Paniics Prevented
By Emergency
Currency Bill.
Free Traders Took ADVANTAGE Of
Existing Republican Currency
Legislation

Senator Curtis, OF Kansas. in the
debate Of July IA, drew attention to
the fact that threatened business
panic following the enactment of the
Underwood Free Trade Tariff of DC.
tober 3, 1913, was averted by putting
IN force the Emergency Currency bill
"assed by Republican Congress in
1908. Senator Curtis said:
Mr.. President, the experience of
1907 convinced the Republicans who
were then in power. having the Pres.
icent and a majority in each branch
OF Congress, that provision should DC
made for the issuance of an emergeu.
cy currency. and they determined TO
enact a short and simple law Which
would prevent panics in the future
by providing an emergency currency

ceased.
So the Republicans in Congress
agreed upon and enacted into law
what has since been known as the
Aldrich'Vreeland Act OF May 80, 1905,
and It must be remembered that this
law was enacted over the protest OF
the then Democratic minority in Con-
gress.
There was no occasion to test this
law during the remainder OF the
time the Republicans were In control
Of the national administration Tho
first real test was had in 1913. during
the first year of President Wilson's
administration. The Democratic par,

DOG sTAMPEDEs A MOB

In the American Magazine a writer
tells how Prince Otto, a sturdy dog,
stampeded mob. The writer says:
The dog needed no second bid

body shot across the intervening
space as If propelled by giant springs
his fearsome fangs barred and the
snarl Of battle in his throat. The
mob fell back before his fierce on.
slaught, the more cowardly fighting
to escape. The brawny leader went
down at the first rush, his cheek torn
open by Otto's fangs. Tony Ram

seized him by the shoulder and shook
him as terrier shakes rat. Again
and again the fearless dog charged

ance of emergency currency and
again the Secretary Of the Treasury,
in his report Of December Z. 1914,
tells us of the condition of the coun-
try in the summer and fall of that
year in the following language:
The outbreak of the European

changes were completely disorganiz-
ed, ocean transportation was for
time partially paralyzed, the entire
business and economic structure of
this country was shaken to its foun.

itous proportions was narrowly av.
erted. A panic might easily have re.
suited, and IL It had the injury to
the country would have been meal
culable and many years would have
been required to overcome It's ef-
fects. Confidence has been restored
and specie payments have been main.
tanned in the face OF the world. There
is every reason why the country
should look to the future with con.
fldence so far as its trade, commerce,
and industry are concerned. This
has been accomplished notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Federal Re-
serve System authorized by the act
OF December 20. 1915. was at that
time only in process of formation
and was therefore unable to render
any service in the situation
So the Republican act of May 30,
1908, was again restored to in order
to relieve the situation and between
the dates of August 4. 1914, and Feb
ruary Is, 1915, inclusive, the sum of
$3.50, .O2,Gi5. was issued and by issu-
ing this amount of emergency curren-
cy, the Secretary of the Treasury
tells US:
"a country wide panic of appalling
proportions was threatened, but av-
erted. We had emerged with our
credit not only unimpaired but also
strengthened.
Now, what has the Democratic %
ministration given the country to
take the place OF the workable and
successful Aldrich-Vreeland Emergen-
cy Act OF 1908? Why, the Federa'
Reserve System, which provides for
IL Federal reserve banks in different
sections OF the country and gives en-
ployment TO 593 new Office holders.
There has been no threatened pan.
ic, no chance to test the efficiency OF
the new system, but we do know that
II has cost the Government large
sum to establish, operate. and main
tain the IL reserve banks to date.
The organization expenses amounted
to s493,960; the cost of the note Is
sue was sSO4,70 the furniture and
equipment cost $2si.600; salaries OF
officers and employees Of the FEEDER
al Reserve Board to December 81,
1916, amounted TO s10S,650; the sal
aries paid to the bank examiners /
amounted to s396,O00; and the cur
rent expenses OF the IL Federal re-
serve banks amounted to sl,677,6Sa.
So you have a total expenditure from
the date the banks opened Cor bust
