some time. he himself gave the an
swer. which drew from Washington
such a look as he never experienced
before or since. On arriving at his
conclusion Washington turned to CAL
latin and said, 'you are right, young
man. .
OF this incident John Austin Ste
sens, who wrote the biography of Gal
latin in the "American Statesman"
series, published by Houghton Mifflin
company, says:
The look which Washington is said
to have given Mr.. Gallatin has its
counterpart in that with which he is

of the PENNSYLVANIA assembly conven-
ton; he was member of the legis-

years he had then been in America,

He liked the life there where con.

greater equality. AS he expressed 1t,

In 1901 he became secretary 81 Me
treasury IN Jefferson's cabinet and
held the office for twelve years Dur.
ing this time he made the. work of
his department Ineligible through the
budget system, and some assert that
as a financial genius he ranks with
Hamilton. Gallatin did not care for
the position, as he would have pre-
ferrea TO study law and practice 1t
in New York city or in Philadelphia:
but when appointed secretary. he felr
It his duty to accept, although he
feared lie was not equal to the task.
On leaving the cabinet. Gallatin
served his adopted country quite as
effectively as diplomat. According
to Henry Adams. "Far more than con.
temporaries ever supposed, or than
is now imagined, the Treaty of Client
was the special work and the peculiar
triumph of Mr.. Gallatin." His sirewd
ness and tact won the day, where an
other man. differently endowed might
have failed Following his successful
and adroit diplomacy in bringing
about the Treaty of Client. insuring
peace between England and America
Mr.. GaIIatin was sent as minister 10
France. and later to England.
The mission to England ended Gal,
latins official life. but not his intel
Iectuaf activity. Retiring to New
York. he spent the last years of his
life in pursuing his favorite study of
ethnology. and promoting education.
In this manner. he csefully rounded
out his lightweight years, dying In
i849.
The historian Henry Adams, grand
son of John Quincy Adams and great
|, grandson Of John Adams, in his .I.ife
of GalIatin" says that. as secretary Of
the treasury during the eight years of
Jefferson's Presidency. and for four
years while Madison was President.
Gallatin deserves equal recognition
with Hamilton as the founder III our
financial system.
Hamilton's theory was that the II
nancial policy of the country should
originate with the secretary ofDfhe
treasury. and that congress shbnld
acquiesce in registering his win. Al
bert Gallatin. while member Of bon
gress, organized the ways and means
committee for the purpose of holding
the secretary of the treasury in check
New York recognized The high position
won by Gallatin by giving his name to
one Of its great banking institutions.
