10 Hear The Inside Story
Of "High Finance"

"standpat" Republicans were cry
ing "panic?" Or did you hold it
for the advance which Democrats
predicted would occur? If you
were Influenced by the "standpat-
ters" your bank account is not as
fat as it should be, but if you
needed the optimists of Democracy
you are now figuring on purchas-
ing new automobile.
| do not want to rub it in, but |
think as Democrats we are justified
in devoting little time to this
question of the effect of the tariff
on the price of wool.
Through all the years the Dem
ocrats have said that the tariff on
wool was a fake and fraud, which
was placed on the statute books for
the sole purpose of deceiving the
farmers of this country and thus
winning their support for the high
protective system. Time and again
we pointed out that wool was com.
manding AS high and sometimes
higher price in free trade Eng
land than in protected America,
and we argued that the wooden
trust controlled the market in this
country and could fix the price it
would pay the wool men for their
clips.
When we placed wool on the free
list the wool buyers throughout
the country made a concerted effort
to stampede the wool men. They
offered ridiculously low prices for
the various grades and insisted

RURAL CREDITS.

President Wilson has decided not
to attempt to force farm-loan bill
through congress at this session
He is willing that adjournment
should be had after the antitrust
bills have been enacted.
The president evidently reached
this decision reluctantly and only
after he became convinced that the
committee which had been en-
trusted with the Legislation would
not be able to frame bill which
could run the gauntlet OF both
houses.
The subject will be taken up in
dead earnest at the December SEES
sion, and with the assistance Of the
man in the White House will be
put through.

that still further drop was prob
able.
The Republican orators and news
papers backed up the wool buyers
by telling lood-curdling tales of
the hard times which always
marked Democratic administra-
tions.
The com mbination was too much
for most sheep men and they sold
at the bottom prices. OF course
the deception could not be main
tained forever and the prices of
wool have now returned to normal
and in many instances far above
the average.
1t would be interesting to know
just how much the wooden trust
pro6ted from this team work be-
tween the Republican politicians
and the wool buyers.
1t is probable that the total
would be represented by at least
seven figures.
The sheep man is not likely to
forget. He has a pretty good
memory, and he will make it inter-
esting for the next standpatter
who attempts to talk to him about
the blessings of protection.

FOLK has tackled the biggest job of
his career. He achieved national
tame when as prosecuting attorney
he sent some St LOUIS grafters to
the penitentiary, but that was
chllds play compared to the task
on which he is now engaged as
chief counsel for the interstate
commerce commission.
He has induced Charles s. Mel.
len, former president of the New
Haven railroad system, to turn
states evidence and tell the sordid
story of how the Captain Kidds of
high finance looted that tremen-
dously valuable property. At this
writing Mellen's testimony has not
been given in public, but he should
be in the witness chair when this
letter is printed, and | want every
one of my readers to follow his evi
dence. The daily press will un-
doubtedIy carry full reports, and a
little later the hearings will prob
ably be printed and you can Sc
cure copies from your congress-
man.
The New Haven deal" was en-
gineered by j. Pierpont Morgan,
1.-THE emperor of American finance"
now dead. He wanted monopoly
of the railroad, trolley and steam
ship lines of New England. He
carried his point, but at a fearful
cost. He made Mellen president
of the New Haven and supplied
him with unlimited cash. How
Mellen executed the orders of his
chief will be told by himself and
will be supported by documentary
evidence which cannot be ques-
toned.
IT WILL BE THE MOST
AMAZING STORY OF HIGH
FINANCE EVER RELATED IN
THE UNIFIED STATES.
We have heard a good deal about
the money trust and how it uses
the peoples money to impoverish
the many and enrich the few.
Muckrakers have written about
"the SYSTEM economists have sug-
gested methods to curb its opera
tions and politicians have prom
ised to destroy it, but it continued
to flourish. Now we are to get the
"inside story" from the lips of the
man who knows every cog in the
machine.
When Attorney General Mercy
nolds cautioned Folk that by Civ
ing Mellen an opportunity to tes.
tify he might be rendering him
immune to criminal prosecution
the terror of the grafters replied:
1T is more important that the
people of this country should know
the truth than that any individual
should go to Jail.
Folk was right Perhaps Mel
len could be sent to the peniten-
tiary for his otlenses, but the peo-
pie are much more interested in
destroying the system which pro-
duced Mellen than they are in
Furnishing Mellen.

Is A WONDERFUL ROAD
That from Vera Cruz to Mexico City
Was Built By Cortez.

The good roads movement was be-
Cortez. He and his followers and the
Indians he impressed into his service
built the bowlder- paved highway that
Is crossed and recrossed by the modern
railways and connecting Vera Cruz and
the capital city. So we'll did they build
that long sections Of this road have al
ways since been traversable and dur
ing the stage coach era it was kept in
excellent condition. Travel in those
days began with daylight and ended
with dusk, for there were brigands
abroad then as we'll as now. Fifteen
years ago remarkable trip was made
from the city Of Puebla in an automo-
bile over this paved way with very lit
tie trouble. Here and there the noun
tain torrents have washed out portions
but so we'll was the route chosen that
many miles Of practically undisturbed
paving exists, with a straight and
plum" retaining wall. OF course these
famous Spanish mansions had the ad

used for centuries before. Narrow
winding paths they were, tacking in
and out Of the little canyons but al
ways climbing higher in the great
gorge that led up between the noun
tains Of the range that had to be cross
ed after leaving the low, hot country
and before entering the high hung val
ley Of Mexico.
In recent years, in response to the
world wide demand for good roads for
automobiles, parts Of this and other
old Spanish roads in Mexico have been
rebuilt according to the most approved
modern methods, but the traveller to-
day may look out of his Pullman win
dow and see little bands of laden bur-
ros being driven by Indians vending
their way along the Cortez road, the
same broad highway that has borne
the traffic Of centuries The CorteZ
road is twice as wide as the famous
Appian way Of Rome, and as we'll con-
structed as the old Roman roads Of
England. Indeed, it has been said that
the Spaniard should be called the pion-
eer road builder Of America, as the
Roman is Of Europe.
Many of the Mexican Indians still
look with fear and suspicion upon rail-
road travel and many cannot afford to
pay the price Of a journey ever so short
so they traverse many miles barefoot
ed over the mountain trails that lead
into the Cortez road and the railroad
that has now outrivaled it. The writer
once saw a caravan Of Indians descend
ing a steep mountain path, each carry
ing upon his back a mahogany rail-
road tie, which he would sell to the
Mexican railway for the munificent
sum of six cents. But even those por-
tions of the railroad that were laid
upon solid mahogany will be worn to
dust, while the old CorteZ road, paved
with torrent washed cobbles, will en-
dure, perhaps, another 400 years.

cation:

| likewise Mr.. Rittenberg. He knows it
however, through an entirely different
| channel. The editor Of the News and
| Courier did fight when I insulted him
and Mr.. Rittenberg did not. More than
year ago Mr.. Rittenberg told me q
wilful lie, and upon the first occasion
| told him so, and he simply walked
away. | think, therefore, for either Mr.
| Rittenberg or the editor Of the News
and Courier, manifestly for malicious
political purposes, to create the i'm
preston that I had anything whatso-
ever to do with the affair at the Argyle

ardly, but characteristic. Knowing Mr..
Rittenberg as l do, have no reason to
believe his version Of the facts leading
up to it. | do not believe anything that
he says until it is corroborated. OF
course, it may be true. II true, 1 am
very sorry to have to say that l do not

Mr.. Rittenberg to the hotel. l do, not,
however, for a moment attribute these
tactics to any cowardice on Mr.. Hart

derstand he was drinking. He had ev-
cry reason to feel the bitterest resent
ment against Mr.. Ritenberg, because
Mr. Hartnett had been delegate to
Columbia, and was present all the time
during the hearing when Mr.. Ritten-
berg was flying around whispering into
the ears of members Of the committee
suggestions upon which they asked
some of our witnesses the most embar-
RAISING and irrelevant questions. For
instance, when II. +. Hogan was testi-
flying, before everybody, Rittenberg got
up, rushed over to one Of the commit
tee and in a few minutes the commit
teeman asked Hogan, What is your
nickname?' AS Mr.. Rittenberg was a
delegate on the fake delegation which
the convention seated, these things
were done to the detriment Of Mr..
Hartnett as much as anyone else on
our delegation, and if it had not been
that the action Of the committee was a
fo.egone conclusion anyhow, they
might have prejudlced the case.

RooSEvELTS RIVER OF DOUBT
Colonel Tells of His Interesting Dis
covery in South America.

Washington, May 26.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt tonight told the story Of his
South American explorations and sub
mitted his evidence Of the discovery of
a 1,000-mile river to the National
Geographic society. The big auditori-
um Of Washington's convention hall
was crowded with members and guests
Of the society, leaders Of official life
and Of society.
Colonel Roosevelt made his talk from
Of South America, a big screen and a
blackboard on which was drawn a
scale chart Of portion Of the Amazon
river with it's tributaries, Madeira and
Tapajosi. The chart showed the new
water course described by Colonel
Roosevelt in dotted lines.
Long before the colonel reached the
hall the crowd began to arrive, filling
the building and sending the tempera-
ture well on its way to 80 degrees.
Greeted With Cheers.
When the colonel reached the plat
form n chorus Of cheers greeted him.
He was introduced by G. H. Grosvenor
president of the National Geographic
society, and applause broke out again
as he reached from the stage to shake
hands with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
and Chief Justice White, Of the su-
preme court.
The colonel was attired in evening
dress and seemed to feel the heat He
apologized for the 'dryness' Of his ad
dress.
Nothing Of note can be DONE" he
began, unless you build on the work
that has been done by your predeces-
sors."
He said he had built on the work
done by South American explorers,
during the last eight
years. He characterized his South
American expedition as a "zoo-geo-
