Tlllmaa Dcaouaeca Ike Railroad Paaa floidlaa ta wycra-Tl llataa la BlakV , Batlcjr la Wraaav In Mr., Pence's Washington letter to Saturday's Raleigh News and Ob , server, is the following: ; 7 : " .- Senator Tillman paid his respects to-day to an attempt of the legal fra- ternity in a speech in the Senate that attracted Attention by reason of the fact that it aroused the ire at Senator Bailey, who came to the defense of his profession. Mr. Tillman was reverting to the ' fact that the lawyers had succeeded in holding in the rate bill an exception to the anti-pass amendment, which allows them when retained by rail roads to ride free. He saw no more reason for their exception than any other class. r Senator Bailey got mad-and inti mated that the South Carolinian was a demagogue. Then your Uncle Ben opened up bis guns and amongst oth- er things said: ... - , I have no prejudice against law- yers, I ha,vc a most infinite contempt for some of that breed that I know. The Senator knows there are pettifog gers and shysters in the profession and a very large number of them, ' and when I say political conventions are largely controlled through the in strumentality .of these dirty creatures that crawl around and whose only " compensation is free-passes ' upon . which they travel. I state the truth". I voted for that provision, and I am ready to stand by the castigation , which my eloquent friend saw fit to civ fna hfoatiSA T am nnf nf es-r wfin stood by it and stand by it The Associated Press account of the "' incident is as follows; . -v" ' - ' Senator Tillman called np the con ference report, and senewed his attack upon the pipe, line amendment as be ing in the interest of the Standard Oil Company. ' . f 'About the time the Allison amend ments were, incubating," he said, "there was a great furore about the Garfield report on the Standard Oil Company1, and we-were told that the - exposure of its crimes' would help the vote on the railroad rate bill, and un ' der the cover of this dust the Presi , dent retired from his advanced posi ' tioji on railroad legislation : and ac- . i .t t .. .it: m, ' ixpicu mu iuuaoo provision.. 1 nere the big stick andUe pitchfork, which J' a i r . , nau uccd in alliance, lonna mem selves separated and the pitchfork, ' while doing duty on the firing line, looked around only to see the tail of its associates hustling toward the rear -sliding towards the Allison base, to use a baseball phrase. The big stick was rushing in on all-fours to get between Father Allison's legs." Heihad no mult to find, he added, ex cept that be considered the fact that . the Plrsidpnt hail hppninr-nfiaietont in not coming to the assistance of the Senate conferees. He considered it a little remarkable that just when he migm ao someining to tnwart tne - policy of this gigantic monopoly, he , is as mum as a mouse, except that mere is now anotner Hurrah about what the President is going to do to the Standard Oil Company in the way of suits. lie added that notwithstand- ing the prosecution has been decided upon, we are carefully told in advance that the high officials, such as Rock' , efeller, Rogers and Archbold, are not - to be molested. ,; . ., j :. , . - BAJLEY AND-TILLMAN HAVE IT. , Mr. Bailey announced his intention to vote for the report, but confessed iaai aeitner 01 we new provisions was to his liking. The pass clause authorizing a railroad company to transport the families ot its employes, but making no provision for the fany ilies of railroad officials, or attorneys, . was denounced by him as "a transpa rent piece of demagoguety.' Hecon- . tidered it an appeal to prejudice en- ' tirely nnworthy of Congress. ' ''; - ' Senators Bailey and Tillman eo- fcaged in a very sharp controversy over the tatter's denunciation of the lawyers. The Texas Senator indica ted an opinion that this was dema goguery, and Mr. Tillman, while con tending that he respected the attor- ttfvm nf atonriinir maiA tli tm nA J - WM-ah.u , null MM 11 uau au utter contempt for shysters and for the men who' pack political convert t.' v There was intense feeling for a Jew momentsV . ,, - ' At this juncture the Vice-President found it necessary to interfere and to insist upon the Senators addressing the Chair. , - . , The interruption gave Mr.': Bailey an opportunity to get his breath, and when he resumed he was quite calm. He then said : ',,--,.-,.. "The Senator from South Carolina has many admirable qualities, But he has got some prejudices that obscure his usual fairness and his usual clear ness. , I do not know what grudge he has down in South Carolina against the lawyers. Probably they all re sisted his early political advancement If they did, I think they were wrong, but they were not much more mis taken than he is to have borne this grudge against them the remainder of his life. But what the Senator from South Carolina ought to do and nearly all hi needs to do to be one of the most useful Senators of this body is to get that cobweb out of his mind. He performs great services and hon estly, and the only thing that keeps Kill, ilUUI 4UlUg It VflSKiy UiitV HUH and then he yields to this very kind of prejudice. I have no patience with it myself." ' . . . Mr. Bailey proceeded at some length with his defense of the legal profession, and by the time he bad concluded, Mr. Tillman's face almost wore a smile. lie said .that the lawyers oufcht to be thankful for an occasion that had brought so eloquent a defense of their profession. He proceeded to declare liis regard for respectable members of that profession, but, sticking to his tet, added : "But I have a most in finite contempt for some of the breed 1 know." The coiifi rence report was adopted without division. This vote had the '!''--t of filially passing the bill. .1 The t-utole liicn adopted the rcso-1 lntion fixing the time When the act shall fixing the time when the act shall go,iuto effect two months after its approval by the President. PtOSPtPlT REDUCES THE VALVE OF BONDS. . The Baltimore Sun, in the append' ed article, suggests the proper reason for tta decline 'of government and other 1 "gilt-edged"", securities."" In times of depression investors turn to bonds, and this extra demand in creases their value. In prosperous times,' when confidence in business enterprises returns, investors seek the higher returns of business enter prises. Abundant gold, therefore, does not directly depress the price of bonds, but indirectly because of the fact just mentioned abundant gold produeing-prosperity. Says the Sun: BONDS AND GOLD. Moody's for. June discusses "the remarkable decline of bond Values" in the last few Tears: and: undertakes to account for it on the theory that if is due to the increased output of gold. The decline is indisputable, though the alleged cause is open to serious question. The phenomenon is not confined to American bonds, but is worldwide. Seven years ago British consols were selling at 114; to-day they are under 89. Since 1896 there nas been an average decline of is points in 24 high-class British Colo nial Government bonds. A shrink age of 10 per cent has taken place in the Government bonds of Germany, France and Holland. : Bussian bonds have gone down 15 per cent during the last year, - In- the United States since 1901 a dozen of the most stable of our, railroad bonds have lost 8 per cent of their value or percent a year. Last year, in the nice of in creased earnings and rising stocks, the decline was over a per cent In April the Wall Street Journal gave a list or over 30 railroad and industrial bonds that had averagedj decline of 2 per ceui. in six monins. bven onr 4 per cent Government bonds of 1925 have lost 10 per cent in five, years. and bnt for their use as a basis of note circulation would, it is thought, have gone lower, ine reason for all this, Moody contends, is the cheapening of gold in comparison with other commodities, because of the oversnp- piy. Mia baa lost purchasing pow er. Lmn s index numbers snow that in June,' 1906, prices of commodities are 47 per cent higher than on July 1, 1897. Tins, says Moody's, shows that gold is cheaper, but it is also supposable that our hieh tariff and inc. , monopolies . created by onr 'trusts" and "combines" could ad vance prices without any change in the world's valuation of gold. The isoer and Kusso-Iapancse wars may be supposed to .nave bad an impor tant influence on : prices of bonds. partly by reason 01 the enormous waste of war and partly on account, of the issue of vast amounts of new Government securities . which pay higher rates of interest than are paid on railroad and otner bonds issued, a few years ago. Very naturally, peo ple sell securities that bring but 254 of percent in order to invest in 4. S and 6 per cents, with the result of depressing the price of the former. . Hut onr contempory seems to over lookah important factor in neglect ing to take account of the active de mand for an on ey created by the pres ent expansion of enterprise and busi ness prosperity. In England, France, Germany, Canada and other parts of Europe and. America there is an al most unprecedented demand for capi tal for business business that pays better returns than can be had from bonds of any kind. Bondholders sell out to invest in paying enterprises or nope mi ventures, even though they thus knee a decline of bond values. It is to be remembered that gilt-edzed securities are always highest in peri ods 01 business depression and lowest in periods like the present It is a general rule that loss of confidence in the business outlook is attended by a rise in bonds, investors contenting themselves with smaller incomes till business revives. - It is probable. therefore, that abounding business activity, not overabundance of gold, explains the fall of bonds. The fact that, stocks are rising while bonds fal suggests that the larger returns to be had from stocks cause the for mer to be told and the latter bought Assuming that gold is 'fiuctuatinz. the higher rates of interest. now paid lor ine money metal seem to mean that gold is -worth more than it was. not less. .- There are two sides to the question, and the world's present business boom must be considered before it can be affirmed positively that cheap gold is cheapening bonds.

The following, taken from Mr. Pence's letter in yesterday's Raleigh News and Observer, will be gratifying to all North Carolinians : Washington, D. C, June 30. The Railway Rate bill,' which, after six months of subjection to vicious oppo sition, has become a law of the land contains no more important provision than the Overman amendment and the fate of this proviso was not de termined until yesterday, when the bill had finally gone through the Senate. On the floor of the Senate and in conference a determined effort was made to strike out this limitation on the power of Federal judges to issue injunctions, but- Senator Till man threw himself in the breech and declared to the " conferees that the adoption of the amendment of the junior North Carolina Senator was the sine qua uon of any agreement that was to be made. If it had. not been lor benator 1 illman the amend ment would, probably never have stuclc in conference. A SOURCE OK GRATIFICATION. It is a source of gratification to the entire Mate delegation that a North Carolinian should have written his name in the most important piece of legislation enacted since the Civil War. And the honor is all the neat er when it is remembered that the amendments of only two Democrats were hnhlly accepted as features of ti.. t-:u v kuv Hill. , , - Senator Overman originated the. idea of placing a limitation on the power of Federal judges of the inferior "variety." to issue injunctions by rea son oft his experience in the James case, when the railroad got a jadge to sign a hoid-up order over-night The Junior Senator was also impress ed, no doubt, with the record of cer tain Federal judges, who have flown to the rescue and defense of railway interests in North Carolina when called upon to do so. No sooner had Senator Overman framed his amend. mint than it immendiately caught lavor with the mends of effective rate legislation. The President rave it very loyal support, urging its adop tion in two special messages to Con gress, and also declaring for it with out change in two statements furnished thepressassociations. TheRepnblican Senate did not enthuse over such an effective provision for destroying the power of railroad judges, and elimin ated the feature providing for-a full bearing with answer and complaint The bit in the mouth. , TTowevpr th ImMdmrnt na If stands, prevents -inferior Federal judges from giving ex parte injunc tions; which can only be issued after nve days' notice and after hearing. Even then appeal lies direct to the Supreme Court of the Urited States if the issuance of such injunctions is questionable.

Appointment on this committee will necessitate the presence of Senator Overman in Washington this tall, when the members will meet here to take np the work. It is a very import ant nnaenaxug. , TBE LIMIT WAS mwtrmQ, ' Under the head "Is it a Sign of Reaction?" the Baltimore Sun says There is little doubt thatwhm Congress met last December Presi uvuft. jvuwcTcii was in iavor or tne enactment of , a Federal insurance law. The revelations in; New .York were then fresh in the minds of the people. It was the "psychological moment," so to speak," to agitate for Federal control of insurance. But Congress has made haste alnwlir in this case. The President rrfprnx) th matter to the legislative branch of tne iiovernment tiix months after Mr. Roosevelt's message the Senate Committeon the Judiciary reported that Congress is without authority to retrulate and sunerviae life and fir insurance in the several States of the Union. The House Committee on the Judiciary reached the same con clusion a month acrn. " There art eminent lawyers on toth 01 uese committees, and the bet Quit they have taken abundant H consider the subject in all its phases aaos weignt to tneir conclusion. There has been a tendency of late a. a a years 10 extend federal control oyer matters which heretofore have been considered exclusively within., the province of the States. IniamniM it has been urged with force that it wouia oe impossible, to accomplish certain reforms without Federal regu lation and supervision. The conclu sions of the Senate and House Com mittees on the (odiciary in respect to Federal control of insurance indirat a certain reaction against the idea that there can be no efficiency in gov ernment unless it proceed from Wash ington. The action of these com mittees of Congress is more signifi cant because the majority of those who sizn the reports are memtvt-a nf a party which has' long been identi- iica wnn centralization. It is well that the pendulum 4honld swing the other way sometimes. Our . usually well informed con temporary ha failed to keep in mind the fact that the rate iill, for ex ample, is backed by' the constitu tional provision empowering Con gress to "regulate commerce between the States."
