SHAW ANSWERS BRYAN Secretary Analyzes Nebraskan’s Doctrines Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw addressed a great gathering at Memphis, Tenn., some evenings ago in answer to Bryan’s recent speeches. In part this gifted orator said: For some time it has been well-nigh universally conceded that the democratic standard bearer for 1909 is as good as named. For months his every movement has been promptly chronicled, and the date of his return was widely advertised. No private citizen ever was given so cordial a welcome or ever received such an ovation as was accorded William Jennings Bryan, editor, farmer and politician, at the city of New York on August 30th, when the applause following his introduction at Madison Square garden is reported to have continued for eight minutes by the watch. The speech which followed had been heralded and is now accepted as the keynote, not only of the present congressional campaign, but of that larger campaign two years hence. I did not have the pleasure of listening to the speech, but I have read it. I have read it twice. Yes, I have read it three times. I personally like Mr. Bryan. I admire his oratorical ability, and I enjoy sitting and watching the effect of his eloquence upon others. In his Madison Square garden speech I easily recognized our friend of 1906 without a single subtraction and with several additions. He still favors bimetallism, which, in his vocabulary, means the free and wise the creatures of its own nature. The fathers founded a representative government, but turned orator speaks in prairie modern trend toward democracy. I submit that there are points of similitude between a city like England and a republic government like the United States than there are between a reactive government like this and democracy. He then proceeds to advocate law for the wage-earner the tenant. If my tenant thrusts down my shade trees or me in any way wherein a suit ages will not be an adequate reason can enjoin him. If my employer ensues to do the same thing, Mr. thinks he should be permittedceed and thereafter be given a jury, regardless of whether suedy would prove a romedy at all. That the injunction has been times improperly invoked I doubt. Arrests also have been many times improperly, and prosecutions have been begun numerable instances for the purpose of collecting debt. The mains, however, that Anglican prudence is the best safeguard to property, but also to personal individual rights, which the thus far evolved. From the Turk, the Bulgarian Servian, the Hungarian and the trian he would bring back and porate into the settled policy country government ownership lines of railroads. Some of still see elements of good in wifers conceived and somewhat serve in our civilization as exert in the habits and customs of people, and who are therefore stylservatives, are disposed to co He still favors bimetallism, which, in his vocabulary, means the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one with gold. The use of both gold and silver in quantity sufficient to supply every public need and every demand, the parity and exchangeability of the latter amply safeguarded by wise and efficient legislation, does not satisfy the twice defeated candidate upon a paramount issue selected, yes, dictated by himself. After referring to the "unlooked for and unprecedented increase in the production of gold," to which he impliedly attributes our present prosperity, he uses this phrase, in which the present tense is noticeable: "We who favor bimetallism are satisfied with our victory." Thus he gives notice that should the production of gold suddenly decrease he will renew his efforts for the debasement of our currency, and again advocate the abandonment of every effort to maintain parity between the several forms of money coined or issued by the government. He will advocate again the coinage of both gold and silver unlimitedly and let them circulate according to their respective metallic values. It is axiomatic that a coin which the government coins in unlimited quantity and without expense to the owner of the metal of which it is made will be worth exactly the same as the material consumed. This is true of gold coins, and free and unlimited coinage of any other metal would have the same effect on coins made therefrom. Bimetalism, as taught by Mr. Bryan, would ruin every business between the seas, and its effect on labor would be more baneful still. Mr. Bryan was reported to have said on his return from a previous trip abroad that he had obtained one new idea during his journeyings. His recent search evidently has been more fruitful of results. He even boasts of having searched Japan and every other country visited by him for something to bring back for himself. From the Turk, the Bulgarian Servian, the Hungarian and the trian he would bring back and porate into the settled policy country government ownership lines of railroads. Some of still see elements of good in what fathers conceived and somewhat serve in our civilization as exert in the habits and customs of people, and who are therefore stylservatives, are disposed to coordinate ourselves that the great gator of innovations permits the institution of marriage to remain sailed. Still, Col. Bryan gives that there are several other suits which he expects to address him an early date. Of his speech four columns on total of seven are devoted to this term, in its comprehensible sense, he includes railroad abuses even the protective tariff. Discuss three and one-half columns of system expressed for a corporation—people and of anathemas hurled predatory capital, and confining to the scant one-half column we mentions rather than relief. I find this sentence must not quarrel over remedies then suggests that something expected from the enforcement criminal provision of the Sherman trust law. While the effect of final conviction, followed by imputation, is always wholesome, it for us who analyze the practical proposed remedies to remember the civil provisions of the antitrust can be established and enforce mere preponderance of evidence no punishment for crime can be imposed until the essential facts tuting the crime are proven be reasonable doubt, as found and relied in the verdict of a jury. The difficulty in enforcing the man act does not lie so much in ing its provisions after a case but proven as in obtaining evidenceient to prove a case. He then boldly states that forcement of existing laws is no client, and adds: "The democratic must be prepared to propose new efficient legislation," and proper suggest what has been often suggested before. "It is worth while," he says consider whether a blow may Mr. Bryan was reported to have said on his return from a previous trip abroad that he had obtained one new idea during his journeys. His recent search evidently has been more fruitful of results. He even boasts of having searched Japan and every other country visited by him for something to bring back for incorporation either into organic law or legislative enactment, or for introduction into the habits and customs of our people. He thinks our constitution should be so amended as to convene congress soon after election, in imitation of England. He thinks the founders of the government made a mistake in placing the election of United States senators in a responsible oath-bound body, and that it should be transferred to an unfettered and unpunishable political convention. To accomplish this he would again amend the constitution. He thinks still another provision of the organic law was ill-advisedly inserted by the fathers, and recommends a fourth amendment to the constitution removing its inhibition of direct taxation so as to grant congress greater latitude in the collection of revenues, in imitation of several countries he has visited. The fourth suggested amendment to the constitution relates to the abolition of the provision giving each state exclusive jurisdiction over its domestic corporations, except such as engage in interstate commerce, while the modified form proposed by Mr. Bryan would permit the federal government to have concurrent jurisdiction whenever the state failed to properly super- features of its own statutes.

Not until happiness is pursued in a way which interferes with the rights and happiness of another should such pursuits be restrained. Notwithstand- ing Mr. Bryan's statement, made in the same connection, that most corpora-tions are conducting their affairs in a legitimate manner, he would legislate against the many in the hope of preventing improper conduct on the part of a few. If he had one kicking colt I suppose he would hamstring his whole drove. Pardon the suggestion that the eloquent traveler, having been for some years largely occupied in the discharge of other than executive, administra- tive, judicial, or even legislative func- tions, may have omitted carefully to study and analyze existing laws. If a person becomes a director in even one concern, say nothing of two, with intent to monopolize a product and control the price thereof to the prejudice of others engaged in the same line of business, he violates both the civil and the criminal provisions of the existing Sherman antitrust law. Prohibiting a man from doing an innocent thing in an innocent way appears to me to be an unnecessarily drastic method of preventing an objectionable thing already prohibited by existing statutes and easily enforced when the essential facts can be proved. Mr. Bryan then reverts to the democratic platform of 1900 and announces "as a still more far-reaching remedy," a law requiring corporations to take out a federal license before engaging in interstate commerce, and adds that "this remedy is simple and easily applied." He further says: "It is far easier to prevent a monop- Turk, the Bulgarian, the Hungarian and the Austrian bring back and incorporate the settled policy of this government ownership of trunk railroads.

Mr. Bryan then reverts to the democratic platform of 1900 and announces "as a still more far-reaching remedy," a law requiring corporations to take out a federal license before engaging in interstate commerce, and adds that "this remedy is simple and easily applied." He further says: "It is far easier to prevent a monopoly than to watch it and punish it, and this prevention can be accomplished in a practical way by refusing a license to any corporation which controls more than a certain proportion of the total product; this proportion to be arbitrarily fixed at a point which will give free operation to competition." Thus he has found a remedy which he asserts is "simply and easily applied," and one that will "accomplish the prevention of monopoly." He spurns the thought of controlling, curbing or restraining the evil, but proposes by a single enactment absolutely to exterminate the last suggestion of ravage on the part of predatory capital. Will his panacea stand analysis? Let us see. Some years ago my attention was called to what was then at least supposed to be the salt trust. Whether I was rightly informed or not affects in no degree the value of the alleged conditions as an illustration. I was told that a corporation of large capitalization had contracted for the entire output of all the salt works of Michigan, and of all the salt works of New York, and of all the salt works of every other state. Mining Machinery New machinery has arrived which will add greatly to the output of the old Dunlap mine, located in Silverado canyon about 23 miles east of Orange. Since the reorganization of the new company, it is known as the Western Zinc company, and the officers are as follows: P. A. Brangier of Agnews, president; W. Scott Franklin of Los Angeles, secretary and treasurer; C. Delmar Maze, manager and mining engineer. The metals produced are zinc, lead and silver. The mill, which is in operation day and night, is to be enlarged at once to three times its present size. When the new machinery is installed moldly states that the existing laws is not sufficient: "The democratic party agreed to propose new and legislation," and proposes to have been often suggested. while," he says, "to either a blow may not be cast by a law making it ill-same person to act as director of two corporations with each other or are ename general business." means to say that if I portion of the wonderful of Alabama, or of the terrible deposits of Colorado, measures of Wyoming, or Texas, and for their deed build a railroad, hav both enterprises, andted money in each, I permitted to be a direct one.

The mill, which is in operation day and night, is to be enlarged at once to three times its present size. When the new machinery is installed the capacity will be about fifty tons per day. The new 1400-foot tram from the mine has been completed and is now running. The cook house and dining room lately constructed is 36x105 feet and is about ready for occupancy; also the houses for the manager and the men, making a complete and fully equipped camp. At the present time about forty men are employed by the company, but this number is to be increased as the development work requires. A stage line has been established between Orange and the mine, leaving every morning excepting Sunday. COUNTY BREVITIES The filing of a deed to 220 acres of land about three miles from Newport Beach, and less than a mile from the mouth of the Santa Ana river, gives rise to the supposition that the tract will be turned into another gun club. Articles were also filed by the Surf Land & Water company. The capital stock is placed at $48,000, and the directors are given as J. A. Anderson, E. W. Murphy, one of the grantors named in the deed; Bernard Potter, Frank H. Edwards and Edward F. The last named is an at-Los Angeles.
