William WINDOWS Story of the Way
In Which He Routed Financiers
Who Were Selfish and
Grasplng.

About a year before William Win
dom, who had been United States SEN
ator from Minnesota and secretary of
the treasury in President Garfeld's
cabinet, returned to public life at the
head of the treasury department in
President Harrison's first cabinet in
1889, met him in the office of COM
mon friend. BY chance the converse
ton turned upon some of the Incl.
dents associated with Mr.. Windows
brief service in General Garfields
cabinet.
Senator" I said, 81 have always
been anxious to know how it happen
ed that you hit upon the precise plan
by which You COMPOUNDED and put to
rout many of the great banks and
bankers of the United States in the
late spring of 1872"
The senator laughed heartily,
Why" ne said, that plan was due
entirely to one of those curious
chances, these accidental discoveries,
out Of which sometimes great triumphs
come.
You may remember that the con-
gress which sat in the last months of
President Hays's administration pass
ed an act authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to refund very large
issue of bonds which bore five per
cent. interest with a new issue bear
ing only three and a half per cent It
was legislation that caused the bank
ers of the country to be very much put
out They wanted the refunding bonds
TO bear. at least four per cent. inter
est and, If possible, four and a half
per cent, and because they did not
get what they wanted they began to
surrender circulation in very large
amounts, so large, in fact, that there
was danger of great stringency In
the money market. AS now recall 1t,
they surrendered about thirty millions
of circulation In the course of four or
i've weeks, and the situation was
made all the more serious by the ap-'
parent Intention of the bankers to sell
the government bonds which had been
returned to them by the treasury
when they surrendered circulation.
Consequently, President Hayes, not de-
string to have the money market
greatly upset and the bonds probably
deprecated, vetoed the refunding bill,
and great was the Joy of the bankers,
who felt that they had won the vic
tory.
"A few weeks later, when became
secretary of the. treasury, one of the
important matters that speedily came
before me was those FIVE per cent.
bonds. The government would soon
have the option of redeeming them.

American cardinal, Rt. Rev John
McCloskey, and the late Rev. DIR.

city church where John d. Rockefeller

said Doctor Armitage, AT that

Tammany Hall crowd. IL was ru-

1T was truly laughable, and, do you
know, practically all of the FIVE per
cent bonds were refunded In this
manner, and all because of that hap
by chance thought of mine. And as a
finishing touch to the complete rout OF
the bankers, congress, at its next SEES

banks to surrender currency In excess
of three million dollars a month. The

After the Array Of the Potomac had
taken up winter quarters along the
banks of the James river In the latter
part OF 1854, there appeared at head
quarters one day two Englishmen who
were recognized authorities in British
military circles. They carried a let
ter from Lord Lyons, then British
minister at Washington. In it the
minister explained that its bearers
were friends of his, that they had
come to this country for the special
purpose of studying the movements of
the Army of the Potomac. and that he

NEW WAY TO WASH CLOTHES

Works on the Principle of a
Coffee Percolator.

The ingenuity of an Aust, allan in
ventor has applied the principles OF
the steam coffee percolator to a wash
ing machine. much to the delight OF
the housewife of the South Seas, saws
Vice-Consul Henry B. Baker in a re-
port to the bureau of manufactures.
The device has been exhibited in
Melbourne and consists of a copper
cone which is placed in the wash
boiler. The steam forces the soapv
water through the apex in the same
way as in the coffee percolator and the
process goes on until the linen is
spotless. 1t Is said to save hard work
and wear on fine fabrics.

LYNN w. WILSON
 FOR CONGRESS.

By the nomination of Lynn W. Will son of this city for Representative in Congress by the Democrats, issue is joined in the Fourth district and is now before the people. In years agone, the district was considered as nom iually Democratic, and it is not wholly improbable that such is still the fact and that with full party vote straightIy cast, the Democratic candi- date would be elected. Of couYse, MT. Hill has the advantage of the Federal machine at his back and active despite civil service rules. but this machine has not this year worked with it's usual efficiency in districts which have all ready held elections. A change of less than 4OOO votes would, taking the last off year 1906 as a measure for 1910, defeat MT. Hill, and such a change is entirely possible. Is The popu- lar tendency is toward the Democratic party; it is, to use a popular phrase, 'fn the air.
 Mir Hill is less popular than for mer1y. He is domineering in temper ament, as appeared in the recent State convention; he is not a Progressive, but a Regular, and habitually acts with the so-calIed f'stand-patters''; he VIII vote TOT speaker Ca1uOn 1T0~6t0c- tion, if the next House is Republican and 'eUncle Joe" is renominated, uNon the same principle of regularity pro- claimed by him in the matter of Sher- if Haw1ey's candidacy; he aided, as a. member of the Ways and Means com mittee, in the construction of the tar if; he has never been ranked as a tariff reformer; he has always been considered one of the stronger repre- sentatives of ''the interests'', particu- 1arly of the financial and railroad in terests; he has never been, and is not now, a champion of popular as opposed to corporate interests. In brief, he is not in sympathy with that Progress siveness which is strong in the Middle West. which lately appeared with potency in Maine, which has just scored a notable success in New York and which is known to have permeated the whole country.
 The Democratic nominee, Lynn W. Wilson, embodies exactly the opposite principles. He has become known as an earnest, fearless opponent of ''the Interests, and he has seized every opportunity of championing the cause of the people. His candidacy will be antagonized by each and every public service corporation as actively as his competitors candidacy will be sup ported by them, which fact merits the consideration of all voters and affords, at this particular time, the strongest possible argument in his favor Such men are needed in Congress. By temperament and habit an investiga- tor, MT.

WHY MEAT IS HIGH

Thirty-five per cent is the amount of profit Armour & Co.,, forced the public to pay last year.

The com gross profit of $1O, O,5S2, ,OOO for the year 1909 on a capital stock of $20,O00,000 and earned a surplus of $7,127, ,926, or the equivalent of a dividend of 35.6 per cent. As the price of beef was boosted with the beginning of 1910 it would appear that in the opinion of Armour & Go. a 35:6 per cent profit on capital stock is not ample, even of the necessaries of life. Armour & Go. is one of the beef trust firms which enjoyed perfect immunity from prosecution by the Federal government until Federal Judge Landis of Chica- go an insurgent, forced the Taft ad- rninistration to take cognizance of the fact that the beef trust was il- legally holding up the public.
