Harking Back to 1898.

In his jefferson day letter Mr.. Bryan
insists on barking back to 1896 and
pointing to the existing high cost Of
living as vindication of his demand
for 16 to 1 free coinage "as the one
remedy for falling prices" 1--WE may
now" he continues, consider the
quantitative theory of money as Cstab-
lished beyond dispute and proceed to
the consideration Of other questions. F"
One would suppose that Mr.. Bryan
would by this time conclude it to be at
least discreet 20 steer clear of the dead
issues on which he foundered in times
past and try totmake people, forgot his
false preachings. instead Of directing
attention to them anew. 1t was not
the quantitatiye theory of money for
which Mr.. Bryan stood in 1896, but
for the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the sacred ratio of
16 to Il it was to avenge the "crime
of 1873" and to lift from humanity
the burden of the gold standard which
was blocking all human progress that
he pleaded. In his famous "cross-of-
golda speech Mr.. Bryan said:
II they ask us why we do not embody in
our platform all the things that we believe
in we reply that when we have restored
the money OF the constitution all other
necessary reforms will be possible; but that
until this is done there is no other reform
that can be accomplished.
In 1895 Mr.. Bryan insisted that sill
yer and wheat were, inseparably linked
together, and that the price of wheat
could never rise so long as the price
of silver remained down. If he made
the prediction once, he made 1t hun
dreds OF times, that prices would con
tinue to fall so long as we retained the
gold standard, that the gold standard
was a conspiracy of the money power
TO keep prices falling and that there
could be no possible relief from. beset-
ting evils until this crime against man.
kind was undone by opening the mints
to silver.
The incontrovertible logic of events
has so thoroughly punctured the asser'
tions and arguments on which Mr.
Bryan wsged his first battle that there
was long ago nothing left of them but
shreds. The republicans declared in
1896 that prosperity would be restored
through the re-establishment of conf
dence In our monetary standard by re
jecting the regulators and by the op
Grafton OF the protective tariff while
Mr.. Bryan answered that industry
wonld never revive until 16 to ] was
written on the statute books. If Mr.
Bryan sees in the prevailing prosperity
a vindication of his position in 1896
his vision embraces more than is pat
ent 20 the naked eye.

Men who have had business relations
with the late Edward II. Hartman, and
continue their dealings with the present
head Of the Union Pacific company, Rob
ert Scott bovett, remark the contrast In
temperament and business methods OF the
masterful railroad manager and his sue
cessor as reflected at the company's office,
100 Broadway, New York It would be
difficult to find two men who have been
closely allied in the management Of a great
corporation so utterly unlike on the per-
sonal side. The difference has been noted
frequently since President Lovett settled
in the vacant chair, and Is sketched with
Illuminating details by a correspondent Of
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Physically the
writer pictures the new president as a tall.
well-built man with kindly face. He is
smooth shaven, exposing firm, rough-hewn
features. When he gets up from chair
he stands an even six feet TALL with just
enough flesh on his well-knit frame to
avoid being called slender He has a kindly
way about him that begets permanent
friendship almost at the first moment OF
meeting. He has keen disrelish for
wounding anybody's feelings. In each Of
these characteristics he is directly the op-
posite Of Hartman.

Judge Lovett differs from Hartman in
that he denies the right of big business to
sidetrack completely his creature comforts.
The same in regard to his employees.
Promptly at 1880 o'clock each day-without
regard to the pressure Of business on hand
-he goes to lunch at the Lawyers club.
He takes his time, mingies with his fellow
men and endeavors TO make his midday
meal social as well as a gastronomic oc-
easion.
Judge Lovett still lacks a few months
OF being so years of age. Just now 1t is
his strong desire that the Judge approach
to his name be dropped. He wishes to be
regarded as a business mana railroad
man-rather than as a lawyer But his title
olings and seems likely to-

Hartman never went out for lunch at

The dissimilarity in the personalities of
Hartman and Judge Lovett are so marked
that employees about the Hartman offices
do not look back on these days antedating
their former chiefs demise with any great
sense OF regret. There was something
dominant about Hartman He had every
body about his offices strangely intimidated.
Coupled with this was an irritability due to
the high nervous tension under which he
worked, that made 1t far from q pleasure
TO be. enrolled among the staff Of employees
who ,cam.s into personal contact with him.
For, example; He was a poor hand at die
tating letters; his mind worked so, much
more rapidly than he could voice his
thoughts that, be made many mistakes. But
1t was rare thing for stenographer in
doubt about HarTiman,s meaning to have
the nerve to ask him what he was trying
to say, or to change a phrase he had die
| tated
Hartman was constantly keyed TO such
a pitch that he had no sense of the pas
sage of time. He would order a message
sent somewhere and before the messenger
had left his presence would want to know
| If the reply had arrived.
Judge LoVett is as calm as Hartman
was excitable. He dictates or issues orders
in a. conversational tone. Hartman has
been. known to approach a stenographer
who had his back toward him and begin
debating telegram without even calling
the stenographer by name or giving him
any way OF knowing that he was being
dictated to.

Each day Judge Lovett Is besieged by
callers who desire to talk to him on mat
ters of comparative unimportsnce. He tries
to see as many of them as his limited
time from the pressure of other business
makes feasible. Harriman's aim was to
see no one. ...
For two or three years prior to Harri-
mans death an, employe of the Hartman
offices--a secretary to one of his chief
assistants-had been chatting under a bus
mess grievance, an unjust discrimination,
as the employe believed, that he was anx-
ious to bring. to .Harriman's personal at
tention,' But although his emplOye had his
desk only room or two away from Har-
riman's private office he found 1t impos-
sible to get to Hartman for private con-
versation. The financial wizard had not
time or inclination to talk to him. From
this one may gather how much chance a
person from the outside world would have
to get few minutes chat with Hartman
But now, all this is changed. The day
after Judge Lovett took Harriman's place,
the employe with the grievance requested
an opportunity to talk with him in private
They drew up their chairs and famed the
whole matter out In g short time. At the
close of the talk Judge Lovett said:
Il believe what you have told me. You
have not been treated fairly From now on
/ hope you will regard me as your friend.
