William WINDOWS Story Of the Way
In Which He Routed Financiers
Who Were Selfish and
G~rasping.

About a year before William Win,
dom. who had been United states SEN
ator from Minnesota and secretary of
the treasury in President Garfield's
cabinet, returned to public life at the
head of the treasury department in
President Harrison's first cabinet in
1889, I met him in the office of a COM
mon friend. BY chance the converse
ton turned upon some of the Incl
dents associated with Mr.. WINDOWS
brief service in General Garfield's
cabinet.
Senator" / said, II have always
been anxious to know how it happen
ed that you hit upon the precise plan
bylwhich you COMPOUNDED and put to
rout many OF the great banks and
bankers of the United States in the
late spring of 1882"
The senator laughed heartily,
Why" he said, that plan was due
entirely to mi 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 a very large
issue of bonds which bore five per
cent. interest with a new issue bear
ing only three and a half per cent. 1t
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 a great stringency in
the money market. AS ! recall 1t,
they surrendered about thirty millions
of circulation in the course of four or
five weeks, and the situation was
made all the 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 .ew weeks later. when became
secretary of the treasury. one Of the
important matters that speedily came
before me vas those five per cent.
bonds. The government would soon
have the option Of redeeming them.

lish a precedent for government

All that is needed in Alaska is the
application of some ordinary bust
ness sense to existing conditions. If
the government finds it expedient to
own and operate railroad, there is
no reason why ii should not do so.
And furthermore, if it should find
it expedient to own and operate a
line of railroad to meet any particu-
lar necessity, that is no reason why
it should own and operate all the
railroads. The people of the United
States are not a band of sheep, not
withstanding the studied efforts of
certain interests to make it appear
so.
