DEMOCRATIC VIEWS
ON TRIP TO CAPITAL

in the Hands of
Theorists

BEFORE HIS TRIP
Was Especially Impressed on Wash

ty of Leaders in the Dem

II; IIOM.AM)
New York. June 15.—(Special.)—In mid
May Chauncey M. Depew spent a week in
Washington, lie had an opportunity for
a number of social meetings with some
who were his colleagues in the Senate and
who have outstayed him in the Senate
chamber. He also paid a call •of courtesy
at the White House, spending 15 or 1*0
minutes with the President. After the
senator's return to New York he told nia
friends what some of his experiences in
Washington were, and in what they had
enlightened him upon .the attitude of the
administration and Congress toward
American business life. The senator did
not then see lit, however, to speak for
publication. Some of the incidents of his
Washington visit were of such exclusively
social character that, although much im
portant information was obtained, yet
ho could not, in good taste, speak except
ing in a very general way of them.
The senator, however, did, when sailing
for Europe lust week, concentrate into
two or three paragraphs and in an im
personal manner much that he had
learned and heard at Washington. He
was confirmed in the opinion he had long
held—an opinion, too. which Theodore
Roosevelt did not hesitate to express—
that Congress could pot be persuaded to
| adopt any currency plan to which tire
name of Senator Aldrich was attached.
I Senator Depew, however, was told by
several of the leading democratic senators
that the probabilities are strong that
Congress will, before its adjournment,
pass a law which will correct some of .ho
evils that lurk in our present banking
and currency laws and will provide an
elastic quality to our currency and a
wise reserve system.
Of this the senator did not speak for
publication just before he sailed for Eu
rope, but he 1ms informed his friends in
this city that unless the temper of Con
gress changes and unless that almost im
possible thing happens—a change in Pres
ident Wilson’s mind—the country will
a revised and improved national
currency law which may he ol great ser
' °e by the time of the moving of the
crops in the fall.
Two Points of View
As interesting and as earnest an even
ing s conversation as was taken part in
by the senator when he was in Wash
ington was one at which several demo
i cratic senators were present. Senator De- |
! pew was greatly impressed by the earn-I
estness with which these senators defend-1
|cd the underlying principle which is ens-1
| bodied in the Underwood tariff bill. They
confessed to him their regret that Amer
i« an sugar growers, cane and beet, have
not been able so thoroughly to develop
their industry as not to be compelled t<>
rely upon what these senators called
^‘governmental subsidy” in the form of a
protective tariff rate in order to secure
j any returns from the industry. But the
senators were convinced that in the long
run It would be the better part to utilize
tho soil for other products whose suc
cessful culture does not depend upon ;l
protective tariff.
That, the senators informed Depew, is
the view taken by President Wilson. He
returned from Washington satisfied that
the country is to put to the test the prin
ciple which underlies the doctrine of a
tariff for revenue only, but not the
severest test possible, since it is recog
nized and frankly stated that there would
be injustice in adopting a tariff bill
framed entirely upon the tariff for reve
nue only principle. A tariff of that kind
must be built up gradually, but if the
test which is to bo made with the Under
wood bill is satisfactory then the time
is not distant when there will he other re
visions of the tariff until at last the
tariff for revenue only law will stand
upon the statute books.
Theory and Business Experience
Shortly before Senator Depew sailed for
Europe he said in detail something w hir h
he put in the concrete form while chat
ting with the newspaper men upon the
deck of the steamship. To the reporter's
the senator said: “Our government is be
ing run by theorists. Practical business
men are looking on alarmed. Protection
principles are actually essential if we are
to maintain our wage scale.
‘‘Free trade might make tilings cheaper,
but without protection we wouldn’t have
money enough to buy them.”
This is but a tabloid expression con
centrating much that Senator Depew
heard and learned In Washington. In pri
vate conversation with his friends after
his return from Washington, the sen
ator said that he did not fail to regard
with admiration and with respect the sin
cerity with which tfie leaders in both

COMMERCIAL CONGRESS PLANS
BIG CONVENTION IN MOBILE
Mobile, June 13.—(Special.)—Sixty
commercial organizations in as many
southern states will spread tin* gospel
of the Southern Commercial congress
in as many southern cities and the ad
vertising clubs of the southeastern
division of ^h© associated advertising
clubs of America will work for the con
vention which will l»e held In this city
in connection with the opening of the
Panama canal. This statement was
made by Mr. L. <\ Irvine, director of the
Southern Commercial congress who has
just returned to the city from a visit
to the two conventions at Charleston,
S. C., and Baltimore, Md., respectively.
A great pageant is being prepared by
Alabama under the direction of Mr
Irvine and the Mobile chamber of com
merce to honor the memory of John
Tyler Morgan, who conceived the idea
of a great canal connecting the Atlantic
with the Pacific. Kach county in the
state will he represented. The citites
of Montgomery, Mobile and Birming
ham will vie with each other in a show
of their products. Mr. Irvine says he
finds that the disappointment of the
south in not securing the Pan-Amer
ican exposition for New Orleans will
be a stimulus in making the Mobilie
celebration representative of the people
whose rights were trampled on in send
ing the exposition to San Francisco.
FDRTHIS WEEK
Showers Along East Gulf
States During Week, Says
the Weather Bureau
ashington, June 15.—Warm weather
with clear .skies over the greater part of
the country is predicted for the coming
week by the weather bureau.
“There will be scattered thunderstorms
the first part of the week along the
northern border,” the weekly bulletin
says, “and by the middle of the week
showers will set in along the east gull
and south Atlantic coasts.
“No important storm is charted to cross
the country during the ensuing week, al
though a disturbance of minor intensity
will form Tuesday or Wednesday over the
western plateau region and advance
thence in a northeasterly direction, at
tended by Jocal thundershowers, and
reach the region of the great lakes by
Thursday or Friday.”
houses in Congress in the majority party
discussed the principles and questions
which relate to American business life.
But the senator said, furthermore, that
it was apparent to everybody who had
been trained as a business man, either
as a banker, manufacturer, or tin operat
ing force in the railraod systems, that
many of the leaders in Congress have
not tiie slightest comprehension of any of
the details and of any but a few of the
general principles which are necessary if
business is to be successful. That is pre
cisely what the senator meant when he
said lor publication: “Our government is
being run by theorists.” A day or two be
fore the senator sailed he. said that, in
view of the absolute sincerity which char
acterizes the leaders of the majority
party in Congress and of the considerable
public sentiment which supports them, it |
is unquestionably well that there be en
acted practical demonstration of the ef
fect of this quality and economic need
upon American business life. In no other
way can it lie definitely learned whether |
the theorists or the practical business men !
are now right and have been right, each
from their respective point of view.
A Significant Comment
A great deal of comment has been oc-»1
caeioned by & statement made by Cor
nelius Vanderbilt just before he sailed
for Europe last week. Mr. Vanderbilt
confessed that the decision of the supreme
court in the so-called Minnesota rate case
was for him a puzzling one, since he had
been unable to get, by the hurried read
ing that was possible for him, a clear un
derstanding of what the decision meant.
Then, gliding off from this point, Mr.
\ anderbilt said that be was satisfied that
unless the interstate commerce commis
sion granted the application of the rail
roads for a 6 per cent increase In rates the
railroads would be compelled in the fall
to refuse to accept the transportation of
some of the harvest, certainly in case the
crops this year are as great as they now
give promise to he.
No railroad manager has cared to speak
with the frankness which Mr. Vanderbilt
used, since there was fear that a state
ment of that kind might be regarded as
an Implied threat. But it has been known
that in railroad circles the apprehension
is grave that unless an increase of rates
is permitted by the interstate commerce
commission there may come in the fall
serious congestion of freight at the great
terminals in case the harvest makes a
record.

JULY POSITION 10
New Crop Conditions Will
Figure Prominently in
Cotton Market
New Orleans, June 15.—The July deal;
and new crop conditions will he tin
main influences in the cotton market i
this week, rt will be interesting to oh- j
serve whether the July position can |
maintain its prominence. For. some j
time past it has dominated the en- j
tire situation: bears have almost open-I
ly acknowledged them their fear of the I
operations under way and have al- !
lowed them to wholly offset favorable!
ly acknowledged tbnlr fear of the ;
mains to be seen whether this stat. |
of affairs can prevail much longer, es- 1
peeially if crop accounts continue to
Improve.
What the bear side fears most is
that large quantities of cotton will
leave this side of the water as the
result of acceptances ol deliveries
against July. Stocks at ports in this
country are already 100.000 bales less
than they were a year ago, which
brings about a trying situation for
shorts, and further depletion would
become extremely cmbarassing. It is |
Claimed in some quarters that owners
of spots in the south have been sel
lers of July contracts and will deliver
a large quantity of cotton. Anything
that develops this week to strengthen
this belief have an important bearing
on the immediate position of the mar
ket.
While the entire cotton belt has re
cently experienced abnormally cold
weather for June, crop accounts haw
not reflected any great damage, al
though the trade believes that the
growth of the young plant has been
considerably retarded by the cold. Some
complaint of too much rain is coming
in from the nortlierin counties of Ala
bama and Oleorgia. What will be most
favorable this week will be bright,
warm weather. The crop can get along
without any moisture at all and would
make quick growth under forcing tem
peratures. Such conditions would un
doubtedly lead to renewed strong short
selling of the new crop months, al
though it might not have any effect ui
all on the old crop options.
The spot markets will be closely
watched. Recent signs of an improve
ment in the Inquiry were important and
any further Improvement in the demand
will serve to intensify the effect of the
campaign in July.
