At first the loan was made on the prom
ise of repayment Soon the transfer sys-
tenn became so much more convenient and
desirable, as a circulating medium, that
no one wished for repayment. All prefer
red to hold the claims against the govern
ment. Consequently III 1923 all promise
of reimbursement was abolished.
After 1923 whenever a citizen gave his
gold in exchange for government credit,
he could never demand the gold again.
No coin was kept as specie basis of
credit No Gold Reserve" maniac had
then been discovered and worshipped as
a statesman.
The bank lived 400 years after it ceased
to promise to return gold for gold. It
lived on the strength of the government,
and on the demand for cheaper and
more convenient way of making settle
ments than with gold and silver coins.
The credit money of the Bank of Venice
was not only as good as gold, all over
the republic and throughout the terri
tory its commerce invaded, but it COM
manded a premium of 20 per cent over
gold.

$I6,OOo,o 900.
The population of Venice proper was
100000, but she ruled over an extent of
territory both land and sea, which was
equal to nearly one-half of what the Ro-
man Empire had been in it's best days
At the time Napoleon conquered Ven
ice its merchants were the richest in the
world, and the government bank was a
vital part of their magnificent commercial
system.
In 1923, the government abolished the
interest, as we have said It thus saved
to the taxpayers four per cent interest
for 400 years. On each million ducats
this little saving amounted to $685.
OOO,OOO,OOo.
The merchants could we'll afford to
have the interest abolished because the
government credit was really a money
they could put out at interest to private
parties, and as long as their wealth was
represented by a government credit it
could only be lost when the government
perished By getting the government
bank to hold his cash the citizen insured
it against all risks SO far as human pru-
denCe could do it, and saved it from taxa

After 1923, the Bank of Venice issued
it's credits without any promise of re-

used among the merchants, was practi-
cally "irredeemable paper money" Yet it

CONTEMPT OF COURT
Mayor Tom Johnson Refuses
to Produce Books.

Cleveland, Nov. 11.-Mayor John
son refused to produce the books OF
the Pay-Enter Fare Box company
when requested to do so in the re.
Ownership hearing of the Municipal
Traction company before Special Mas
ter Bedford of the federal court. Fol-
lowing the refusal of the mayor to
produce the desired books attorneys
for the Central Trust company of
New York, which is pressing the re-
Ownership proceedings, threatened to
have the mayor cited for contempt
Attorney Cannon, representing the
trust company, declared it was neces'
sary to see the books of the Pay-Enter
company in order to find out just
where the latter company stood in
relation to the Municipal Traction
company.
In the hearing Mayor Johnson ad.
mitted that he and President Du Pont
of the Traction company owned all
the stock in the Pay-Enter Fare Box
company. The Municipal Traction
company had met all the expenses of
the fare box experiments, he said,
and would have stood the loss if the
fare box company had been failure,
but if it proved a success Johnson
and Du Pont were to get the profits,
not the Municipal company.

New York, Nov. 11.-Enormous buy.
Ing of stocks of the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific railroads excited
the stock market and pulled the gen.
eral range of prices upward two
points or more from a depression
into which it had been forced by
heavy sales to take profits. Southern
Pacific advanced points, to 11s1A.
Union Pacific went up 3A points, to
1875. Rumors of an intention to in
crease the dividend of the Southern
Pacific to per cent at the next meet.
ing of the directors were circulated
There were also reports that the
Southern Pacific contemplated an
issue of $100,0OO,0O0 in bonds to re-
tire it's per cent preferred stock.
After Southern Pacific had touched
1875 the weight of the sales to
realize sent prices downward again.
A reaction of about point in the
active stocks resulted. The market
steadied again before the closing and
a more even tone resulted.

Stettin, Germany, Nov. 1.-THE

DR.. David Jayne Hill, the American

signed for action in the Pacific. The
Japanese press had been in an uproar
over this declaration, Great Britain
had been stirred to greater naval
preparations and Germany's relations
had become worse with we'll nigh all
the principal powers, but especially
with France, Russia, Great Britain
and Japan. There ought to be an end
to imperial personal policies and inter-
ference with the responsibilities of
the chancellor, such as had been man.
Tested recently in the Tower-Hill and
the Tweedmouth affairs. Practically
the entire German people were of one
mind concerning the ruinous effects
of direct imperial interference in the
foreign affairs of the empire. Loyal
monarchists could only regret that
damage had been done the monarchial
principle, especially at a time when
a strong republican party had grown
up.
Herr Bassermann was followed by
Herr Wiener, Radical, who said in
part:
1--WE regretted greatly the incident
over the appointment of David Jayne
Hill to the post of the American am.
bassador to Berlin, tending as it did
to disturb the good relations between
the United States and Germany. It
was we'll said on the other side of the
ocean that our representatives
abroad shall not be check books, but
men,"
Herr Singer, Socialist, declared that
Germany had sunk low in foreign
opinion through the incapacity and
levity of persons in responsible places.
In the constitutional system of Ger
many the king was the first servant
of the state, he declared, and if an.
other servant of the state had done
such thing as Emperor William he
would be brought before an imperial
court for trial. The speaker ex-
planned that he referred to the trial
for treason of Professor Geffken for
publishing the diary of Frederick III.
Herr Singers speech was greeted by
Socialist applause.
Replying to the critics Of the gov
Won Buelow calmly and briefly ex-
planned the circumstances preceding
the publication of the Telegraph inter-
view. He declared he had decided to
remain as chancellor, but he could
not say for how long.

BERRYHlLL, ON CoNGREsSMEN.

The St. Paul Review, of which
Berryhill is the versatile helmsman,
has this to say of the recent con-
tests for congressman, in Mime
sofa:
We learn a valuable lesson in
two congressional fights.
"McCleary retires and retires for
good, and it is but a short time be.
fore Tawney reaches his finish in
the first district. He is now on
probation, and every movement
must be accounted for to his con.
stituents. His first plain duty is
to reconstruct his machine. 1t
creaks and groans badly, and his
opponents in the republican ranks
insist that he mend his ways. He
dispenses his favors with no regard
whatever to the welfare of the west.
ern and of his district and it is
plain that his appointees there are
out of touch with local sentiment.
At any rate he is between the devil
and the deep sea, and does the best
he can under the circumstances.
1t would be a calamity to trade
Stevenson for Sageng, or some one
like him, yet it is possible that will be
shortly done in the Ninth.
The others are safely republican,
but the time has arrived when a con-
gresham who attends to the wants
of his district and gets jobs for the
boys is the candidate running ahead
of bis ticket.
Really the official who has the
most places at his disposal is the
best favored of all, though his
troubles develop with surprising
rapidity when a candidate for re-elec-
ton. The student of politics can
not get far astray on that PROPOSE
ton.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE opening Of
the debate in the reichstag on En-:

lished in the London Daily Telegraph
found the chamber fuller than it has
ever been before on the occasion OF
an important political event. All the
ministers, excepting Foreign Secre-

royal, diplomatic and public galleries
were crowded and there was not a
vacant seat on the members benches.
The interpretations regarding this
interview, which has been character.
lied as highly indiscreet, were taken
up at once. Herr Rassermann, Ma
t1onal Liberal, opened the debate. He
expressed a hearty desire for the con.
tinuance of friendly relations with
foreign countries and said he be-
neved that very small proportion of
the German people was unfriendly to
Great Britain. The personal elements
in foreign politics were dangerous,
he declared, and the higher man

Fatal Duel the Outcome Of Bitter
Criticism by Carmack Of Certain
Democratic Leaders.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. LINES.
cages from various sections testify to
the tremendous sensation caused
throughout the state and the South by
the killing of former Senator Edward
w. Carmack by young Robin Cooper
In street duel here. Carmack's bril-
liant career as United States SEN
atOr from Tennessee had made him
one of the best known of national fig.
ures. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper,
father of Robin Cooper and who was
with his son when the duel occurred,
has an extensive acquaintance and a
legion Of friends both in his own and
other states.
The fatal clash occurred in the
street and was a elimination of a
series of editorials that have appeared
In the Tennesseean, a daily paper
that has been published by Carmack
since his retirement from official life.
The articles were caustic criticism of
the policies of Democratic leaders
and in some of them direct references
were made to Colonel Cooper.
Mr.. Carmack had left his Office and
was going to his apartments and Colo
mel Cooper and his son were coming
down the avenue. AS they came to-
gether several shots rang out in
rapid succession and Senator Car
mack whirled around and seemed to
try to catch an electric light pole,
but, missing this, fell in a heap in
the. gutter just at the edge of the
granite sidewalk.
Carmack Died instantly.
He fell on his right side and was
lying with one hand raised to his face.
His revolver fell to the street by his
side and was picked up and turned
over to the police. Mr.. Carmack was
in all probability dead when he fell,
as three bullets had been fired into
his body. Colonel Cooper, it is un-
derstood, drew his pistol, but did not
fire.
After the shooting the Coopers re-
paired to the nearby office of physi-
clan, where young Cooper's wound,
which is slight. was dressed and he
and his father were placed under ar
rest. The wounded man, under
charge of an officer, was taken to a.
hospital and spent quiet night.
In the doctors Office Colonel Cooper
turned over his revolver, none of the
chambers of which had been emptied,
to Sergeant Reid. Robin Cooper
turned his revolver over to Patrol
man Vaughan and one empty shell
dropped out of the magazine when it
was unbreeched. 1t was an automatic
magazine revolver and 1t was not
known how many shots had been
fred, but it was thought that an ex.
animation would show three. Two
chambers of the revolver of Senator
Carmack we're empty
In Columbia, the boyhood home Of
the former senator, the news shocked

Business there will be suspended I'm.

gated by the political forces DOM
