! Wis The advocates of asset cur.
rency, or credit currency, are
Iinm again chirping merrily in the
daily newspapers. Congressman
Charles N. Fowler, Of New
Jersey, and Mr.. Henry w. Pea
e \ body, Of Massachusetts,, have
SEQ been writing letters and inter
S views urging "the friends Of
~ national banks and sound cur
rency and the gold standard" ia
repeal the restrictions imposed
1t by the act the act of Congress
a OF 1852, upon the sudden retire
= ment of bank notes for specul.
! alive purposes. The Act of 1882
4 was passed to protect the coun-
try against the arbitrary and I'M
expected contraction and sub
sequent expansion of currency
by banks Of issue which had
resulted in disaster to the whole
country. In 1881, an aggregate
retirement Of S1S,c 00,0 600 of bank
currency had caused panic; and
the act was passed to take away
from the banks this panic-power.
The debates in Congress at that
time show that even the Re
publicans had learned to dread
the exercise of such a power by
the INSCRIPTIONS fnanciers of
those days. But now, it is
proposed to restore this panic
power by enabling banks to issue
asset currency with no security
and TO substitute the eats and
dogs of Wall Street as security
for deposits, and use the Govern
ment bonds which the law has
heretofore required as security
for dedosits, as q means Of
obtaining additional notes for
circulation; thus enabling the
Wall Street gamblers to expand
and contract the currency at
viii, and to make contraction a
subterfuge for employing the
National Treasury into their
own Golfers.

the same old tamlllar scheme.
The postal authorities are al
work all the time trying to pre-.
vent the use of the United States
mails bythose whoplan to cheat
They close the mails to fraud
after fraud, but the people con
tinue to yield to the blandish
ments Of those who promise
something for nothing.
Sometimes it appears that al
one needs to do is to insert an
advertisement in several papers
promising a great bargain in
bankrupt iewelry or anything
else and then sit down quietly
and wait for the letters to come
in. No references are required.
There needs to be no assurance
of the reliability of the advertis-
.er. No inquiry is made Of those
in a position to find out the facts.
The money pours in from all
parts Of the country until. as in
q recent case, the P1stfaaH Is
compelled to push the letters in
to the mail box with a stick in
order to get them all in. Then
the advertiser changes his adj,
dress and the hopeful investor
waits in vain for his promised
bargain.

making his collectinns, and find
fault with him for the small
profit he hopes to make on his
business in order that he may
live and contribute his part to
the welfare of the community in
which he makes his home.
The most surprising thing
about it all is the readiness with
which people place confidence in
those whom they have never
seen, Of whose reliability they
know nothing, and whose only
claim to such confidence is the
.glittering offer of a well worded.
advertisement. The money
pours into the pockets Of swind
lers all the time because of this
peculiar characteristic Of man
kind.
This readiness to trust those
who have absolutely no claim
whatever to popular confidence
stands in sharp contrast with
the haste with which, on the
slightest grounds, many people
distrust the solid men of the
community who control the fin
ancial situation. These persons
as a rule are reputable members
of society. They hold response
BILE positions because they have
earned them through merit.
They have their homes in the
community. Their character is
known. If things go wrong
they may be called to account.
AS neighbors and friends they
are far more likely to have the
interests of their fellows at
heart. All these things count
for nothing at times. Confidence
is withheld and business is dis
turbed. But all the time the
steady flow Of letters pours into
the boxof the fraud, whose main
purpose in life is to make him
self rich at the expense Of gull
lible humanity.
Human nature cannot be
changed, but the contrast be-
tween the granting Of confidence
where it is not rightfully placed
and the withholding of it from
those justly entitled to it is SO
often apparent as to recall the
suggestive comment Of al writer
of a humorous history of the

and seventeen individuals connected
with the twenty-six corporations which

The petition relates that all of the
defendants are engaged In interstate

ing the act of July 2, 1890, known as
the Sherman antitrust act. II seeks
TO prevent and restrain the unlawful

such trade and commerce.; to prevent
and restrain the attempts upon the
part OF the defendants to monopolize
such trade and commerce, and to dis

The court is asked to determine
whether public interest will be better

o bringing about conditions in trade
ma commerce that will be harmonious
