his tariff nearly completed and is only waiting for Cannon and Dalzell to send him the enacting clause which must be of House manufacture.

 l was not here when the Mckinley bill was passed All those former debates and they were by giants-hlled the floor and packed the galleries; but since the Payne bill has been on the hooks l have looked down from the gallery and could count on my fingers all the members present at some of the sittings, and not one of them paying the slightest atten- ton to the statesman holding the floor and expounding political economy. That is the state of contempt to which Can nonism has reduced the grandinquest of this mighty and opulent republic, held bv the representatives of more than 9O,- 000 900 people who imagine they are free
 I thought I would take glance at one of the buncombe speeches made on the Payne bill by one of the fedgeling mem bers of the ways and means committee, Francis w.

existing constitution. Senator Fessenden of Maine said while the report of the committee expressed his views, long en- tertained, he had no hope that the loyal states would accept it. "If we report Q provision of this kind" said MT Fessen- den, lis there the slightest probability that it will be adopted by the statesf It is perfectly evident there can be no hope of that description" Congressional Globe, 39th Congress, part 1, page 7o4)
 The Senate voted down the proposed fourteenth article of amendment. It would have remained voted down indefin- ately, but for extraneous circumstances. The bonded debt of the United States, representing the cost of the WAT, amount- ed to billions of dollars. it was owned by comparatively few persons and owned for the greater part in New England The government had given it's bonds for paper money and in large measure at discounts, sometimes 50 per cent discount.
 President Johnson in formal message had proposed to this very Congress, less than 50 days before to scale the bonded debt that is to pay the bonds as far as they represented money actually received by the government and no further.
 This advice of the chief executive cre- ats6 storm of protest in financial cir cles. It involved banks of issue, whose

 A coalition was now formed between the commercial and manufacturing east and the west, with the east the prime beneficiary, as usual.
 The report from the committee of b came back amended. Senator Wilson from Massachusetts reported 1t again with the following far-reaching amendment.
 No payment shall ever be made by the United States for or on account of the emancipation of any slave or for or on account of any debt contracted or in- cured in aid of any rebellion against the national government" Next came an other amendment, as follows: ''The valid- ity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for the suppression of insur- rection or rebellion. shall not be ques- toned" This amendment was accepted and the article was recast as 1t now stands.
 In July, 1866, the fourteenth article of amendment was sent to Secretary of State Seward direct. over the Presidents head.

 When Xerxes put his vast army on war footing he organized an effective commissary department.

 cushmau is against the Payne bill be- cause it provides free coal and reduces the duty on lumber. At one point l had some hope that the man would have a lucid interval. when he cited that the tarif monopolies robbed the sawmill men of his state 45 per cent on engines. 45 per cent on boilers, 40 per cent on ma ehinery, 45 per cent on trucks for haul ing logs, and other taxes on saws, belt ing, axes, hatchets. chains, iron pipes, ropes, harness, emery wheels and fire hose. But instead of asking that the lum- Der trust be relieved of these exactions. he proposed to clothe that monopoly with the privilege of robbing every man that builds house, uses a stick of man ufactured lumber for any purpose what soever.

to be sent out by him to the states, in- cluding all the states that had formed the Confederacy, for ratification. MT. John- son sent message at once to Congress. saying the article had not been legally prepared for the states. 1t was required by the secretary to transmit 1t to states, for state action, yet il of those self-same states were denied admission to Congress, avowedly because they would have pre- vented the movement to frame the amend ment.
 The article came to Governor Patton while the legislature was in session In November, 1866. Patton submitted it to the body, with eloquent protest against its ratification. Some two weeks, per haps later, a special messenger arrived at Montgomery to see the governor. The governor sent another message to the leg islature. He said his original objection to the amendment yet held. but he had the grea test apprehenSions lest Congress should exclude the state from all appear ance In the federal government until the amendment was ratified by it. In other words. only states that ratified this amendment could become states of the union. Nothing more was done in Ala bama at that time. The legislature went home and left the document with the governor unnoticed.
 InlS was tne situation III AldDainA III February, 1867. On March and 27 follow ing Congress passed the reconstruction laws. These laws abolished civil govern ment in the states that had formed the Confederacy and refused or neglected to adopt the amendment. and arranged them into military districts. Georgia, Alabama and Florida composed district No. 3, Maj.- Gen. John Pope, U. s. A., commanding.
 General Pope ordered registration and an election for delegates to a constitu- tional convention to meet at the capitol of Alabama Like conventions were or- dered in other states. Negroes were en- franchsed in all these states by the re- construction acts of Congress of March, 1867.
 General Meade superseded Pope in the latter part of 1867 and Meade ordered that the constitution framed in November at Montgomery by the carpetbaggers, scala wags and negroes should be sent to the polls, on February 1, 2. 8. and 4. four days voting, 1S6S Meade reported to the government that the constitution had been defeated by about 14000 majority against acceptance and advised new trial by the voters.

~ LAUSE i of section of Article I of the Federal Constitution reads O as follows: All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may pro- pose or concur with amendments as on other bills"
 By that provision it was designed that there should be no taxation that was not initiated by the immediate representa- tives of the people, and thus the purse was entrusted to the House and not to the Senate Where the purse is there power is, and if the House had clung to its prerogative, ours would have remain ed what 1t once was, parliamentary government, the only free government yet invented by man; but the House of Rep resentatives is now become the play thing of a cabal dominated by the three majority members of the committee on rules chosen by the Speaker and one of them is the Speaker himself.
 It Is no wonder, then, that all that is left of the taxing power to the House is the adoption of an enaeting clause which is sent over to the Senate to be licked into such shape as some half a dozen Senators agree upon That is the way the Wilson tariff was made. That is the way the Dingley tariff was made. and that is the way the Payne tariff will be
