There is no denying that the\nwidening influence of monopoly, the too frequent recur-\nrence of hard times and many other obstructions to\nhealthy business development in this country are due to\nsome basic cause which has been operating for a genera-\ntion but with more energy than ever during the past twelve\nor fifteen years.

A\ndiagrammatic illustration of prices in the beef trade is\ngiven, tracing the prices paid by the trust to the farmer\nand those paid to the trust by the retailer for the past\ntwenty years. Among other things this diagram shows\npr.7.\nthat the farmer received from the trust in 1910 no more\n34.\nthan he received in 1902, but the trust was getting 33\nq-c,\nper cent. more from the retailer. These things make\nCanada attractive and many farmers have left our middle\nWest and gone over there.\nThe substitute recommended for our protective tariff\nsystem is a balanced tariff and excise law which would\nput the same tax on every part of the consumption of\nthe article taxed whether it was produced in this country\nor imported.

Cutchins\nT\nHIS book is more than the story of the Richmond Blues. It is the history of\nRichmond for one hundred and forty-five years, told in the activities of A\nFAMOUS COMMAND. It is a record of the service of thousands of her finest sons\nin peace and in war. It is the story of responsive and enlightened citizenship, finding\nits outlet in patriotic and useful service. That service began with \"General\" Gabriel's\nslave insurrection and continued with the troubles with the British and the War of\n1812. Meanwhile the politics of the times found entry into the councils of the Com-\nests\npany and partisanship ran high. Every movement for liberty in other sections of the\nworld found ready sympathy in the hearts of the members of the Blues, and found\nexpression in the records of the Company's meetings and in actual gifts. The jealousy\nof the power of the new central government is observed in the activities of the mem-\nbers of the Company, while the social life of the times is fully reflected. Particapat-\ning in the reception of practically every distinguished visitor within the city's gates,\noftentimes acting as hosts, the Blues took part in the memorable reception to La-\nfayette, and at one time entertained the President and Vice-President of the United\nStates.\nThe spectre of civil war then intruded upon the peaceful and happy existence of\nthe Company, and John Brown's Raid brought prominently to the fore the ominous\napproach of hostilities. Preparations for the conflict were made and after its mem-\nbers had tried, as did all Virginians, to avert the calamity, the old Company was one\nof the first to volunteer for the War Between the States, and its remnant of sixteen\nsurvivors surrendered with the immortal Lee at Appomattox.\nFor the first time a full and complete account of the participation of Richmond's\nfamous military command in that historic struggle is fully recorded, and what a\nrecord it is! Written with a soldier's understanding of all war means the \"war chap-\nters\" are of thrilling interest. The campaign in Western Virginia, the tragic battle\nof Roanoke Island, service on the Peninsula and around Richmond, the defense of\nCharleston, South Carolina, the soul-trying days in the defense of Petersburg,\nWalthall Junction, the Crater, Hatcher's Run, Sailor's Creek, the retreat from\nPetersburg, Appomattox!-all are described, ofttimes in the language of the par-\nOutline of Contents\nticipants after an outline of the larger strategy by the author.

WINSTON caldwell\nCALDWELL LANE\nnashville, tennessee\nNovember 19,1934.\nMr. Marvin H. McIntyre,\nSecretary to the President,\nWarm Springs, Georgia.\nDear Mr. McIntyre:\nI am sending you under separate\ncover a scroll which we had intended to present to\nPresident Roosevelt while he was seated at the Hermitage\ntable. We understood after it had been prepared, however,\nthat nothing was to be presented to him, so I requested\nMrs. Blackie and Mrs. McAlister, our charming First Lady,\nto give him the information which it contained about the\nJackson music which was being played for him. Perhaps\nhe will be interested in seeing the scroll - you, of\ncourse, will be the judge of that. I am sending it to\nyou with the request that, if it is permissible, you\npresent it to him.\nI should like very much to send you and others members\nof the presidential party copies of my little book,\nAndrew Jackson's Hermitage, if you wish one and if\nyou think that the others will care to have it. Will\nyou please give me a list of the party with correct\nnames and titles, in order that I may autograph the\ncopies for them?\nI am very much interested in the future of the Hermitage\nand in making the Jackson story known to the nation. It\nhas an unusuad significane in times like the present. The\nlittle log Hermitage, to which Jackson returned as the victor\nof New Orleans, still stands a few hundred yards from the\nbrick mansion. I have been working for five years or more\non details of its history and feel that now we have enough\nauthentic material to warrant our going ahead with plans for\npreserving, restoring and furnishing it. We need, also,\nto extend the back boundaries of the estate in order that\nwe may always have sufficient land to guarantee the atmosphere\nof peace and quiet which is one of the charms of the\nHermitage estate.\nI speak as an individual citizen - not as the representative\nof any organization - when I say that I believe that only\nthrough properly worked out plans for making the Hermitage\na great national shrine can these and other important matters\nbe handled satisfactorily.\nI make no attempt to tell you of the thrill it gave us to\nreceive the President, Mrs. Roosevelt and their party - but I\ndo want to say that I was particulary pleased to have the\npleasure of meeting you. If you will come back to Nashville\nwhen you have more time we'll show you more Jacksonbooks.\nSincerely, Mary Stunds (Mrs. Winston foldwell Caldwell)\nWonter asksto\npersonally present some\nP.P.7.\nGnava jelly\nWarm Springs, Georgia.\nmade by\nNovember 27, 1934\nq-c.\nPresidents her for The\nne to thank you for your\nThanks giving\nleth and for the Guava\nth to send him.\nOffers tosay\ni it will not be possible\nsome each\nuring his stay at Warm\nyear herefter\nonly seeing members of\ning official matters to\ndiscuss with him, I am sure you will understand.\nSincerely yours,\nM.
