"There is also a Farmers and Cattlemen's Association here in Phoenix. They sent a telegram to New Orleans. The focus of the attack is that the federal government can appoint judges. How can this be done when the law has lost its fairness? The propaganda to us Dixie people mainly focuses on states' rights.

Regarding the power of the federal government." Sheffield thought for a moment and said, "The federal government is indeed much more shameless than our private companies. Don't let Alice know, go ahead!"

Jesra understood and knew that her boss did not want to end his life of missing contact, so he immediately went to contact New Orleans.

The place where Sheffield is now is the state of Arizona in later generations. Of course, the current name here is a place called New Mexico. The New Mexico region also includes the future New Mexico.

Phoenix is ​​now the largest city in New Mexico. To say that there is actually no shortage of anything here, it is just a little short of water.

For Alice Roosevelt, this was a very novel place. Desolation was a trivial matter. As long as she was free and could explore, she held Sheffield's arm and asked questions, "I haven't been here before. Are you familiar with it?"

?Is there some business here?"

"Some, in addition to farming, are mining. Silver mines are the business of some alliance companies. My company is involved in associated mines such as lead and zinc, as well as copper mines." Sheffield did not hide too much.

Let’s talk about our business projects in New Mexico one by one.

"You gave up the silver mine? Isn't that a big loss?" Alice Roosevelt was a little surprised. Sheffield was actually such a person. He gave up the most valuable minerals to others and mined less valuable minerals himself.

This somewhat surprised Alice Roosevelt. As far as she knew, a large number of people in the Democratic Party were obsessed with silver and had been reluctant to accept a simple gold standard. As an important company supporting the Democratic Party, United Corporation would definitely pay a lot for doing so.

With such a big sacrifice, the image of the slave owner became somewhat taller for a while.

"You can't make enough money, so you have to give other companies a chance." Sheffield accepted Alice Roosevelt's compliment sincerely and took the opportunity to shape his own image.

This is of course false. Sheffield knows that in a hundred years the value of gold will be almost a hundred times that of silver. Except for the first world war, when the war was so dark that he no longer cares about anything, the value of silver will increase.

It is very difficult to implement the Silver Party's ideas.

The overestimation of the value of silver itself is only one of the problems, but in pure silver mines, the main value is also reflected in the associated mines, so giving up high-quality silver mines is just a nice talk, and other associated mines bring

The value of minerals is even higher than the final finished silver.

Most people don't need to know so much inside information. They just need to know that silver is quite valuable. In fact, the value of silver is not as high as people think.

The distribution of mineral resources in New Mexico between the Union Company and the Union Company is that the Union Company mines silver mines, and the Union Company mines associated ores and copper mines. The silver in the associated mines is owned by the Union Company. As for other zinc and lead, the same is naturally true.

Other elements of the associated mines rely on the Concern model of the United Company to do everything. It can absorb part of it itself, and sell the ones that cannot be absorbed at a fixed price. As for selling abroad cheaper than domestically, this is a small problem. Domestic companies are all competing

Opponent, this is completely normal.

"I'll take you to have some contact with the Indians!" Looking at Alice Roosevelt who was cheering for leaving New York, Sheffield chuckled and reminded, "Again, don't do this yourself."

"Aren't the Indians very dangerous?" Alice Roosevelt was eager to try, but she didn't seem to feel any danger at all.

"That's for others. Black Gold Company and the Indian tribes have a special relationship. They are both trench partners." Sheffield explained as he walked, "At least compared to others, the Indians still trust our family and treat each other very well."

They all helped a lot. Many Indians were troubled by the United Company communicating on their behalf. I can’t say how good the relationship is, but it is definitely better than the relationship with other citizens.”

As for the use of having good relations with the Indians, it is very useful. If two companies are interested in the minerals here, the joint company can be negotiated, but the other company cannot be negotiated. Or if the negotiation is successful, the Indians will

With the support of the United Company, the company was attacked.

If this company retaliates, the United Company will step in to stop it, which can determine many things. In the matter of minerals, the Indians are compatriots of the United Company. As for some compatriots, they automatically become invaders.

In this area of ​​New Mexico that has not yet been officially established as a state, the current laws do not exist. Only with the help of Indians can the truth be better exerted.

Wearing the armband of Black Gold Company, Sheffield completely lost contact with Alice Roosevelt and disappeared from the sight of the crowd. As for the lawsuit between Northern Securities Company and the federal government, we will talk about it later.

There are many places to play, including the Grand Canyon, Colorful Desert, Petrified Forest and Meteor Craters, which are enough to keep Alice Roosevelt entertained.

Slave owners also supported the president so that he did not have to be distracted by his family at this critical time.

"If you like it, this is not an official administrative district anyway. During this blank period, I can buy it for you!" Holding Alice Roosevelt's thin waist, Sheffield felt a little swollen and found his boss, God.

The feeling of dick.

The federal government temporarily passed a proposal to form a temporary court to hear monopoly cases involving major public interests. After causing all trust companies to be briefly stunned, they were subsequently attacked.

Regardless of industry and finance, Dixie and Yankee, newspapers everywhere attacked the federal government's rogue behavior. There was only a slight difference. Southern newspapers such as the New Orleans Morning News led the way, as long as they focused on states' rights and the federal government.

The imbalance between powers led to concerns that after President Roosevelt came to power, a big government similar to an imperial state might eventually emerge.

This government plans everything for its citizens, and says that once such a big government is needed, there will be concerns similar to European Protestants leaving their homes and being excluded to the American colonies. This trend has already appeared in the federal government, and there are case laws and precedents.

Under certain circumstances, they use proposals to bypass the law and forcibly achieve their goals.

The New Orleans Morning News called on states to pay attention to the federal government's current dangerous actions. Once there will be countless times.

In the face of the unprecedented unity of public opinion across the country, the federal government announced the resumption of the trial of Northern Securities Company's alleged railway monopoly on the grounds of the just-passed proposal.

The White House's decision has undoubtedly given major companies a blow. You can criticize them all you want, but the White House will not change its position. It also stated that the federal government is looking for a suitable third-party venue to conduct the case trial, which will definitely show that the trial is fair and allow everyone to

Most people can't find fault with it.

Naturally, it was impossible for Morgan and Rockefeller to believe this explanation, which was obviously a lie. When the real confrontation came, they discovered that it seemed that they had thought the confrontation was a bit simple and overestimated the bottom line of politicians.

Edith Rockefeller called all the possible places where slave owners might stay. No matter whether it was Arlington, Los Angeles or New Orleans, she was nowhere to be seen. In the end, she could only tell the young Rockefeller that she could not find anyone now.

Later, the federal government officially announced that the suspected monopoly case against Northern Securities Company would be tried in St. Louis, and the judge for the trial was still being selected.

The most powerful team of lawyers on the planet, who had just taken a breather, had to return to New York and head to St. Louis for the second trial. Because they didn't know who the three judges in the trial were, even James felt a little bad in his heart.

He felt that before leaving, he said to Morgan, "Mr. Morgan, I hope you can be mentally prepared. We know nothing about the judges currently hearing the case and the local environment. The most important thing is the attitude of the federal government. When the second

A retrial can be said to be a signal sent by the White House, which is very directional and may even interfere with the thinking of the judge hearing the case. In short, under this unfair ruling, the probability of our failure is very high."

On the day of the retrial of Northern Securities, Assistant Attorney General Baker was present on behalf of Attorney General Knox. His appearance almost represented the tendency of the federal Department of Justice, which made James, who defended Northern Securities, feel uncomfortable.

As for the three judges in the court, James didn't know any of them, and he didn't know where they were from.

Assistant Attorney General Baker's statement at the beginning of the trial shocked James, "The previous St. Paul court ruled that there is no essential connection between the monopoly formed by one railroad purchasing another railroad and Northern Securities' purchase of controlling interests in two railroads.

There is no difference at all.”

"What an Assistant Attorney General said made me very worried about the fairness of this trial. The matter of Northern Securities Company has already been tried, and the temporary adoption of a proposal to restart the trial shows that the federal government has malicious intentions towards the existence of large enterprises." James.

He immediately retorted loudly, "This is the government's illegal appropriation of private property. Other than that, there is no explanation."

Assistant Attorney General Baker took a deep look at James. He had to applaud his opponent's eloquence, but was it useful? He ignored James and made it clear, "If what Northern Securities did is legal, then Northern Securities can

Purchasing and controlling all the railways in the country, and by controlling railway freight rates, they can even control the country's economy. Doesn't this directly replace the government's responsibilities?"
