HAYDEN DISCUSSES THE METAL
QUESTION

Copper and silver and the in
dustrial future for producers of
these two important metals we're
discussed in detail by United
States Senator Carl Hayden at
a rouslng open air Democratic
rally held Wednesday night in
front of the Office of the Nogales
International in Grand avenue.
The splendid address marked
Senator Hayden's appearance on
the same platform with 5 other
Democratic candidates now max
ing q state wide campaign for
all candidates on the ticket from
president to constable. Those
with Hayden, all of whom spoke
briefly to the large crowd OF
Santl Cruz county voters-men

nominee for corporation commits
sioner, and Herman E. Hendrix.
nominee for superintendent of
public instruction.
Judge Frank J. Duffy, Santa
Cruz county Democratic chair
man, presided and introduced
his old time friend, Carl Hayden,
follow the appearance of other
state candidates.
Senator Hayden Immediately
launched into an Intelligent sur.
vey of the silver situation by
showing how Mr.. Mellon and
the Republican party bad double.
crossed American producers OF
white metal" and how the de
basement of silver coinage abroad
and the placing of India on
gold standard had ruined foreign
markets for American silver.
He presented as his remedy
provions of q bill which be has
introduced into congress, and
which will allow European ma
tions to pay their war debts to
the United States in silver as
we'll as gold. The immediate
effect of this plan, be declared,
would re, e,-open American silver
mines and bring the price of that
metal back to pre-war levels.
AS the result of the present
situation in silver, be said, the
Democratic party stands pledged
to call an international confer
ence to seek some solution to re.
store silver markets of the world.
Taking up the copper condi
tions of the United States, Sena
tor Hayden pointed out the
reasons for agitation of per
manent copper tariff after years
of silence on the same question.
I'VE ind that copper produc-
ers did not seek duties on the
metal when the time came to
write all the tariff laws of the
last decade because they did not
need q tariff" Senator Hayden
said. But the same high prices
that held them from asking such
q favor brought about the swift
development Of copper mines
abroad.
"Thus when prices crashed in
1880, not only did the producers
have q great amount OF copper
on hand, but they found them
selves faced with the prospect OF
ruin through cheaper copper
from Africa and South America.
Then it became not a qnes-
ton of saving the copper pro

were allowed to live there.
His first ranch was near the present site Of
Miami, Okla. But he moved about several
times, and in 1879 he established his lOl

Then came the FIRST Of the long chain Of
misfortunes. There was panic that year, and
Kansas City firm that had acted as Colonel
Millers agent in all his cattle dealings, failed.
He had had 100000 credit on the COM
pany's books; the failure wiped that out. and
brought the revelation that certain bills that the

course. yielded a nice profit to the
Millers.
Then misfortune began to
strike at the family again.
Joe Miller. eldest Of the
three brothers, lost his life in
1927 in an unusual automobile
accident. He had been working
on the motor of his car. and ap-
parently was overcome by carbon

they got through he had only a

for agriculture. Heretofore they
had never planted anything. de-

livelihood. That year they planted
5000 acres of wheat.
The harvest was bountiful-
more than 10000 bushels. Wheat
was selling at $l.20 a bushel that
year. The Millers came back!
That was the beginning of their
