INFLATED CREDIT
iE OF
Country Has Been on Finan
cial Debauch and Must
Now Sober Up.
SECURITIES NOT DIGESTED
Mass ol Credits Thrown on Market
by Amalgamated Copper and the
Steel Trust Work Injury The
Inflation Must Cease.
BT P. A. O'FAHRELIj.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. (Special.) In
the financial evolution now in progress,
perhaps the strangest thing is that our
rulers at Washington and our financiers
in New York seem unanimously bent on
hiding or putting out of sight the true
cause of the present trouble. Men for
get that the commerce and trade of the
world must be carried on by credits and
that any inflation of credits means trou
ble for the whole commercial world.
The truu cause of our present financial
condition is Inflation of credits. The com
merce of the world has multiplied 26
times since Jefferson's first election, but
stocks, bonds and other securities have
been multiplied a thousand fold. Mr.
Morgan injected a billion and a half of
steel securities into the financial mar
kets of America and Europe, and these
commanded in the money markets of
Europe and America a billion of credits.
Mr. Rogers injected a half billion of
copper securities into America's finan
cial markets. Both Mr. Rogers' flotation
of copper and Mr. Morgan's flotation of
steel were monstrous inflations of secu
rities, and were followed by an equally
monstrous inflation of credits.
These Securities Work Harm.
The injection of these two billions of
new securities of doubtful value into the
financial markets of the world did incal
culable harm. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Rock
efeller did not manufacture and utter
copper securities to help the copper in
dustry in any way. Mr. Rogers was a
promoter. Air. Rogers' trade was to coin
a profit as a middleman. He saw in the
copper of the Butte mountains a chance
to reap a golden harvest. T. W. Lawson,
the herald of the Standard Oil Copper
boom, tilled the world with fables about
copper. All the nations were told that
copper was more valuable than gold, and
that the supply was so limited that the
price of copper would rise to 30 cents a
pound. Now it develops that Butte Cop
. per or Amalgamated Copper cannot be
. produced under 12 cents a pound, and
that all tne. copper the world wants or
will ever want can be produced for 10
cents and less.
Owing to financial stringency, dear
money, the world-wide trade depression,
we are using less copper now than we
were 10 years ago. It was then about
2,000,000 pounds a day; it must be less
now. Since then, moreover, Japan has
taken a leading place in the copper in
dustry and today outstrips Montana as a
producer of copper.
Butte's Business Doomed. '
Utah and Nevada can. supply 1,000.000,
000 pounds of copper a year at a cost of
less than 10 cents, When Standard Oil
folks formed the Amalgamated Copper
Trust, no one had heard or dreamed of
Nevada copper. Anaconda and Montana
ruined Secretan and his copper corner,
and in its turn Nevada and Utah copper
mines, capable of producing copper to
supply the whole world, have ruined the
Standard Oil Copper Trust, and will put
every mine in Butte out of business.
The copper bulls on both sides of the
Atlantic are making frantic efforts to
hide these facts. Their Inflated copper
stocks are held by bankers In Boston. In
New York, in London, and . in Paris as
collateral for loans, and while they are
being liquidated the price of copper
metal is kept inflated and the world's
stupendous accumulation of copper keeps
growing at the rate of 2,000,000 pounds a
day. That is, production is double con
sumption. The whole demoralization of
the copper trade, and no small part of
America's financial troubles can be
traced directly to the financiers who are
responsible for the injection of the Stand
ard Oil coppers into the financial markets
of the world.
Formation of the Steel Trust.
I have never heard one valid excuse
for the formation of the Steel Trust. Mr.
Carnegie threatened. I believe, a trade
war, and Mr. Morgan feared Carnegie
and his trade war, and dreaded the effect
of such a war on Wall street, so he had
to buy Carnegie out. The canny Scot told
his friends he could have exacted another
$100,000,000 from Morgan but he was gen
erous and was satisfied with a first mort
gage on all he had himself and all his
rivals possessed. The placating of Car
negie cost the world dear. A billion
and a half of inflated securities were put
out for the world's money markets to
digest, and Morgan had to coin profits
out of the consumers of America to pay
4 per cent on 500.000.000 of steel common
and 7 per cent on steel preferred. This
year the net Income of the Steel Trust
was greater than the revenue of the Unit
ed States when Lincoln was elected Presi
dent. The Steel Trust does not want a
fair or reasonable profit. It wants all
Jt can get a .hundred per cent on every
article it makes. But some day the duty
on steel and iron products will go, and
then the tribute America pays the Steel
Trust will be 20 per cent of what it is
today. It was $160,000,000 last year; $30,
000.000 would be enough. .
InHation Still Continues.
Has the United States been fully recom
pensed for the price it has paid for Mr.
Carnegie's glory by a panic and great
business depression? Mr. Morgan coined
a great profit In achieving boundless
wealth for Carnegie, for Mr. Morgan took
care to turn the steel securities he ac
quired, as promoter, into money, and
when the crisis came he was able to pose
as the saviour of his country..
For seven years Heinze kept digging
the money out of the Butte Coalition
Mines to wage his copper war, and when
he had won out and got $11,000,000,
Standard Oil immediately proceeded to
get it back from the public by resell
. ing the Heinze mines to investors on
the basis of $40,000,000 and upward.
Thousands of other financiers more
or less great, and more or less worthy
or unworthy, were engaged in the same
trade of making and issuing new se
curities, and making markets for tlfem.
J. J. Hill issued $150,000,000 of new se
curities against an alleged Iron mine
in Minnesota, which the Steel people
nay is not worth 10 cents on the dollar.
Hill says it has a billion tons of iron
ore: the Steel people say less than
50,000,000 tons. T. F. Ryan has been
issuing traction securities till we have
almost $700,000,000 of various traction
securities in Greater New York. How
is it possible to swallow and digest
these vast masses of securities?
The financial "world is groaning un
der the overwhelming load of stock
bonds and credits that are await
d
1!G
ing absorption. The inflation of cred
its and securities led to the inflation
of all commodities; to extravagant liv
ing, and to unparalleled luxury. We,
who do not think, called It marvelous
prosperity, but the few that think know
better, and know that there must come
a day of liquidation and readjustment.
It is here, and it will stay till it is
completed. The - attempt to put the
blame on politicians or courts fools no
sane man. The world, particularly our
own world, has been having a financial
debauch, and it must,sober up, and the
sooner men realize that fact, the better.
- When the realization comes they
must beware of old Standard. There
is $1,200,000 of new gold coming out
of the earth every day. There is being
Issued daily $1,000,000 of new currency.
This means more inflation on top of the
monumental Inflation of stocks, bonds
and Credits. The disease we suffer from
is inflation why add to it? -
Inflation Must Cease.
When inflation of commodities and
incomes, and dividends, and wages, and
real estate, and credits has died out,
and rotten securities are eliminated from
financial markets, we shall have all
the money we need for legitimate- busi
ness. Let us be honest with ourselves,
and while Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rocke
feller and Mr. Carnegie are saving the
country,, let us try and understand the
real, true inwardness of the evolution
taking place. ,.
. The Government has placed $250,000,
000 and more in the banks of the coun
try. What for? To stay liquidation.
And yet the liquidation must come, for
only 'by liquidation can the rotten
things be weeded out and the woful
Inflation of the decade be got rid of.
Inflation cannot last, and will not
last, and must not last, tor it is the
antithesis of Justice, and justice is
eternal, and immutable, and holy, for
It is another name for God.
HOW KELLER HUNTED GOLD
Drafts on Government Forged by
Ex-Army Officer. .
CHICAGO, Dec. 20. Daniel F. Keller,
former . Captain In the Twenty-fourth
Infantry, whose arrest at Kamloops,
B. C, for forgery was reported yester
day, resigned his commission last Feb
ruary while stationed at Fort Sheridan,
Illinois. At that time he announced his
intention of "hunting for gold."
Prior to entering the Army in 1896,
Keller had been a miner. His capture
through a detective agency was the cul
mination of a chase that has covered
thousands of miles throughout the West
and across the border. Last May he se
cured $7500 at the Washoe County,
Bank, Reno, Nev., on a forged paymas
ter's check. He used the name of W.
W. Robinson. Quartermaster-General,
stationed in Chicago.
Keller last week filled In a Quarter
master's draft on the Treasury of the
United States and presented it to the
Hamilton Bank, Kamloops, B. C. The
sum which he endeavored to obtain
through this check was $92,500. The
Kamloops bank withheld payment and
wired to the United State sub-treasury
in Chicago, asking if the draft was
good. Keller had signed the fictitious
name of "D. L. Smith, Shuswap Lake.
Canada."
The detective agency was notified and
wired to Seattle directing that "D. L.
Smith" be held. ' The check number
'184,597," which was one of those orig
inally taken by Captain Keller, indicat
ed that "Smith" was Keller. He will
be taken to Reno for trial.
The Quartermaster drafts used by
Keller were three of the five taken by
him from Quartermaster William Wei
gels' residence at Fort Sheridan. Short
ly after Keller's disappearance. Quar
termaster Weigel notified the sub
treasury that five drafts had been torn
from his check book.
A month after Keller's disappearance
two checks, drawn respectively" for
$4500 and $3000, which had been cashed
by the Reno Bank on May 17, were re
ceived by the sub-treasury for payment
to the' Reno Bank. As the checks were
forgeries, the Reno Bank had to stand
the loss.
As a soldier, Keller made a rapid rise
and was looked upon as a competent,
forceful officer. He was born in Read
Ing, Pa., where he enlisted in the Army.

DELAYED BY STORMY WEATHER
Ship Walden Abbey Encounters a
Series of .Severe Gales on Trip.
ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 20 The British
ship Walden Abbey, on which 7 per
cent reinsurance has been quoted on ..c
count of her long, passage, arrived in' to
day.. 182 days from Newcastle-on-Tyne,
with a general cargo consigned to Bal
four, Guthrie & Company. Captain J.
R. Campbell, master of the ship, says
the long passage was due to a, continua
tion of baffling winds and heavy gales,
during which it was -with extreme diffi
culty that any headway was made. The
vessel arrives in good order with every
one well on board and the only damage
of note during the trip was when cross
ing the bar today she was swept by a
huge wave, which smashed the wheel
and wheelbox.
The Walden Abbey sailed from the
Tyne on June 20, and ran Into a heavy
southwest gale in the North Sea, so Cap
tain Campbell decided to run north and
come through the Pentland Firth. Light
winds were encountered in the North
east and Southeast trades and after leav
ing them, baffling winds prevailed until
oft the La Plata River, when the ship
ran into a heavy southwest gale that
continued for four days and stirred up
a dangerous sea. During the following
week another southwest gale sprang up,
lasting for three days, and then pleasant
weather was encountered until she
rounded Staten Island on August 27. The
ship was there struck with the full force
of the southwest equinoctial gales that
did not abate for 22 days.
The ship was 28 days in rounding The
Horn, being driven back and forth and
swept by the huge seas, but aside from
a few minor damages, which were easily
repaired, the vessel was not injured.
Moderate -winds were picked up . In the
Pacific and carried through the south
east and northeast trades to 25 north
of the line, and from, there to the
Oregon coast was one continuation of
heavy gales that kept shifting from the
southeast to the west and northwest.
The Walden Abbey was sighted oft
North Head light on last Friday, De
cember 13, but was compelled to put off
shore again on account of the heavy
weather. She came up again on Wed
nesday and was boarded by Pilot Ander
son at 12 o'clock that night. This morn
ing Pilot Anderson sailed the vessel in,
and when about half way across the bar
a big sea swept over the craft, smash
ing her wheel and wheelbox and doing
other slight damage. The steering gear
was, however, not entirely disabled, and
the ship came in in good order.
Captain Campbell says that during a
big gale on Saturday, December' 7, he
sighted a large three-master, a bark in
ballast, but did not learn her identity.
