Mr. Watson outlines the prob
lems, as he sees them, which con
front Mr. McKinley, as follows:
“ First—How to run the tariff
rates up high enough to satisfy
the manufacturers who paid for
his election without arousing the
discontent of the consumers, who
will be compelled to pay higher
prices for manufactured goods.
“ Second—How to continue to
spend more money than the reve

issue bonds, and without letting
the people know that taxes are in-

TO LEE: “PROTECT AMERICANS/’
That is the Message Sherman Sends the
Consul.
New York, Mch. 10.—A special
from Washington says:
“ Secretary Sherman cabled
Consul General Lee today that
every, reasonable command or
request he may make of the
Spanish authorities in Cuba will
be supported by alldhe power of
the United States government.
“ The first dispatch received
by the new Secretary of State
from General Lee outside of the
ordinary routine came Monday.
It was brief and simple, asking
what he could expect in the way
of being relieved from further
service at Havana, and calling
attention to a desire heretofore
expressed that he might be per
mitted to return borne.
‘ * Secretary Sherman took the
dispatch to the executive mansion
afterwards and cabled to Consul
General Lee requesting him to
continue at his post, explaining
that no one had been selected as
his successor and it would be in
convenient to consider his resig
nation now.
“ He was told that his remain
ing as consul general would be
regarded by the president as a
personal favor. ”
The stockholders’ annual

Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the
late populist candidate for vice
president, writes to the New York
World, from his home in Thom
son, Ga., of the new president,
his official family, and the prob
lems that confront this administra
tion.
Of the chief executive he says:
“He is a Republican of the
strictest sect, and he brings all the
weight of a lofty character, supe
rior intellect, and amiable dispo
sition to the maintenance of his
party’s creed.
“ McKinley has not obtained
his election as a Republican with
the purpose of antagonizing Re
publican policies. He is not pos
ing as the big chief, who is-bigger
and better than all the other
chiefs, and who is, therefore, above
all party shackles.”
Mr. Watson speaks of the cabi
net members collectively as a
group of positive characters and
as decidedly Republican as the
president himself. “ No Demo
cratic Gresham,” he says, “ holds a
place in it.” No Palmerite se
cures recognition. Those who
compose it are all men of strength,
capacity and partisan natures.
“These men do not represent
the commons. There is no hint of
the ‘ third estate ’ whatsoever. In
McKinley’s cabinet the privileged
orders are represented as they
have never -been before in any
American administration.
“With John Sherman as cen
terpiece, the grouping harmonizes
perfectly with the political size,
shape and color of that eminent
spokesman of privileged combina
tions of wealth. The country at
large knows Mr. Sherman well,
and the public opinion concerning
him has crystallized.
“ Not only is Mr. Sherman held
by the public generally to be the
very embodiment of the poor poli
tician who gets rich by doing
what the corporations want done,
but he is also regarded as the es
pecial representative of the deadly
policy oLcontracting the currency.
He is held responsible for the de
struction of the paper money
which the people believe was so
beneficial to the country.
“He is held responsible more
than any living man, for the legis
lation which disturbed the har
monious relations between silver
and gold, made trouble between
two allies and fettered silver with
unfriendly legislation in the in
terest of gold,;
“ He is also regarded as the es
pecial sponsor and ehampibn of
the national banking system,
which system is detested by all
who do not understand it and who
do not belong to the class which
fattens upon it. ”
Of the other members of the
cabinet, Mr. Watson says:
“ Mr. Gage stands for antagon
ism to the greenbacks, friendship
to the national banks and hostility
to the increase of the currency by
silver coinage or otherwise.
“ He represents the kindL of bi-
metalism which all the metropoli
tan bankers want—the unani-
consists of even greater values than last. My
