MAJORITY OF NlcKELs OF
1910 ARE WORTH 80

II you get a five cent piece of the
date cE 1910 keep 1t, for 1t Is worth
about so cents. A number OF men in
Fmrmont have been saving the nick
els of 1910 for the psat several weeks
and one man has about 50 Of these five
cent pieces.
It is said that the reason that the
coins of this date are valuable is that
the majority OF them that we're coined
last year contain about so cents worth
Of gold, the gold having been put in
the melting pot by mistake In the
hlnt. The coins containing the gold
have yellowtsh tlnge and by close
inspection 1t can be seen that they
possess some other metal than that
used in making the ordinary nickels.
1t is said that by a certain process
the gold can be extracted from these
coins and that'there are about so cents
worth In the majority Of the five cent
pieces Of the date Of 1910

Blount Answers
Bryan's 99th Hour Charges.

In The Journal Sunday morning,
Nathan p. Bryan ran full-page ad-
vertisenent in which he made several
charges against W. A. Blount which
Mr.. Blount answers in today's paper.
If there be those who have not yet
read Mr. Bryan's charges, we would
suggest that they do so at once. Then
let them read Mr.. Blount's answer to
the charges. The answer is not only
complete. but it demonstrates beyond
cavil that the man who made the
charges knew they would not stand the
test when he wrote them.
.Mr. Bryan may regard this as good
politics and it probably would be were
the people as ignorant as he evidently
assumes them to be. But the effect of
such tactics, among intelligent people,
is just the opposite Of what Mr.. Bryan
intends in the case. The vote today
WIN demonstrate this by a Blount ma
jdrity that will constitute a reputation
Of SUCH tactics, we hope, for all time
to come.

which the Western Union Telegraph
Company had already obtained under
contract with the various railroads, Of
the State. 1t was a fight between these
two telegraph Companies, and one in
which the people were not interested
in the slightest degree. They were
both clients Of mine. l thought the
Western Union Telegraph Company
was right and the Postal Telegraph
Company wrong, and, therefore, yot-
ed as did.
l voted against giving the Railroad
Commission judicial powers. Mr..
Bryan is correct in saying that in my
announcement Of last Fall I declared
against giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission judicial powers.
This government, from the beginning,
has separated its powers into execu-
tive, legislative and judicial, and as
long as it keeps out of anarchy, it
will continue the same separation. To
give the Railroad Commission judi
cial powers means that it would have
the right to make rules, equivalent
to Laws, punishable by criminal pen
alties. accuse persons of offending
against such laws, try the question
of guiltsof such persons and deter
mine the penalty, and imposing it,
making the Commission Legislature,
Court and Executive. For this rea-
son I voted against the measure.
1t is true that I procured an in
junction on behalf of the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company against
freight rates fixed by the Railroad
Commission. The Commission thought
those freight rates just; the Louis.
Vile & Nashville Railroad Company
thought them unjust. The matter
was submitted to the Courts, and
could have been finally determined
at any time within the last five years,
if the Railroad Commission had been
hing to press the matter to a final
determination before the Courts.

1t is absolutely true that l have
devoted thousands Of dollars in mon,
ey, and tens CT thousands of dollars
in services, to the procurement OF
another railroad into Pensacola.

Another Ruse
To Fool the Public.

Cornered by the demands from all
sections of the United States to call an
extra session of congress to reduce the
high tariff, President Taft lets it be
known that he will make this call
unless the Republican members Of con-
gress get busy and pass the Canadian
reciprocity agreement between that
country and the United States which
will in a small way reduce the cost OF
living from an enlargement Of the free
list relating to foodstuffs coming from
Canada.
President Taft was elected by peo-
pie believing that he would demand a
marked reduction in the tariff. but
more than two years have passed since
that time without any Of the promises
and pledges of the Republican party
being carried out The reciprocity
agreement. as Insignificant as it IS
would not doubt fail to be approved
unless the president forces it's passage
by threatening to convene the Demo
cratic house to satisfy the demands OF
the public.
But the conditions have become too
acute for people to be satisfied simply
with a reciprocity agreement with the
Canadian government. The public is
crying out for an immediate reduction
OF the high protective tariff.
Nothing in the way Of reduction
will be accomplished during the re-
naming short session of congress
which makes 1t imperative that the
president listen to the popular demand
that the Democratic house be called
into special session TO reduce the bur.
densome high tariff rate. II this is no
done another year must elapse before
the desired legislation may be effected
when congress will meet in regular
session.
This proposed reciprocity agree.
ment may be termed a fraud. It is no
intended TO give relief to the ultimate
consumer" on the necessities Of life
but is ruse to deceive people int

Mr.. Bryan says that while I have
been attorney for the Louisville &,
Nashville Railroad Company, most OF
the docks at Pensacola have become
the property of that Railroad Com
pany. The truth is, that when / be-
came attorney for that Railroad Com
pany, it owned the Muscogee Wharf
or dock, and the Tarragona Street
wharf or Dock. Since that time, that
Railroad Company has acquired, from
private owners, to whom the City had
granted such docks twenty or thirty
years before, two additional docks
or wharves, Commandment Street
and Jefferson Street. 1t thus owns
the docks at the termini Of only POUR
streets when there are fifty streets
terminating on the water. where
docks are now, or where they can be
built.

In my speech at Jacksonville, In this
second primary, I challenged Mr..
Bryan to produce any further charges
that he might have. He answered in
writing that he had no further
charges.
In the Pensacola Journal OF Janu-
airy 29th, two days before the election,
he prints new charges, not mentioned
before.
He attempts to evade the direct re-
pudiation Of his declaration that he
would not make any more charges. by
saying that the advertisement Of these
charges had not been published in any
other newspapers, and had not been
circulated otherwise. OF course he
knew that the Journal had a circula-
ton in West and Middle Florida OF
several thousand copies and he was
not honest in his attempt to show that
he merely wanted to bring charges to
the attention of my home people. II
he had wanted to do this, he could
have done it at any time during the
last three months.
! The charges, however, are all easily
answered, and ], therefore, answer
| them.
I did vote, in 1903, against the bill
entitled bill to prohibit trusts, mo-
nopolies, and combinations in restraint
| of trade. Owing to the lateness of
this charge, have not access to the
original bill but my recollection is
clear that it would have prohibited
combinations of workmen, labor unions
and other joining Of interests In bust
ness entirely legitimate, and I voted
against it. 1t Is entirely unfair to
quote the title to bill without letting
the people see what is in it, as an in.
dication that man is disposed against
or for a particular policy. OF course
oinations, and Mr.. Bryan has no proof
to the contrary.
| I voted against Senate Bill 12S, re-
quiring the separation of whites and
colored people in sleeping cars. This
bill edeavored to make the Pullman
Company put on a separate pullman
for negroes, riding from one point in
Florida to another point in Florida. 1t
would not have affected negroes riding
from points out of Florida to points
in Florida, nor from points in Flor
ida to points out Of Florida, and since
no man in the Senate then, and no
man since has, to my knowledge, ever
heard of negro riding on sleeper
from one point in FLORIDA to another
point in Florida, the bill was merely
political claptrap, and would have had
no effect except to make the Pullman
Company take off its present sleeping
service upon all local lines, because
there is no law which could compel

and there would today be no sleeper
service between Pensacola and Jack
sonNille, or between Jacksonville and
Tampa, etc. may add that the Pull
man Car Company has not been and is
not now my client.
The insincerity of the course is evil
denced by the fact that Mr.. Bryan
throughout the length and breadth of
the State has charged that l was such
an aristocrat that I would not associate
with a poor man, and yet, charges
that I am willing to have my family
and myself sleep in a sleeping car
with negroes.
