FROM MICHIGAN.

February 20, 1908,
Dear Sir: In your argument against the
AldTlch Bill you state, as one reason for
being against National Banks, that the Ma
tional Currency Act sumenders to six thou
sand banks the power Of creating money and
with it the credit of the nation, without Civ
ing eigbty-five millions of citizens any share
therein.
This as a patriotic protest against these
banks ought at once to put them out Of bust
ness, but why banks more than other things,
by and through special privileges, of which
this monetary system is the base backed by
an unholy alliance Of interests to fleece the
people in the name of law, which they enact
laws only to break them, and if one happens
to get In their way, have the highest court in
the land declare it unconstitutional. On the
other hand the same court, or parts of it, de-
cldes any law passed by state to control. in
degree, the rapacity of railroads which were
created, built, and paid for in the first in
since by the people, to be 'coniscatory.''
There is hardly doubt but that the higher
court, unless they become alarmed, will con-
firm these decisions.
One Of the greatest crimes of the century
was the herding, by United States troops.
of what was left of the Indians in the great
West, upon the poorest lands on the CONTINENT
to get them out of the way Of the ''Cattle
Baron who as part Of the Interests, in fact
the beginning Of the Coalition, took possession
of the public domain, where, with no invest
ment, no taxes, no restraint, protected by the
regular army, they could grow cattle, sheep
aud horses on the old buffalo ranges cheaper
than we farmers, amenable to law paying
our taxes, can grow Belgian hares. and ex-
cept for the wonderful fertility of our soil
would have ruined IS per cent of the farmers
# the country.
As it Is we pay arbitrary prices to take
our stock TO market, sell them in yards con-
trolIed by ''thc INTERESTS and cannot get a
bid until their buyers, after lelsurely break
last, come into the yards and set the price.
So it is with your cotton, with Kentucky's
tobacco, the wheat of the northwest, the corn

you print your publications

road.
Figures prepared by the Trunk Line
association for IL principal lines in-the
official classification territory show
that the total freight earnings for
these companies in 1907 were s541, 1885,
712, an increase over 1906 of 1912 per
cent Nevertheless the total payment
for loss and damage by these lines in
1907 was. 1886. 794, fully per cent. OF
the total freight earnings and an in.
crease over 1906 of 22.4 per cent.
1t is estimated that about IS per
cent. of Loss and damage claims are
due to "lossessin transit" which means
that in 1907 the losses on this score OF
the lines mentioned were about So
100000. OF this amount, probably over
s1,250,000, was caused by the improper
marking of the less-than-carload
shipments. It is the design of the
railroads now to stop losses from this
cause.
