CHAPTER XIV.

In a land OF class privilege and off,
cial graft 1t is often only In times Of
anarchy that poor man can get his
rights. For eight months Hooker had
battled against the petty intrigue OF
Aragon and the agente mineral. and
then suddenly, when the times turned
to war and fear gripped at their hearts.
he rose up and claimed his own. hold
ing out his brawny right hand and de-
msnding the concession of his mine.
In day the whirliglg of fortune had
turned, and 4 was the fighting man
who dominated. He spoke quietly and
made no threats, but the look In his
eye was enough. and the agente gave
him his papers. Then he wrote out q
receipt for the mining tax and Bud
stepped forth like a king.
With his papers inside his shirt and
a belt of gold around his waist there
was nothing left In Mexico for him.
Once on his horse and headed for the
line and he could laugh at them all.

trust and look the world In the eye.
II had been a long and strenuous
fight; a fight made against seemingly
insurmountable odds: a fight that had
cost him much. but he had won. He
had proved the trust Kruger had
placed In him. and 1t had been a fight
worth winning.
Yes, he was a man now-but his
work was not quite done. Up at the
big house. with the screeching women
around her, was Gracia Aragon. and
he owed her something for his rough
words. To pay her for that he would
stay. Whatever she asked now he
would grant Il: and II worst came to
worst he would take her with him and
make good his promise 10 Phil He
had given his word and that was
enough. Now he had only to walt.

their ammunition they had the town at
their mercy. and the first thing that
they would demand would be the refu-
gees in the big house.
Before that could be permitted the
Americans would probably take a
hand In the fight, for. while the great
majority of the women in the house
were Mexican. there were few
Americans. and they would be pro-
tected regardless OF international COM
plications. But Gracia Aragon was
DOT an American, and she could not
claim the protection Of these country
men of his.
The possession OF the town; the
arms of the defenders: food. clothing
and horses to ride-none of these
would satisfy them. They would de-
mand the rich Spanish landowners to

Letter TO a Southern Senator
On the Panama Canal
Question.
United States Senate.

United States Senate.
April 10, 1914.
Nay DEAR FRIEND: Of course, you have
4VA read the Presidents address to the joint
session of Congress the question of
repeating the Free Tolls Bill AS an orr
ginal proposition, l opposed to Free
Tolls But I cannot consent to the request
of the President that the Canal shall be turned
over to European powers and used as their
interests may dictate without regard as to how
it may affect the American people. President
Wilson's request that do this without inquir-
ing as to whether it is right wrong is to my
mind affront to the intelligence and patriotism
of the Congressman and Senators. He has made
it impossible for to act the question Of tolls
by making the issue the question of sovereignty
over the canal Let me know what you think
about it. 1t is manifest that presidential power
will be used to crook the pregnant hinges Of the
knee that patronage might follow fawning. Of
course that does not appeal to me. But it has
the effect of making go the other way.
Cordially and sincerely,
SOUTHERN SENATOR.

(ANsWER.) }.
My Dear Senator,
Yours received.

Irrespective of the Presidents tactless
expressions, and regardless of Bryans
blunder in granting free tolls to Colombia
"by England's consent" I would earnestly
support the repeal Of the free tolls act.
The American coast-wise ships already
enjoy monopoly; and, if given the Special
Privilege of free tolls, will deprive our .peo-
pie of the benefits of competition between
American bottoms, and Canadian, German,
French, italian and British ships.
Our big railroads own coast-wise vessels.
Even the Central Railroad of Georgia owns
its line of steamers. Why should it be given
through our Panama Canal?
The Central of Ga. was watered from
$7,50O,O00 up to $55,000,000 by j. P. Morgan.
We are now taxed to pay dividends on eight
times more than the property cost. Should
the vessels Of such a cormorant (Owned In
Wall Street) have the free use of our Canal?
All our big r. r. systems are in the same
class. They have been Morganized and Har-
rimanized, until their capitalization is six or
eight times greater than the cost Of the prop
erty.
If they should have the free use of Canal
that cost us about half-a-billion dollars, we
will have added that amount to their real
valuation, ooith0ut the expenditure Of q cent
By tAemo
With that much value added to their prop
erty, they will issue at least that amount of
additional stock, and the people will be
taxed to pay dividends on it.
Mr.. Hearst and his family are heavily
interested in the Hartman system of Rail
roads, including, of course, the Southern
Pacific. The Hartman Estate also owns the
Wells-Fargo Express Co. which recently
absorbed the United States Express Com
pany.
Now, why should the unprivileged millions
of American people build vastly expensive
Canal for the sole benefit of Mr. Hearst the
Hartman Estate, the Express Companies,
and the gigantic transportation companies?
Was the Panama Canal intended for the
benefit of ALL or for the monopoly of few?
Shall it be stolen, under legal forms, by
those Unsuitable Wall Street interests which
have robbed us so numerically with their
Money Trust, their Railroad iuggles, their
Power-site grabs, and their Express Com
pany eXtortiOns?

is allowed to hog our Canal we will be abso-
lutely enclosed within an impossible Chinese

They promised, in The Chronicle, to show

They made this written promise the day

With monopoly Of our Canal, the circle

The amount of the loot caught in such a

ducing millions of our country.
Whatever the producers make, over and

robbers will get,
That is very nearly the case now.
The Canal offers us door of hope: for
humanity's sake, don't close it.
Don't mar that vast waterway with Special
Privilege, which inevitably breeds soulless
monopoly.
Let it be the same Canal for alias free a

Special Privilege is the curse of the whole

Anybody with thimble- full Of sense ought

to little Colombia, and refuse it to our own

flag of Colombia, and will thus escape the

other countries can do. IF any flag carries a

Whenever Special Privilege is granted, it
is always abused. You have seen this illus

It is constantly violated by ambassadors,

advantage Of his Special Privilege to carry

quantity of French silks, laces embroideries,

In conclusion, let me say that even if we
