MORE FRAUDS BROUGHT TO LIGHT,
In the Investigation of the Swindling Build

In the Investigation of the swindling Build
ing and Loan Concern.
CHICAGO, Aug 14.-Postofice Inspector
Stuart was in receipt of many letters to-day
which show that the National Capital Saw
ings and Building and Loan Association
was even a greater swindle than at first sup
posed. Daniel Kouns, Leeds, Ia, farmer
writes that not only did the association sue
ceed in getting him to purchase stock, but
it got the deed to his farm as well. He
saws:
i bought ten shares of stock for which 1
expected loan. paid three months dues
in advance SO for appraising my property,
and s. additional dues Augusta 1 got my
get loan as the abstract l sent them of the
deed didn't show 1 owned the land. sent
them the deed and they now have it. Please
send it back.
A man in Lewiston, Pa, representing
a large number of people who formed syn
dicate to purchase shares in the association,
writes that the syndicate invested in 90
shares which were paid for IN full 'Before
investing, however" says the Lewiston
man, 1--WE were very cautious and went to
the Auditor General, who looked up the in
corporation papers of the association and
indorsed it highly" Lewis +. Mortimer,
the absconding manager, the authorities
have discovered has escaped to Canada.
His father, also an officer of the association,
has not been heard from.

THE ROMAN FINANCES.


Mr.. Alexander Del Mar, formerly di.
rector of the Bureau of Statistics of the
United States Monetary Commission Of
1876, has written several able works, en-
titled "The Science of Money" "The
History of Money in Ancient Countries" +"
"The History of the Precious Metals" "
'The Rape of the Earth" etc. His
writings have given him wide reputa-
ton for eminent ability In both Europe
and America. In one OF his books pub
lished in London, Mr.. Del Mar concludes
discussion of the Roman finances as
follows:
"Looking back now upon the none
tary systems of Rome, as they have here
in resuscitated from the numismatic re-
mains and the few disjointed fragments
she has left US of her laws and history,
1t appears:
81. That about the period when the
Gauls were expelled from Rome, the
Roman republic deliberately and pur-
posely adopted what we would now call
an frredeemable paper currency, only
that instead of being printed upon paper,
printing being then unknown, and paper
flimsy, 1t consisted OF numerals stamped
upon bronze, whose emission was con-
trolled and regulated by the senate, who
jealously maintained and guarded this
privilege, only yielding it when the con-
stitution was overturned and the senate
itself had sunk to the condition of mere
registry of the edicts of ephemeral ty-
rants.
"2. That gold and silver coins had pre-
viously long been in common use among
all the nations surrounding Rome; that
gold and silver in ample quantities were
easily obtainable by the republic had 1t
been best to use them for coins; but
these metals were bought and sold in
republican Rome as commodities; that
they were stored as bullion in vaults for
use In foreign wars and shipped to India
in exchange for merchandise; that they
were allowed to be coined by Roman
families long before they were used as
money In Rome; and that In choosing to
adopt an irredeemable currency the
Roman senate did 80 from a conviction
that at that time gold and silver were an
insecure foundation upon which to rest
the industrial and social superStructure
of great state, and not because of any
inability on its part to command what
would, at that period, have been ample
supplies of these metals.
"3. That so long as the Roman numeri-
cal system token money! was preserved
intact, the state continued to increase In
population and productive resources;
that long before the numerical system
was abandoned It was encroached upon
by silver; and afterward also by gold, In
the legal use given TO these metals for
the payment Of troops, who, having them
selves been the means Of capturing large
quantities Of bullion from the enemy, re-

deposit and TO issue government certificates
therefor, which certificates shall bear inter-
est at the rate Of per cent. per annum and
be exempt from the payment Of taxes; but
no certificate issued for less than $50 shall
bear interest, but shall be made full legal
tender except ON deposit with che govern
ment.
5. That the money so received on deposit,
under proper restrictions and limitations,
shall upon demand be loaned TO the people
on real estate and personal security In sums
NOT to exceed 1900 to any one person al d
rate Of interest not 10 exceed per cent.
per annum; and the money 90 borrowed
shall be lrst lien upon all the property Of
the debtor, irrespective Of the exemption
laws of che states, and in default Of the pay
ment of interest or principal the same may
be collected by due process of law, or by
additional tax levied upon the property Of
the debtor.
EDITOR ADvoCATE:--The foregoing res
olutiOns will be submitted to a conven-
ton Of the Peoples party called to meet
at Oskaloosa, Kan, September Is.
These resolutions are simple and COM
prehensive, and have the support Of
wholesome precedents found in many Of
the governments of Europe.
1t is to be observed that there ia no
attack made on national banks, orthe OBJ
vlOus reason that the postal savings bank
and loan plan would work gradual sx-
tinctlon of these institutions, for no bank
Of issue could compete with 8 per cent.
government loans Of money to the people.
The Sub-treasury plan Is also ignored
in these resolutions, for the reason that
an increased circulating medium and
loan Of money at per cent. to the peo-
pie, the farmer would be able to obtain
at all times fair prices for his crops with
out the aid Of the sub-treasury plan.
Particular attention is drawn to one
peculiar feature of this postal savings
bank and loan plan, towit: That the GER
tiflcate Issued on the receipt of deposit
for less sum than $50 Is made q full
legal tender; the practical effect of this
will be to greatly increase IL not, In fact
double the circulating medium Of the
country.
Postal savings banks and loan instltu-
tlOnS have been In practical operation In
the republic Of France since 1881 with
happy results TO the farmer and common
people Of that country. Similar institu-
tions obtain also in Holland, Belgium
and in Austria Hungary, and have re-
Gently been adopted In England.
1t is severe commentary upon our
Republican institutions that in making
these demands for reform In our govern
ment the people before they can be
heard are compelled to hunt mp examples
In the old and effete monarchies Of
Europe. As Peoples party man, and
as the Peoples party is q progressive
party seeking ut all times better me thods
in government, we offer this postal saw
lngS bank and loan plan as a supplement
TO the sub-tresSury plan, believing as we
do that It will be accepted as the better
plan. The machinery is already pro-
vlded, and it only requires small amend
ment to our postal laws to put 1t into
practical operation.
In this way out, there is no obstruction,

Of the republic, and whose patriotism
was thus corrupted by the spolls Of
battle; and that from the time OF Ghis In
PRODUCTION Of silver and afteFward gold
into the currency, and perhaps partly in
consequence thereof, the state began to
decay, because prices came to be based
upon the bullion value Of the precious
metals instead of the legal value Of the
bronze, and with this change prices Inn
mediately began to fall, and continued
to do 80 for over ten centuries. The
tremendous social consequences OF this
continued fall OF prices has already been
fully depleted by David Hume and Sir
Archibald Alison. Whether this picture
is exaggerated or not, 1t Ia no part OF the
authors design to discuss in this place;
but certain 1t Is that, As AntoninuS
Augustus said, "money has more to do
with the distemper Of the Roman en-
pire than the Huns and VandalS.

"Now that the days OF conquest are
virtually over, and nations can no longer
hope to recruit their supplies of metal
through the spolls Of war-now that the
days Of slavery are ended, and such sup
Plies can. no longer be obtained by fore
ing captives into the extermlnating la
bOrs of impoverished mlnes-unles0 the
proportion OF paper Of gold and silver In
the moneys of the world Is still further
increased, we must be prepared TO wit
ness permanent and indefinite fall OF
prices and to incur that era Of CONNER
cial depression and industrial distress,
and, perhaps, those political connections,
which have ever proved to be the con-
comitants Of such q state and tendency
of affairs.
"When the principles which underlie
it are thoroughly understood, money Is,
perhaps, the mightleSt engine to which
man can lend his guidance. Unheard,
unfelt, almost unseen, 1t has the power 70
so distribute the burdens, qualifications
and opportunities of life that each indl-
vidual shall enjoy that share OF them to
which his merits entitle him, or TO dis
pense them with so partial hand as to
violate every principle OF justice, and
perpetuate a succession Of social slavery
to the end Of time"
That Is a short and satisfactory state
ment of the Roman finances, by one Of
the ablest and most orthodox authorities
in the world. While Rome used q "fiat"
money of cheap material, possessing
legal value only, the people prospered
and maintained their liberties. That
prosperous period OF 200 years was known
as the Roman republic.
When gold and silver were adopted as
money, further progress was impossible.
The country had falling prices through
scarcity and dearneSS Of money. The
republic became an empire, and the
empire itself went into decay and was
dismembered.-JOhn DaVis, N. O., in
