"In a short time we will have every
theatrical agency in New York under

otherwise / intend to compel those WHO
have not already done so to take out
licenses. These agencies have sheltered
Cne of the worst and most systematic
swindles upon n poor helpless class
of people that l have ever known. 1t
is this system of wholesale robbery of
sctors, actresses and chorus girls by
these ShyloCks that | have set out tn

commissioner, Frederick l.. G. Ncating,
describes the crusade he has begun.
1t is the first time in the history OF
the city that any attempt has been
made to regulate these agencies. which,
according to Commissioner keating,

Before the state assumed the quinine monopoly
this most necessary medicine for italy was made
a quarry by INSCRIPTIONS and criminal spectators,
who combined to maintain abnormally high price,
and besides adulterated the drug to such an extent
that consumers got scarcely onetenth OF what they
paid for Az a consequence the mortality from ma
iaria amounted TO over $4,000 per year. After the
quinine monopoly was created by the state there
was falling of Of nearly 5000 in the space OF
twelvemonth Last year the mortality was reduced
to 1892 less than so per cent OF the mortality pre-
vailing when quinine was "trusted" for the benefit
of spectators instead OF for the benefit Of the people,
The state sells the drug in sealed glass tubes at
cost, and sells it everywhere not only drug stores,
but tobacco stores, being obliged by law to keep 1t
on sale. The law compels city, town and village
authorities to distribute quinine free among the poor
and to these wholesale customers the state sells the
quinine even below cost The many large land own

protest was made against the schemers who took

Among the many questions that are frequently dis
cussed by the people of the United States, the ques
ton of WHERE is THE CASH." is very impor-
tant one and it is interesting to note the opinions
of writer's and speakers when dealing with the
money question.
According to the Secretary of the United States
Treasury, there is approximately nearly $32 per
capita of money (cash) that has been issued and
is in the hands of the people of the United States.

their position stronger than ever, they demand
