FROM MICHIGAN.
Pontiac, October %, 1873.


To the Editor Of the woRKrSsstx- ADVOCATE
The lesson furnished by the present
financial crisis ought to sink deep into the
minds Of all labor reformers and the whole
industrial community. Here we are, a
great nation Of forty millions of people,
furnished with every scientific appliance
for production and distribution, with load
ed granaries and prairies teeming with
meat. literally stuck fast, and enter
prise almost brought to a stop because all
these industries lack money" to keep
them in motion What a commentary OH
the criminality and stupidity of our class
legislation and general financial arrange
ments, especially when this money can be
manufactured so cheaply and in such guam
titles as may be necessary.
Not only does it exemplify the useless
ness Of our national banks, but their abso-
,ute hurtfulness to the whole industrial
community. For, instead of devoting
their funds exclusively to the industries OF
the country, at low rates Of interest, they
have, in numberless instances, served as
the cats paws Of gigantic speculations TO
fleece the community. They have upheld
speculative bubbles which, in bursting,
have scattered ruin among thousands. The
crisis which they have helped to bring
about will cost the industrial classes mil
lions Of dollars through depreciation OF
values and loss Of employment.
