country is passing, is one Of those object les
sons which is thrust upon long-suffering peo-
pie, who persist in tolerating financial sys-
tenn which has long since grown obsolete. The
campaigns of 1896 and 1900 established the
gold standard, and when this was accom-
plished we were assured by the fnanciers that
we would now have smooth sailing, and that
clouds would no more darken the financial
horizon. "Alas, poor Yorick,' scarcely
dozen years have passed, and the country is
again conVulsed with one Of the worst panics
in its history. Like Banquo's ghost, the ques-
tion comes up again and again, and will not
down at our bidding. The last panic coming
at time of universal prosperity, when record
crops had been harvested, when no wars or IN
vasions we're threatened, had SO little cause
for it's appearance that men everywhere are IN
quiring about the causes that could produce
such a cataclysm in time of such general
and undated prosperity.
Manufacturers and business men who have
made and disposed Of such vast volume OF
goods in the last few years that figures are
overwhelming, are showing an unusual inter-
est in this question Of finance, and OF per1odl-
cal and ever-recurring panics.
In times of prosperity, they furnish the
banker with the sinews of war; and when the
panic comes their mills are closed. Natural
~ they have grievance, and they want to
see some method adopted by which they can
be safely guarded from such calamities in the
future
The Aldrich bill has now been discussed IN
Congress about two months. Some very emil
nent fnancers consider it a good measure;
others equally as prominent consider 1t
makeshift while others say an emergency cur
rency is not necessary Now, ''who shall de-
eide when doctors disagreed" If financial ex-
perts who have made finance a lifelong study
evolve such dramatically opposite bills like
those of Aldrich and Fowler, how is the Lay
man to come to an adequate understanding OF
the subject? There is but one way-let US
appeal "to the law and to the testimony
and see upon what foundation our present
system of finance rests. In the first place,
the power to issue money is, according to the
constitution, purely a governmental function,
and should not be relegated to private lndlv1d-
uals. National banks, which under certain re-
strictions are nevertheless private institutions,
run like any other business for profit, and the
circulating medium which the people are COM
PEELED to use should not be subject to the
manipulation Of any private concern, no mat
fer how meritorious or we'll established such
an institution may be- They possess a dan
gerous power Of Withdrawing loans or con-

terest are payable in gold. 1t is doubtful
whether there is one gold dollar back Of
thousand or even $40 900 worth Of these secu-
rites This is system of finance to make
the Populist green with envy, for in all his
dreams Of fat money he would never have
evolved a system like this. By maintaining
high protective tariff and making the duties
payable in gold we have at the present time
largely increased our gold reserve, but the
spirit Of unrest is abroad. The shoe manu-
facturers Of New England want the tariff
taken from the hides and the newspapers
want free pulp The people are demanding
that all manufactured goods that are sold
cheaper abroad than at home shall have the
duty taken from them. The opponents Of
Standard Oil want free petroleum, SO as to
break up the Oil Trust When all these reduc-
tons have been made there will be a decided
shrinkage in the gold coming in as tariff du-
ties. The gold reserve will grow less and as
it's proportions begin to shrink the banker
gets cautious. He strengthens his reserves
and calls In his loans. We begin to hear
something about lack of confidence in bust
ness and in banking circles. The gold reserve
continues to go down, finally it reaches the
danger point, the government issues bonds and
hurries them to Wall street. They buy them
at discount and the country is saved With
these facts a matter of recent history is it
not time that we have basis for our currency
that is more stable, that will not be augmented
or diminished when the Bank of England
raises Or lowers it's discount, and that is not
disturbed by the fluctuations of tariff or the
uncertainties of mining? A currency issued
by the general government in proportion to it's
wealth and based upon its multiplied and in
exhaustible resources, would solve all our
financial difficulties. Such a currency could
only depreciate when the nation was disrupt
ed or destroyed.
The apotheosis of gold is largely responsible
for all the misery and the degradation that we
see today. The masses Of England and Ger
many where gold standard has been longer in
operation are ground down into the lowest
depths Of poverty. What it has done for them
it is beginning to do for us, for gradually the
prosperous middle class are disappearing and
the extremes Of great poverty and great wealth
are becoming more and more apparent.
The gold standard tends to make money
scarce, and to take it out of the hands Of the
people. I mean real money. We don t handle
money when we have silver certificates or ma
tional bank notes in our possession. Gold is
the only real money under our present sys-
tenn; the others are merely promises to pay
real money. Outside of the banks, how many

Atoka okla, March 24-To what ex-
tent may government inspector in
the Indian service have access to and
make inquiry into records Of former
Indian Territory that have become the
property of the several counties on
that side Of the state and are now in
the hands of the county judges?
The determination OF this question
may result from a majority that the
state supreme court may be called
upon TO consider In any event, until
that matter has been determined there
probably will arise many instances OF
conflicting opinions between the gov
rnmeni inspectors and county judges
party of inspectors recently made
a demand upon County Judge Line
baugh here for access TO the records
that have been transferred from the
United States court to the county

to make thorough Investigation OF
the records Judge Linebaugh offered
