WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS.
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its International Popularity.

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that this
one brand could be so different from
all others.
The answer to this question Is to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: process Patented July 30th.
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by a patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men of every taste of every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years con-
tinuous work and study and fortune
in money to perfect But the result
has proven to be worth all that was
expended upon it, because it has set
free men who believed they never
could enjoy pipe or mak;n's cigar
cite.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke a pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue. Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. That is cut out
by the patented process, leaving for
the smoker only the joys of the frag-
rant tobacco.
1t is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived" just about six years ago, It
has made three men smoke pipes
where one smoked pipe before!

ence the rates of exchange. and in
this way to strengthen the position of
the new financial system The unpre-
cedented volume of exports to Great
Britain and France during the war has
caused an abnormal accumulation of
gold in this country, so that the Amer
lean gold total now exceeds $2,000,O0O,-
QUO, which sum is greater than that
ever held before by any two nations
in the world. The immediate purpose
of Governor Strong's mission, how
ever, is to protect the gold supply
rather than to promote any objects
of general policy.
1t is believed in financial circles that
after the restoration of peace, when
the beligerent nations seek to gain
their industrial independence, they
will make vigorous effort to recover
the gold previously sent to this coun-
try. In pursuance of this object for
eign financial leaders may insist upon
gold payments, even at sacrifice of
profits. Through the establishment of
foreign agencies the reserve banks
could buy large amount of bills of
exchange and in this way meet the
payments of American importers
without drawing on the gold supply.
At present, however. the Reserve
Boards plans are purely tentative, and
nothing in the wav of establishing
agencies abroad will be taken until
after the end of the war. While hos
tilities continue the gold supply will
not be attacked and it is not neces-
sary to face any emergency before it
occurs.

For a second time, this administra-
ton has declared an embargo on
munition shipments into Mexico. The
first embargo was for the purpose OF
preventing Huerta from getting arms.
That embargo was removed so that
Villa could be supplied. Now the en-
barge has been established so that
Villa cannot get fighting material. And
all this by a President who announced
his intention of not interfering in
Mexico. though he took possession of
a Mexican city by force of arms and
then withdrew.

POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM
WASHINGTON, D. e.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20. (Spe-
cial Correspondence The trip of
the President is over and / do no,
think he has won a single member OF
| Congress over to his plan of prepared
ness" said a Democratic member talk
ing to a group of his colleagues. I'VE
have ninety Democrats who are OPP
posed to this military program OF
President Wilson. and so far as l
know, there is not a faltering men,
| Der in Our ranks. When this matter
comes up for consideration, am con-
| fdent every one of these men will
stand firm, for we all believe we are
battling for a principle. The speeches
of the President which often border
ed on the hysterical. have not stirred
the American people so far as | have
been able to learn. | think the Amer
lean people have got the idea pretty
we'll into their heads that this was
political junket on the part OF the
President. and they have refused to
be fired up" by his beautiful rhetoric
or his catchy expressions. This meet
ing We had in Washington during his
absence, which was protest against
his plans and his methods, was mighty
significant. The great theatre where
it was held was packed to the doors
and | think the enthusiasm and Sentl-
ment that was back of us on that oc-
casion radiates the views of the great
army of Democrats all over the coun-
try"
IF the Republican party comes out
plain and straight for a restoration,
improvement and further development
of the rural mail service. in its next
national platform, it will get the votes
of thousands and thousands of farm
ers in this country, many of whom
have heretofore identified themselves
with the Democratic party" said a
middlewest Congressman on the floor
of the House. "Since the Wilson adj
ministration assumed control of the
government, in the interest of what it
termed economy. it has been curtail-
ing, Gripping, and recognizing the
rural routes of the country. The
question of service has not been con-
sidered. 1t was purely question OF
saving money at the expense and to
the detriment of the postal facilities
of the people who live on the farms.
Routes have been changed from places
where facilities for through mail were
good and hitched on to post Offices
which had had no through mails at all.
From one end of the country to the
other this has caused dissatisfaction
and grumbling and the farmers are up
in arms over this policy. They know
that rural delivery was created. fost-
cred and developed by the Republican
party. and if the party takes strong
stand in favor of this at Chicago, it is
goin~ to get the rural vote all over the
country"

A news item which has consider
able bearing upon the investment mar
ket was the announcement last week
that ]. p. Morgan & Co. had sold to
the United Steel Corporation for &C
count of the British Treasury ST.
100000 of the corporation first col
lateral trust 5 per cent sinking fund
gold bonds, due 1851. This block
OF bonds was previously held by the
Carnegie Foundation Funds in Scot
land and were sold by the trustees
of the funds about three months ago
to the English Government in fur
thering the plan of mobilizing Amer
lean securities for sale back to this
country. Ever since it was announced
in cable dispatches that the Carnegie
bonds had been disposed of in Scot
land, investment dealers on this side
had been eager for information regard
ing them. The securities were part
of the 1904 100000 issue made for the
especial purpose of paying Andrew
Carnegie and his partners for their
properties when they sold out to the
Steel Corporation, and they have since
been considered one of the best in
dustrial investments. Bond men were
anxious to buy in the Scotch bonds,
but nothing was heard of them until
their transfer to the Steel Corporation
became public. The Corporation took
advantage of the opportunity of buy
ing in their bonds at time when de-
posts in bank amounted to consider
ably more than $l0O000,OO0. 1t is un-
derstood thatthe block will be added
to others held in the sinking fund,
there to be kept alive The interest
paid on them will work to build up
the fund available for the purchase
of more bonds.
Protecting Our Gold Supply.
How to protect that present abnor-

cessive demands of Europe for the
yellow metal, is question which is

doubt. The only uncertain factor in
