A CALCULATION.

Small things are sometimes sufficient to IL
lustrate large things. Suppose there were de-
posted with some banker one hundred dollars
in gold. He issued to the depositor certif-
Gates Of deposit to that extent. These certif-
Gates came to pass from hand to hand in set
Element Of debt, SO that only certain proper
ton Of the certificates were periodically pre-
sented for redemption. Say the banker found
that fifty dollars Of the gold was abundant to
meet the demand Of ordinarily returning GER
tifcates. Evidently the banker could issue
one hundred more Of the certificates, and still
have enough gold in his vault to meet the or
dinarily returning certificates. But it is evil
dent that the moment the banker issues one
dollar in excess Of the deposit of the original
hundred, it would be a document dependent
merely on his own credit, and not at all upon
the gold deposit Suppose, however, the
practice were countenanced, so that the hun
dred of certificates issued in excess of the orig
inal hundred came to be accepted in circula-
ton in satisfaction Of debt. It is evident
that in this case this form Of credit issued by
the banker would come to enjoy the privil-
eyes Of money. This simple illustration is suf-
fcient to show that to the extent that the

credit of person in excess Of the money
actually held on deposit in trust by that per-
son circulates and is accepted in satisfaction
of debt, to that extent is the credit Of that
person privileged as money To that extent
is the special privilege Of issuing money, Of
using his credit as money, made over to that
person. An effort may now be made to COM
pute the value of this special privilege in
particular instances.
A recent statement placed the total Of mon
ey, cash and credit, in the United States, at
twelve billions. It was said that about eight
per. cent of this consisted Of reserves. be-
lieve that considerable portion of the Gre
serves is itself credit, but let it go for the
present purpose Say in round numbers, there
are one billion dollars son deposit" actually
in the banks. Say then, credits to the extent
Of eleven billions enjoy the privilege Of cir
culating as money. The answer seems to be
that individuals are allowed under the exist
ing regime to- use their credit as money to the
extent of about eleven billion dollars Six per
cent on this amount would be $660,000,000.
If so, special privilege is granted to those
whose credit circulates as money in satisfac-
ticn of debt, of precisely that annual value
lat six per cent?. This would entail tax
Of something like eight dollars head on the
whole population of the United States.
It looks as if the banks ought to get along
fairly well.

form Of adequate approved security through
the medium Of a complete system of govern
ment banks and at nominal interest rate
sufficient only to meet the actual expense of
supplying the monetary service, one of the
most essential universal and beneficial Of all
public utilities.
We demand, as measure to supplement and
carry out the provisions Of the foregoing, that
there shall be effected corresponding gradual
reduction in the power Of private and corpo-
rate banking institutions to make loans or
discounts upon marginal cash reserve, until
eventually all such "hocus pocus" money is
practically eliminated and replaced with real
money and the nation be freed from de-
pendence upon a most expensive, treacherous
and unstable currency that not only virtually
subjects the wealth producers to confscation
of a large portion of their product, but places
it within the power Of moneyed cliques and
spectators to throw the energies and indus
tries of the nation PROSTATE at their within
or decree.
We demand that the proposed government
banks shall be organized and conducted so as
to afford absolutely safe place Of deposit
for the savings of the people, for the facili-
tation of exchange in general, and we favor
the installation of postal check currency
specially adapted to the transference of small
sums by mail
If in substantial accord or sympathy with
the above declarations, you are cordially In
vited and urged to become member of the
League and to cooperate in. the work. Send
your name and address to the secretary and

THE AMERICAN MONETARY LEAGUE
ENDORSED.


vocational work of The American Monetary
League and recommend its principles to the
consideration and investigation Of all those
seeking for the abolition Of existing monetary
evils. It's demands are thoroughly in harmony
with the fundamental teachings of Populism
and indicate the general direction that none
tary agitation and legislation should pursue in
order to secure a monetary system in accord
with logical scientific finance and fully respon-
sive to the just and equitable needs Of the
various wealth productive and distributive
forces of the nation.
Adopted unanimously at a meeting Of the
People s Party National Committee, St. Louis,
Mo-, November rs, 1907.
The American Monetary League, an organ
ization devoted to the purpose Of educating
and arousing the people in behalf of the
Monetary and Financial demands outlined in
the following Declaration of Principles:
We demand complete recognition Of the
economic and legal truth-that the issuance of
money, the regulation Of its volume and the
determining Of the material to be used are
governmental functions Of supreme Importance
to the welfare of the nation and should never
be delegated to individuals or corporations,
and we denounce and condemn the many mea-
sures in actual and proposed operation having
for their purpose the transfer Of such power
from popular to private dominion.
We demand like acceptance of the fact
that the governmental sovereignty over money
imperatively requires that every monetary in
strument, obligation and contract be subject
and subordinate to whatever regulations Or
changes the government should from time to
time determine. We hold that any clause in
a monetary instrument, obligation or contract,
calling for the payment Of a specific kind or
form Of money, is by nature null and void,
and that all monetary instruments, obligations
and contracts are justly and lawfully payable
in the legal tender money current at date of
payment, irrespective of all attempts to pri-
vately usurp or annul the governmental pre-
rogative.
We demand the speedy decentralization of
all metallic money, except such volume of sill
yer dollars and the subsidiary coinage re-
quired by convenience for actual circulation,
the gradual retirement Of all Coin Certificates,
u. S. Notes and the so-called National Bank
Currency and the issuance by the national
government of uniform full legal tender
national paper money, not specifically Or in
ferentially redeemable in any particular sub
stance or other form of money, its volume to
be regulated to meet the demands Of business
and maintain a stability Of average prices.
We demand that such money shall be issued

SHIPPERS MAY COMBINE
FREIGHT AT SMALL RATES
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Decides in Favor of
Little Dealers

WASHINGTON, July 27.-According
to a decision today by the interstate
commerce commission, shippers may
combine small parcels of freight of va
rious ownership, either by agreement
dium of a forwarding agency, and ship
the combined lot at the relatively lower
rates applicable to large shipments.
The commission decided in favor OF
the smaller shippers. upon the ground
that the ownership of the property ten
dered for shipment can not be made
test as to the applicability as to car
riers' rates The interstate commerce
law forbids discrimination between
shippers, and the fact that one shipper
tenders a "bulked shipment" made up
of property of various ownership, con-
solidated before delivery to the carrier,
will not justify the carrier in making
a different charge than for a shipment
shipper who is also the owner
The decision of the interstate COM
merce commission today that it would
consider the reasonableness of rates of
notice of increases by the shippers and
prior to their filing of protests is re-
garded as of widespread Importance.
Following closely upon the action of
Cincinnati shippers appealing to the
president to induce the commission to
take this course, it is generally be-
HeYed here that the suggestion calling
for the statement comes from President
Roosevelt Chairman Knapp said last
Saturday that the law contemplated in
vestigation of the reasonableness of
rates by the commission after they
have become effective, but he thought
the commission might decide that the
increase is effective after notice has
been given by a carrier and before the
new rate actually goes into effect. The
commissions statement today takes
that view of its powers.

HINTS TONOPAH ROAD is
WESTERN PACIFIC BRANCH
Equalization Board Questions
Manager of Nevada Line
Regarding Connections

SACRAMENTO, July 27.-While ex-
planning to the state board of equaliza-
tion today the annual report made by
the Tonopah and Tidewater railway
company, on which the board bases
its tax rate for the ensuing year, Gen
eral Manager John Ryan said the road
was built for the purpose of transport
ing the product of "Borax' Smiths
mines and to open up a. new mining
district from which 1t was expected
that considerable revenue would come.
The money panic had stopped the de-
Yelopment of the mines and the traffic
was not coming their way.
How far would your road have to be
built to connect with the Western
Pacific railway, and would such a con-
nection open up a route for the Western
Pacific into Southern California" asked
JEFF McIlyaine, one Of the members of
the board.
we would have to build about 207
miles to Ely, New, where we would
make connection with the Western Pa
cific," replied Ryan.
Wasn't the road built for this pur-
pose2" followed McIlvaine.
L don't know about that, but I will
say that If the connection was made
and the route used by the Western Pa
cifc 1t would be the salvation of the
road" answered Ryan.

PUSH DEALT BLOW
IN THIRTY-TnIRD
James Anthony and Harry Os-
good Resign From Herrin Or
ganizatiOn in Disgust

The push" in the thirty-third as
sembly district got knockout jolt
last night when James Anthony and
Harry Osgood submitted their resigna-
tions and walked out of the meeting of
the executive committee of the Herrin
club. Both men intend to enter vigor-
ously into the primary fight on the
side of the Lincoln Roosevelt league
If bombshell had dropped into the
executive committee it could not have
caused more CONSERVATION than An
thony started when he got up and
spoke as follows:
Il do not desire to affiliate with such
hoodlums as Paul F'ratessa and Jack
Butler, who named the delegates who
went to Sacramento and voted for Har-
rison Gray Otis, the enemy of organ
lied labor. Now they want to name
the delegates again. 1 resign from
this committee"
Before the other members had
caught their breath Harry Osgood fol-
lowed suit, saying:
Il do not believe in being dominated
by machine men who have the inter-
ests of Harrison Gray Otis at heart
as was proved by the delegates from
the thirty third district in the Sacra-
mento convention. 1 would like to see
this district purged of such men as
Fratessa and Butler, whose every act
has been against the workingmen of
the district and for their own personal
gain
The designations Of the two men were
accepted in gloomy silence.
Anthony is one of the best known
men in. the district. He has been a
property owner and resident there for
IA years and was three times president
of the Ingleside and Lakeview improve
ment club. He is a union bricklayer
Osgood has been In the district for
eight years and belongs to the carpen-
ters' union. Both men have hosts of
friends and many members of the ma
chine club, disgusted with it's methods,
will follow their example by resigning
and affiliating with the Lincoln Roose-

YOUNG MEN ORGANIZE
KAHN TALKS ON RECORD"
Eddie Wolfe Also Marbles
Along the Same Lines

That worthy pair, Julius Kahn and
Eddie" Wolfe, held a mutual admira
tion meeting last night and elected each
other to office by the oratorical route.
The idle and the curious on the south
side Of the park turned out to hear
them crate in Young Mems Hebrew
association hall, but they were too idle
to applaud and they went away with
their curiosity unsatisfied on anything
except my record"
MY record" was the theme of Julius;
it also was the theme of Eddie" Each
politely interpolated a remark or SO
about the others renowned achieve
ments, but purely personal glorification
did everything accomplished in the last
congress. Eddie" proved that he did
everything accomplished in the state
senate during the last II years. Their
auditors seemed highly incredulous.
Winfield Scott Williams, political SOL
der of fortune, who registers republi-
can or democrat according to expedi-
ency, started the meeting by throwing
mud at political reform. Not being able
to understand the league movement, he
ventured the guess that its leaders were
'out for the stuff" He took fling at
Spreckels and Dan Ryan and yielded to
julius Kahn.
Kahn started smiling that familiar
smile. but lost it as he catalogued his
woes. Chief among these he numbered
newspaper antagonism. OF course, he
palliated graft. He said he was sur
prised the city was not more corrupt; +;
that he hardly blamed the supervisors
for taking money. Whatever wrong
was in their acts he sagely blamed on
the papers.
One of the push" was so delighted
with Kahns line of talk that he jumped
up and tried to start an ovation. But
the crowd sat tight and refused to
ovate. Julius looked embarrassed and,
after referring for the hundredth time
to my record made way for Eddie"
Wolfe pathetically complained that
the league was making a fractional
fight" and with tears in his eyes de-
plored their unbelievable hostility to
Julius and himself. Then he launched
forth on my record" until several
yawns and numerous departures warned
him to quit.
II. Houston, chairman of the meeting,
wanted TO make speech, too, but the
crowd left in hurry. Julius and Ed
die" left the hall arm in arm, perspfring
but very unhappy.
