The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1912-11-01
WANTED TO SHIP
WOOL TO THE U. S.

Australian Sheep RaIsers Anxious for
Democratic Victory.
From the Glasgow, Mont, Indepen-
dent.
The Hon. James Bryce, British am
bassador to the United States has
been in Australia this summer, and in
a recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed the hearts of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros
pect of an early reduction In the
American wool tariff This, he pre-.
dicted, would mean large increase in
the wool exports from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador is right. That is
just what will happen If the wool tariff
is lowered, and the Montana sheep
men know, because they remember
what happened in 1894 when wool
wasn't worth anything and when sheep
were worth even less. When the Dem
ocratic members of the ways ana
means committee OF the house, in the
recent session of congress, presented
their wool bill for consideration, they
claimed that II would increase the i'm
ports of wool into America by $780,
100000 pounds.
But there can be no increase in the
consumption Of wool and the Amer
lean grower is wondering what would
become of l90,O00,090 pounds Of his
wool under the Democratic tariff laws.
Nearly 100000 OF that 100, 100000 is
grown right here in Montana 1t is no
wonder that England is urging the
election of Democratic congress and
that London looks with favor upon the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson

prices of some things were pretty
high. The Democrats declared it was
because OF the high tariff and prom
Used that II put into power they would
revise the tariff "in the interest OF the
plain people" There was little ex-
pectation throughout the country that
Harrison would be defeated and bust
ness doomed right up to election day.
But Harrison was defeated
How the Panic Came.
And then what happened? Why, in
stantly, men who had money which
they we're about to invest locked It up
In the vaults and said 1--WE will Just
wait while TO see what happens"
Manufacturers engaged in producing
protected articles, realizing that as
soon as the Democratic congress could
get at it their protection would be
reduced, Immediately began to cut
their output to current demands. Who
could blame them for refusing to go
ahead and pile their warehouses full
of goods which might have to be sold
in competition with similar products
made in countries where the factory
wage scale was one-half or one-fourth
of the factory wage scale which they
had been paying? Jobbers and whole,
salers cut their orders to the manu-.
facturers in the same way and for the
same reason. Retailers all over the
country bought their supplies from
day to day, fearing to be caught with
high-priced goods when the low-priced
food came.
And so Il happened that although
the Wilson bill was not actually pass.
ed until late In 1894 the panic began
the day after the election of 1892. II
was not what the Democratic presi
dent and congress had done, but
what everybody knew they intendea
to do that wrought the havoc. Indeed
II the Wilson bill could have beef

have been far less than that which
actually occurred
The Danger Of Uncertainty.
This country is big enough and rich
enough and resourceful enough to ad-
Just itself to nearly any tariff law, no
matter how bad II may be, II it only
knows what 1t is. But during all the
long months of debate over the bill
the business OF the country was, as it

which they were interested was to be
reduced ten per cent they could have
figured accordingly. II they had
known the duty was to be reduced 80
per cent or 100 per cent they would
have had some basis upon which to
adjust themselves. But they did not
know what the reduction would be,
so they had absolutely no basis upon
which to do their figuring. They sim.
ply had to wait and wait and wait
keeping Just as close to shore as they
possibly could until the long agony
was over. That is the analysis OF the
panic from 1898 to 1897, and no mat
ter how vigorously the Democratic
text book may dispute It, it cannot
deny or refute it.
Two Kinds Of Pancs.
There Is some reason. Of course
why the unthinking should charge the
upon the Republican party, because
that party was in power when the
panic occurred. But 1t Is to be re-
membered that there are two kinds OF
panics, one due to loss Of confidence
in measures and the other due to loss
OF confidence In men. A political
party is Justly chargeable with bust
ness disturbance due to bad measures
or the fear of bad measures: but IL is
not chargeable with responsibility for
a disturbance brought about by the
conduct of men. II was the fear OF
Injurious legislation that brought upon
the country the disaster Of 1897
And therefore these disasters are
chargeable to the Democratic party.
But the money stringency OF 1907 was
due absolutely to the frenzied finan-
ciering OF q group OF men operating
entirely outside of politics and hav.
ing no connection whatever with the
government. II was nowhere charged
that the panic Of 1907 was brought
about either by legislation which the
Republican party HAD enacted or that
IL was threatening to pass. Neither
then nor at any time since then has
any Republican measure been charged
with having brought It about, and the
only new legislation which was de-
manded as the outcome Of II was the
emergency currency law, the need Of
which had never before beer. demon

WHICH MARKED ITS ADJ
MINIsTRATIoN.
FACT IS CLEARLY SHOWN

The Financial Disturbance Of Five
Years Ago Not Due to Adverse
Republican Legislation Nor to Any
Cause for Which the Republican
Party Must Answer.
With an audacity which can only be
explained by the desperate situation
which makes resort to even the
most improbable OF theories a polit.
tcal necessity, the Democratic cam
paign text book charges the Repub-
lican party with responsibility for the
panic OF 1893 and the hard times that
ensued. "The Republicans have been
trying to make the country believe"
says the text book, that the panic Of
Ass3 was brought about by the Demo
eTatic bill which was passed in 1894"
And then the text book writer pro-
eeeds to make merry over the absurd
fly OF charging an effect in one year
to cause that did not transpire until
the year after
Well, here are the facts: The last
year OF the Harrison administration,
1892, was the most prosperous the
country had enjoyed up to that time.
Labor was fully employed, capital was
actively seeking investment, and the
farmers were getting good price for
a big crop. So far as industrial and
commercial conditions were concern
ed, there was not q cloud in the sky.
Republican speakers and newspapers
tried to persuade the people that they
should let we'll enough alone and that

promptly passed.
These are the facts in relation to
the panics OF 1897 and of 1907. That
Democratic legislation was directly
responsible for the former cannot be
successfully denied. That Repub-
lican legislation was responsible, d.
rectly or indirectly, for the latter can
not be successfully maintained.

A WORD OF WARNING.

The experience of history shows
that free government once estab-
lIshed, can be preserved only by the
individual standing upon his rights,
or more pointedly speaking, keeping
government at arms length. This is
o thing entirely consistent with the
highest loyalty to government. A
small encroachment of arbitrary pow
er by government leads quite inevita-
bly,, if suffered without opposition, to
greater and greater ones, and to a
multitude of them, ending in the
temporary or permanent destruction
of free government.

POWER OF SILENCE.
John Randolph Used II to Confuse Power

John Randolph Used it to Confuse Power
ful Opponent.
In painting the sacrifice OF Iphi.
genia the artist. it is said. exhausted
the emotions of grief and horror in
the faces of the bystanders.
HE has left nothing unsaid. How
can he depict her fathers sorrow?"
was the anxious query of those friends
who were watching the development
of the picture. The artist threw q
mantal over Agamemnon's face. The
blank silence was more effective than
any picture of woe.
One of the most extraordinary
effects produced by an absolute
silence is recorded in the reports
of q convention in which the FORE
most men OF Virginia took part.
John Randolph had o measure to
carry in which he looked for opposi-
ton of Alexander Campbell, a man
then noted for his scholarship and
power in debate.
Randolph had never seen the Scotch
lOgician, but he had heard enough of
him to make him and his partisans
uneasy. When, therefore, the gaunt
stranger first rose to speak in the
convention Randolph looked at him
with such an air of alarm as to at
tract the whole attention of the con-
vention, and as he glanced around
seemed to be asking for sympathy in
his coming defeat. He then CON-
posed himself to listen in rapt atten-
tion.
Campbell, aware of this byplay, hes
itated and lost the thread OF his argu-
ment. Randolph's face by turns. as
he listened, expressed WEAKNESS, in
difference and finally contempt. He
leaned back and yawned. Campbell
sat down hastily. He had lost the
force OF his speech. Not word had
been spoken, but he was defeated.

MOISTURE ON THE MOON.
Some Little Life May Still Remain In Spots
on the Planet.


on the Planet.
Is the moon entirely dead. or are
there still some traces of life left?
Most scientists assume that it is but
the skeleton of planet. without air
or water. But'he and there an as
tronomer of courage declares that he
has discovered signs that there is
still going on some sort of geological
actions.
The latest is Johannes Korn, who
devoted year to study of the lit
tie crater Taquet. He claims that a
week after new moon this appears
as q crater full of deep shadow. But
in a few days the crater is replaced
by a bright spot, although the neigh
boring craters are easily distin-
guished.
A few days more and the crater re-
appears and doesn't change its ap-
pearance until another lunar day
comes.
Professor Korn's theory is that va
por forms ip the depths of Taquet
during the long cold lunar night.
Then, as the sun advances, the vapor
warns and expends, finally filing the
crater, SO that it cannot be seen.
Still later in tie long lunar day the
vapor is dissipated by the heat and
the crater again stands out empty
and barren. =
Similar conditions have been ob-
served in other craters, always the
same ones, while others near them
show no changes. The conclusion
this observer has reached is that
there is still a little life left in few
places on the moOn-that is, there is
some sort OF eruption of vapor.
Whether there is any animal or
vegetable life in another question.

A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin Of Curious Custom Observed by Bull
farian Builders.

Nine master masons who were en-
gagged in building q citadel in the
time OF the Voivoid Neague found
on returning to their work each morn
Ing that a portion of the wall which
they had completed the day before
had fallen to pieces during the night
and was laying in a heap of ruins in
the ditch. Manol Of Curtae. the head
mason. informed his comrades one
morning that q voice from heaven
had warned him in his sleep the
night before that their labors would
continue to come to naught unless
they all swOre on that very morning
to immure in the structure the first
woman, be it wife. mother, daughter,
or sister, who should arrive with the
monday meal of either of them. They
all took the oath, and the last man
had hardly been sworn, when Man
oil S own vile appeared, carrying her
husbands dinner. The oath was kept
and the woman, known in the legend
as Flora of the Felds," was mur-
dered and her blood and flesh incor-
porated with the wall of masonry.
A curious custom Of the Bulgarian
masons (the above scene is laid in Bull
garia) which survives to this day, tes-
titles to the vitality Of the legend. To
