FROM THE CENTER OF THINGS SPECIAL LINCOLN LETTER From the Center of Things Lincoln , Ivebr. , Sept. ( Spec ial Correspondence ) Mr. Bryan's "fortune75 continues to work a lot of people. County Assessor Miller of Lancaster county is daily in re ceipt of letters asking him about Mr. Bryan's assessment , and he has been compelled to &et out mimeographed replies in order to keep up with the correspondence. Chairman of republican commit tees are the most numerous in quirers. This year's assessment rolls show Mr _ . Bryan to be pos sessed of taxable property in the amount of 887,000. About twenty per cent of this is charged up to The Commoner. % The Commoner has no printing plant , its tangible property being confined to a couple of safes , a dozen typewriters , a .few desks and tables and three or four rugs. The two automatic mailing machines are operated un der lease. Something like thirty tons of print and wrapping paper are kept on hand. Replying to "Joe" Cannon's charge that he is a nillionarewho made his million selling "wind and ink , " Mr. Bry an at OIney , Illinois , last week , took the public into his private re sources , lie calculated that he was possessed of propery worth perhaps § 125,000 , but in order to be well within the mark said he would call it § 150,000. He then told how he made it , and asked Speaker Cannon to take the pub lic into his confidence and explain how he had become a millionare on a salary of § 5,000 a year every year since 1861 , with the excep tion of two years. It is generally admitted that Cannon will be kept busy dodging Mr. Bryairssspeech during the rest of his campaign for re-election The. Nebraska republican state committee has ; irr"jed to have Myron T. Ilcrrick o Ohio speak ] in Lincoln soon , and his .speech will be devoted to opposing the bank deposit guarantee plank of the democratic platform. As soon as as the announcement was made the democratic state committee arranged to have Senator Owen of Oklahoma speak , on the samev day possible , in support of that policy. It is in no violation of 'confidence ' to say that if the re publican committee wants to make .it a joint debate between Herrick and Owen there will be no difficul ty so far as the democratic com mittee is concerned. On Labor Day 3000 union workingmen - ingmen in Lincoln paraded the streets. When the parade passed under the Taft banner on 0 street there was not the ghost of a cheer. But when the parade went by the Lincoln hotel , the front of which I is ornamented with a huge portrait ! of Bryan , the ckeers we'e loud and long. Several unions paused in the line to givel three cheers j for the next president. " i Of course this is only a straw. At Youngs-town , Ohio , one of the chief centers of the Steel trust and the Tube trust , 10.000 steel workers paraded before Taft , But the Rteel and tube mills declared a holiday "on pay" and the em ployes were , given to understand that they were expected to parade. At the central point of the parade an enthusiastic republican specta tor shouted : "Three cheers for Taft ! " But the cheering was de sultory. Then some one in the line shouted : "Three cheers for Bryan. " and immediately thous ands of men were cheering , wav ing banners and flinging there hats in the air. The Associated Press did not report this , but the local papers did. The bee liner from Mr. Bryan's bat in the direction of Joseph G. j Cannon has already been scored at republican headquarters as "too hot to handle. " Mr. Taft declares that some of t the Dingley schedules should be revised upwards. The sugar trust has just added another twenty cents per hundred pounds to the price of its product. Presumably the sugar trust has seen to it that its schedule shall be included among those to be "revised upwards. " The way to get rid of Cannon is to get rid of Cannon. Before Illinois could get rid of the infamous Allen law. Joe Can non and his brother grabbed off a rich slice of the pickings that the Allen law meant to provide. The way to get rid of Cannon is to elect a democratic house. Tire Financial Age , published in New York , says of the guaranty of brink deposits : Mr. Bryan's financial scheme of guarantee of bank deposits which is not his originally , but an appro priated idea is doubtless good in times of piping peace in country districtsbut it isn't of great con sequence as an issue , for any state has a right to adopt it , and while we don't think much of it as a panacea of banking ills , the re publican party will no doubt ac cede to the wishes of the people if they over demand it as a large majority. " But how big must a majority be before the republican bosses acquiesce ? Does anyone doubt that a huge majority of the people have been demanding tariff ! revision for six or eight years ? I Does anyone doubt that an over whelming majority of the people i demand popular election of senators - j tors ? Yet republican bosses have 1 ' steadily refuse to even consider j i tariff revision until "after elec tion , " and the republican national , convention by a vote often to one turned down a plank favering , popular election of senators. The party dependent upon the protec ted trusts for a huge portion of its campaign funds will not revise the tariff in the interests of the con sumers. And naturally that that same party's bosses will be a long time in seeing a majority in favor of a law that is opposed by the great banking firms whose mem bers are inextricably mixed up with those same tariff protected trusts and industries. WILL M. MAUTIX. "National" Banks. No institution should be author ized by law to use the word "Na tional , " as part of its name , unless backed by the guarantee ot the national government. When the government creates banks and authorizes them to do business un der the name of "national" banks , the use of the name carries with it the implication that the govern ment stands back of the institutions bearing it , and it should be a mat ter of national pride to see to it that their obligations will be met as promptly as those of the gov ernment itself. At present the government guarantees a part of the obligations of national banks , that is , the notes issued by them. Why not guar antee the other class the deposits and make such institutions worthy to use the word "national" as part of their names ? A man who holds a bank obligation for deposits is as much entitled to protection as Jhe man who holds its notes. The democratic platform proposes that he shall have it. The republican platform is silent on that proposi tion , and its candidates opposed to it. Where do you stand ? Mr. Taft thinks that the fear of their depositors Jias a great deal to do with keeping bankers from the "exploitation and manipulation of bank assets , " Mighty few bankers have been hurt by their depositors ; as a rule it has been the depositors that have been hurt. With the wide-spread alarm at the disappearance of our forests , with the prices out of sight and still climbing , the wisdom of a protec tive tariff on lumber is very easily seen by the lumber trust.
