jefferson on Money.
The following are some of the many
declarations of Mr.. j efferson on the
question of money:
And SO the nation may continue to
issue it's bills as far as it's wants re-
quire and the limit of it's circulation
will admit. Those limits understood
to extend with us at present to 500,
900, 900, greater sum than would be
necessary for any war. But this, the
only resource which the government
could command with certainty, the
states have unfortunately fooled away,
nay, corruptly allie mated to swindlers
and shavers, under the cover of private
banks. Say, too, as an additional evil,
that the dispose bic funds of individual s
to this great amount have thus been

full enterprise, and employed in the
useless usurious, and demoralizing
practices of bank directors and their
accomplices. In the war of 1855 our
state availed itself of this fund by is
suing a paper money bottomed on a
specific tax for its REDEEM ption, and to
insure its credit, bearing an interest
of per cent. Within a very short
time not bill of this emission was to
be found in circulation. 1t was locked
up in the chests of executors, guard
ians, widows, farmers, etc. We then
issued bills bottomed on redeeming
tax, but bearing no interest. These
were readily received and never de-
preciated single farthing. '--Opinions

The question will be asked, and
ought to be looked at, what is to be
the course if loans cannot be obtained?
There is but one carthage delenda-
est Bank paper must be suppressed.
and the circulating medium must be
restored to the nation to whom it be-
longs. 1t is the only fund on which
they can rely for loans; it is the only
recourse which can never fail them
and it is an abundant one for every
necessary purpose. Treasury bills
bottomed on taxes, bearing or not
bearing interest, as may be found
necessary, thrown into circulation
will take the place of so much gold
and silver, which last, when crowded
will find an effiux into other countries,

Jefferson on Banks.

81 have ever opposed money of
banks; not of those discounting for
cash, but of those foisting their own
paper in circulation, and thus Danish
ing our cash. My zeal against those
institutions was so warm and open at
the adjustment of the bank of the
United States that l was derided as a
maniac by the tribe of bank mongers
who were seeking to fitch from the
public, thus swindling on barren
grains. But the errors of that day
can not be recalled. The evils they
have engendered axe now upon us,
and how are we to get out of them?
Shall we build an altar to the old
ruined individuals but saved the re-
public, and burn on that all the bank
charters, present and future, and their
notes with them? For these are to
ruin both republic and individuals.
Letter of Thomas jefferson to Presi-
dent Adams, Jan. 81, 1914.
In letter to John Taylor, May rs,
1916, he said (Jefferson's Works, vol
ume 6, pages 6o5-9):
''The system of banking we have
both equally and ever reprobated.
contemplate it as blot left in all
our constitutions, which if not sew
cred, will end in their distinctions,
which is already hit by the gam blers
in corporation, ond is sweeping away
in its progress the fortunes and NOR
ais of our citizens Funding. l con-
slider, as limited rightfully to re-
demption of the debt within the lives
of majority of the generation con-
tracing it; every generation coming
equally by the laws the Creator of
the world to the free possession of
the earth he made for their subsist-
ence, unencumbered by their prede-
cessors. And l sincerely believe,
with you, that banking institutions
are more dangerous than standing
armies, and that the principle of
spending money to be paid by pos
terity under the name of funding, but
swindling futurity on large scale.
MIR. jefferson further said:
Let us found government where
there shall be no extremely rich men
and no abjectly poor ones. Let us
found government upon the intelli-
gence of the people and the equitable
distribution of property. Let us make
laws where there shall be no govern
classes. Let us protect all, in life,
liberty and property, and then say to
every American citizen, with the gifts
that God has given you, your brain
and Drawn and energy, work out your
own fortunes under a just government
and an equal Jurisprudence.

to Albert Gallatin tJefferson's Works,

suite, was welcomed on the platform by
emperor William, who had personally su-
perlntended all the arrangements for the re-
ception of the Emperor Of Austria
Inc Two emperors, upon meeting, kissed
each other twice and were then driven to-

The reception accorded to Emperor Fran
els Joseph was most hearty and enthusiast
tic. Triumphal arches were erected over
the streets through which the two emperors
were to pass. The town was handsomely
decorated with bunting and enormous
crowds cheered themselves 'hoarse as the
emperors drove by.
After arriving at the residence prepared
for him, Emperor Francis Joseph changed
the PruSSian uniform, which he had been
wearing and paid visit to the Empress of
Germany. The empress then presented the
young princes TO the Austrian emperor,
and later luncheon was served in the apart

ABANDONED TRACKS.
Summary Action to BE Taken by the
missiOners.


The Commissioners have determined to
take summary action with those railroads
that have abandoned parts of their route
and take up the tracks along such places
This action was recommended by Cant
Fiebeger today and the matter was sent
to the attorney for the District for his
opinion as to the Commissioners power in
the premises.
1t appears from the records of the office
that the lexington railroad has abandoned
that portion of its route along New York
avenue north to p street. The Brightwood
railroad has abandoned it's tracks on kene-
saw and Marshall streets from 18th to 18th
abandoned its entire branch line from 18th
and G street southeast to nth street
All of these matters have been before the
Commissioners for some time. Perhaps the
greatest protest came from those persons
who lived in the neighborhood of the jail
and those who visited the Congressional
cemetery, against the abandonment of The
Anacostia branch. AS preliminary move
In the matter requests were sent to the
president of each Of the railroads, that they
furnish the Commissioners at once with a
schedule of the running of the cars Some
trouble was experienced in getting them,
but the last one-the Anacostia road-sub-
mitted it's schedule this morning, and i'm
mediately thereafter action was taken. the
Commissioners are determined to compel
these railroads to operate their lines or for
felt their tracks, If there Is any law on the
subject to help them.
