The New Currency System.
George A. Neeley. congressman
from the Seventh district, told of the
new currency bill and the fight of the
congressional committee against the
so-called money trust" Neeley said
in part:
I'VE began at the bottom by inves-
tigating the money trust, and found
that three men in New York were the
absolute masters of the nations
financial and industrial life. That
these three men, through a system of
rectorships in 1874 corporations, with
total resources in excess Of $25,3OO,-
100000, sum more than nine times
bigger than the combined wealth of
the great state of Kansas, and consti-
tuting more than one-fifth of the to-
tai wealth of the federal union itself
I'VE found that these men domi-
mated the New York clearing house,
| with average daily clearances OF
$305. 100000; that the average daily
out-of-town clearances Of this asso-
citation were approximately $55, 5,OOO,-
900. and that on this amount the as
sociation had levied q collection
charge sufficient to produce a daily
revenue of $78,50O. or more than
| $23, 100000 annually. every dollar OF
which was filched from the commerce
of the country in direct violation OF
! law. and that their influence extended
| into the remote corners of the coun-
try.
I'VE found that these same men
dominated the New York stock ex-
change, and that they sought to fix
the initial price Of every stock. OF

a program which was gotten up to
celebrate the grand opening Of the
new salesrooms of Holmes & Thomp-

is now located just south of the Grand.
theatre on Fifth Avenue. At the time,
it was built, it was one of the Show

the water is wet and that as sure as it:
Is wet, 1t will soak up the road II it is,
allowed to stand? If road overseers.
know that water runs down hill, they
surely have the roads high in the cen
ter. Do the road overseers ever think
what damage it is to roads to take the
subsoil and clay for top dressing on
roads? This is used only where eleva-
tor grades are used.
Now, any one can be a good road
overseer if he will use a little common
sense. And public highways can never
be built properly until the matter of
proper drainage Is taken care of. We
often hear the expression I'VE had
good roads when We had the prairie
road" There is reason for that. We
had only the black loan soil then and
where after a road is graded the clay
is picked up two feet under the surface
and used for top dressing is it any
wonder that we have such slippery,
sticky grades after rains? It is about
time the road overseers got busy and
did their duty that they have sworn
to do. Yours truly,
