leges that the enormous de-
posts Of country banks in New
York are not used solely for the
promotion of agriculture, in
dustry and commerce, but are
invested, TO the extent of hun

cedes responsibility for this con
dition to the system and not TO
the local bankers, because when
money piles up in New York,
they have no other channel for
its investment. The evil eff
tects Of this present unavoidable
procedure are correctly stated
by him, when he says that the

cause of the great accumulation
of cash, stimulate the purchase

prices beyond intrinsic values,

FARWELL'S WISE WORDS


Mr.. John V. Farwell. presi-
dent of the National Citizens
League for the promotion of a
Sound Banking system, in APP
proving an inquiry into the so
called money trust, f" takes a
highly constructive and sober,
common-sense view Of the sit
uation. Indeed his clear, and
sane observations are particular
~ gratifying TO Financial Amer
lea, because, like Mr.. Farwell,
we have striyen honestly for
years to promote sound banking
and currency principles and es-
tabish scientific financial
methods and practices in this
country. Since he is the chief
executive of a great popular
educational movement, instl-
tuted 20 enlighten and instruct
the people in our banking and
currency problem, his sensible
and pertinent remarks give US
renewed confidence in that Or
ganization and its propaganda
and convince US that the bust
ness mans opinion on our none
tary difficulties and their solution
is not only valuable TO that end.
but, indeed, the one essential
prerequisite 10 definite achiev-
ment.
No student of the banking
situation can doubt the accuracy
of his assertion that there is a
concentration Of money and
credit in a relatively few banks
in this country under the pre-
vailing system. Nor his addi-
tional statement that this con-
dition is bound to become inten-
sihed the longer a reform in the
system is postponed. We have
discussed this feature heretofore
on several occasions. calling par
ticular attention, in relation to
this money trust" bugaboo,
to the gigantic gold hoard in our
Treasury. which is absolutely
useless TO US in times Of emery
ency as a foundation or reserve
for the necessary credit accom-
mediation demanded by business
at such times. This 'concen-
tration" Of useless gold is a
major defect in our system. just
as is the concentration Of the
country's reserve money Of
which Mr.. Farwell speaks in a
few banks. principally in the
city.

| COSTLY RUNAWAY
TEAM THAT DRAWS PIERZ STAGE
TEARS DOWN BROADWAY DE-
MOLISHING SLED

The team that hauls the Pierz stage
ran away Thursday morning and
caused the total demolishment OF a
sled and pair Of harness.
The team was left standing in front
of the foundry on the West side while
the driver, c. Tembreull, went inside
for a few minutes. They started to
walk away but when Tembreull came
out and yelled for them to stop they
charged ahead and turning the corner
OF Second street and Broadway south
west they ran on to the sidewalk in
front Of the Wilczek meat shop up
til one Of them slipped and fell. The
rig was tipped over and the seats and
other detachable things in the sled
were spilled out.
The horse which had fallen recover
ed itself before anyone could get
there to hold them and the mad race
was again resumed down Broadway
until they came to the corner of First
street and Broadway west where one
horse took one side Of post and one
another striking a telephone post
with the whiffle tree and breaking the
sled and harness into numerous pieces.
One of the horses was caught as it was
about to cross the bridge and the 9th
er one was caught on the east side Of
the river.
The horses were apparently unin-
iured but the rig was damaged be-
vond repairs.

D. NJ. Cameron gave talk in behalf
of the business men in which he emu

the sisters, who with no desire for
pecuniary reward, devote their lives to
so noble a work, over some Of the boys

said, twas day on which it should be
the ambition Of all persons to aid some
less fortunate persons than them
selves.' Contenment is necessary for
true ambition, that is not the ambition
for the acquiring Of great wealth, but
that which has for it's object the Civ

Mr.. Cameron had prepared a short
heart to heart talk to give to the chill
dren but the presence Of large num-
ber of visitors from the city made it
necessary that he change his talk.
The children then sang "Merry,
Merry Christmas Bells,'' after which
each child was presented with large
sack full Of good things such as apples,
candles, oranges and popcorn balls.
