Jackson's one-time antagonist, Thomas
III. Benton, now senator from Mis-
souri,. was his champion, the resolu-
ton was expunged by drawing about
IL In the records heavy black line.
Jackson was equally bold and vic
torious In meeting the threat Of multi
fication. although 1t came from his
own section, from his own party and
from his own vice president, John c.
Calhoun. Shortly before his inaugu-
ration congress passed the first tariff
that was framed for the benefit Of
the new manufacturing industries
which were springing up In New
England. This bestowal of special
privilege aroused the jealousy Of the
agricultural South.
At Democratic banquet In Wash
ington In 1880. President Jackson
rose and proposed this toast: "For
Federal Union; 1t must he pre-
served" Then Vice President CAL
houn got up and toasted the rights
OF the states. Thus the two highest
officials Of the government Joined
issue across that dinner table on a
question which great armies would
fight out In another generation.
Two years afterward convention
In South Carolina solemnly adopted
an ordinance multiplying the tariff act
for that state and forbidding within
the boundaries Of the state the col
lection Of customs duties under II.
While recommending to congress
modification Of the offending tariff.
Jackson appealed to the patriotism Of
the South Carolinans In a proclama-
tion which set all the North and much
OF the South ringing with cheers: or
iered General Scott to the scene Of
threatened trouble: REINFORCED the
forts OF the dissatisfied state; die
patched a naval fleet TO Charleston
harhor. and only waited for the FIRST
overt act Of revolt to give him war
rant for arresting Calhoun and the
other leaders. But the nulliders nulli-
| fed their notification. leaving the res
dilute and patriotic president riding .
high tide of popular favor.
Jackson's pre-eminent service to the
| country was rendered In his battle
| with publication. The tariff WAS
only the pretext." he said. 'disunion
and q southern confederacy the real
object. TIE next pretext will be the
negro" Thanks to him, that ire

due to military and naval expenditures is q
further step'in the right direction.
AS a result of the reduction of inventories
and the liquidation which has gone on,
funds that have accumulated are not re-
quired for working capital and have become
available for investment purposes. There
is likely, for this additional reason, to be q
stronger demand for safe and sound securi-
ties, and the ease with which recent new
issues have been absorbed shows that at
the present time there is no lack of surplus
funds.
THE INVESTMENT bankers of Amer.
lea have developed nationwide selling
organizations, which make possible the
marketing of the very large amount of new
financing necessary In recent years More
than ever individuals have had to depend
upon the reliability of the representations
made by banks and bond houses IN order to
safeguard their investments The investor
must be certain to deal only with banks and
investment houses of unquestioned stznd-
ing, as he himself rarely has the time or
facilities for properly investigating At fust
hand the security upon which the average
bond issue is based.
The dollar which is not at work is as great
an industrial waste as an idle man. It is
injuring its owner and the public. The
dollar that is put at work today by invest
ment in sound bond will not only do its
share In speeding up industry but win in
sure high return to its owner for many
years to come.
The Washington herald., 1921-10-23
ton Of ;Ar1l5esTriica,:

INCOME yield, rather than price, is the
L factor which makes bonds so attractive
to the investor at the present time. Charts
presented herewith show how prices have
declined and yields have Increased. The
public is manifesting appreciation of the
situation by purchasing securities in almost
unprecedented quantities! Consider, for in
stance, the 5000 oversubscription, without
any selling effort, of the recent government
offer Of 5000, 100000 treasury short term
notes and certificates. -,.,- 3. -
Investors who are still out Of the market
may be deferred by fear that the tide has
not definitely turned for the better or by a
feeling that prices may go still lower. We
can not prove that these people are wrong,
but consideration of all factors shows that
the probabilities are that the tide has turned
and that present opportunities for genuine
investment bargains will not long be avail
able.
INITIATION accompanied the war, but
now that the war is over dehation has
taken place and liquidation, in most lines,
seems to be an accomplished fact, as demon
strated conclusively by the statements of
the Federal Reserve System.
Fundamentally the condition of the coun-
try is sound. In spite of the business de-
preston the banks are in good position,
our vast national resources are intact, and
commerce is gaining steadily. Bonds based
on good assets are therefore perfectly safe
and are bound ultimately to rise in value
with increasing prosperity. The rise in
price of government bonds in the past few
months is good proof of this.
SIGNS are not lacking that the formal
peace which ended the war months ago
will be succeeded bysa real peace, and the
coming conference for lessening the burden

Getting Down To Work.
T. Fl. S. Baseball Squad Under
going Strenuous Practice.

going Strenuous ffacClce.
Fresh from their Easter vacation, the
High School ba seball team resumed prac-
tice on Tuesday evening in preparation
for the opening game Of the league sched-
ule with Middl etown on Tuesday, April 8.
| The boys clearly showed the effect OF
their lay-off. for there was lack OF the
former spirit and enthusiasm which they
have been showing thus far. Their play
ing was rather erratic, probably due to
the vacation and to the fall in tempsra-
ture. If the weather permits, the re-
naming four days Of practice will be ones
of hard work. No predictions are being
made for championship. team, but no
effort will be left undone, at least, to
put creditable team on the field.
| Just who shall constitute the lineup
for the initial game is a matter OF much
speculation. Practically every position
is still in doubt. Among the pitchers.
Williar seems to have the call, although
Boiler, JOY and Weller are getting in
shape. C. Rouzer and Foreman are run
ming merry race for the catching job,
with little to choose between them. Nc
Daniel at short, Kelbaugh at third and
Birely at first at times display good form
but they will have to hustle in order to
hold down their positions in creditable
style. Finch has been practicing regu-
larly at second, but this position, too. 10
still open.
The outfeld seems still more uncertain.
There are several candidates for these
positions, but thus far only mediocre
fielding has been shown. c. Knott, the
regular pitcher of last year, will unlikely
be called upon to do much pitching this
year, but will probably play left field.
The other positions must be picked from
among Boiler, Harbaugh, Manahan. Joy.
Tyson and Weller. but any of these will
be tried in the infield also. The batting
and fielding of these six BOYS will be close
" watched from now on, in order to de-
tern,ine the initial lineup. The other
members af the squad will also be given
consideration. With display of more
spirit, enthusiasm, hard work and deter
mination on the.part of the boys. rapid
development of the team is expected.
To help defray the expenses of the
season; Season Tickets, good for the FIVE
home games, will be sold at twenty five
cents. A charge of ton cents will be made
for single admission where no season
! ticket is shown.

Graceham Letter.

A very good attendance is recorded for
the services on Good Friday, viz: the
reading of the Passion Manual, Love
Feast and the Holy Communion. There
is no doubt but what everyone felt the
spirit of the &C casion which caused their
heart to give vent to its feelings. The
choir rendered music very appropriate
to the occasion.
Early Sunday morning found q good
attendance at church and also at the
cemetery where services were held. We
solemnized the Resurrection of Christ
from the dead. May it mean that He
lives forever in our hearts. Let Us re-
joice in the fact that this event made
possible our resurrection, to live with
Him eternally in the Land beyond the
grave.
