Colossal Frauds

"The New York World reports more

exceeds greatly the reported failures.
The unreliability of commercial agen-

Bradstreet and Dunn are two Of
the greatest colossal frauds the world
has ever produced. For years these
commercial agencies have set them

If not Fiat" What,

The United States mints have is
sled over billion OF one cent pieces,
which after receiving the stamp of
the government is worth and passes
current in the business of the coun-
try for over ten million dollars, yet
the metal of which these were made

| 100000.
1t will be seen that at lie lst 50, $780,

ey is pure fiat.
Secretary Herbert at banquet in-
New York told the business men Of
that city that, "the mo ST mischievous
heresy that ever was ipstilled into the
minds of voters in this land, the fun
damental error that lies at the foun
dation of every argument now made
for the unlimited coinage OF silver lies
in the idea that congress and not
commerce controls the pri ce OF silver
and gold"
| We would ask the secretary wheth-
er it was congress or commerce thai
added the nine and half million dol
lars to the value Of the copper that is
used every day in making purchases
and paying debts among .65 million
American people.
A careful study of this question will
convince any thinking person that
all money is "lilt" and the currency
value is merely q matter of legal en-
acttnent.
Any money which the government
will receive at par is always good
money and it makes no difference
about the material on which the gov
ernInent stamp is placed.
Another striking illustration of the
government fiat, is the nickel cur
rency of which more than thirteen
million dollars is in circulation aud
always passing at par.
The intrinsic" value of the metal
required to make this currency and
the total cost of making it was less
than two million dollars.
Was it congress, or commerce that

The court, after hearing the evidence

The progress which Japan is max

industries and foreign trade was re-
Gently adverted to in these columns.
But as nothing was said of the profits,
the presentation of a few facts upon
this point will be of interest. A letter
bearing upon the subject was recent
ly sent by former citizen of Mime
sofa, now a resident of Japan, to a
friend in Minneapolis, and the Penny
Press of the latter city makes ex-
tracts from the epistle, rs follows:

shudder-feel the cold chills crawl up
and down my back, to think that
should America adopt silver stand
ard she would be reduced to the fear
full level and conditions of silver
countries like Japan!
II can't help thinking what a state
of affairs these people are laboring
under out here in Japan! Owing to
the demand for labor in the different
manufacturing establishments, wages
are constantly increasing, cotton and
yarn mills are working double crews
night and day. and they have paid
dividends to their owners ranging
from 10 to 20 per cent-payments be-
ing made, Of course, in debased sill
ver.'
"Even the government railways
paid dividend of 1-2 per cent and
the private railways per cent in the
year 1895. The gross earnings of the
Kinshu Railway Company amounted
to Is 1-2 yen per mile; the Ramsay
railway to II 65-1OOths per mile; the
Chikibu railway SO yens per mile, and
the Sobu railway % 7-10ths yens per

dividend of % per cent; the electric

tional Bank 12 per cent; the 1itsui

cent; the Rice Exchange 80 per cent
the Bay Navigation Company IS per

pany 10 per cent.
''Oh, it is simply awful what the
people have to suffer who do business
in Japan! The dividends which these
manufacturers and corporate CON-
panies are making are small (?) that
it makes one yearn to return to the
United States! And the worst of it is
that our people take their divi
dends in this dishonest silver money!
However, there is one thing that do
miss out in this country very much
indeed-and that is the assignee and
receivership business. l haven't
heard of one since lived in Japan
in fact think we shall have to i'm
port one from some gold standard
