NICHOLAS, GEAR OF ALL RUSSIA.
PLANS A GIGANTIC MONEY TRUST
State Is the Richest Europe Although People Are the Poorest
Nation Owns the Railroads and Te|egraphs and One
Sixth of All the Land-Russian State Bank Has
Very Large Bank Reserve.

The Russian State bank has now .
bigger gold reserve than that of the
Banque de France: and a much bigger
reserve than the reserve of the Bank
OF England and the German Reichs-
bank put together. In April, 1913.
her gold reserve was $75O.000, 900:
whereas the French figure was $685.
100000. the German $193. 100000 and
the English $151. 100000. The gold
reserves Of other state banks have
stood still or gone back of late; the
Russian reserve alone has rapidly in
creased. Eight years ago a stir was
made when Premier Kokovtseff, then
finance minister. allowed a newspa-
per man to see his glittering hoard Of
$400.000,000. That such a big sum
existed skeptics had refused to be-
heve. Today this sum is nearly
doubled. This gold reserve has the
junction Of backing Russia's issue Of
credit notes. But the reserve is sum-
cient for 81 per cent more notes than
have been issued against 1t. Witte de-
clares that II there is a great war Rus
STA VIII have recourse to forced ex-
change; and thus will be able to use
at least two-thirds of the gold hoard.
Russia aims at getting as much as
possible Of the national substance into
state hands. What cannot be &C.
quired In this way is to be controlled.
The St Petersburg stock exchanUe
has of late been put entirely under the
government thumb. The germ of this
policy dates from the days of Finance
Minister Vyschnegradsk and his sue
cessor, Witte, who said: This view
is Endorsed by Premier Kokovtseff.

register the orders Of finance minis
ters. This IL effected through the
government representatives who ii,
ways attend congresses. Formerly
the representatives had the duty OF
watching and reporting. Now they
aspire to lead the congresses. They
decide what IL to be and what is not
to be said. and they practically dictate
all price agreements. The law gives
the government representatives no
power to do this. But the ironmasters
depend for three-fourths of their Gus
tom upon state railroad and state ship
building orders and they are helpless
to resist. NJ Zakrewski says that
state control has already gone 80 far
that the state might as well purchase
the ironworks outright

policy is being pursued. Land il q

BUYS DUKES RARE VOLUMES7

According to a London cablegram
Henry Edwards Huntington, an Amer
lean millionaire. has purchased the
great library Of the duke of Devon
shire. The library contains many rare
volumes. and 1t is said the purchase
price exceeds 100000.
The Chatsworth library. consisting
Of the Claxtons and Kemble collection
Of plays. are part Of the collection.
The British museum was anxious to
obtain the rare editions. but was
obliged to retire from the contest ow-
ing to the lack Of funds. according to
the report.
Included In the purchase, are %
Claxtons, a score of Shakespeare
lowe, Green. and other Elizabethians.
Quartos. plays by Ben Jonson. Mar.
The collection was sold by Kemble to
the sixth duke of Devonshire for So.

chem. director Of the department Of
agriculture, breaches this doctrine. Al
the law does not countenance 1t. he
goes behind the law. This was recent
ly done In regard to two ScheremetiefI
properties In Moscow and Voronexh
provinces. The properties are worth
100000. The owner proposed to
sell them to a land Spectator named
Yelkin. Yelkin has a two-year-old
dispute with the state In regard to
taxation Of his present estates. The
government lost the case and the re-
suit is a loss of some millions Of
rubles from taxes of other estates.
Krivoschein came to the conclusion
that Yelkin must not be allowed to
buy more land. He therefore got
Nicholas II to issue q private prohibi-
ton to Scheremetieff against selling
his estates and the prohibition.
though not lawful. had to be obeyed.
Krivoschein declares that the 20
litical hegemony of the state depends
upon the concentration of land by in
dividuals. In the end, he says. the
Russian state will claim final control
over all land. The land and the profits
from it will be left in private hands.
but the disposal Of 1t by sale will be
subject to the control of the state.
only the state is-~fit to handle the
vast accumulations Of capital and the
vastly increased land values which
are the fruits of modern economic de-
velopment."
II this theory is carried out the Rus
sian state will have In its hands either
as absolute owner or a. controller
everything worth having. It already
owns outright $4,000 miles of state
railroads: all telegraphs; the vodka
monopoly; and lands which cover .
sixth of the area Of the empire. and
are bigger than any single European
state. The stock exchange. the iron
and sugar industries, and. finally, the
privately owned lands are already un-
der government control. This process
is bound to 60 further.
Duma Member VolkoR, who a. Q
cadet" is a strong opponent Of gov
eminent policy. says that the new
money autocracy will be bad for pri-
vate individuals. A state which, in
stead of unchallenged political power.
has unchallenged money power, will
be able to disregard popular wishes
In a way impossible In the past The
control of q country by money power.
Of which much il now being heard in
regard to South America. will soon be
In Russia an accomplished fact by
its unparalleled accumulations Of
wealth and its unlimited power to hurt
or help individual interests. the Rus
sian state has far stronger weapon
than even its 100000 soldiers and it,
system Of police espionage"
The time il near, says Volkoff, when
Russians will be slaves of the money
power Of the state. Our people have
always been slaves. But whereas for
merly under Plehve and Sipyasine
they were slaves Of the ministry Of
the interior they are in future destined
to be slaves Of the ministry Of finance.
The former slavery was the more OBJ
vious, but the latter II the more sub
tie and insidious. In the end servi-
tude to q state money trust 10 likely
to prove the hardest servitude of all"

That women have for so long held
