CITY A VERITABLE BEEHIVE
According TO This, Little Old New
York" Must DO About Crowded
. to the Limit.

We are told that II the inmates Of
all the Office buildings in the most
over-built section OF lower New York
were to leave their skyscrapers at
the same time six strata of sidewalks
would be required to give this mass
footway.
It is asserted that the population
OF New York is growing at the rate Of
10000 persons year, which means
that In the next half century the city
will contain double the number Of in.
habitants that It does to-day.
Ever granting that this rate OF in.
crease is somewhat exaggerated, the
necessity Of arranging for tremendous
expansion is obvious to all. Tho
problems OF transit up and down town
and from one quarter OF the city to
the other, the means Of ingress and
egress. cry aloud for immediate con.
sideration.

=
Then it was discovered that not
withstand ng our mines, our
factories, our agriculture and our
balance of trade, somehow the gold
had been frittered away. You
certainly remember the frantic rush
to borrow few million from Great
Britain and the continent. Did you
not blush a little as you watched
that spectacle?
1t was later explained that the
gold had gone to pay interest and
dividends in Europe; to pay
ocean fares and freights to foreign
ship owners and had been spent by
tourists.
Then it was found, too, that
because of the panic work of you
and those who felt like you in 1873
and 1898, our export trade with
half the people of the earth had been
killed. They have no money in the
Orient but silver and the exchange
with those countries has sunk so
low that they can no longer afford
to buy anything of the United
States but they can sell their pro-
ducts to us-from the same cause
so per cent cheaper than they
could twenty-five years ago when
we trembled at the competition of
the yellow man. Now at Hankou
the Chinese are making steel rails
at one four teenth of what they cost
Pittsburg. In Japan they are
making cotton and wooden cloth at
half what your skilled constituents
in Rhode Island can turn it out for.
In the United States which yields
much silver tke price has been re
duced 60 per cent because of the
legislation of 1898. Does it not
begin to look as though the rob-
berry of western miners of $25, OOO,-
600 year has really done no good.
In France it is in use as real money
at the rate of Is. to l of gold, and
France is steadily prosperous. But
in the United States things have not
reached the normal state since 1907
and an apprehension of trouble
pervades the country from Wall
street to the remotest corr er of tn
republic.
A few men in New York City can
precipitate panic upon the country
whenever they please. Is it states
manship that has made this possible?
Did the thought never come to
you, Senator, that the people are
paying too much interest? Has
the thought never crossed your
mind that it would be better to
found a financial system upon the
assets of the republic rather than
upon the Understanding debts
of the government which the people
must pay?
An elephant may need hay, but if
ne gives his trunk for it, he will
have no way to feed himself.
1t is the business of government
to remove distractions from the
paths of the people, not to found a
financial system on the debts of the
people, and on the assumption that
they can never pay the principal, but
must forever pay the interest.
You know, Senator, what ought
to be done, announce it and defend
your belief and you will be as
tonished at the number of friends
that will spring up to bl ess you.-

OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR ALDRICH

SENATOR: You are chairman of
the committee that good while
ago was appointed to construct a
financial system that was to meet
the wants of the people and Govern
ment of the United States. You
are a gentleman of wide business
and political experience; moreover
you are a most shrewd business
man, than whom none better than
yourself understands the signifi-
canoe of money and the need of
keeping it always on a staple basis.
You have delivered some lectures
on finance, but the last we heard
from you was that, as yet, you had
been unable to formulate financial
system satisfactory to yourself.
Babies at first lay prone and howl
with collie, then they creep, later
they walk, later still, they climb
trees, eat green apples and have a
deuce of a time. Have not our
financial systems up to date been
through about the same experience?
After the revolutionary war the
country lay prone, the collie of
poverty was upon it and it howled.
When the gold was found in Calf
ornia it began to creep, and, a little
later, on unsteady pins, to walk.
The green apple stage came with
the greenback and the national
bank, and our finances have had
frequent cramps ever since. You
were one of those who believed
that by throwing away half the
money of the world, by demonetiz-
ing silver. that would be sign that
the nation had reached financial
manhood, and had put aside all the
weakness and follies of youth, and
that henceforth nothing would be
desired, and there would be nothing
to fear. You were one of those who
exulted when this was finally &C.
complished, though there were
hundreds of millions of interest
bearing bonds that were bought at
about so cents on the dollar which
had to be paid, interest and princi-
pal in gold. Then, loo the good
Lord was good to men who reasoned
as youIdid. BY discoveries of mine.
and of the cyanide process for
profitably reducing low grade gold
ores, the gold Of the world was
doubled within ten years. 1t, too,
was gravely published annually
that the balance of trade in favor
of the United States amounted to
from $4O0,000,0OO to twice that
amount. All the time, too, the in.
dustries of our country were thriv.
Ing "OHuSIlully' LIE mines were
yielding splendidly; so were the
factories and the mills. The great
steel combine alone was paying in
dividends an amount which would
have been sufficient for the revenue
of an empire, when Secretary Will.
son proved to demonstration that
the soil was yielding annually ar
amount which, reduced to gold,
would have purchased an undivided
tenth interest in either of two OF
three Kingdoms of Europe, that
we're from fifteen hundred to
twenty-five hundred years old.
But three years ago, through
some cause a panic was sprung upor
the country. And strangely enough
1t started right in the midst, in the
very center of the gold circle, in
New York City, among the very
men, who at pleasure, make a gold
dollar worth only rs cents today,
when measured by any form OF
property, and by the same measure.

BUSY DAY AT THE
 RAILWAY OFFICES
The Hot Weather Starts the Rush a
 Little Earlier Than Usual

From the amount of business done at the railway offices yesterday it ap- pears that the annual exodus from the valley actually began about two weeks earlier than it usually does As is usually the case the first ones to start the rush for the coast and back east are the temporary residents and not the seasoned pioneers.
 At the Santa Fe office esterday was the busiest day in many moons. The clerks were kept on their feet all day long making out tickets and an swering inquiries. In almost every case those who are leaving today be- long to the tourist class-peOple who have come here to spend the winter. Some of them seemed to be under the | impression that the recent hot spell was here to stay-that we have this sort of thing all summer long and late into winter. While weather predictions in the valley are seldom to be relied on and are usually made by those who know the least about 1t, the fact re- mains that such conditions as the val l ley has been through in the past few 1 days have not been known to last very | long at this season of the year, and the deduction is natural that a period of comfort awaits us before we really ! plunge into summer weather Believ- ! ing this the old resident has shown lit- 1 tie haste in leaving for other Climes. Among those who WSill leave over the Santa Fe are the following: Mrs. John Harden will go to Terre Haute. Indiana, for the summer. Mfr. and Mrs. Edward A. Brooks and Miss Louise McDermitt go to Denver today.
 Miss Dolly Hodges will go to Der taud. Col, today.
 Miss Anna O'Neil will leave today for Denver.
 R. H Smith of the Valley Realty company and Mrs. Smith will make the circuit Of the eastern states and he gone all summer. They go first to New York and will start today

 Miss M. Hogan will go to Denver today
 F. M. Barnett goes to Kansas City today.
 C. H. Dayton will return to his home in Wilmington, Dell, and take in the side trip to the Grand Canyon. He leaves today.
