WILSON'S FIRST CAMPAIGN SPEECH

Governor Wilson delivered his first campaign speech at Gloucester x. Y. He was given great ovation, particularly by the farmers present. Governor Wilson said, in part:
 T am interested in politics, not as search for office, but as great definite and practical, indeed Poli- tics ought not to be considered as q mere occasion for oratory. Politics ought to be considered as branch of the national business, and as | man who talks politics to tell his fellow citizens very distinctly what he thinks about their affairs and what his own attitude toward them is.
 Here We are at farmers pie nic, and on this day l suppose we might say that the farmers occupy the center of the stage When did the farmers ever occupy the center of the stage in our politics? l don't remember any time have seen the interests or a great many class, es especially regarded in legislation but l must frankly say that have seldom seen the interests of the farmer regarded in legislation. And
 ne of the greatest impositions npon the farmer of this country that has ever been devised is the present tariff legislation of the United States. Il have not heard of farmers wait Ing for hearing before the commit ard the finance committee of the senate in order to take part Tn de termining what the tariff schedule | should be, While you were feeding the world congress was feeding the trusts. Nobody doubts what the process of tariff legislation has been | because everybody who has been curious enough to inquire knows what the process of tariff legislation has been.
 T would be ashamed of myself if tried to stir up any feeling ol: l the part of any classes against any ! other class. I wish to disavow all intention of suggesting to the farm. CT that he go in and do somebody up, That is not the point All that l am modestly suggesting to you Is that you break into your own house and live there. want you to ex. anime very critically the character of the tenants who have been occu pying it. It Is a very big house and very few people have been living in | it. and the rent has been demanded of you and not of them. You have paid the money which enabled them to live in your own house and dom mate your own premises.

could be found who was willing to sell

Detective ADAMS STORY.

There never was lob, said Detec-
tive Adams, worked in this country,
which could match the great gold coin
upon the expert dealers in money in
Wall street. No class of people are
easier to beat than Wall street men,
provided they are met upon their own
stamping ground by fearless men who
deal with them upon an apparently
solid platform.
AS I recall it, the bogus coin dis
posed of was worth, face value, about
100000, and the thieves were kind
enough to go in and get the premium
upon this sum. The firm which han
died the gold in this city was Wells &
Co., and they were above suspicion.
The coin was sent to them from Frink
& Beaman, an honorable London firm
of bankers, and every connection
from start to finish had all the marks
of genuine transaction. There was
nothing to arouse suspicion except the
gold itself, and that was not critically
examined at the time, because it had
been shipped in a perfectly regular
manner Inquiry would probably not
have been made into the transaction
for a long time if it had not been for
the disappearance of Nathaniel
Storms, who had completed the tran
saction with Wells & Co., and collect
ed the money for the gold.
Storms came to this country with
ton equal to the best certificate of
character. He represented that he
was the agent of syndicate of for
eign capitalists who had been quietly
gathering up all the gold they could
get hold of in Europe at their own fig
ures, and had got together several mil
lions of dollars which theynintended
to put upon the American market to
get the benefit of the large premium.
When Storms collected the money
for the gold. he made an appointment
to meet Wells & Co. the next day
upon matter of Importance, and he
did not show up. He was stopping at
the old Astor House. and letter was
sent there by a messenger, who
brought back a reply that Storms had
given up his room there in the morn
ing, before he went to Wells & Co.'s
Office. His baggage consisted only of
handbag, and he took this away
with him. 1t also was learned that

not suit him. The money that was
made from these rejected dies would
have passed anywhere except among
experts, but Billy was in the game to
beat experts. In my opinion he had
not his equal in the world as an en-
graver and tool maker.
But the fishing was good, and we
could afford to live on the fat of the
land; so the whims of Billy did not
bother us much.
II Billy was a crank in his way, he
was an angel compared with Frenchy

man ever met, and / have seen a lot

manners were SO strange that he was

He was an expert chemist, and could
have made fortune in the business
by going on the level, but he preferred
to be crook. There were two things

the world. He could make genuine

position Of metals which resembled
silver and gold SO closely that it would
require an analysis in the assay office
to prove they we're spurious. While
Billy was making dies, Kline was mix
ing up pots of metal and turning out
bars of yellow gold.
Billy finally finished his dies, and
then had the parts of a stamping ma
chine built in different foundries and
machine shops. We brought the Sec
lions to Ravenswood on our truck,
and they were put together in barn
on the place. We got an engine and
boiler to run the stamping machine,
and were ready for business. But
very few people ever passed the old
house, and we were just as safe in our
work as If we were in a wilderness.
It requires a heavy pressure to
stamp a coin, and our machinery was
not quite as weighty as the machine
in the mint, but our $40 and $40 coins
were just as good as any that ever
left the mint, with the exception that

back of the coins was not quite as

stamping the money was put into a
milling machine, to corrugate the
edges, and an oiled roller, to give the
coin the appearance of age.
The coin, as fast as it was made,
was put into kegs, and when we got
enough the kegs were shipped to Eng

ments had been made upon the other
side, were reshipped to this country
through a regular broker. Gold was
at that time selling at premium of
from $50 to 240, and the kegs of gold
were consigned to Wells & Co., reput-
able brokers in this city, to the credit
of Nathaniel Storms, the representa-
tive of a foreign syndicate. There
were any number of bidders for the
gold when it was offered for sale, and
we got rid of the whole lot for about
$420,000 1t was one of the prettiest
deals ever run off in this country.
