Lawyer NJ. S. Gintterman, representing
the Acknowledgement of New Jersey in
the proceedings to dissolve the American
Tobacco Company, VIII on Monday apply
for leave to file a supplementary bill.
The application will be based on facts
that have been learned only since the
suit was commenced.

bacco grower is at the mercy of the
American Tobacco Company; that the
Tobacco Trust dictates the price of
the product, and that the grower is com
PEELED to accept hat price. The granting
of the application will permit of secur-

FRANK 0, COLE ON FINANCE.
FEe Tells St. Johns Guild All Aboul


Money.
Mr.. Frank o. Cole lectured to the MEM
bers of st. Johns Guild of the Iron Cross
last night on 1.-THE Financial Crisis"
Originally wealth was considered" he
said, 'by the standard Of sheep and
cattle. In these days people bartered one
thing for another. The first money in
the world was circulated at Athens,
when tina city was at the height of its
glory.
San bills" he said, FIRST came into
use about a century after Martin Luther's
time. Men would deposit bars of gold
and silver with those in whom they
placed confidence, and would receive in
return certificates of deposit. Govern
ments, seeing how they could circulate
money without having it leave their
vaults, issued bills. and from that has
grown the whole system of banks and
banking as it exists today"
Mr.. Cole traced the history of the
United StatesrTreasury from the time it
was organized by Alexander Hamilton,
whom he styled as one or the ablest men
America aver produced, to the present
time. The first coins issued by the United
States were pennies. Our ancestors
thought as much of a penny as we hin
of a dollar. Hamilton started the United
States Bank, with branches in various
parts of the country. 1t failed to get a
renewal of it's charter in 1884, and passed
out of existence. After Its demise banks
sprang up all over the United States.
All safeguards were thrown aside, and
they issued bills regardless of whether
they had money on deposit or not. In
there was a great financial
panic in 1896. There was another panic
in 1857. The discovery of gold in Cali
fornia in 1S49, and it's large production
caused the disappearance of silver from
circulation. 1t remained so until until
1872 or 1873. when immense silver mines
were discovered in Nevada and Arizona.
The discovery changed the whole cur-
rent, and silver began to depreciate in
value. The value of gold rose, and
that of silver fell. Gold was selected by
common consent as a basis of values be-
cause of its rarity, and on account of
its great value in small bulk. There is
only about $3.50, 600, 900 worth of it coined
annually now. If the Government should
go to a silver basis tomorrow almost all
values would be doubled, as the silver
dollar is worth only fifty cents.
