The following letter was addressed j
through The Commoner to the Score- n
tary of the Treasury Shaw by the r
Hon. W. J. Bryan. It Is worth read- 1
,n*: t
You are quoted as having expressed a
yourself in favor of the Aldrich hill or i
of some measure of like charater. The I
object of the bill is to enable the government
to deposit in ttie national
banks a much larger sum than it h;is
been in tiie habit of depositing. It
has been estimated that according to
the provisions of the Aldrlch bill something
like three hundred millions of
government money could be deposited
with various national banks. Notwithstanding.
the fact that tlie liepublican
national platform of 1?h.h
condemned the loaning of the government'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 Aidrich
bill is to still further increase
these loans.
There are certain objections to the
Aldricli bill, and you ought to be prepared
to meet tbeni belore you urge
such a measure upon congress. In the
tirst place the loaning of government
money to the banks is an act or favoritism.
The secretary of the treasury
has to select the banks. Whether lie
selects justly or unjustly is a question
which the public cannot pass upon, '
because it has not the facts before it. I

city banks urged its claim to considera- ?
tion on tlie ground that its directors n
rendered valuable assistance to the a
Republican party in the preoeedinn It
campaign. The power of the govern- ?
meut to thus reward political friends It
and to witlihold deposits from politi- b
cal opponents is a tremendous power
in the hands of an administration that
is disposed to use it for personal or
party advantage. What lias happened |.
since 1888 to take to loaning of government
money to pet banks less
reprehensible than it was then?
Second?The loaning of government
money to the banks makes the govern- s
ment dependent upon the banks. If '
it loans a large sum (as it is doing 1:
now) it is hardly at liberty to with- >
draw tlie money, for the withdrawal o
of a considerable sum would disturb n
business and threaten a panic, irthe c
government goes Into the business of h
loaning money to the banks it will be e
ditlicult to withdraw deposits, and c
what is therefore regarded as an emer- s<
gency deposit is very apt to grow into w
a permanent deposit. d
Third?Ity loaning the government's si
surplus to the national banks these a
powerful institutions are given a a
pecuniary interest in the maintenance P
of high taxes and in the collection or p
large revenues, for the more money o
tlie government collects the more it t
has to deposit. It is evident that t
every banker who lias a laige govern- w
ment deposit is permanently interest- *
ed in preventing any reduction of a
however onerous the hurden |i
may become to the people. Can we 1
alTord to array so potent an interest 11
against a reduction of taxation? Is h
it not dillicult enough now for the I1
taxpayer to secure a hearing? Will it v
not be more difficult when the national '
banks protit largely by heavy taxa- c
tion? Can the people afford to use
their own money to hire the National :i
banks to work against them. o
Fourth?The A Id rich bill provides
for the payment of interestat the rate '?
of 1* percent. Some opposition has vv
been expressed to this provision, and
until the measure is finally enacted
it is impossible to know that compensation,
if any, will be fixed. Hut
whether the money is loaned at 1} per
cent or is loaned without interest, it ,.]
is evident that the batiks receiving
the money can make a large profit by
loaning it. If, for instance, $.'100,- '
000,000 is loaned to the banks at l j
per cent the amount paid to the gov- 1)1
eminent would tie four millions and a
half. If this money is loaned out at li
.'i per cent, the banks' profits is four
milffons and a half, if it is loaned at in
4* per cent the banks make a profit
of $0,000,000; if it is loaned at 0 per f(
^ cent the protit is $l3,r>oo,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 w
the lowest rate suggested a I Hive the
banks would make four millions and a w
half. If they can make this sum each
year for four years, can they not af- m
ford to give one year's protit to insure
four years more? In it not apparent w
that the Aldrich bill lay.i the foundation
for an enormous corruption fund? pi
At the lowest possible rate at which
any one will calculate the profit to the is
banks, the national banks can afford
to contribute more to the campaign a
fund of the party that favors them a
than can he collected from all the
people by any party that opposes al
special privileges and seeks merely the Ik
equal right of all.
It may lie added that the Aldrich f,t
t>lll t? dliicc.t iomible because il nerinitv. lit
the deposits of miscellaneous assets, as '
a security for the loan of government m
money. First mortgage railroad lionds | t r
under certain conditions are declared j at
by the bill to be sufficient to secure !
the deposits of money. Heretofore the !,,N
government has protected itself by ,|,
taking Its own bonds as security for jj,
deposits. While all the other objec !
tions made to this system aie good i
against deposits, even when govern- j
ment bonds are given as security, still sn
the government is protected, but In ri
the case of the deposit of miscella-j st
neous securities the government may H
not be secure. It is apparent that the w
designation of Ixmds as suitable Fl
for security must have a powerful in- hi
tlucnce upon the stock market/ Is it C<
wise or safe that the government tl;
should thus connect itself with the pi
stock exchange/ ai
The congestion of money in the w
ireasury is due to tbe collection of A
nore taxes than the gevernment
leeds. Why not reduce taxation?
L'hat would be a protection against A '
my future surplus. The surplus now
n hand can be used buying up the
ovornment's obligations. TLe purhase
of government obl'iratlon would an
? w OA, I
ot only stop interest, but would releve
the government of the embarrasnent
which it finds in having on hand Wl
o large a sum of money, iiut the
urplus on hand would not bother the
government so much but for the fact
,hat there is a scarcity of money in
,he country. Whenever we attempt
o increase the quantity of real money '
ve are told th'i? we do not need any nu
liore money. As soon as this argu- fro
nent is forgotten the banks begin y
lamoring for an opportunity to use ^
,he government surplus and alleging j
is an excuse that the money is needed ^
n the channels of trade. It is possi- W(J
)lelo have euough money to do bust- fac
less with and thus enable the govern- jQ
nent to keep in the treasury what- for
iver money it has on hand. This is e(j
lot only possible, but it is desirable,
or it avoids the various questions . u
vhich arise in connection with the sj
oaniqg of government money. Then, ' J
Ov?, if the money is locked up in the j|t,
reasury the people who need more wa
nouey will be interested both in In- j.n(
reusing the volume of money and wll
lso in reducing taxation. Where the to
noncy is held in the treasury powerul
Interests are brought to the sup- uy
iort of the people in tiieir demand for ?

Mrs. Dorothy A. Hrickman, widow
of Kottinter Henry Hrickman, who
lost his life in the disaster at Fishing
Creek trestle, lias instituted suit
1 against the Southern Railway for
damages to the amount of $75,000.
Notice of the suit was Hied in Yorkville
Saturday. The attorneys in the
case are Leyarc and Ilolman, of Charleston.
The dead engineer formerly
.. lived in Charleston. Al the time of
ins aeatn lie was an engineer nil the
{ Southern, running betweeu Marion,
1 N. C., and Camden, S. C.
News readers will recall the terrii
ble week at Fishing Creek, when tive
were killed outright and 10 or 12 were
i badly injured, among the slightly inr
jured was Mr. Aberuethy, of this city,
1 who was traveling for E. M. Andrews
i & Co., the furniture dealers. The
- suit of Mrs. Brickman is the heaviest
. that has ever been brought against a
1 railroad in North or South Carolina.
1 It will come up in the common pleas
. court of York county.
u The wreck at Fisclng Creek trestle
r occurred on the morning of September
2 .'frd. The cause of the disaster is now
J being examined Into by the railroad
f commission of South Carolina. It has
been claimed by some tbat the acci,
dent was the result of decayed tirnliers.
This will be the contention of
all who intend to enter suit against
the company.
' Mr. J. S. B. Thompson, chief of the
2 executive department of the Southern
informs The News that a broken wheel
. on tlie front trucks of the engine was
, found immediately after the accident,
I and in the opinion of the railroad oflicials,
was wholly the cause of the
i trouble. This fact was testified to by
LI the otticials of the railroad under oath,
) at Columbia last week.
Col J. H. Averill was selected by
the South Carolina railroad commission
to make a thorough examination
of the property. This report was
quite lengthly. He described the road

Tliuisdaj t'iu rreated consider- 1
able excitement, being unable to give ;
his name, from whence he came, or in
:, fact no information whatever altout
himself. It seemed clearly to be a
j case of lost identity and the physi:
clans interested themselfs in it and he '
: was taken to the private hospital and '
has regained to a certain extent his
menttfl faculties and is able now to i

When he tirst came to. his past was

sign of insanity, only being unable
to give any account of himself as to

willing to give out anything for publication.
for although lie can now give

to a certain extent his memory, he is

TWO LAWYERS ARRESTED. <
A Hcntiatioii Crops Out of t ho Tillman
Trial.
The Augusta Chronicle Lexington correspondent
says the Tillman case (
had a sensational byplay Wednesday
evening. It was the serving of war- 'j
rants on Attorney E. L. Asbill, of the <
prosecution, and his friend Lawyer
Sturkie, both of the Lexington county 1
bar. These warrants charged AsbiM
with carrying a concealed weapon and
trespass and Sturkie was charged witii
merely the latter offense. c
It seems that a rumor gained cir- <
culation in Lexington last week that
an attempt had been made to pay
Melton C. Lorick, a witness for the
defence, two dollars and a half a day
to leave Lexington and remain away
until me wriiii was uiiisiieu. i lie niter
was said to have been made by Attorney
Asbill through Wallace K. Lor-,
ick, a brother, who was one of the
tirst constables In charge of the jury. ,
i The story was told in Lexington by J. (
A. II. Geiger, a relative ol the Lor- .
ieks.
Now to the warrants of today; In
the latter part of last week, Geiger ?.
and W. E. Lorick stated that they
would swear out warrants for Messrs.
Asbill and Sturkie, on the grounds
above stated. It seems that when
Asbill heard of these rumors he secured
a buggy and in company with
Sturkie drove out to the home of
Geiger, some eight or ten miles from
Lexington. He demanded an affidavit *
from the two men denying the state- '
1 uient that had been made in Lexington.
Gciger and Lorick alleged that they
refused to give these atlidavits on the
ground that what they had said was r
| true. Asbill denied this alleged and "
I that it was a scheme to injure his reputation.
Geiger says he ordered the two
, men oil his premises. In his atlidavlt
[for warrant, Geiger alleges that Asj
bill drew a pist"l at this stage of the
[quarrel and Sturkie prevented a dis- _
turbancc by getting Asbill to leave.
| Sturkie was present merely as a friend
|of Asbill. Friends of Asbill deny the
transaction. Asbill and Sturkie gave a
Irond. C
