pictures are eight in number and are
intended for his family and friends

So little did Bismarck realize the
proximity of his end that as late as
last Friday he gave one OF his trusted
servants two expensive meerschaum
pipes to be colored for him, as he had
already done on previous occasions.

cd un opinion which brings to the fore

Referring to the new federal law re-
curing an internal revenue stamp
upon the certificates issued by the

says "The federal government has
power to TAX the agencies through
which the state performs Its functions.
These certificates arc required TO be
issued by your department, which Is a

January, 1907 at which were adopted
tho resolutions out OF which, by grad
ual steps, the currency scheme now
before the house Of representatives hns
been evolved. The grievance which
that convention was specially called
10 redress was the lack OF money In
the west and the southwest, and the
measure required for the purpose was
unanimously declared TO be an in
crease In the number OF banks and
their wider distribution. II being nd-
mitted that banks In these destitute
localities could not make living by
legitimate banking alone, the privil.
cge was demanded for them OF issuing,
more literally than Is now permitted,
notes TO serve as money, and this de-
mand now takes the form of one for
liberty TO NIL banks to issue circulating
notes upon assets without either
bonds or reserve notea The support
ers Of the measure do not seem to con-
slider that II the notes issued by such
banks arc good they will not stay In u
poor neighborhood and that II they
are not good they will be only instru-
ments for swindling the ignorant and
the uuwary.
1t used to be urged in favor Of banks
that they are indispensable agents in
procuring money for the government
by buying its bonds when 1t needs to
sell them, and that without their help
no bonds could be sold. This super
stition has received its death blow
from the experience wo are now hav-
ing Instead Of the government being
obliged to beg assistance from the
banks In selling their bonds, 1t is the
banks which are begging the govern-
ment as favor to let them have the
bonds to sell, They never indeed
bought bonds with their own money,
but used for the purpose the money
OF their depositors, and now that the
depositors are permitted to do IL dir
ecLly they are buying the bonds with
out paying toll to the banks.
The legitimate function OF banks Is
to receive money on deposit and lend
II out The issuing OF notes to serve
as money is n usurpation OF n prero-
gative which properly belongs to tho
government only, and which should
never be delegated except to agencies
controlled by the government nnd re-
spousible TO II. To ascribe to bank
currency virtue not possessed by
government notes is pure fetch wor-
ship, which advancing enlightenment
Is bound to destroy and which no ra-
tional citizen ought to encourage. The
people are entitled to the best and SAT-
est money That can be furnished them,
and there Is no money 80 safe and 30
good as that issued by the government
and secured by the entire wealth OF
the nation. To ask us to accept, In
place Of this, the notes Of thousands OF
| little banks, managed by thousands OF
men of moderate abilities, at tho best,
and frequently, as VIC see, not entitled
to any confidence whatever, Is sheer
lunacy.

Every great political party has gain
ed its first Roadway from u direct con-
tact with the common people, and has
been unconquerable, vigorous, irresist-
ible as long as their spirit freely rose
and guided its councils, DIRECTED its
leaders, inspired it's laws aud policies.
The people have been the mother earth
from which the Antaeus of party
strength has derived that strength and
vigor. No matter how firmly knit they
have been, how glorious the records OF
past deeds, how splendid and domin-
ant the party presence may loom, all
these can but delay the downfall of the
political party which has severed its
connection with the great, common
people, and no longer serves them, but
some private or special interest. --El-

An alliance with tho British would
simply be surrender OF American
liberty for which the patriots OF l770
fought the bloody battles OF the revo'
luton. There has been steadily an cf'
fort to instil toryism into the minds Of
our people and progress has been
made which today threatens the very
foundation OF our government. 1t Is
to 10 regretted that some good reform
ers are inclined to look with certain
degree of favor on tho scheme and are
leaning favorably toward an English
American alliance. The proposition Ia
an un-American, plutocratic plan, to
destroy the republic and no reformer

THE BANK FETCH.
PROPOSALS OF EMINENT FINAN-
GERS THAT ARE LUNACY.
Issuing Currency ID not ono OF the Loglt-
mate Functions of Banks This, Acc
oording to High Authority, Belongs
to tho Government Alone,

"Matthew Marshall" who has for
years been the Leading financial writer
on tho New York Sun, comes out bold
ly once in awhile for what is known as
green back doctrine" The following
Ia from recent article written by Mr..
Marshall:
The committee on banking aud cur
rency of tho house Of representatives
has reported favorably bill, the OBJ
feet Of which is, as they declare, "the
elimination Of government paper mon
ey from circulation" and "thc issue oil
a banking currency, based purely upon
assets without either bonds or reserve
notes." which they have the audacity
to assert twill involve no risk OF un-
due initiation or OF loss TO the note
holder"
The Same ianatical faith In the eff
cacy of banks TO remedy every hnan'
cial evil, which resembles more the
reverence OF the savage for his fetch
than the correctional Of rationa men,
was shown in the senate in the debate
upon bill to incorporate tho 1nterna-
tlonnl American bank, an institution
designed to facilitate and increase the
commerce OF this country with the
countries Of South America. AT pres
emit our imports from that quarter OF
tho globe amount in value to about
6l1O, OOO,0 900 yearly, whereas our ex'
ports thither amount TO only about
S35, 900, 900. Consequently, in order to
pay to our South American creditors
tho difference due them OF SIS, 900, 900
yearly, our merchants are obliged 10
buy from tho European creditors OF
those same debtors claims to that
amount, In the shape Of drafts arising
out of the sale OF European merchan-
disc. We send to Europe agricultural
prod ucts, Europe sends to South Amer
ica manufactured goods, and we take
our pay from Europe, in tho coffee, In
din rubber, hides and metals which VIC
import from South America.
Evidently so long ms we do not sell
directly TO South America enough oil
our own products to pay for tho pro
ducts we buy, we must, OF necessity,
draw upon our credits In Europe. Some
of our senators, however, fancy that
by establishing great bank, under
charter from congress, we shall In
some mysterious way change the pres
emit condition Of things. Senator Frye
remarked: "Wc paid Great Britain last
year for exchange alone on what little
miserable business we do with South
| America over S9,0CO,oOo. Why should
this greas nation do that? Why moi
have our own bank? Why, indeed, ex
cent that "our own bank" cannot Gre

from Europe. So long as we bny from
South America $4,000, 900 moro II
merchandise than we sell to 1t, nc
bank here can furnish the drafts need

fetichism to suppose that bank chi
