Whlstling to Keep Their Courage
UP.

WASHINGTON, June 13-The finan
cial condition of the country, as viewed
fr0A a Treasury standpoint. shows
general improvement. Bank and com.
mercial failures are fewer: Europe is
buying our grain in greater quantities
gold shipments have ceased, at least fol
the present; confidence is being restored
and money is not so tight.
The Treasury net gold has increased
from 500 100000 to SOL 300, 900, and the
demand for small money in the West
will have the effect to further increase
the Treasury gold. The rate of ex
change is sufficiently high to warrant
the shipment of gold abroad, but the
fact that commercial paper is for sale
in London has a deterrent effect.
There is general feeling that the
worst is passed, the weaker financial
institutions and business firms having
sucoumbed, while those that passed
through so far unsoathed, are the
stronger for having weathered the
financial storm.
As an off set to the above rose colored
neWs dispatch, the following will
answer. Dozens of similar import ap-
pear in the same issue which is but a
daily repetition.

Wall Street Scored.

The New York World handles the
pirates Of Wall Street in the following
vigorous style:
The disturbance in Wall Street has
cost many hundred millions of dol
lars.
1t has resulted directly from the
practice of fraud and from the tolera'
tion of such practices. 1t is the
direct consequence of the fact that a
man may fagrantly violate both the
moral and the criminal law and perpe.
trate the most scandalous swindles
without ceasing to be accounted
reputable in Wall Street, if only his
operations are measured 10y millions
and he manages to keep out Of Jail.
These things have been done by
the manipulators of the cordage and
whiskey trusts, the coal conspiracy
and every other monopoly organiza-
tion whose stock is listed on the
Exchange.
The organizers of every indusJrial
trust in restraint of trade and com
petition are criminals by express
definition of law. Every such trust
is criminal conspiracy, denounced
as such by statue. Yet their stocks
are vouched for by bankers of emf
nence and listed upon the Stock
Exchange quite as ifthey represented
lawful business undertakings.
When men exploit these enter
prises upon an inflated capitalization
they commit second crime-the
particularly contemplate one of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, an offence for which small
rascals are hustled off to prison
whenever they are caught.
When these reputable" manipu,
lators "operate" in the stocks of their
companies and sell the market short
they again offend against the Penal
Code and commit an additional
crime. On all these points The World
has cited the exact letter of the law.
Yet even when all the scandalous
facts OIL such operations are made
public these men are treated in Wall
Street as reputable persons, nay even
as persons entitled to special regard
for the holiness Of their financial
conceptions, and the "brilliancy"
manifested by them in getting other
peoples money by dishonest trick
device.
The absence of regard for the moral
law in Wall Street and the contempt
felt there for the Penal Code as a
thing applicable to big rascals as
we'll as to little ones are the primary
causes of catastrophe which infiicts
untold harm upon the business and
prosperity of the people. Can Wall
Street reform y--Naticaal Waterman.
No sir, it can't reform but will
have to be reformed. Our national
banking system is the underpinning
of the Wall Street buccaneering
system. They must be replaced by
government banks and from that
hour Wall Streets occupation will
be gone.-ED

National Banks,

When National Bank desires to
withdraw its circulation, it can not
go to the Treasury and receive the
difference between the amount OF
bonds and the amount of its circula-
ton, as many suppose. 1t must first
deposit lawful money 10 the extent
of outstanding national bank notes,
and receive the full amounts of bonds
deposited. By so doing it reduces
the circulating medium of the country
to that extent. By the report of
the Comptroller of the currency, page
60, it will be seen that $25, ,OS3 of
lawful money is held in the Treasery
to redeem outstanding national
bank currency, and only $l63 ,275 800
in bonds held for national bank cir
culation. Under the present system,
every dollar of national bank cur,
rency retired is so much currency
taken out Of circulation. In this lies
the danger in giving to such cor
porations, the power of initiating or
contracting the currency at will, be-
cause such power is always employed
for selfish purpose. When contrac.
ton will be more profitable to those
corporations than initiating, the cur,
rency is contracted. The people
against whom this contraction is
aimed are helpless and without
remedy. The situation is carefully
examined, and when a larger volume
of currency is most needed, 9 con,
traction is certain to be met. AT
this juncture, borrowers are taught
the power of money to Cypress. 1t is
TO prevent this oppression that the
Peoples Party demand that national
banks shall be abolished. They are
the curse Of our financial system and
the governing factor in the distress
which is COW being felt all oyer the
nation. We say wipe them out

go into the business because they

natural adherence as to the handling

away and becomes a part of the bus

connected with administering the
last sad rites.
There are doubtless some men who
become hardened to the business.

therefrom, but in my opinion they
are few and far between. Sympathy

are few in the business who do not

are those that occur when the coffin

from view for ever the much loved

performed, yet the undertaken may,
