BLAMES BANK CREDITS
FOR HIGH LIVING COST
Must Get Back to Real Money Basis,
Pastor Says.

Inflated values brought about by our
present bank credit money system was
cited by the Rev. T. Cushing Daniel, pas
tor OF Peoples Church, 622 Sixth street
northwest. in his sermon yesterday
morning on Tho Cause Of the High Cost
of Living as the reason for the present
prohibitive prices of the necessities OF
Ufs.
H'This present high cost of living Is due
primarily to the fact that under the bank
money system now In vogue charge OF
"a, $4,000 a year must be collected on the
se6. 900 900 which has been created mere
on the per cent interest basis OF diVl-
dends," he said, ''and It Is this amount
which is daily added to the price or our
foodstuffs.
Initiating Of the currency system Of
the United States has also been affected
by the lending of about 100000 Of bank
credit as allowed by the Federal reserve
act
Prank A. vanderlip, president of the
National City Bank. of New York City,
has truly said that about 80 worth OF
bank credit has been loaned on every
dollar Of gold that has come into the
United States since the outbreak OF the
European war.
This all tends to inhate prices and
bring about what we term the high cost
of living There Is only one remedy.
Our money system should be placed
under government control and banks
prohibited from loaning any more bank
credits as a substitute for real money.
In this way would be established the
debt paying system in place Of the pres
ent debt making one.
IF the government would loan the
money and receive its interest we would
then get back on a real money basis.
and the present artificial development
brought by the use Of nonexistant money
called bank credits be obliterated-"

las LAW GRIPS PARSON
| HIS feet FAIL him
All Ready to Wed When Police Stop
Ceremony.

Rev. Henry Carter. q colored parson,
alias Aimes, alias half dozen other
names, according to the police, is again
in the tolls of the law.
He was brought to Washington yester-
day from Norfolk on a stretcher in charge
of Detective Sergt. Cornwell. and u held
at the Washington Asylum Hospital,
charged with breaking his parole.
In january. 1876 the parson was ar
rested by the local police. charged with
eighteen cases of false pretenses. Inn
mediately following his arrest he was
taken i'll and for weeks was regarded as
helpless. Later he was tried and pa
rolled in the custody of q friend.
1t seems that some months ago he sud-
denly recovered his health and ned the
city. When located by the police of Nor
folk, Carter, 1t is alleged, was on the
point of becoming happy bridegroom.
but had, 1t is alleged. incidently heeceo
the intended bride out of sl2S before she
discovered that her clerical friend had
a wife living in Norfolk.
Send Him Back Here.
When the discovery was made Carter
was brought before Justice John M Ar
mold at Norfolk, but because he is want
ed worse here Detective Cornwell was
sent after him.
According to Cornwell when the case
of the negro was called In the Norfolk
Police Court Saturday morning Carter
was apparently very Ill. He had to be
brought from the Norfolk city jail to the
hall of justice in a chair. but Justice
Arnold decided that Carter was equal
to the trip to Washington and turned
him over to Sergt Cornwell
Physicians at Norfolk stated that there
is apparently nothing wrong with the
preacher. but he differs with them and
refuses to walk. Therefore. he was car
ried on a stretcher from the wagon
aboard the boat at Norfolk and from
the boat to the wagon on arrival here.

And unity of action and purpose

on this unity of action. for their

are even more sensitive to passing
