Here is one for your books The Roosevelt administration spent 6.O00,00O,000 between 1883 and 1888. Now the question is asked "Who got that money?" Where has it gone?"
 It is agreed among the govern ment economists that none of this money left this country, because we have done virtually no lending to foreign countries in recent years. It could not have been that we have been buying more than we have been selling abroad, because the trade figures show negligible diff ference, between the exports and the imports, so to speak.
 Therefore the $16,O0OO0 100000 must still be in the United States. A study of the figures for bank de- posits shows that between June 1883 and January 1888 deposits in all the banks in this country have in- creased by just about $17,500,000,- coo. Therefore it is only fair to as- sume that the money borrowed from the American people in the form of Government bonds and notes las to great extent found its way back to the banks and there it re- mains. Some of it no doubt is in the form of surpluses in manufac- turing enterprises, though the in- crease of surpluses between 1933 and 1885, even including new plants and machinery has not been more than $9,000,000,0000 in all with a third in cash.
 The bulk of the Pump Priming" money will, no doubt, be found in our banks where it is lying idle. There's enough funds available to start full fledged prosperity move ment, without another dollar of Pump Priming".
 In Thomaston I hear the Demo- cratic bosses are going to try and reduce the number of the Demo- cratic Town Committee. A few of the members of the town committee are Radically inclined" so the story goes.
 After taking a rather nasty sur- vey of the Congressional field in this district it has been learned that Thomas Wall, ST. of Torrington is getting a warm welcome from del egates in the other part of the state. Many of the leading delegates have told this writer that if Wall had been nominated two years ago in place of Upson the Republican party would have fared much bet ter at election time. They point out that because of the double cross which was handed Wall at that time, many of the delegates lost heart and many of them went back home with the cry Beat Upson" This year they claim there can bt harmony only in the Republican ranks if Wall is given the nomina. tion. I know a number of smal towns and cities that will throw il with the Litchfield group to nom mate Wall when convention da, rolls around.

Tricky spring. Striking the nail plumb center, far as the weather goes is common for F.

The thunderstorms of Friday afternoon escaped the Hartford pund attenton for he didn't see any of them occurring before the middle or latter part of May when there will be many local thunder squalls, especially in the night. :" But he hit it square "The spring whole bids fair to be of the peasantest in remembrance interrupted how by freakish weather and sudden change of short duration, from warmth to cold in few instances from drynes to downpour But the eakishness in general will consist of an abnormal amount of pleasant mild days and nights. ."

TRIAL IS GRANTED
IN D. c. TAX CASE
Judge Casey Reverses Pre-.
vious Decision on Busi.
ness Levy Suit.

Reversing a previous decision, Judge
Walter J. Casey granted motion in
Police Court late yesterday for a jury
trial in the cases of Fairfax Oyster.
prominent local business nan, who is
charged under five counts with vio-
lating the business privilege tax law
for the District
Under the later decision Mr. Oyster
will be entitled to trial by jury when
the case is docketed.
Mr.. Oyster was first arraigned be-
fore Judge Edward NJ. Curran on
single charge that he failed to file
his gross receipts return for 1886. He
pleaded not guilty and demanded a
trial by jury, which was denied on the
grounds there is no provision for such
action in the act.
When arraigned before Judge Casey
there were five charges in addition to
the original. and Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Glenn Simmon concurred
with Defense Attorney Dorsey x.
Offutt that the defendant was en-
titled to jury trial Judge Casey.
however, overruled such a motion,
stating that Judge Curran had al
ready ruled, and that he Judge
Casey did not feel like ruling on the
same question.
Yesterday, however, the original
case was nolle pressed on the grounds
that the Government must allege
separate violations for each day they
claim the return has not been made
The latest charges were picked at
random over a 60-day period rather
than to file charges for every day of
the alleged violation.
The act provides maximum penalty
of $1,000 per day for each day that
passes without filing Of return,
hence Mr.. Oyster could be charged
with offenses carrying total penalties
for more than 10 days. or maximum
fine of over $4,000. authorities said.

or will deny that. Some may attempt
to defend or explain many irregu-
larities. I will not. That which Is
bad must go. That which may result
in the loss Of life or property must be
overcome. II we are to have a real
merchant marine we must have one
in which we can take pride. Men sense
these facts quite as much as omcers
and owners. Any law which We pass
must advance the standards Of all
owners, officers and crew.
It Is interesting to note that In the
new contracts being signed by the
union representatives and the opera
tors that many OF the provisions Of
the present suggested law are being
written into those contracts. Labor
now has the attitude that 1t would
rather make the rules itself with its
employers than have such rules writ
ten into the law; Sea labor is con-
scious of a new-found strength and 1t
hesitates to see that strength pass
entirely over to government, although
it recognizes the public interest. Own
ers, too, are uncertain both as to the
ultimate effects of this new-found
strength and OF too bold stand to be
taken by government. If the newly
signed contracts with the unions prove
successful, much OF the present un-
certainty will pass.
Our merchant marine has had. and
must face. other troubles besides those
OF adjusting labor difficulties. A cure
Of one ill will not cure all. Each,
though, will contribute toward the
cure OF others AS result Of these
hearings, labor has learned that 1t
must lend an aid to the Advancement
of our merchant marine or there will
be no American sea labor. Mutual
adjustment must be the key to success.
There is disposition on the part OF
government, the owners, the masters

night more in the nature of attempting
to point out the fact that America
has changed attitude toward labor.
that many Of the struggles which the
seamen Of the past have fought for
have been gained. and they are actu-
ally facing world Of new possibilities.
I would not leave you with the thought
that am satisfied with the gains ac-
complished because that would not be
true either to my nature or to my
fundamental economic and political
concept No, labor must go forward
in the establishment Of more rights
and better living for the workmen,
better organization in order that there
may be better discipline.
We have heard much testimony
about the lack Of discipline on board
our ships. We have been given evi-
dence to show that discipline has
broken down. But a lack of discipline
will never be remedied in this day
and age unless it is remedied in the
light of actual justice. Self-diScipline
is the highest of all disciplines. When
our labor becomes self-disciplined we
shall find that the labor leaders will
assume their responsibility with all
the consideration for the benefit of
the men and their condition, and a
harmonious relationship between the
men, their ship masters and the own
ers. Discipline is not matter Of
brute force. The right to command is
just as highly respected when the
order is Lets 60" as it Is when the
order is you CO."
Discipline Need Understood.
There is not q man on board our
ships who does not understand the
necessity Of discipline. No one can
openly defend such breach. II
there is no discipline on board ship,
