"Judge Taylor's letter on the subject
referred to takes a position In the mat
ter which Is absolutely correct. Every
body knows my fivllngs on the sub
ject. If we are going to permit such
unjust and uni-uUod for attacks against
our ow n interests, what can we expect
outsiders to think? If anyone wants
to talk about the Chamber of Com

come and see me. If anyone wants to
write a loiter on that subject and sign

"Judge Taylor's letter Is all right.
Ve must stop this thing of running
down our own Interests. The uncalled
for and untruthful statements which
have rtcently appeared ln certain of
mir newspapers characterizing the ef
forts lrude to advance the town both
by the railroad company and some of
in- property owners as a scheme to
iloat wildcat property, ls not only a
Meat mistake, but It cannot fall to
injure every foot of property In the

such attacks, both In public and pii-

from that point on through the depot
grounds there will be three or four dif

room on the depot grounds for eight or
ten different trucks, which will be built
as the business demands more room.

Sceley has done more than any ten men

provided maps and diagrams, and gath

valuable data which he Is able nt any
moment to give to any one investigat

During: the past years he has brought
down here party after party of capital
ists and business men from all over the
country, has entertained them at his
own expense, hiring special boats to
take them about the city and up and
down the bay, and through thick and
thin, ami when times seemed to be the
darkest, he has always been cheerful
and hopeful. Mr. Hammond himself
has said to me that If it had not been
for L. H. Seeley and his Invaluable fund
of knowledge and data, he probably
could never have succeeded In floating
the railroad project at the time he
did. I want to see Mr. Seeley and his
associates succeed: I want to see them
muke a million dollars. All the work
that can be done at Flavel only bene
fits us on this side of the bay. It will
all be one town, and each side only
helps the other. I wish we had a lot

surprised, puzzled and perplexed the
minds of many well meaning people.
They became alarmed at the natural
and necessarily following decline of
prices of agricultural as well as indus
trial products. Honest people In that
state of mind fell an easy prey to the
equally honest financial quack as well
as to the dishonest demagogue. Thus
they were readily persuaded that the
so-called demonetization of silver was
the true cause of their troubles and
that the free coinage of silver would be
the true remedy, while thorough inquiry
and calm reasoning would have con
vinced them that the true, cause of
the progress of civilization in produc
tion and transi-ortation, and that the
true remedy can be found only In the
adaptation of our schemes of husband
ry and our business methods to that
progress.
