The Administration rlonopoIy's Tool.

Attorney General Griggs has decided
that the concession granted by Spain to
the Western Union Telegraph Company
of exclusive rights to lay cables to Cuba,
though an admitted monopoly, cannot be
voided by the United States during the
forty years for which it was originally
granted. 1t is property; vested right.
What is the use of Congress passing
antitrust laws with such an Attorney
General i'll the Cabinet. And what sense
is there i'll the Mckinley papers declaim-
ing against trusts when the President has
such iIan to decide in their favor The
United States can sink Spain's navies,
beat her armies, capture and keep all of
her ocean territory worth having, but
can't restore a franchise of which the
people of Cuba have been robbed, be-
cause it is claimed by one of the big
monopolies of the United States. This
trust administration of Mr.. Mckinley is
absolutely sickening Was ever such a
monstrous decision heard of till the mo-
nopolies took possession of the Republi-
can party? Suppose Cuba declares the
grant void when she sets up business for
herself?

r. G. Dun & Co. report last week
"The boot and shoe trade is active, and
recently advanced prices are more readily
obtained. The factories are we'll supplied
with ORDERS and most of them have
enough business under contract to keep
their capacity employed for three months
to come"
This condition of prosperity" applies
only to the big factories allied with the
leather trust. If a factory can purchase
a car load of leather the stock can be
obtained at a mnch lower price than it
can if a smaller quantity is bought The
leather trust no doubt is in with the large
shoe factories to crowd out of business all
the small establishments which are in
country towns.
The same is true ofevery business. The
large cities war OH and prey upon the
country. The railroads give them reduced
freights. The combinations of capital
form manufacturing trusts which they
locate i'll the cities and the large owners
of real estate hold large amounts of stock
in the railroads and trusts, using their
influence TO raise their rents by employ
ing all means in their power TO increase
the population Of the cities which insures
an increase of rent for real estate. This
constant economic war waged by capital
OH the country is empoverishing the
country and congesting the cities with
wealth and population. There is one
remedy and only one remedy for this
consuming economic evil, which is gov
eminent ownership of natural monopolies,
pointed out years ago by Professor Ely,
for which he and other political econo
mists have been bounded by the mil
lionaire class from the colleges and uni
versities where they dared to teach the
truth. and their chairs filled by syco-
plants who are on sale to the highest
bidders.

The evidence that is coming out expos

especially in the Standard Oil and sugar
monopolies, is causing the people to ask,

anyhow? There is not all honest, indus
trious man or woman i'll the land whose
pockets are not Systematically picked by
capital combinations, favored and assist
ed by the laws and by the officers of the
present administration. Attorney-General
Griggs deliberately gives his opinion that
the grant of special privilege to land
ocean cables on the island of Cuba for &c
years cannot be annulled by the United
States, as it is 'vested right" and that
the United States has no power to con.
troll the trusts and protect the people from
their ravages..

Elastic Currency.

On this point the Bankers Magazine
for June has this to say:
"The individual check against a bank
account is today the principal currency of
the United States. 1t has in itself the
most important constituents of safe and
elastic currency. The check is rendered
safe because of the criminal penalties i'm
posed OIL any one who draws check and
makes payment Herewith when he has
no corresponding credit in bank. 1t is
elastic, because as soon as the transaction
for which the check is drawn is completed,
the check is redeemed and destroyed.
Just the moment it ceases to be wanted as
medium of payment it is irresistibly
attracted to the bank of its redemption.
This kind of sophistry is in common
use by the banking fraternity to keep the
common public in the dark. Elasticity
in currency means sufficient amount of
money in circulation or come -at-able
when it is needed by the trading-the
buying and selling-public, which is
mnch more at certain times than at
others, and the withdrawal from circu-
lation when the large amount is not re-
quired for use The use of checks does
not add one penny to the currency in
existence, the check being nothing but
an order by one person given to another
to demand money from bank where it
is deposited. The check locks up the
money and prevents it from circulating
while it remains out and cannot possibly
supply any more circulation than the
amount it represents and locks up.
Everybody can readily see the fallacy of
the argument that check increases the
elasticity of, .and supplies the necessity
for more money to increase prices and
develop industry.
While the check is convenience to the
individual who makes it i'll place of car
rying his money about his person or
keeping it at his place of business, the
only feature of elasticity it represents is i'll
the interest OF the bankers The bank
holds the money the check represents as
deposit and loans it by the machinery
of credit" That is, the bank OH the
strength of the deposit which the check
represents gives borrower credit on its
ledger in exchange for said borrower
note with ample security and secures
interest on the money the check repre-
sents. The bank is the only party really
benefited by the check which enables it
to collect tax off of the business COM
munity i'll the form of interest on its
credit loans.
