WHARTON BARKER EXPLAINS OBJ
JEcT or scHIFF's PLEA.
Bankers Pander to Wall Street and
Want a Currency That Will Permit
Them to Aid the Spectators in
Every Emergency.

Wharton Barker was interviewed in
Philadelphia by reporter for the
North American on Banker Schiff' S
plea for a more elastic currency.
''Schiff has sounded false alarm, =
said Mr.. Barker, and the other bank
ers, men like Gage, who can COM
many the country's attention, have
taken their cue from him and joined
in the hue and cry he has raised.
"These men are shrewd. They are
crying Wolf not because there is
any wolf, but because, to serve their
own purposes, they deem 1t wise to
frighten the people.
Bankers never speak aloud when
panic impends; they never cry it
from the housetops when they deem
their market for loans and credits
threatened, and loans and credits are
the first things that suffer when a
panic actually occurs.

Money Moving Crops

banks in New York must pay.
"In paying. these debtor banks,
which support the speculative mar
ket, find themselves without the cash
the gamblers of Wall street require.

Issued to Privileged Glasses

"All our money is now issued by
the government No other authority
should ever have the power to issue
sues money only to two privileged
classes.
Money is issued now by the gov
ernment to those who dig into the
bowels of the earth, extract gold and
take their gold to the mints; or to
those who buy gold and take it to the
mints. This class represents those
to whom money Is issued by reason
of accidents of discovery or purchase.
'The other class to which money
is issued is composed of those who
organize banks under the national
bank laws, buy United States bonds,
and deposit such bonds with the gov
ernment. The money Of the people
is, therefore, issued only to two re-
stricted, highly privileged classes.

! 1t is here that the Schiffs and Cages
and all the other champions of the
bank currency with which the peo
pie now are saddled will raise the cry
of fiat money, paper currency, and
greenback currency. They fear the
! invasion Of the privilege which they
now enjoy; the privilege of having
issued TO them virtually all the money
the government now issues.
"To meet this cry, what do we

million shares or $50 per cent greater
| resources.
Then again, as stated above. in the
old Stereotyped companies the 100000
shares of treasury stock are nvaria-
bly, sold so as to enhance the value of
the promoters 600, 900 shares of stock.
In the case of our 'NO-PROMOTION
STOCK company, however every
share of stock which remains unsold
is the property of the stockholders and
not of a promoter. No matter what
price it goes to on the market, this
stock in the treasury is a valuable as
set, which will continue constantly to
increase in value as the mine is opened
Up.
To illustrate the tremendous ad
vantages of this plan allow us to
cite to you the Jumbo Mining Company
Of Goldfied. This company in its early
stages sold treasury stock at 10 cents
share. About 100000 shares were
sold ct this price, thus providing about
$22, 500 for preliminary development
work The remaining treasury stock,
about 250,000 shares, was retained in
the treasury and is still there TODAY.
From the results of early develop
ment, and royalties paid by leasers,
the Jumbo property stock was
forced to above $l.5O per share.
In other words, ZoO,uUu Sf1ARES
OF UNSOLD STOCK NOW HELD
IN THE TREASURY OF THIS
COMPANY REPRESENT "A VALU-
ALTON OF 1915, 900. If this same 25D
600 shares, now worth $375,OOO, had
been sold at Is cents a share before
the mine was opened up it would have
brought the measly sum of $37,5OO. In
other words, 1887, 500 less than it is
now worth.
CIT of he n "
exactly applies to the condition of the
Greater Manhattan Consolidated Min
ing company which today has sold
has in it's treasury. as the absolute
property of its shareholders nearly
400, 900 shares of stock. These 100000
shares unsold treasury stock are worth
at the lowest estimate $30,O00 and this
is an asset to which must be added
the tremendously increased value of
