How the Bankers Live on the Sweat OF
Uncle Sans Face.
The following extract from speech
delivered by Hon. s. S. Marshall of
Illinois in the bwer house of congress
in July, 1856, graphically depicts our
present infamous national banking
system: ,....
IAN association Of gentlemen in an
eastern state raised $1,000 in cur
rency. They went to the Office of the
register of the treasury and exchanged
their currency for $500, 900 in 0 per cent
gold bearing bonds. Then they went
to the office of the comptroller Of cur
rency, in the same building, organized
a national bank, deposited their $780,
600 in bonds and received for their
bank s27O,ooo in national currency.
They had let the government have
$50, Don In currency more than they
had received for banking purposes
and had on deposit $500, 900 on which
they received as interest from the gov
eminent SIS, 900 year in gold land ex'
empt from taxation). This was
pretty good fnanciering, for. those
bankers TO receive SIS, 900 a year in
gold on the $50, 900 in currency which
they had loaned the government. But
this is not the whole story. They had
tn cir bank made q public depository.
They soon discovered that there was
seldom less than 81, 900, 900 of govern
ment money deposited in their vaults.
They did not like to see this vast sum
lie idle. They, therefore, took 81 ,oOO,'
900 of this government money and
bought 81, 600, 600 of five-twenty bond'
with It. In other words they loaned
81, 200, 900 of the governments own
money to the government, and de
posted the bonds received in the
vaults of their bank, on which they re,
ceived from the same government
sec, 900 year in gold as interest. Inui
for the $40, 900 in currency, which they
originally loaned the gQvernment' tne>
received annually in all s7aooe."

growth are in the "bob" vitality inter
ested nowadays If any evidence were
needed to indorse this statement the
many shedding parties at the Hudson
river residence of Mr.. George Gould
will supply it. Mr.. Gould is very en-
thusiastic sledder, and of all types pre-
fers bob" and that, with plenty Of
money to build splendid toboggan
slide, he should prefer to do just
straight "bobbing" and coasting, drag
ging his own sled up the incline again,
speaks volumes for his enthusiasm for
this old time sport of the snow season.
Probably it was this detail which has
brought about a number of improve
ments and also variety of new appli-
ances for use in the coming season.
The old sled was a comparatively
small, low running affair, and it gained
its advantage in speed over the tobog-
gan by reason of the friction surface
being much smaller, as the sled runs on
the two narrow runners while the
whole under surface of the toboggan
touches the snow. Where the snow is
soft the toboggan has the advantage
by reason of not sinking so deep, but
where the surface is moderately hard
the sled is the faster vehicle of the two.
The one great drawback to the old
sled, and the toboggan as well, was
the fact that where sudden turn had

one at a sudden or sharp turn, and will
be especially acceptable when it is de-
sired to take passenger, as it gives
nearly double the room and increases
the command over the sled thousand
fold. The writer remembers winter
some eight years ago when he was sled
ding down pretty steep hill to a road
on the other side of which was a broad,
deep river Coming down the hill there
was an upset, and to escape 1t he turned
his sled on one side, getting out of the
regular track, and spinning straight
for the river bank. The sled struck
the road, and in the attempt to turn it,
the two riders were spilled into the
water and so lost the remainder of the
evenings sport, and caught heavy
cold. If the sled had been flexible the
angle could have been turned safely
and the sled brought to a standstill on
the bare road
One of the novel ideas for transpor-
tation over snow and ice which is to
be introduced this year is the Sparks
toetting or Norwegian sled. This is to
the Norwegian what the horse is to
the Arab and the Cossack, and SO high
ly is it thought of that several compa,
nies of the standing army of that coun-
try and also of Sweden have been fitted
out with sleds for reconnoitering pur-
poses. The Sparkstoetting rider stands
Frederick citizen., 1895-01-11

to be made it was almost impossible to
make it without either stopping the
way Of the sled altogether or in turn
ing it over "llertlop" without warning
This was due to the fact that the sled
was rigid and shared the disadvantage
Of two-wheeled cart, as compared
with one which has the front wheel
fitted on pivot like delivery wagon.
This suggested itself to some bright in
dividual, and the result has been a
flexible sled. This sled is so built that
the runners can be veered to the right
or to the left, and they are made of ''1"'
shaped spring steel, which makes the
sled very strong vertically, but other
wise flexible to a certain extent. Across
the front is Il steering bar, which may
be operated either by the hands or the
feet. and as there is no drag or friction
as when the foot is trailed, the speed is
much greater. II is, however, safe to
predict that the rider will lie on it
when by himself and hang his leg out
as a guide for the straight run, for in
this is half the established fun, but
the new principle will be welcome

in forcing the Sled along. The sled
only weighs thirty pounds, and there
is not much better fun than racing
with it on a clear, moonlight night.
The latest thing in ice travel is the
snow and ice velocipede of Prof. George
Whistler. who last summer delighted
the eyes of the passengers up and down
the Hudson by his gyrations with his
water bicycle in the neighborhood of
Poughkeepsie. The machine is some
thing like bicycle, especially as re-
CARDS the frame and upper part. The
front fork" is not fork, but a rigid
post terminating in skate which can
be moved to left or right for the pur-
pose Of steering the machine. At the
back OF this, where the chain is fastened,
there is another skate blade, but this
one is rigid and only intended to hold
the machine certain distance from
the surface OF the ice when the rider is
mounted. Over this is affixed the sad
die on the usual spring. At the back
OF this is the driving wheel, which has
thin steel rim with projecting teeth
which grip the ice, but not with force
enough to act as drag or destroy the
speed by any waste of motive power.
This is driven by sprocket chain from
the crank shaft in the usual way. 1t
is claimed that the quicker this ma
chine is driven the easier the work, as
the great resistance comes from the
grip of the machine on the ice. Get
road machine into motion and then
cease pedaling, it runs n very little
way if the road be level; try the same
thing with this machine on the ice and
it runs three times as far. So with
man on skates. For work on snow the
two front skates are exchanged for
ones of broader bottom, but the driving
wheel remains unchanged. 1t is doubt
full if it would be easy to work on snow
unless the crust was very hard, as the
weight of the machine, over one hun
dred pounds. is against it.
Frederick citizen., 1895-01-11

erect The sled consists of two ten
foot long runners of seasoned pine
which are about an inch thick and four
inches wide, turned up at the ends like
an old-fashioned pair of skates. Near
the center of the rnners, little to
the front of the exact center, there are
fixed two light uprights three feet
high, fitted in some cases with a light
crossbar, and these uprights are guyed
to the turned up ends by light but
strong pieces of wood, so that they will
not sag forward with any ordinary
weight, but will remain rigid. The
two runners are also guyed across the
end at the front 70 keep them the right
distance apart. Just behind each OF
the uprights there is foothold made
on each of the runners by tiny blocks
of wood which keep the foot from slip
ping off and give it good solid front
brace.
The rider takes the machine and
places it either on the level, or on an
incline, where the snow is thick and
crusted, and placing his left foot on
the foothold on the left runner, he
grasps the upright with his hands and
gives a strong push to the ground with
his right foot. Properly applied the
sled will run straight forward and a
second push with the foot will increase
the momentum until after the first
eight or ten pushes the sled will run
forward with a minimum effort on
anything like good going, either up
hill, on the level or downhill. When
one foot is tired, the other is used.
The runner to protect his shoes has a
tiny clamp Of steel which Ats q the
toe, and so gets better grip of the
snow and saves the leather. in COM
ing down hill the foot is used as a
brake as in shedding. AS to the speed
to be obtained, there is a Swedish
record of one hundred and thirty miles
In twenty-four hours over regular coun-
try roads. When it is desired to carry
passenger, a light but stout seat Of
oak is laid on the runners between the
guys and the uprights, and the rider
sits there with the legs curled up under
them. Except in going up hill this
front weight does not make much diff
ference in the speed or in actual work
