Washington,- Feb. 23. Quoting em
ployes of the San Francisco mint in
declarations that officials of t$e United
States treasury, department have con
spired with the smelter trust to close
Vthe government mints. Mid tura over
i the Guggenheims the refining of all
I si'ld and silver used in the manufacture
or coins, congressman Victor l uerger
jot 'Wisconsin, today introduced a reso
lution in the house demanding a full
Investigation of the alleged conspiracy.
Berger's resolution- detailed at length
charges made by Harold Krench. a
former chemist in the San Francisco
mint, who specifically asserted that
Secretary ot the Treasury MacVeagh
and the Taft administration are plan
ning to turn over the coinage of the-
country to the Morgan-Guggenheim In
terests. The resolution demands that
the house committee on expenditures of
the treasury department thoroughly
probe the alleged pact. v
- California - congressmen : here 7 are
fighting desperately, to prevent the
elimination of the San Francisco mint.
Their battle is directed primarily
against an "economic" proposition by
which the Democratic members of the
Committee on appropriations plan to
cut off the appropriation for the sup
port of the Ban Francisco mint and to
substitute simply an assay office for it
" Both Congressmen Kant and Kahn
J Are opposing this 'proposition tand in

If the charges are true. Just what plans
have been made by the smelter trust
to get control of the government metal
refining.

San Francisco, Fb; 23. Charges that
the Guggelnhelm smelter trust, through
conspiracy with Secretary of the Treas
ury MacVeagh, planned to control the
refining of all coinage metals in the
country were first made here by Harold
French, who resigned as chemist in the
San Francisco mint, in order, he said,
to make public the facts in the csbo.
Frenen declared: "
That preparations are being made to
close the San Francisco mint as part
of a plan by whlcb. the Taft admlnls?
tratlon intended to deliver tne refining
of $175,000,000 annually to the Gug
genheims the American Smelting &
Refining company. , .
That the Morgan-Aldrich Interests
had induced President Taft to approve
an act discontinuing gold coinage
March 2. 1311 - ' .
That two days later, March 4, 1911,
President Taft approved an act abolish
ing the annual appropriation for part
ing and refining, which ' made the
United States metal refineries possible.
That A. piatt Andrew, protege of
former Senator Aldrich, as first as
sistant secretary of the treasury, in
charge of mints, was handling the
scheme for. the Guggenheims .
That Andrew sent Chief Chemist
Mlndeleff of -the emelter trust to ex
amine the methods of the mints, and
that upon bis report of their operation
the plot to grab the business for the
Guggenheims was made.

Governor Would Have No' Mo

. Speeial to The Joorntl.) '
Kassas City, Mo4 Feb. 13. Admitting
that he had long hoped opportunity
would present itself whereby he could
come before the people as a presiden
tial candidate. Governor Wood row Wil
son made a strong point in conversa
tion here yesterday. His friends had
suggested the diplomacy of Roosevelt
in withholding his announcement
"My hat has been in the ring for a
loner time and my head has been In it,"
said Governor Wilson. '
He laughed heartily at his epigram
and was cheered by members of the
Wilson-for-Presldent club, who formed
his reception committee here.
Topeka,' Kan., Feb.
Kansas Derhc
2S. Before the
ocratlo club last night Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson spoke at length
on "The Relation of Business to Gov
ernment" His address -was well re
ceived. "Tfce cry of the hours seems to be
that business has grown so formidable
in its Independent organisation as to
have set itself up in rivalry to the gov
ernment itself," said Governor Wilson,
"and that it therefore must be regu
lated; that the whole force of govern
ment must be bent to the restraint of
business. I venture to suggest that
what we are really after Is not the re
straint of business, but the restraint of
individuals who are putting business
uon a false and selfish footing.
"We do not wish to hamper the great
processes of our economic life, but to
free them where they have been made
wrong use of by men who have Ignored
the common interest and. sought to
promote their own private and selfish
purposes by means that weret neither
r' spirited r.or her est' The rules
that we now seek to set top are that the
rmn who are making use of our cor
poration laws for tholr own advantage
shall not employ them to establish mo
nopoly; that they shall not( use them to
limit credit to those whom they draw
Into their own enterprises; that they
shall not, if they do wrong, find cover
and concealment within the corpora
tions whose power they employ.
"In respect of the restraint of wrong,
we should deal with individuals rsther
than with corporations. It should be
laid tare of whom business combina
tions consist and those of whom they
consist should be directly and individ
ually , dealt with whenever a wrong la
done, either to an Individual or. to the
freedom.of business itself. The move
ment back to the people in the field of
politics must precede the .movement
away from monopoly back to free op
portunity. ."Business can be free only when the
nation is free.' America's program of
popular government is America's hope
for prosperity. Political freedom and
commercial . freedom go hand in hand.
Where there is monopoly in the one
there will be. tyranny and special prlv
ilege in the other."
