An Open Letter to Adjutant
General Elliott

Sutton, W. Va, Oct. %, 1911.
{. ID. Elliott,
Adjutant General
Charleston, w. Va.
My Dear General:
To receive letter from friend is a
pleasure, and to meet friend is de-
light.
When your very cordial letter ar
rived, | was absent from home, and
remained away for some time, not
deeming it necessary, however ID reply
sooner.
But recent events have more fully
confirmed my suspicious that there is
something in our party that is radically
wrong and desperately crooked, touch
ing the high and low alike. That there
was scheme to force loans from the
banks, for speculation and spectacular
living, cannot be questioned.
Fol instance; member of the Gov
ernor's military family overdraws in
loans, ton worthless collateral, from a
certain bank. He then places certain
State funds on deposit, and then de-
mands a personal loan of two thirds of
that amount, with the threat that the
State funds will be withdrawn, If this
request is not complied with. This
demand for loan of ten thousand
dollars was supported by collateral,
hive thousand dollars of which was a
note given by state official, and as
this part of the Administration with
the aforesaid Colonel, was in real
estate dea! in Washington, d. c., the
officials of the bank, knowing that a
staff officer merely carries the orders
OF his commander, and reflects his
wishes, presumed that the Admin
stration might be interested IN the deal,
and they were dI sposed to look with
favor on the loan. While negotiations
were going on, the Colonel presented a
check for ten thousand dollars on the
Blueiield Bank and had it placed to
his credit in certain. National Bank.
ne checbWas given by Mr.. Derrick
son. He then presented to the same
bank on the same day, another check
for ten thousand dollars, and as Der
ickson had no funds in either bank,
the Colonel had the check charged to
his account. He was then ten thous-
and dollars ahead.
this man Derlckson is, or where
he lives, that could draw his check on
the Bluetield Bank, for ten thousand
dollars and his cneck on certain other
bank for ten thousand dollars, on the
same day, is an unsolved mystery.
AND when Blueiield went up in red

In the forty years since 1870 the
price has been failing, and consump-
ton and supply have been steadily
increasing. AT present, this country
use enough sugar to give eighty
pounds year to every man, woman
and child 10 it.
Many European governments have
paid bounties to encourage the manu-
facture of sugar. In the early days of
the practice, they tax the refined sugar
to raise the money for the bountles-a
course that, by forcing shopkeepers to
raise the price of the refined sugar,
limited its home consumption. As
consequence, the manufacturers were
forced to damp their surplus in what
ever foreign market they cound find
to the serious generalization of the
sugar trade.
Upon this situation followed many
International attempts to regulate
b0unties on the one hand, and on the
other to protect sugar manufacturers
in countrie, where no bountes were
paid. In Europe there is now an agree
ment by which bounty-fed sugar, on
entering foreign country, is taxed to
the ext MT of the bounty. BY the same
agreement, Russia, which produces
much more sugar than it consumes,
and which pays bounty to its man
ulacturers, is not permitted to sell
more than fixed amount in the Eu-
ropean market.
Although not party TO the Euro
pean agreement, the United States has
provided in its tariff law that bounty
LED sugar must pay not only the regu-
lar duty, but an additional duty equal
to the bounty. For several years it has
enforce this provision against Rus
sian sugar.
AT The present time, Russia has al
most "a million tons ofsugar which, but
Tor hostile tariff regulations, might be
sold in Europe aud America. Ifthjs
Russit sugar could be'sold freely, the
available supply, which is small on
account OF short crop, would be in
ere ased, and the price would drop.
