THAT CENTRAL BANK.

The readers of the Commoner are
warned again to be on the lookout
for the central bank. While it seems
impossible that the financiers should
expect to get central bank bill
through the house of representatives,
still the men who control our H.
nances are at work and they are too
shrewd to work as hard as they are
now working without having some
prospect of success. The democratic
party should be united in opposing
the central bank. We do not need
it, and we cannot afford to build up
such a gigantic money trust in our
midst. 1t is hard enough to con-
troll the financiers when there is
some little competition between
them-it will be a hopeless task
when the finances of the government
are turned over to them.
We do not need-we must not
have-asset currency. What we
need most is security for depositors
and until we have compulsory guar
antee all national banks should be
given their choice between joining
q system under which all the banks
guarantee each banks depositors
against loss, or to give individual
security-each bank making it's de-
positors absolutely secure. A banker
ought to be ashamed to do business
under conditions such as we have
now which will allow him to make
a big profit in good times and yet
compel his depositors to take great
risks in hard times.
Insofar as there are any needs of
an elastic currency it can be secured
in two ways. First: By allowing any
one Individual or bank) holding a
government bond to borrow its face
value Cor near that at any time by
allowing the interest to be suspend
ed and secured, then the govern
ment can loan greenbacks to the
banks or to a group of banks as an
emergency currency at any interest
which would secure it's return when
the emergency is passed and on
terms which would compel the loan
ing of money at reasonable rate.
If congress will look at the subject
from the standpoint of the people,
instead of viewing it from the stand
point of Wall street, it will not find
it difficult to devise remedies for all
our financial diseases. The trouble
is that the financiers are interested
not in protecting the public, but in
exploiting it, and the Aldrich meas
ure, like all other Wall street meas
ures, is simply new kind of grand
larceny.
If, instead of depositing govern
ment money in favorite banks, the
treasurer was compelled to loan the
money, on security prescribed by
law, to the banks offering the high
est rate of interest Gas is done in
several states) the money would go
where it is most needed. That would
give some elasticity to the currency,
but it would not please Wall street.

THE REIGN OF DEMOCRACY.

To say that men depend less upon
God and more upon themselves as
the race grows in knowledge and
experience is not saying that they
are less religious than their fathers.
Indeed. it might be argued that they
are more so-that they work in con-
scious partnership with him in trans
forming the raw material of the
earth into the finished product of
civilization.
Formerly, in their ignorance and
superstition, men believed that the
good Lord sent war, drought and
pestilence to punish them on whom
he looked with disfavor, while show
ering the blessings of peace, of time
ly rain and rich harvests on those
who were good in his sight.
Now we know that war is gener-
ally the product of human greed and
we are trying to develop race too
just and too brave to fight. Can
anyone believe that that is less re-
ligious tnan blind reference of every
thing to Providence? So we dig
bitches instead of praying for rain,
and fertilize the soil instead of
holding God responsible for poor
crops. The engineer and the scien-
tific farmer are our ministers of the
gospel.
Just as we have learned that God
depends upon men to cooperate
with nature in tho light of the high
est knowledge and intelligence, so
now we are beginning to ,learnythat
mans duty is not to the individual,
but to the race, and that mans de-
pendence for progress, for justice,
is not upon the few who are rich
and great, but upon the man who,
in the aggregate, constitute the
power of civilization.
This is the religion of democracy
the new vision that sees the pow
er of God in the power of the
masses and that sees righteousness
in social justice. Who can hesitate
to believe that men draw nearer to
the Most High precisely as their
laws and customs "do it unto the
least of these, my brethren?"

after reading the arguments of
President Taft and other advocates
of Canadian reciprocity the farmer
must come to the conclusion that the
tariff is a fake, in so far as the farm
or is concerned" declares the Mt.
Vernon Record. "And in this con-
clusion he will not be very far
wrong. This is not because the
theory of protection is not a good
theory, but because it has always
been just as it is now. The manu-
facturers are organized and get
what they. want, while the farmer
gets what they want him to get. And
that isn't much Of the profits, z

EACTS AND FIGURES FROM PAN
ANA.

Our esteemed contemporary, The
Canal Record, published at Ancon,
Isthmus of Panama, is to be con
Kratulated upon it's issue OF May 81
1911, which contains much matter
of interest to every denlzen OF the
American continent from Cape Nome
to Terre del Fuego.
We note for the benefit OF sucn
seaports as New York, Buenos Ayres,
New Orleans, Rio Janeiro, Boston
and San Francisco that the Canal
Zone will soon have the largest
steamboat docks in the New World.
When the 800-odd-foot liners weary
of the inadequate docking faculties
of the North River, they can take
their way to the Isthmus and lie at
1.1OO-foot docks Of the most MOD.
ern construction, at Chrlstooai
Point, Colon. The five docks will
take ten ships of the 1,0O0-toot
class or over, or twenty of the boats
now in the Isthmian trade.
The reasons for abandoning the
plans for a high-level bridge over
the canal point also to the rapid
progress of modern naval architec-
ture. The tentative plans calling for
= clearance height Of ITS feet; but
requirements have changed, and the
wireless installations Of the largest
ships now require PIP feet for safe
clearance. Notwithstanding the
passing of sails, the tall ship" is
still with u.s., taller than ever. A
ferry and a railroad spur will meet
the needs for which the bridge was
planned.
The thrifty Yankee-provided he
still exists-will, however; be still
more deeply interested in the report
of the special committee appointed
by Chief Engineer Goethals to ap-
praise the property turned over to
the government by the French for
the sum of $40,O00,000. 1t is the
Judgment of these gentlemen that
We secured a bargain.
From the text of the report 1t
would appear that the procedure OF
the committee had been conserva-
tive. The value of that portion OF
the French excavation which we
have made use of was arrived at on
the basis of the cost per yard of our
work prior to June 80, 1909, with

sanitation. The Panama railroad
stock is appraised at the price the
government has had to pay for
shares privately owned, and the
lands are valued on like basis. For
road-making and clearing land,
100000 was allowed; the $4,000
coo representing in the original ap-
praisement the value of maps,
drawings and records is approved;
buildings are to be put in at ST.
S79,2O3 and material and equip
ment at $2,112,O63.
The grand total is $42, 799,S26,
present value of the physical prop
erty, without counting in the most
valuable asset of all-the franchise
''good will" This is an undoubted
bargain, if the estimates be correct.
OF course, it is not to be compared
with the negotiations that landed the
Louisiana Purchase, California or
Alaska, but it shows that Uncle
Sans instinct for a trade has not
wholly deserted him.-St Louis Re-

Our Washington Letter.

(By Clyde II. Tavenner, special
Washington correspondent to The
Reporter.)
Washington, June 25.-Why has
government been unable to control
the trusts?
While this question has not as
yet been definitely answered, the
house investigating committees are
bringing out testimony which tends
to throw light on the subject at
least to the end of showing that the
great trusts of the country have at
some time or another had most of
the government prosecutors on their
payrolls.
United States Attorney General
Wickersham heads the list. Under
oath he admitted that the last thing
he did before taking charge of the
prosecuting machinery Of the nation
was to draw down his share of a
$4,000 fee from the sugar trust
as a member of the New York law
firm of Strong & Cadwallader.
Henry P. Taft, brother Of the
President, Is still a member of this
firm, whose specially is to show the
sugar trust and other great indus
trial corporations how to evade the
law and escape prosecution.
That Frank B. Kellogg, special
counsel to the United States and
widely advertised by the republicans
as the great trust buster, has re-
ceived thousands of dollars from the
government at the same time that
he was receiving big fees for acting
as attorney for subsidiary concerns
of the steel trust, was developed in
testimony before the Stanley COM
mittee.
1t appears that Mr. Kellogg, be-
sides pocketing the $4,000 recently
PAID him by the government for serv-
ing as trust buster" under Roose-
welt, also received from the steel
trust $4,000 as extra compensa-
ton for legal services rendered their
corporations.
On October 20, 1907, Mr.. Kellogg
was proven by his own testimony
and documentary evidence in pos
session Of the committee TO have re-
ceived a second $4,000 for extra
services. -.
I; These sums were received by him
in addition to the regular salary re-
ceived by his firm from the trusts
for many years past, and the last
payment was made in the midst of
,. the panic and only two or three days
before the famous conference of
Gray and H. c. Flick (ruling spirits
of the steel trust) with President
Roosevelt, whereby they gained the
permission of the president to COM
nit criminal violation of the laws of
the United States by absorbing the
Tennessee Coal, Iron C Railway Co.,
, thereby discriminating their principal
competitor.
This situation becomes still more
remarkable when it is recalled that
! the man who appointed Kellogg
, Philander c. Knox, now secretary of
state-was the man who went from
the employ of the steel trust to the
office of attorney general and who
refused in 1901 to prosecute the steel
trust when convincing evidence of its
! violations of law were laid before
him by the antitrust league.
