(Agnew, Spiro; Hamar, Sherman C). Butler, Richard (1918-2004). White supremacist founder of the Neo-Nazi Aryan Nations
RARE 1964 WHITE SUPREMACIST "CHRISTIAN DEFENSE NEWS" RACIST & ANTI-SEMITIC BROADSIDE on Newspaper Stock. This Broadside accompanied by 2 letters signed by Sherman C. Hamar was mailed to SPYRO AGNEW Richard Nixon's future Vice-President who was then running for the office of Governor of Maryland.
Los Angeles CA: Christian Defense League 1964. 1964. Fine. - Folio a 22-1/2 inches high by 16 inches wide broadside. The May 13 1964 Volume One Number One issue of the "Christian Defense News" broadside is printed on newspaper stock. Titled below the banner headline proclaiming "Extra! Extra!" the broadside consists of provocative articles and photographic illustrations under bold headings such as "'White Christians' Now a Minority Group' says Editor" "Enemies of Christianity on the March" and "Bible Out Of Schools". Folded several times for mailing else fine.<p>A 2-page mechanically reproduced letter signed by Sherman C. Hamar typed on both sides of legal-sized 14 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper is addressed "Dear Friend". Dated September 1966 the letter appears to be intended as a list of talking points for Republican candidates and lists 45 points drawn from the January 10 1963 Congressional Record which the author views as demonstrating that the Communist party intends to take over the United States. He includes "Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities" which in conjunction with Joseph McCarthy's efforts in the Senate had conducted witch hunts and was responsible for the Hollywood black list. Seven numbers are penned in blue ink at the top of the first page no doubt in order to emphasize the corresponding points.<p>An additional 8-page mechanically-reproduced letter printed on both sides of 4 sheets of legal-sized 14 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper bears the heading "A Republican Christian Congress in '66. Be Informed." Dated May 1966 and signed by Sherman C. Hamar the letter outlines strategies which the party should employ while subtly supporting anti-Communist White Christian and White Supremacist values. "You can & must win" is penned in blue ink at the top of the first page. There are several paper clip stains to the top edges of the first and last pages.<p>The broadside and letters were mailed to Spiro Agnew who was then running for Governor of Maryland and includes an original postmarked mailing envelope. <p>PROVENANCE: From the estate of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew's Chief-of-Staff Arthur J. Sohmer.<p>Spiro T. Agnew 1918-1996 was Governor of Maryland and Vice President of the United States under Nixon. He was indicted for tax fraud and forced to resign.<p>The American white supremacist Richard Butler 1918-2004 dedicated himself to the Christian Identity movement and founded the Neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations in the 1970s. After studying aeronautical engineering and science Butler was sent to India by his company to work on aircrafts for the Royal Indian Air Force. Some assert that his experience with the caste system influenced his later beliefs. Though he joined the Army Air Corps at the start of the Second World War Butler never saw action. He became increasingly Anti-Semetic and Anti-Communist during that period. Influenced by William Porter Gale and also the Klansman and pastor of the Anglo-Saxon Christian Congregation Wesley Swift Butler joined the Christian Identity movement. In the 1960's Butler was involved with the California Rangers the paramilitary arm of the Christian Defense League and in 1970 took over from Henry Beach as the leader of Posse Comitatus. Purchasing a large piece of land at Hayden Lake Idaho Butler founded the Aryan Nations group as a political wing of the racist white supremacist Church of Jesus Christ Christian.

(ARAGO, DOMINIQUE- FRANCOIS). - THE DISCOVERY OF MAGNETIZATION BY WAY OF THE VOLTAIC CURRENT
Expériences relatives à l'aimantation du fer et de l'acier par l'action du courant voltaïque.
Paris Crochard 1820. No wrappers as extracted fron 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique' Volume 15 2e Series. Pp. 93-102. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this importent paper in which Arago gives an account of his discovery of how iron and steel could be magnetized by the action of the voltaic current THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. "Arago . made several important contributions to electromagnetism on his own. On 20 September 1820 he announced the discovery of the temporary magnetization of soft iron by an electric current which suggested to Ampère a theory about the nature of magnetic "currents" and provided the technological key to the electric telegraph. Ampère calculated that the magnetic power could be multiplied by twisting the current-carrying wire into a helix and with Arago he carried out the first experiments on primitive solenoids. In his historical articles Arago was always careful to credit Ampère with the major share of this discovery which ultimately depended upon Ampère’s mathematical theory."DSB.Arago formed a close freinship with Fresnelwhose views on the nature of light he ardently supported. He assisted Fresnel in some of his most importent work and made original discoveries in the same field.Magie "A Source Book in Physics" p. 443 ff. </em> unknown

Henderson 1840-1906 served Congress as U.S. Representative from Iowa from 1883 to 1903 and as Speaker of the House from 1899 to 1903 -- more importantly he served valiantly in the Union army from 1861 to 1864 getting shot in the neck at the Battle of Fort Donelson and losing a foot and part of a leg in the Second Battle of Corinth both in 1862. Interestingly the membership roster near the close does NOT list Henderson as a member. The 14 pages of Society officers from its inception in 1865 until 1878 is an incredible "Who's Who" of the military mighty Generals John Rawlins John A. Logan O.O. Howar G.M. Dodge William T. Sherman John Pope etc. A most unusual copy in cannot-be-beat condition. The Society hardcover

(BANK OF THE UNITED STATES ARCHIVE)
An Archive Of The Second Bank Of The United States Contemporary Copies Of A Negotiation With The Treasury Department
SECOND BANK OF THE UNITED STATES. The Bank of the United States was the federal governments short-lived initial attempt as a central bank. The First Bank was active from 1791-1811 and the Second Bank operated from 1816-1836. Both versions which acted as the governments fiscal agent were highly controversial between those politicians in favor of central power and those against it. Neither had its initial 20-year Congressional charter renewed.Archive. 8 pieces. 1829. A set of eight documents related to the Second Bank of the United States. There are six letters and two financial documents. All are handwritten contemporary copies of the originals. The letters are between U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Samuel D. Ingham 1779-1860 President of the Bank of the United States Nicholas Biddle 1786-1844 and Acting President of the Bank of the United States Thomas Cadwallader. All concern negotiations for the Bank of the United States to handle the federal governments overseas disbursements. This correspondence pre-dates the Bank War - President Andrew Jacksons disapproval of the Second Bank of the United States that led him to veto attempts to renew its charter in 1836. However the seeds of discord between the bank and the federal government can perhaps be read between the lines of this negotiation. The documents are in fair condition with toning and losses or tears to the central fold of every page sometimes repaired crudely with tape on the verso. Some words of text have been lost due to the damage the extend of which varies from document to document:Letter. 1pg. July 24 1829. Treasury Department. Contemporary copy of a letter written by Ingham to Biddle requesting the Bank of the United States to handle overseas disbursements for the U.S. government. It is the desire of the Department to enter into arrangements by which all the public disbursements abroad may be made thro the Bank of the U.S. My present object however is to effect this only in relation to those for diplomatic purposes and for the relief of Seamen.Document. 1pg. N.d. 1829. N.p. Contemporary copy of a handwritten financial document entitled Bills of Exchange remitted to Europe for & on acct of the U States Department of State for 1825. 1826. 1827. 1828.Document. 1pg. N.d. 1829 N.p. Contemporary copy of a handwritten financial document entitled Estimate of the Sums which may be drawn during the year 1829 for Foreign intercourse. It is likely that this and the abovementioned document are copies of statements originally sent with Inghams July 24 1829 letter. Letter. 1pg. July 27 1829. Bank of the United States. Contemporary copy of a letter written by Cadwallader to Ingham. As Acting President of the bank Cadwallader informs Ingham that he will put Inghams request before the banks board.Letter. 4pgs. July 31 1829. Bank of the United States. Contemporary copy of a letter written by Cadwallader to Ingham concerning the bank boards decision about Inghams request. On receiving from the Gov.t a statement of the Sums to be drawn for quarterly on the Secretary of State at Washington by the Diplomatic agents of the U.S. in foreign countries the Bank will direct its own agents at London Paris or Amsterdam to pay punctually from quarter to quarter to the Diplomatic or Consular agent of the U.S. at or near those cities the cash for his bills making such payment in Shillings francs or guilders at whatever rate per Dollar the Gov.t may prescribe and to remit the bills immediately to the Bank of the U.S. on the arrival . Some of the text is illegible due to damage.Letter. 1pg. August 7 1829. Treasury Department. Contemporary copy of a letter from Ingham to Cadwallader. The Treasury Department does not accept the Banks terms. The terms on which you propose to provide for the public disbursements abroad cannot be accepted. It appears to me that any advance of money which the bank may make abroad it has always an equivalent in the possession of an equal amount of the public money for the same time at home and that when the commission paid to its agent abroad and the difference of exchange are allowed to the bank it is fully indemnified leaving nothing to be added but an allowance for its own trouble in transacting the business. It is evident from the explanations which accompany your proposal that the peculiar considerations arising from the pecuniary relations in which the bank stands towards the Government have not entered into your estimate of the subject.Letter. 3pgs. August 14 1829. Bank of the United States. Contemporary copy of a letter from Cadwallader to Ingham. The bank responds to the Inghams complaints. perfectly aware of the advantages which the Bank derives from the deposits of public money we are nevertheless of opinion that a full equivalent for those advantages is to be found in the bonus of a million & a half of dolls paid to the US for its charter in its obligation to hold those monies at the order of the Gov.t to give the necessary facilities for transferring them without charge from place to place within the US and in its assumption of the arduous and expensive duties & responsibilities of the Loan office & pension agencies by which the Bank has unavoidably incurred very heavy losses.Letter. 1pg. November 28 1829. Bank of the United States. Contemporary copy of a letter from Biddle to Ingham. Biddle opens negotiations once again. In consequence of the personal explanations of the Treasy Dept during my recent visit to Washington in regard to the disbursements for diplomatic purposes in foreign countries the subject has been resumed by the Bank with the strong desire always entertained to carry into effect the financial views of the Department and to render the Bank instrumental to the safe and economical distribution of the public funds.Letter. 1pg. November 6 1830. Treasury Department. Contemporary copy of a letter from Ingham to Biddle. Ingham finalizes details relating the arrangement the Treasury Department and Bank of the United States have come to. hardcover

(Bank of the United States)
An Exhibit of the Losses Sustained at the Office of Discount and Deposit Baltimore under the Administration of James A. Buchanan President and James W. M'Culloh Cashier; Compiled by the . President and Directors of the Bank of the United States
Baltimore: Thomas Murphy 1823. First edition. 28 xix 280 118pp. Folding tables. Uncut. 8vo. Publisher's paper-backed blue boards early manuscript titling on the spine. Title page torn without loss foxing. First edition. 28 xix 280 118pp. Folding tables. Uncut. 8vo. The establishment of the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 prompted immediate distrust of the institution with opponents charging it as constitutionally illegitimate and a direct threat to Jeffersonian agrarianism. With more local banks than any other state Maryland faced an unprecedented demand on specie from out-of-state banks and thus passed a bill calling for a tax on bank notes not issued by banks chartered within the state. The only such bank was the Baltimore branch of the Bank of the U.S. The cashier of the Baltimore Bank of the U.S. refused to pay the tax and the ensuing lawsuit would eventually make its way to the Supreme Court leading to the monumental decision in McCulloh v Maryland which held that the State could not tax a branch of the United States Bank and affirmed federal powers not delineated within the Constitution.<br /> <br /> Anti-banking prosecutors in Maryland however did not take the defeat in the Supreme Court lightly. Instead they indicted McCulloh and the President of the Baltimore bank of the U.S. James A. Buchanan 1768-1840; not to be confused with the U.S. President on conspiracy charges relating to 3 million dollars in loans that Buchanan and McColloh had extended to themselves and friends without proper collateral and without informing the directors of the parent Bank of the U.S.<br /> <br /> This scarce work comprises the reports indictments and evidence presented on the banking conspiracy cases brought against Buchanan and McCulloh published by the Directors of the Bank of the U.S. as part of their attempt to recuperate losses and address public .<br /> <br /> Scarce with only a single example in the auction records in the last quarter century.
