WINGFIELD SEES GOOD
IN NEW CURRENCY LAW
Urges bankers to Aid in Working
Out It's Promises for the
General Good.

The Reno Gazette has interviewed
George Wingfield, relative to his op-
inion on the new banking and cur
rency law. Mr.. Wingfield, who is
president of the Nixon National bank
of Reno. the First National bank at
Winnemucea and banks at Carson
City and Goldfeld, is quoted as stat
ing his belief that the law is a good
one, and that 1t will be of large bene-
fit to the nation. Mr.. Wingfield says
in part.
One of the seemingly bad features
of the law is that unless closely
watched some of the banks will at
tempt to pyramid credits. For in
stance, bank will discount some of
its paper with regional bank and
with the proceeds make more loans
and then discount these, and so on.
The result of this would be that, in
times Of stress, the banks would
have discounted all available paper
and would have no leeway to obtain
more currency to protect themselves.
However. this danger will be elimi-
mated undoubtedly through the close
attention of the managers of the
regional banks, who will be watch
ing for just such attempts.
THE system of management and
supervision of the regional and MEM
Der banks seems to be unassailable.
This law Is the result of inyestiga-
tions started several years ago un-
der the past Republican administra-
tion, and IL can be seen that the ut
most care has been exercised in try
ing to cover every point and to pre-
vent as many defects from develop
ing as is possible.
ITO summarize: | believe that the
law as whole is a good one and
that bankers should do everything
possible to aid In working 1t out SO
as to bring the greatest advantages
to themselves and to the nation.

HOLDS BRYAN RESPONSIBLE FOR
ELIMINATION OF WOOL TARIFF
FRANK GOODING, FORMER GOVERNOR
SALT LAKE CITY CONVENTION OF NATIONAL WOOLGROW-
ERs SAYS NATIONS SECRETARY STATE


The Democratic tariff and the adj
ministration's summary treatment Of
the wool schedule have come In for
some hard knocks from the speakers
at the National Woolgrowers' con-
vention at Salt Lake City. There is
"a difference of opinion between
Democratic politicians aud the wool
growers as to the Democratic policy
of free wool. and the situation is
creating deep interest in Nevada,
that is not only a mining state but
is also a sheep producing state of
considerable Importance. Particular
ly during the discussion of the
tariff bill before it's enactment was
Nevada in the limelight owing to the
contra attitudes of her Democratic
senators on the wool question, Sena-
tor Newlands opposing the party
measure for a tariff change that he
maintained would strike a blow to
the prosperity of his state. while
in his views that the wool indus
try of the state was of minor i'm
portance and conducted by a class
of citizens of not much standing.
The severest arraignment of the
Democratic party was made by Gov.
Frank r. Gooding of Idaho, Friday
who also lambasted William Jen-
nines Bryan in a way that must have
made the secretary's ears burn.
Opportunity for delivery of the
speech was afforded when Hugh c.
Wood of Spencer, Idaho, insisted
upon commission men explaining TO
the convention why charges for sale
of sheep in eastern markets had in
creased IS per cent in the past ten
years. Mr.. Wood called upon A. j.
Knollin. eastern vice president of the
association. who Is both a sheepman
and commission man. to explain.
Knollin quoted percentages to prove
that the commissions charges were
just.
Gooding took the floor to answer
him. Before the first sentence OF the
former governors speech was finish
ed the delegates knew what he In
tended to do and applause was lusty.
When he accused William Jennings
Bryan OF being the power behind the
thone In the matter of taking the
tariff off wool and said. William
Jennings Bryan, either through his
ignorance or through desire to
ruin the industry of the American
sheep growers. caused the ID per
cent duty to be stricken from the
Democratic tariff bill. pan
demonium broke loose and there was
no checking the enthusiasm of the
delegates.
Governor Gooding called upon the
National Woolgrowers association TO
fight the commission men of the east
nv establishing stockyards, feeding
stations and agencies in the market
centers of the country and handling
the business of selling sheep in the
same manner that California growers
sell citrus fruits of that state.
He characterized the commission
men as persons who did not con-

tribute to the production of sheep
or wool and said that while the sheep
men of the country were again fac
ing as severe test as they went
through in 1S93-1S94, yet the COM
mission men instead of trying to aid
the woolgrowers to better their con-
dition had placed a higher rate for
the sale of the product. Mr.. Good
ing declared that the high cost of
living was due to the middle man,
who, he said. received practically as
much for selling the products Of the
farms as the farmers received for
those products.
'In the past ten years the charges
of the commission men at Chicago
have increased Is per cent or from
So per car to s15 a car said Mr.
Gooding.
"In the same time the number of
commission houses has increased. In
stead of fifty handling the business,
as should be done. We have 200 in
Chicago alone. The middleman is
responsible for the high cost of living
and here, when the sheepmen of this
nation are facing a time which is to
try the hearts of all, these men place
higher commission charge upon the
sale OF sheep and in order to market
our product We must pay 1t"
After stating that in the sale and
distribution of farm products there is
waste annually of 1880, 900, 600.
Mr. Gooding said:
"Our products have been put in
competition with the products of the
world. The foreigners with 40-cent
freight haul by water, with cheaper
labor. cheaper feed and cheaper
everything, have had the market o.
the American farmer and American
wool producer thrown open to them
by the Democratic party, which did
not have courage enough to stand by
the country and its people, but
struck from the tariff bill every item
that gave protection to the American
producer.
"Selfishness will destroy nations
and | believe with Cardinal Gibbons
that American business interests

gard William Jennings Bryan as the
most selfish man in the world. II
was he who ordered the 15 per cent
duty stricken from the tariff bill and
II was he who did his best eithey
through his ignorance or his desire
to ruin the sheep owners of this
country. to thwart the intention OF
the Democratic national convention.
"The greatest example of his self
ishness is his travelling about this
country a few short years ago frown-
ing upon anything that cost more
than a silver dollar. Now he leaves
his post, the second greatest in this
nation. to troop about the country
