ALDRICH BILL. I

The following letter was addressed
through The Commoner to the Secre
tary of the Treasury Shaw by the
Hon. W. J. Bryan. It Is worth read-
log: ■ . I
You are quoted as having expressed
yourself In favor of the Aldrich bill or
of some measure of like charater. The
object of the bill Is to enable the gov
erument to deposit in the national
banks a much larger sum than It has
been In the habit of depqsltlng. It
has been eafcittMrted that according to
the provisionsolf the Aldrich bill some
thing like three hundred millions of
government money could be deposited
with various national banks. Notr
withstanding the fact that Lhe Re
publican national platform of 1B88
condemned the loaning of the govern
ment’s money “without Interest to
pet banks,” you- have loaned more
money to pet banks without Interest
than any former secretary of the
treasury, and the purpose of the Aid-
rich bill Is to still further increase
these loans. — . .
There are certain objections to the
Aldrich bill, and you ought to be pre
pared to meet them before you urge
such a measure upon congress. In the
n first place the loaning of government
- money to the bJfhks Is'an act of favor
itism. The sreretkry of the treasury
has to select the hanks. Whether he
selects Justly or unjustly Is a question
which the public cannot pass upon,
because it has not the facts before it.
It Is a fact that one of the New York
dty banks urged its claim toauisidera-
tlon on the ground that Its directors
rendered valuable assistance to the
Republican party In the proceeding
campaign. The power of the govern
ment to thus reward political friends
and to withhold deposits from puliti-
- cal opponents is a tremendous power
In the hands of an administration that
Is disposed'to use it for personal off
party advantage. What has happened
slnoe 1888 to take to loaning of gov
ernment money to pet banks less
reprehensible than it was then?
Second—The loaning of government
money to the bangs makes the govern
ment dependent upon the batiks. If
It loans a large sum (as it is
now) It is hardly at liberty to with
draw the money, for the withdrawal
of a considerable sum would disturb
business and threaten a panic. If tt?e
government goes into the business pf
loaning money to the baoksltwlll be
difficult to withdraw deposits, and
what Is therefore regarded as au emer
gency deposit is very apt 19 grow into
a permanent deposit.
‘ Third—By loaning the government’s
surplus to the national banks these
powerful Institutions are given a
pecuniary interest in the maintenance
of high taxes and in the collection of
large revenues, for the more money
hbe government collects the more It
has to deposit. It is ^evident that
every banker who has a laige govern
ment deposit Is permanently Interest
ed in preventing any reduction of
taxation, however oneroujLthe burden
- may become to the people. €an we
afford to array so potent an interest
against a reduction of taxation?
It not difficult enough now for the
taxpayer to secure a iiearlng? Willtt
not be more difficult when the nationa
banks protit largely by heavy taxa
tlon? Can the people afford to use
their own monej to hire the Nationa
banks to work against them.
Fourth—The Aldrich bill provides
for the payment of interest at the rate
of li per cent. Some opposition has
been expressed to this provision, and
until the measure is tinally enact
ed It Is impossible to know that com
pensation, if any, will he fixed. But
whether the money is loaned at U per
cent or Is loaned without Interest, it
Is evident that the banks receiving
the money can make a large profit by
loaning it. If, for instance, S300,
000,000 is loaded to the banks at-14
per cent the amount paid to .the gov
ernment would be four millions and a
half. If this money is loaned out at
3 per cent, the banks’ profits is four
millions and a half. If it is loaned at
4} per cent the banks make a profit
"oTTD.OOO.OOO; if it is loaned at
cent the profit is 113,500,000.
The banks that receive the benefit
of these deposits can well afford to
contribute to the campaign fund of
the party that continues them. At
the lowest rate suggested above the
ii due to the collection of
more taxes than the gevernment
needs. Why not reduce taxation?
That would be a protection agalnat
rny futute surplus. The surplus now
on hand can be used buying up the
-fgo veto men Fe obligations. The- pur
chase of government obligation would
not only stop Interest,' but would re
lieve the government of the embarras-
ment which it flnde In having on hand
so large a sum of money. But the
surplus on hand would not bother the
government so much but for the fact
that there is a scarcity of money In
the country. Whenever we attempt
to increase the quantity of real money
we are toid that we do not need any
more money. As soon as this argu
ment Is forgotten the banks betfih
clamoring for an opportunity to use
the government surplus and alleging
as an excuse that the money is needed
in the channels of trade. It is possi
ble to have enough money to do busi
ness with and thus enable the govern
ment to keep in the treasury what
ever money it has on band. This Is
not only possible, but it is desirable,
for it avoids the various questions
which arise In connection with the
loaning of government ipQoey.. Then,
too, if the money Is locked up In^ the
treasury the people who need more
money will be Interested both In in
creasing the volume of inoney and
also in reduclog taxatlon. --Where the
money is held in the treasury power
ful iuterests are brought to the sup
port of the people in their demand for
a sufficient volume of money and for
an economical goverment, whereas
these same ‘interests are arrayed
against the people when. unneccessary
taxes can be collected and the unnec-
sary surplus loaned out ta. the finan
ciers. The Republican policy is to
take from the people money that
ought to remain In the people’s pockets
and then loan the money tQ the banks
on the ground that the people need it
Tlie Democratic policy is, flhtt, to
have a sufficient volume of money to
do business with; secood^to collect
only so much as is needed for the ^co
nomical administration of the govern
ment, and, third, to keep the govern
ment money in the government vaults
and avoid the evils that follow the
oaning of government funds. By the
way, are you not now doing without
legal authority what the Aldrich bill
is Intended to authorize?

BATTLE WITH PIRATES.
Filipino Constables Herman and

A dispatch from Manila says In
spector Herman and Supply Officer
Johnson of the Philippine oonstabu-
doingflary, who embezzled the funds of the
Mindanao government and started
out to be pirates, were attacked one
night last week by six Fillpinotf, the
crew of a native boat which pirates
had taken forcible possession of. An
encounter took place off the west
coast of the Island of Negros. John
son was^llled immediately. Herman
was stabbed in the neck and a native
deserter named Fuentes was also
stabbed. Herman fought ferociously
and killed four of the attacking party
at close rauge. The struggle took
place in a row boat and two of the
parties covered with blood jumped
overboard. It is not known whether
they escaped or were drowned,
the meantime Herman bandaged his
vound and navigated the boat to the
1 hore. There be abandoned the craft
and escaped to the mountalqs at
point near a former landing place of
the pirates at Bavaun. From there
be sent his carbine to the president
by a friendly native and then disap
peared. , He was'last seen Saturday
when he was suffering severely from
his wounds. The constabulary re
covered the boat, two revolvers, and
a portion of the stolen money. They
also found Johnson’s body In a heap
of the dead saWra. The deserter
Fuentes was still alive. ' Johnson was
buried. It is expected that Herman
will be captured soon.

on the front trucks of the engine was
found immediately after the accident,
and In the opinion of the railroad offi

trouble. This fact was testified to by
the offlcials of the railroad under oath,
at'Columbia last week.
Col J. H. Averill was selected by
the South Carolina railroad commis
sion to make a thorough examination
of the- property. This report was
quite lengtbly. He described the road
and the physical condition in great
detail, naming the trestle on the line
and givieg a report As to other con
ditions.' He stated that he found the
road in very good condition, with
every Indication that it ha^ received
proper attention in the matter of
maintenance and repairs. He pointed
out that in two or more of. the struc- f
lures he had obseinted the presence of
some timbers which, iu his opinion,
called for renewal. He found that the
railroad company was making such re
newals. but that such timbers did not
make the praticular structures unsafe
and that, as a general thing, he found
all the structures mentioned In a good
state of repair and that he found none
of them unsound or unsafe.—

that the Aldrich bill lays the founda

At the lowest possible rate at which
any one will calculate the profit to the

It may be added that the Aldrich

by the bill to be sufficient to secure
