IRIS A WALL STREET TRICK
FlNANClERS TRYING TO DEFEAT
CURRENCY BILL.
Secretary MeAdoo Charges Decline Of
Government Bonds to New
York Banks.

| Washington, July 29.-Secretarv Nc
Adoo has issued statement fatty
charging that the decline of govern
ment 2 per cent bonds to ninety-Hve
and a half-a new low record-was
due almost wholly to what appears
to be campaign waged with every
indication of concerted action on the
part of a number of influential New
York City banks to cause aprrehen.
sion and uneasiness about these bonds
in order to help them in theft efforts
to defeat the Currency bill"
Banks throughout the country own
almost entirely $730,SS2.13O of the 2
per cents. Their market value now
is approximately $30,000,OQp less than
When the banks bought them. Almost
all the entire issue is used as secur-
;ty for national bank notes. At the
present price, however, the discrep'
ancy between the market value and
the issues Of notes against the bonds
is covered by what is known as the
:, per cent redemption fund, deposited
by the banks with the treasury to
care for retirements OF national bank
notes.
Secretary McAdoo announced it was
not his intention to require the BANKS
to charge off the present depre citation
below par, but that the banks might
continue to put in the bonds at par in
their statements to the comptroller OF
the currency, at least until some ma
terial change in conditions should
compel the adoption of another
course"
In his statement Secretary McAdoc
declared the per cents were worth
rar Notwithstanding their decline in
the New York market, and continued:
The idea seems to be that the coun-
try banks, which hold about two.thirds
of the per cent bonds and use them
as the basis for their circulating
notes, may be induced to unite with
the New York City banks in opposi.
ton to the bill if they can be made
to believe that the proposed currency
measure is going to injure these bonds
and cause losses to the banks. This
is, Of course, unfounded.

LIVELY Tits N THE SENATE
LONG DEBATE DELAYS THE
TARIFF BILL.
eristow Of Kansas stirs Up the Demo.
Gratis by Attacks on the Chem
ical Schedule.

Washington, July 26.-The detailed
attacks by Senator Bristow Of Kansas
on items of the chemical schedule OF
the tariff bill drew spirited return fire
from Senator Williams. Senator Bris.
tow also had verbal skirmish with
Senator Reed and so prolonged the
debates as to cause Senator Stone to
leave the chamber with the remark
that the entire discussion was SILLY"
The Kansas senator declared the
Democratic tariff bill would discrimi-
nate in favor of the manufacturer and
against the farmer. On account Of
the long debate less than ten para
graphs OF the chemical schedule were
approved during the day.
Senator Williams Of Mississippi
said that the Democrats had found it
difficult to deal logically with the tariff
because the industrial condition had
been placed on high stills by years of
Republican protection. This prompted
Senator Cummins to ask why the
Democrats had not cut off a little of
both "stil:ed legs" instead Of leaving
the industrial bod, crippled with the
manufacturing leg Longer than the az.
ricutural leg.
Senator Williams replied shat they
were afraid it would kill the poor
thing to walk straight all at onc>."
Senator Shoots amendment to re-
duce the duty on lanolin, or wrol
grease, of one cent pound to halt
cent pound was rejected. Senator
'ristow wanted to know why, with
wool on the free list, the Democrats
began to tax the by-products as soon
as the wool left the Sleeps back. Sen
ator Bristow and Senator Reed had
wordy conflict over the tariff on wool
grease, which extended into partisan

First Regiment Emcampment.

Anderson, S. c., July 16.-Every
effort is being made here locally and
by the Publicity Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce to make the
encampment of the South Carolina
National Guards, First Regiment,
memorable in the history of encamp-
ments in this state or throughout the
South. Plans not exceedingly elab-
crate but sufficiently entertaingly
and simple as to warrant most sue
cessful encampment having been
made, and especially so from the
standpoint of the visitor.
Anderson is one of the most beau
tiful and progressive cities in the
South, having nearly 10000 people,
fine churches, schools, public build
ings, many manufacturing plants,
street railway and interurban rail-
ways both to Greenville and Green
wood, S. c., and is located in the
beautiful scenic foothills of the Blue
Ridge mountains. 1t is noted for the
elaborateness of it's hospitality. No
VISITOR VINO comes to the encampment
will ever regret it. He will be able
to see not only one of the great cities
of the State but also to have an es-
pecial opportunity to. view the en-
campment and the movement of the
soldiers with various gun practice,
dress parade, etc. Special enter
tainment will be provided at Buena
Vista park, beautiful country place,
reached by the cars of the Anderson
Electric railway.
Low rates are announced by all
important railways, and also the
electric interurban lines. Governors
