Of loan on their lands, no matter how
valuable they are. They could do this
in our state banks, and do it in this bank
if it is ever chartered, and thereby es-
cape the terrible tax they must pay
their merchants for handling their crops
or for some assistance in raising them.
To my understanding this is cruel
discrimination against all producers In
the national banking laws, and this is
the first effort of congress to relieve
them. 1t is perfectly safe to all the
world, and I gladly give my support to
the principle, that the real estate of the
producer, miner and manufacturer, ac-
cOrding to it's value, is better secured for
the loan of money by a bank chartered
by the government and resting on the
credit of the people than the personal
obligation of the merchant who handled
what the former has produced. This
discrimination is public wrong, in
tended to benefit the national banks and
their customers, the trading classes who
handle money at the expense of the pro-
ducers, who, through great labor fur
nish the entire body of the material
that constitutes commerce. These ad-
vantages of the national banks should
in some way be controlled, and as the
state banks seem to be abandoned by our
party I can see no better way to hold the
national banks in check than to create
another form of banking institution, un-
der the control of the government, in
which producers can get assistance on
safe security to raise the crops and send
them to market.

We Should Be Independent of England In External Finance


national banks are as nearly one ma
chine as it is possible to create by law;
and am afraid to place the entire con-
troll of our finances in the charge of the
ruling bank in that great moneyed
oligarchy. I want some competitor to
keep their power in check. Having des-
paired of the removal of federal repres-
sion from the state banks, l look to this
financial institution as the next best
plan that is possible for those who live
by creating the products of the earth.
This bank is forbidden to issue bills to
circulate as money. and cannot there
fore, increase or diminish the volume Of
money, and must always incline strong
ly to specie in the payment of it's COM
mercial paper.
Being International with agencies in
other countries, and stockholders in va
rious American states, and branches
in our states, it will draw money from
other countries and will interest their
people in our commerce, and at the same
time our people with theirs.
The rates of interest that can be
charged on loans or discounts must con-
form to the laws Of the states of this
union in which the bank or branch bank
is located. This is distinctly provided in
the eighth subdivision of section Z of
the bill, and the state courts are given
full jurisdiction of all suits by or against
the corporation in section 80 Of the act.
The corporation and it's branches are
required to keep on hand at all times in
lawful money of the United States a sum
equal to 25 per cent. of the aggregate Of

York to China and Japan via suez vary
from % shillings 6 pence to % shillings
pence C$5.46 to $6.6S) per ton of 40 cubic
feet, against As shillings to so shillings
($1O93 to $12.15) charged by steamship
owners from London and Liverpool to
the same destination. Thus it is ap-
parent that British steamship compa-
nies give preferential rates to Ameri-
can shippers. The English are noted for
their acute judgment in matters of busi-
nesss. If English shipowners think it
worth their while for business reasons
to offer cheaper freight rates to Ameri-
can than to English shippers, it is not
to be supposed that they cherish greater
love for their American cousins than for
their English brethren. It Is because
they consider it good business policy.
Such being the case. it seems strange
that you enterprising Americans should
so far have made no serious attempt to
secure at least share of the profits aris-
ing from carrying your own goods.
If line of American steamers should
ply regularly between China and the At
lantic seaports of the United States
there is scarcely any room for doubt
that a large shipping business will be
done, as greater facilities will be af-
forded to exporters of goods manufact-
ured in the eastern states.
With the expansion of commerce, as
all parts of the earth will become more
and more accessible by steamer or rail-
road new markets will be opened for
American manufacturers. Business con-
nections will be established wherever
goods find their way. Intercourse and
trade will make peoples and nations
grow more and more friendly to one an
other, and take a common interest in the
welfare Of the world, thus contributing
an important factor toward the preser-
walton of universal peace

WILLIAM LINDSAY, UNITED

Guilty of determining the extent of Con-
gressional authority. and of locating
the boundary line that separates the in
herent jurisdiction of the state from the
delegated authority of the general gov
ernment.
1t is to be regretted that the con-
sideration of this far-reaching question
is approached with passion and preju-
dice by many of those who complain of
existing conditions and with cold
blooded and almost brutal indifference
by many of those who enjoy the ad-
vantages and reap the benefits of cor
porate organizations. How far combi-
nations of capital diminish the cost of
production and transportation: to what
extent, and in what direction. they af-
feet the wages or diminish or increase
the demands of labor: whether their
benefits to the farmer and planter are
equal to the injuries they inflct. are
economic questions that ought to be

Investigated. They cannot be intelli-
gently discussed or fairly or justly
solved. until their true relation shall he
understood. Radical reforms attempted
to be introduced while ignorance and
passion are in the ascendancy, will breed
other mischiefs and probably relieve
none of the evils of the situation.
AS we advance in civilization new and
difficult social problems arise. AS we
improve material cOnveniences, and
change the methods of production and
transportation new and difficult econo-
mic problems present themselves. Steam

I will only state this important matter
in order to draw to it reflection and ex-
animation, without now attempting to
discuss it further than to say that the
bulk of our eXchenge when balances are
to be paid either way between us and
the islands south Of us are cashed in
England.
The creation and fostering of lines Of
direct communication and trade with
those states can be greatly assisted by
this proposed financial agency.
On June II, 1898, when this bill passed
the senate. Dewey had virtually des-
troyed the power of Spain in the Phil
ippines and I was expecting like re-
suit in Cuba and Porto Rico and want
ed some financial agency through which
the commercial exchanges between us
and those countries would be under
American control.
The results that have followed the war
with Spain, as they are now fixed by
the treaty of peace. more than ever de-
mand that we shall establish American
control of all financial movements in
these islands as far as is possible. I
consider this the most essential feature
of the question of good and permanent
government in those countries.
To accomplish anything in the direc-
tion have indicated we must either rely
on our thirty-eight hundred national
banks or upon some chartered inter-
national bank. 1t is time that we We're
Independent of England, at least in our
external financial business.
The more than thirty-eight hundred
Daily inter mountain., 1900-12-15

- LIVERPOOL and London, through
the financial power of the Bank
H. of England, have for more than
two centuries furnished the capi-
tai that is essential to carry out export
crops and productions after they are
shipped, until they can reach their ulit-
mate destination-the consumers.
In cotton especially the sum so re-
quired has been equal to more than
nine- -tenths of the entire value of our
crop, until a very recent period, and now
it is equal to three-fifths of that value.
1t is easy to understand that under these
circumstances some measure is necessa-
ry to meet and remedy the condition. I
know of no measure better suited to the
needs than the bill passed by the last
senate, ito carry into effect the recom-
mendations of the International Ameri-
can Congress by the corporation of an
Americon Bank Unfortunately, the
house did not find time to read it.
The leading purpose of this measure
is to draw capital from American states
that will enable us and them to handle
the vast interchangeable productions of
which commerce consists without going
to the great money centres across the
Atlantic for the capital to hold them
until they are manufactured and the
consumers could buy them.
If we could have had such a bank in
the early days of our political independ-
ence, instead of having our productions
priced in Liverpool or London, we would
now have complete commercial inde-
pendence of those great money centres.

not only the perpetuty of the Federal

the elder Adams led to the adoption of
the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions
OF 1889 and opened the eyes of the
American people to the fact that the
opinion was then entertained by some
of the greatest statesmen that the union
of the states was in the nature of a
compact, and that the violation of any
of the terms of that compact by the gen.

The population of Barre has in
creased more rapidly than that OF
any other place in the state. The
numerical gain there during the
decade is 1902, or more than 100
per cent. Lyndonville village is a
close second in the percentage of gain,
while Burlington stands second in the
numerical gain.
Most of the incorporated places
show a gain in population, although
Brattleboro, EHosburg Falls, Ran
dolpb, Swanton and Vergennes are
exceptions. This indicates, as there
has been reason TO believe was the
case, that many, and perhaps a
majority of the smaller towns in the
state have fallen off in population
during the last ten years. OF the
counties, Washington shows the

The census Office issued a bulletin
Saturday giving the population OF
Vermont, 343,64l, which shows an
increase OF 1928 during the past
decade, or 3.3 per cent. While this is
moi large gain for a state, il is a
good showing for Vermont when
compared with the small gain it made
in 1890 and 1850.
In 1890 the population increased
less than one-.enth of one per cent or
l36 people, and in 1850 the increase
was only one-half of one per cent or

state has increased in Ito years little
more than four fold.
