but Postmaster-General Gary was also
On the list, as were Congressman Ding
ley, Congressman Allen, Of Mississippi,
and United States Senator Wellington.
Secretary Gage spoke to the toast RE
lation of Business to Government
Finances" He said, in part:
1T is the just complaint against govern
ment issue of paper money that, though
obedient to the legislative will, it is never
theless not in harmony with higher eco
nonic law, which blesses the obedient and
Furnishes all violation. whether the viola
ton be Willful or through ignorance. A
true credit instrum ent, truthfully evidence
ing that a thing of value has passed-yet
still exists in fact-even If transformed in
shape and substance, such an instrument
Is clothed with the quality of legitimacy.
If the fact be otherwise, If the value passed
has been consumed, destroyed or lost, the
credit instrument itself becomes CONNER
cial interloper, a misleading token, nor can
kings, emperors or senate change the fact,
Il can only point out the fact that our
own legal tender notes, dear as they are to
the patriotic heart, serviceable as they
were in the great crisis, are yet out of &C
cord with the true economic laws. The
value for which they were originally issued
was Immediately consumed or destroyed
AS now reissued they are evidences of a.
value already consumed by the issuer or of
services already past. These notes operat-
ing in the commercial field. thus difPeren.
tiated from the true credit instrume nts
which commerce can create, and if left
at reasonable liberty will itself create,
must somewhere work injury, even If we
cannot distinctively point it out. In my
opinion 1t Is here that business receives an
injury, general and wide-reaching, through
it's forced relations to government paper
money!"

New York, Feb. 2.-Northern New

Many Lives Lost.
Boston, Feb. 3.--As the news begins
to come in from the marine observa-
ton stations that have previously been
cut off it becomes certain that the loss
of life and damage to shipping is worse
than has ever been caused by any
storm on the New England coast. It is
already known that 43 lives have been
lost in Massachusetts bay, while from
the long list of vessels wrecked under
circumstances that made the saving of
life an impossibility it is probable that
the number of deaths will reach 100. 1t
is estimated that the loss to property in
New England will reach fully $4,000, 900.
Wreckage is strewn up and down the
coast from Cape Ann to Cape Cod.
Thirty schooners were wrecked in Mas
sachusetts bay. On land the loss by
the storm seems to have been confined
entirely to property.
