what we know about the chinese in san francisco, a lot of it came from mark twain. hate to say, all his papers are at bancroft. what we know about chinese burial practice, re-burial, shipping the bones back, is from his reporting here in san francisco. he was very sympathetic to the chinese. he was not that way from missouri, but when he came out west and that the chinese, he was very kind in his writing. you can come here and read that. here is another map. this is the 1885 map, made to be very racist, to show the vices in chinatown. but few people came with a report. this is the municipal report here in san francisco, and the red are all the josh houses. this was hedonism. it wasn't christian. this shows that the chinese were not christians. the pink is gambling. green is chinese prostitution. the light blue in another section is white prostitution. the yellow is opium dens. most people have seen this map. few people have read the report. here, we have an incredible collection, not only of pictures of the glass plate, about 140 of them. you can see the original an

and that is how francis met francis jefferson, mark twain, and other writers of that period.hat's how she got involved in that whole mill year and became supportive of the copyright. and you should tell your viewers that the problem with the copyright is the opposite of the tariff issue. the issue with the topping right is that american writers were not able to get royalties if their works were sold abroad. and the effort was to get these international protection for american authors that they were able to get royalties when their books were sold internationally. >> so we are talking about those major political issues of the day, outside of the kind of things that francis directly was involved in, like tariffs, it's a huge debate over the gold standard versus replacing it with something that is with a standard that is based upon silver. or legislation regarding the native american land and a simulation. any kind of legislation that is dealing with the massive immigration into america, and how america's able to transform. she is really not involved in any of that to any extent

looking at the 1970s we said you know, history may not repeat, but it often rhymes, which is a famous mark twainee is that even though you had 50% earnings growth between 1972 and 1974, because inflation was really picking up, you had the stock market from peak to trough drop close to 50%, quite 50% earnings growth. and that was driven by inflation. today you are starting with trailing p/e multiples sitting at 30 times, not 20 times. so the risk to the downside if something goes wrong and they are wrong and it is not transitory, which i don't believe it is, that's going to cause a much bigger issue given the levels we are starting at for valuations >> but i guess the pushback on that, dan, would be to what extent is some tapering by the end of the year, already basically expected by investors? we are not talking about three rate hikes by the fall >> well, you don't have any idea i mean, right now, you have got cpi -- the month-to-month increase in cpi was the fastest since 1982 that number is sitting 359% year over year. we haven't even fully reopened yet. i haven't been on an airplane since jan

mark twain. there were a lot of writers there. but, yeah, some -- if you think about it, if we're going to go around changing all of these names of institutions because they were antisomething -- 95% were anti-something. we can't live in the past because someone is going to do it to us. it depends on the reasons put up recently for to important something that is racists. but some of these other names like boat hall, it was donated by the wife to honor her husband. how are we going to get future donations otherwise? it wasn't donated because of what he did as a congressman, but because the wife wanted to remember him. we have a lot of things going on here that we have to look at more carefully. >> i'm sorry. i'm just going to give you the mic just because c-span is here. >> i'm sorry. i was going to say, even if you read the republican supreme court justices rather conservative, very affluent especially the birthrights case, you will see that they were sympathetic to the chinese. >> i want to speak to how do we get our stories out?
