HAVANA HARBOR'S MINES.
They Wera Manufactured for Spain
several Years Ago.

London, April "details have been
obtained by the associated press of the
manufacture of submarine mines in
London for Spain. which was first
brought to the attention of the United
States embassy and cabled to the as
sociated press on March 2. man
whose cards described him as being an
electrical engineer. and whose name
was forwarded at the time to Washing
ton. then said he sold to Spanish off,
GERS in London several years ago a
large number of mines, eight or ten of
which were placed in Havana harbor.
He said they We're made in a special
way and had a specially constructed
cable. which he can identify If the
smallest piece is produced. and he
added that some of the mines were
fixed so that they could be fired from a
fort. while two of them had bulbs so
arranged that they would explode upon
a vessel coming in contact with them
The man added, however. that he did
not believe the bulbs would be used in
water as shallow as that of Havana
harbor. Finally the man exhibited
plans of one of these mines. which he
said was the most likely to produce the
effect described as causing the wreck
of the Maine. 1t was numbered 80"
and was constructed to contain 500
pounds of guncotton.

since investigated the matter and has
made a report on the subject to the
United States government. The facts
learned strongly tend TO show that Ha-

Debt in Place of Honey.

This has always been the bane of bus
mess. The wealth producers have ever
been doomed to stagger under load OF
debt in order to transact their business.
Bankers have seized upon the money OF
the world and exact tribute for every dol
lar in use by the wealth producers. The
bankers loan them what they call credit
for which they exact immense sums as
interest. This bank credit is simply
debt fixed upon the industrial class which
they are compelled to use in lieu OF
money.
Every dollar borrowed from bank
represents a debt placed on industry
which draws interest, and that interest
charged up against production must be
paid By the consumers of the products.
The banks are the repositories of the
peoples money who are employed in
productive industry. The bank loans
three. fourths of those deposits several
times over, and collects interest on such
loans. Those loans are all credit loans,
and the: depositors are paid with each
others money which steadily flows into
the bank. Now look carefully at this
transaction. The bank is loaning the
publics' money, not once only, but sew
eral times, by what is called system of
bank credits. These credit loans are
used to carry on business, and they are
paving interest several times on every
dollar in circulation. All this interest is
tax taken out of the products of indus
try and put into the pockets of the bank
ing class and other money loaners.
This tax, known as interest, could
nearly all be saved to the producers of
wealth if the government were to estab-
lish banks to receive tie peoples money
and distribute it by the check system, as
is the present method of transacting bus
mess. The gain to the people by gov
eminent banking system instead of the
present private and corporation system is;
First, an absolute safety of depositors'
money, who have but precarious secu-
rity as banking is now done.
Secondly, almost all ofthe interest now
paid to the banking class would be
saved, only sufficient being charged to
defray the expense of the business to the
government.
Thirdly, the money loaning business by
individuals, who convert their property
into money and loan it out at high rates
of interest, would be broken up and their
idle money would have to be put into
industrial pursuits and share the risks i'll
business. The cornering of money would
be broken up, as there would be no in
ducements to hold money out of circula-
ton in order to make it scarce and
promote loaning by compelling people in
business to borrow at high rates There
being no incentive for boarding, for fear
of banks breaking or for the purpose of
loaning at high rates of interest, much
larger portion of the money in actual
existence would be kept in circulation.
By little reflection any person en-
gagged in the most Ordinary business can
readily see what an immense gain it
would be to the producing class to have
the government for banker in place of,
as at present, private corporations, who
grow rich by exacting annually hundreds
of millions from the producers of wealth.
