FRINGE ON BLACK HATS.

The large hats with a cabbage bow
situated somewhere near the back OF
the head nave been familiar for many
a day. but a pretty variation OF the
accepted style was seen on an all black
hat, where the bow was Of the usual
shape, of soft black taffeta, but the
two ends were quite long and finished
with q deep black silk fringe. 1t was
pretty and as the fringe hung over
the brim of ti.e hat, It wSs graceful.
Such a style is very appropriate 70
a woman who is nearing undetermined
mlddle age, for somehow or other the
fringe seems to add dignity TO the
otherwise extremely hippant chapeau.

Therefore, the. net result was that the

for three months, and to accept the Clear

We had to use soap-wrappers, while Wall

4 Wall Street Threat.

In talking with Mr.. Cortelyou, at the
Treasury in Washington, did my utmost
to convince him that the worst of the
Panic would come in the spring, when
Southern and Western merchants, farm
ers and local banks applied for loans. L
told the Secretary that, in my Judgment,
those Wall Street rasCals were laying
for'' the administration intending to re-
fuse to extend the customary credits, thus
creating situation which would raise
popular clamo1, en1barrass the Govern
ment and make it apparently necessary
for Congress to yield to Wall Street, as 1t
did in 1893
Those ravenous national bankers mean
to have some sort of asset currency
bill which will enable them to add other
billions of bogus dollars to the billions
which are already in circulation.
Their dream is to base watered money
on watered stocks!
Wouldn't that be happy time for these
monsters of rapacity- heartless
manufacturers of counterfeit money, art1-
fetal panic, and national calamity?
With such INSCRIPTIONS scoundrels as
Hartman, Ryan, Morgan and Belmont
pouring billions of dollars of water into
all sorts of corporation bonds and stocks,
wouldn't it be heavenly sight to see
these same chaps issuing bogus money on
the bogus securities?
That is precisely what the Aldrich bill
proposes to give those fellows the legal
right to do.
Think of Hartman, as railroad king,
watering the stocks and bonds of his rail-
roads BY the hundreds of millions Of dol
lars and then, as national banker, issu-
ing watered currency on the watered
stock!
Think of Ryan and Belmont, as street.

ing bogus money on the bogus stock!
Think of J. P. Morgan pouring forty
million dollars of water into a railroad
the Central of Georgia, fof< example
and then, as national banker, issuing cur
rency based on the fraudulent stocks and
bonds
Think of Amalgamated Copper, or Steel
Common, issued by promoters at one Of
flee and then used by the same promoters
at another office, as basis for the money
system of a great nation!
Yet that is precisely what the Aldrich
bill, now on its way through Congress,
offers to the country as the proper solu-
ton of the financial problem.
To enable us to escape from the calam-
itous conditions which gamblers, promot-
ers, stock-jugglers, and bogus money
manufacturers have brought upon us, it
is proposed that we give those greedy
and unprincipled 6nanciers additional
power to initiate the belly of the business
world with wind.
TO cure the ills caused by class-privi-
lege and bogus money, we must have an
extension of class-privilege and an in
crease of bogus money.
Why do [ say that we must have it?
Because Wall Street is determined on
it.
And never, since the Civil war began,
has Congress had the pluck, the honesty,
the patriotism to defy Wall Street
Invariably, Wall Street has got what it
wanted, and it will do so again.
Did you not hear the threat?
This time, they have been bold enough
to talk it, straight from the shoulder
Speaking through one Glover, Presi-
dent of one of the New York National
banks, they declare that if Congress
adjourns without giving them the law
they demand the situation will immediate
ly grow worse.
In other words, Wall Street will put on
the screws. Wall Street already has pref
ty nearly all of the real money Of the
Country, and New York will keep it.
Then what?
A panic in the spring that will make the
furry of 1907 sink into insignihcance.
told Mr. Cortelyou so-predicting
JUST what has happened-and urged him
to defeat the plans of those soulless
wreckers by issuing $Iooooo,ooo of ma
tional treasury notes, under the Acts OF
1862 and 3.
How would you get them into cir
culation," the Secretary inquired.
"Put them into the state banks of the
West and South" replied "Then they
will Immediately get into circulation, and
