T HE furious storm aroused by the
combat between Thomas Jefferson
and Alexander Hamilton, the greatest
gladiators to face each other In the
arena of American poilt!cs, makes our
recent campaigns seem like sunshow
era. Hamiltonians scorned to eat and
drink, and sometlmes even to pray,
with the Jeffersonians. To give a
daughter in marriage with one of
them was almost abhorred as mis.
cegenation.

sions as a conflict of classes or of sec
tions. 'This was both doubly bitter.
An almost solid South united with
the Northern masses in a common
dread of a strong government and in
a common hostility to the old ruling
caste in the middle states and New
England. The new parties called them
selves Federalists and Republicans.
In the first battle, when those par
ties fought for tbe.chiair of Washing.

toral votes of winning the presidency
against Adams. In the second battle,
which was waged in 1800, he beat
Adams.
Contrary to the familiar story of his
hitching his horse to the capitol fence,
Jefferson walked to his Inauguration
and afterward walked back to his
boarding house, which was on; a few
hundred yards'away. This man afoot,
dreamer and theorist, quietly ushered
in that day a more lasting revolution
than a man on horseback could have
wrought with a sword and whiff of
grapeshot.
Believing that revolutions should
begin at home Jefferson revolutionized
the White House by casting aside the
ceremonials which had been adopted
in a feeble imitation of kingly courts.
Opening the doers to all, without re
gard to social classifications and with
out order of precedence, his rule was
"first come, first served." Determined
that the president, as he said, should
cease to be a personage, he stopped
thd custom of celebrating a president's
birthday, never made a public tour.

no successor haw thrown a British min
ister hito a fit of indignation biy re

sonian simplicity rather more than
Washingtonian courtliness remains the
standard of presidlential conduct.
It was the strange fortune of this
most thoroughgoing pacifist to find
himself at the helnm i'n the midst of
a worldl at war. When the globe wvas
bristling with bayonets until it looked
like a porcupine, lhe calmly announced
that peace was his passion, and start
edl out by cutting down his little army
one-half andl by talking of hauling up
hiis seven warships. His only interest
in the Napoleonic struggle was to keep
out of it,
Nevertheless wille the military pow

with their blood, this most unilitary
presidlent, without tiring a shot, gath
ered in far richer spoils than the vic
tors in twenty-flye years of warfare
divided among themselves at the con
gress of Vienna. As Jefferson's elee
tion was a bloodless revolution, his
purchase of the immense empire of
Louisiana, which doubled the territory
of the United States, was a bioc..iless
conqluest, the greatest peaceable an
nexation the world ever saw., Having
made it, the flag was no more thana
hoisted on the farther bank of the
Mississippi than lie dispatched Lewis
and1 Clar-k and Captain Pike b~oldly to
spy out the unexplored rivers andl

Byrnes. Publishes Correspondence
With Houston. Secretary Referred
to Treatury Department Not Banks.
In Accord With hlarding.
Ailten, Oct.. 1.-Congressman James
F. Byrnes of Aiken todhy made 'public
telegraphic correspondence with the
Secretary of the Treasury Houston,
which shows that the secretary in his
statement Hot last Monday referred
only to the attitude of the treasury
department -and had no reference to
the policy of the federal reserve bank
system in discounting the paper of
member banks. The secretary ad
vises Mir. %Byrnes that he Is ig accord
with Governor H'arding's definition of
"orderly marketing'"" as meaning the
marketing of the cotton crop grad
tially. The telegram of Mr. Byrnes
to Secretary Houston on September
26 reads as follows:
"All trade reports indicate youir
statement construed as intention of
federal reserve bank not to discount
notes secured by cotton. Satisfied this
iot. your ":olicy, Statements of Gov
ernor IIarding in his Cleveland speech
defining orderly marketing was rea::
nS uian to entire trade. If you aye ii
accord can you not issue statement as
to what- you meant by 'orderly mar
keting?' Any course other than that
outlined by Governor Harding would
result in speculation by mills and
buyers at exi)ense of producers."
teply of Houston
Secretary louston2'. reply of the
29th state:
"My statement is. 'I am in favor of
every legitimate effort to promote the
orderly marketing of all collmmodities,
but the government can not be a par
ty to an iinlerta king to hold con mod -
tiles off the market to enable the
owners artificially for speculative
purposes to maintain war prices or
higher than war prices."
"In speaking of the government, of
course, I was speaking particularly of
the treasury. I was not speaking of
the banks. They are not the govern
ment. My statement was induced by
a request of people that the treasury
either deposit money in crop moving
sections or that it revive the ar
Ilinance corporation activities. lither
of these things would necessitate the

t'reasury's borrowing more money at
high rates at which it is now borrow
ing to meet current obligations. It
has no money to deposit except for
government puriposes. The war
finance corporation would only assist.
in financing exports. This power w'as
given at a time when it was feared
that 'xports twould rot go forward.
Exports have increase.l steadily to
enormous proportions and are now
running at the rate of over $8,000,000,
000for the year.
Could Not Borrow
"Obviously the treasury would not
be warranted in borrowing money 'to
further stimulate exports or -4o de
posit for lending purposes. The
-treasury should not be In the banking
business. It may interest you to know
that six times as much is being re
discounted In certain reserve banks
for crop moving sections as has ever
been doposited in such sections by
the treasury. There is no conflict be
tween my statement and Governor
Ih'arding's. He was speaking for the
reserve system. I have assured that
I am in favor of the orderly market
ing of all commodities. Governor
HIarding asserts the same. The banks
are iending more jioney today to ag
riculture and industry than has ever
before .been lent. I have repeatedly,
expressed myself in favor of orderly
marketing and of the promotion of
cooperative marketing among farm
ers. I do not see how I can add any
thing to the statement. .\iy insistence
on the desirability of orderly mark'et
lug Is pointed by my statement'as to
the unwisdom of enterprises hoding
commodities off the market artificially
for speculative purposes to maintain
war prices or higher than war prices.
I assut me that the great mass of the
::.ople of ihis coun try Iv otld recog
nize not only the unwisdom but the
iliimality of such an undertaking."
No Danger of 'antie.
In piublb;hling thijs cortespondence
M-r. Iyrnes statedi he was satisfied
that the spectlatore know that the
secretary of the treasury was stating;
