the very teeth of the opposition of
the entire country. Apparently
he thinks he can do the same
thing with the the currency plan,
which he feels would be fitting
crowning glory to his achieve
ments as statesman. But he
may be disappointed, as he is
reckoning without the progressive
Democrats and Republicans in
both Houses who stand ready to
begin a campaign of education Of
the people to the tremendous
menace OF his scheme, at the first
opportunity that offers.
ANOTHER ALDRICH JOKER.
One feature of the Aldrich cur
rency plan which has been largely
overlooked, is so characteristic Of
the author that 1t may discredit
the whole program. 1t virtually
permits the central reserve associ-
alton to discount railroad and
other corporation securities.
This is one Of the concealed
jokers in the Aldrich plan. To
mislead the public, Mr.. Aldrich

And the President devotes his
official message to Congress to an
attempt to make it appear that
this tobacco trust decision is a
great Victory for the independent
tobacco men and the people!
ECONOMY.
Estimates of the treasury de-
partment for running the govern
ment during the next fiscal year,
which have just been submitted to
Congress, contemplate saving of
S21, ,2S3, 92t.43, as compared with
the amount appropriated for the
fiscal year 1911-19t2.
Why have the Republicans sud-
denly developed symptoms OF
economy, this particular year re-
ducing their estimates after hav-
ing regularly increased their ex-
penditures every year for sixteen
years2
The answer is that the Republic
can department heads knew ex-
travagant estimates could not
pass the scrutiny of the Demo-
cratic House.
Notwithstanding their admis-
sion that they will be able to
get along for twenty-one million
less, there has been no marked
complaint from the Republican
officials that they will be stinted
or hampered in their work. The
Democratic leaders made it plain
at the start that the necessary ex-
penses of the government were to
be met as usual, but that all un-
necessary items would have to be
cut out.

washington Correspondence.
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER.

WASHINGTON, December IL
The Aldrich currency system is
near enough to be taken seriously.
by the country. The Aldrich
Monetary commission is holding
daily sessions. Banks favorable
to the scheme are bringing what
pressure they can on the mem
bers Of both parties to get them to
view the Aldrich idea favorably.
A million dollar fund is being
raised to finance a campaign in
support Of the proposition.
Elk Senator Aldrich processes to
believe that he will be able to rush
a bill inaugurating the "Central
Reserve Association" through at
this session of Congress. The fact
his idea is looked upon with dis
favor and alarm BY the small
bankers and the people Of the
country does not discourage him.
He has passed ioker-laden tariff
bills for the trusts in the past in
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1911-12-14

/ proposes that the central associa-
alton, as he cal Is it, shall discount
for banks any commercial paper
properly endorsed by the district
association to which the bank be-
longs. In his public discussions
he mentions no other form of dis
counts than commercial paper.
But there is in reality this added
provision: That the Central AS
sociation shall discount the di-
rect obligation of any bank, upon
certificate from the district as
sociation that the bank see king
this discount has deposited with
the association securities salts
factory to the association, which
will be dominated by Wall street
banks.
The profits the banks can make
on straight commercial paper,
which has value of its own, are
restricted to legitimate profits.
But corporation securities have
chiefly a manufactured value, and
the Aldrich plan would enable
banks loaded down with undigest-
ed securities, put out from Wall
street, to draw good money from
the Central Association by depos-
iting these securities with the To-
cal association. This is distinctly
an Aldrichesque proposition.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
u The only definite thing Inv Pres
ident Taft's m essage to Congress
is his attempt to prove that the
recent tobacco trust decree is a
most excellent enforcement of the
Sherman ANTITRUST law. He
would make the people believe
that the tobacco trust decision
practically solves the trust prob
lem. He complacently assumes
that this decision is certain at.some
, indefinite period to restore COM
petition, and soften the evils of IL
, legal monopoly if it does not
indeed completely eradicate them.
, Once again, therefore, the Pres
} ident is found advocating in a
message to Congress cause that
is not popular with the people, for
the merest tyro in the study OF
trusts recognizes the tobacco trust
} "dissolution" as victory for that
monopoly. That even Wall street
SO considers it is evidenced by the
fact that the securities Of the to-
bacco trust are higher after the
7 dissolution" than before.
I "The 'punishment' inflicted
upon the American Tobacco Com
pany for being in existence Is
violation Of the law declares
Chairman Stanley Of the Steel
investigating committee, 'sis worth
hundreds Of millions Of dollars to
that concern. There is not trust
lIin the United States or in the

The Last COnfederat e.

Who will it be, and where will it be,
And when it will be, none knows;
On height or plain, or the blue sea lane,
When the last Confederate goes.
Rounding half of the century,
Yet no man knoweth the hour,
Last of an army passed that rose,
Like hosts of the sun in its flower.
The drummer boy of sad Shiloh
Will it be, or the lad with Hood?
The youth at his fallen sire's post,
That the bearded foe withstood?
Gold is the coin of youth, but age
Its debt in silver pays;
Gold at Manassas his, its dues;
Age at Deaths Appomattox lays.
His-a nation born in an April morn,
And laid in an April eve;
His--a banner wind-tossed for four shor
years,
That the winds for aye shall grieve.
Who will it be. and when will it be?
But one will the last Confederate be;
They'll wait him who passed, till the roll
be complete,
All the rolls of Jackson and Lee.
Then men will bear to his resting place,
And carve on white grave stone,
"Here lies the last Of gallant host;
The last Confederate gone.n

Vile people last fall. while Williams
acted with them President Williams
has 10 satisfy two sides.
Mr. Bradley, of Richmond, is try
ing to string along with the Norfolk
crowd and yet hold the Williams CO.
horts in hand. He voted as the proxy
ing. when President Jake Wells read
the riot act TO the near magnates from
the salt water city.
Previous to that meeting II was
agreed upon that Williams, OF Roa-
noke, should be elected president. that
tho Danvlllc franchise should so TO
Portsmouth, and that Norfolk should
be pacitied in this manner. but the
Norfolk people failed to appear at the
meeting In time. and also failed to
give Mr.. Bradley authority to act for
the Norfolk club before il was too
late.
When Mr.. Bradley protests to Pres
ident Williams that the time has not
elapsed TO have new franchises in the
league, he shows, that he is, net a
lawyer. which Williams is. President
Williams. however. is obliged to keep
ciuse to Mr.. bradley, WHO made his
election possible. He also is obliged
to make good with Roanoke, Danville
and Lynchburg
In sipte of all that may be said and
written. when It comes to show

dent.
