GOODWIN GIVES VIEWS.
Congressman From This District Talks of
 National Affairs.

W. s Goodwin is spen 1'ne a few days at home looking after business matters and greeting his friends after months of labor in congress. We succeeded in getting MT Good win to talk some for publication, though he Is not much given to
 handing out interviews upon public questions Mir. Goodwin is one of the best posted men in con- gress and is thoroughly conversant with every public question before the people today. He is thorough ly in accord with the administra- tion, s policies and programs for constructive legislation for the regular session of congress which eonvenes in December.
 He came in NV days ago from Sherman, Texas, where Mrs. Good win is now located Mrs. Goodwin's health is not materially changed. but there is hope that she will gain in health in her new location and in time will be able to return to Warren. We quote the following from MT Goodwin's interview:
 This administration is beyond question the most popular with the people of any admins ration since the days of Andrew Jackson.

And when the crop movement came on this fall, MT McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, scattered $5O.OOO,OOO throughout the West and South for this purk os , instead of lending it to certain big banks in New York as the Republican administrations had been doing.
 The tariff bill recently passed is the lowest in 15 years and be- sides reducing the rate radically on many necessaries of life. puts all farming machinery and tools and bagging and ties and many necessities on the free list.
 We have the worst currency system of any great country on earth, based largely as it is on the national banking law, which has so largely grown as a result of the civil war; but the present banking and currency bill now under con- sideration will be a great improve ment on the present law and will scatter the money over the coun- try and greatly relieve the money conjestion of New York City. This bill as it passed the House will permit the agricultural people to borrow money on warehouse certificates issued to the people for cotton and grain and other
