Order OF the
Cincinnati

bllity," set themselves and their posterlty apart
from their fellow citizens Of the Republic In an
exclusive order invested with all the privileges
and insignia of aristocracy.
Probably the most influential enemy of the
new order was Samuel Adams the father of
the Revolution" While his views were states
manlike, they were severe. No man, he said
was more ready TO remember gratefully and re
ward the services of the army In the great strug-
gle, but il was astounding that any set Of men
should imagine that a people who had freely
spent blood and treasure in support of equal
rights should the moment the struggle was over
be 'reconciled TO the odous hereditary distinc-
tion of families" He looked upon the Society
of the Cincinnati las stride toward a hered-
tary military nobility as rapid as ever was made
in so short a time, and he could not but lament
a grievous misfortune TO the states, that so
illustrious man as Washington sanctioned It,"
John Adams added his voice to the general
clamOr against the Cincinnati The legislators Of
Massachusetts inspired by resolutions from Cam
bridge the university center denounced the so
ciety as dangerous to the peace, liberty and
safety of the Union" food of pamphleteers
joined the chorus of condemnation.
One OF these Aedanus Burke Revolutionary
veteran and a judge of the Supreme Court Of
South Carolina wrote bitter pamphlet over
tocratic tendencies of the society, which put the
capsheaf on the condemnatory movement. The
pamphlet was reprinted in every state and found
its way across the Atlantic. A copy fell into the
hands of Mirabeau who translated 1t into French
and published 1t in England.
Washington tried to stem the tide of oppos-
tion to the child of his sponsorship by advocat-
ing the repeal Of the provision making the mem
bershps hereditary But it was too late. Pub
lie suspicion had been aroused and the patriots
of the frank and file" had placed their taboo
the order.
feeling against the Cincinnati was the founding
of Tammany Hall, a counter movement in New
York. indicating in a society organized on the
alleged basis of pure democracy" So unpopu-
lar did the Cincinnati become that candidates
for public Office curred favor by denouncing
'the aristocrats" from the stump and instances
are related where men publicly divested them
selves Of the eagle and the ribbon at the polls,
vowing that they had severed their connection
with the society. Rhode Island went to the length
of disfranchising all members of the hated or
ganizaton and one by one the state societies
in Georgia, North Carolina Virginia, Delaware,
Connecticut and New Hampshire abandoned
their charters and the once propitious Society
of the Cincinnati was in a fair way to oblivion
The visit Of Lafayette, in 1924, revived a
temporary interest in it, but it was many years
before popular apprehension had become so ap-
peased that 1T was safe for a man who asked
preferment at the hands of the American pub
lie to profess that he was a member Of the hon
orable Society OF the Cincinnati, Americas first
association of war veterans

judged acceptable by the society. individuals dis
tinguished for their patriotism were to be ad-
mitted honorary members for life and the
state branches were always to meet the
Fourth of July. while the general society was
to meet every third year on the anniversary of
its founding, May 13, 1888
1t was agreed at the first meeting that In or
der to secure the fund for the desired relief of
the widows and orphans that all the officers
should contribute a full months salary, as soon
as congress appropriated equal amount. This
would make a very considerable pension fund,
the interest on which alone was to be expended.
Strange as it may seem, the organization of
this patriotic and fraternal organization soon
became the object of bitter denunciation by
large number of citizens of the new nation. The
first mistake on the part Of its founders had
been in limiting the membership to officers both
native and foreign. Unlike the G. A R., which
followed the Civil war and the American Le-
gion, which followed the World war; the Society
of the Cincinnati did not include in its member
ship the common soldier.
Then the memberships were made hereditary,
to pass down TO posterity by the rule OF prim-
ogeniture, and in this provision the patriots
detected a move toward the perpetuation of a
military aristocracy" And then, to cap The
climax there was the golden decoration" which
went with a membership. Were not such deco
rations of the very essence of the Old world feu-
dal aristocracy?
So in spite of the fact that the great Father
of Our Country vouched for the patriotic spirit
of the new society and honored 1t by becoming
its first president, the tribunes of the people
ragged against ii and declaimed against it as an
nsidious influence, TO such an extent that the
time came when it as much as a mans
political life worth to appear in public
with the insignia of the Cincinnati pinned to
his bosom. France, just swinging into its bloody
revolutionary period took hand In the fight
and even the great Mirabeau thundered against
the Cincinnati and warned the young Republic
against its dangerous tendencies.
The young Republic was quite willing to believe
him. 1t not only the tavern orators and
the political pamphleteers that pitched into it,
not merely the rabid republican followers of
Jefferson who viewed it dangerous menace
to the Republics new institutions-some of the
most conservative statesmen and publicists of
the time raised their voices and employed their
pens against It,
Jefferson was publicly hostile to It, Benjamin
Franklin, then representing the republic at the
court of France, wrote home ridiculing the pur-
poses of the society attempt to form an
order of hereditary knighthood." He expressed
the wonder that any set of American gentlemen
should, in the face of the provisions of the
Articles of Confederation against ranks of no.

TAX ON LIQUOR.
POLICY STUDIED
BY EXPERTS
BY International News Service

BY International News service
Treasury experts and the Tariff
Commission are engaged today in
an exhaustive study of liquor taxa
ton.
The study, understood to have
been ordered by President RooSe-
welt, has been under way for sew
eral weeks.
A complete program Of both
Federal tariff and tax legislation
is being evolved for presentation
to Congress.
The Administration has not yet
determined the policy it will urge
upon Congress in taxation Of both
imported and domestic liquors and
wines.
Perplexing Questions
The questions to be finally an
swered are:
Will excessive taxation on
hard liquors, and especially
upon wines of all classes, curb
consumption or merely continue
bootlegging?
Will low taxes, which would
kill bootlegging, make liquor
flow too freely to achieve the
goal of temperance in the ma
ton?
What tax will promote tenn
perance and yield the most
revenue?
Foreign importers already are
preparing to combat arguments
for embargoes or excessive tariff
rates designed to bar the impor-
tation Of whisky and wines.
Congress Fight Near
Domestic interests likewise have
served notice on the Administra-
ton that they will oppose any
attempt to invoke the tariff quota
treaty policy to permit the free
importation of liquor in return
for lowering Of foreign tariffs to
other American products.
The whole question of liquor
taxation is expected to precipi-
tate a bitter battle in Congress
next winter.

STRIKE Of SILK
DYERS BLOW
To M|LADY

NEW YORK, Oct. IL Q.N.SO.
Milady will be faced with serious
shortage in her favorite dress
material if Senator Robert F..
Wagner does not succeed in end
ing the silk dyers' strike in the
mediation meetings under W y
here.
A check of New York's largest
silk housese which supply the
country revealed that already only
certain colors are available from
the large warehouses. Although
milady may have heart set on
blue, she may have to take green
and like it, a man whose name is
SYNONYMOUS with silk said today.
Practically all the silk in the
country is dyed in the area around
Paterson, N. j., where the strike
is in full sway.
The strike has affected far
more workers than the 10000 now
out in that area. Silk WeaverS in
New England and the South have
had to let workers ge because they
have been unable to get colored
silk thread to weave in patterns
on their looms.
Efforts went forward today after
success of the opening parley
was imperilled for a time by
argument and confusion.
