fession was a frame-up and made
other statements throwing suspic-
ion upon the states case. Johnson
denied making and such statement
to Mr.. McCarren or to any one
else. He was also questioned
about the ride Gedney, Dye,

JUDGE GOODWIN's REMEDY

ring to the decision in the Stand.
rad Oil case says:
While dissolving the Standard
Oil Company. it the (decision)
virtually amends the law SO as to
make it necessary to prove that
any restraint of trade complained
of is unreasonable. The effect of
this practically will be to nullify
the law and to make il necessary to
amend the Sherman antitrust law
and make it more stringent"
We wish that Mr.. Bryan would
rouse himsef and 60 back to what
first gave him real fame that he
would take the stand that the
trusts. some good and some
vicious. are but details after all;
that the one great gold combine is
what is sapping the strength of
the country; that it is Frustrating
business and makingall Americans
servitors of that mighty gold
power, which is paralyzing husi-
ness and demoralizing the whole
country and proclaim that it
! must be shorn of it's abnormal
power; that the first essential is to
call congress of the nations to
fix upon a fair ratiu between gold
and silver and on that basis; then
to create financial system
through which the country's bust
ness could be adjusted so that
business men could carry on their
enterprises withot fear of panics,
and if they needed loans they
could on good security. get all the
money they might need at fair
rates, a system which would cnce
more make money medium of
exchange ard a fair measure of
values. If he uld do that he
would be the next president of the
United States, and could have
something else vastly more
satisfying namely. the consciousness
of having served his country and
his countrymen more effectively
than any other man has since the
great war closed.
The truth is, the American
people are working now for
clothes and board merely, with the
prospect before them that the
failure Of one crop would PROSTATE
the business Of the lard for years
to come. During the great war
the whole north prospered on
which to do business though that
medium was in an imperfect one,
! depending upon the wisdom of our
statesmen and the valor our
soldiers to make it of any value.
WHAT is needed now is such an
increase in attainable money as
will pc rmit business to go on un-
hampc red not such money as
was forced on the people in the
war, but money as good as gold
that people on ample security can
obtain.
Wise men have been fighting the
Standard Oil trust for years.
What for? Because it Is a
monopoly though it has supplied
the public with better oil than
they ever obtained before and at
cheaper 'ates. But they have
none of them attacked the methods
used by that company, in combina
ton witr other companies in their
handling of the profits of. their
business though that combination
was finally through it's awful
power, able to obtain control of
all the gold in circulation and made

tofore, gold, silver and copper have

neglect of others, even when known to
exist in paying quantities. Deposits OF
tin and zine have been known TO exist
in Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi for
some time, but have never been ex-
plored TO any extent, because they have
not belonged to the precious metal
class. With the present upward ten
dency of these metals and a better
market and conditions for mining and
smelling which are to be had, miners
expect the tin and zinc production to
be greatly increased during the coming
