national bank. He paid down Ill he
had and gave his note and mortgage for
the balance on five years time. He
built 4 house, planted his vine
yard and fruit trees, and Ind
made other valuable improvements.
His farm was doubling in real value
each year. But the two law-created

In this body We find twcnty-seven

with m aggregate nominal capital Of
500, o00. 600, but real capital Of no
less than S2,OCO, 0OO,O 900. These men
represent the money power and the

ment are concerned, and in direct an-
tagonism to the industrial interests Of
the people.
Associated in legislation with them are
pa lawyers, educated and trained to

The profession Of lawyer and all of his

duty is to serve faithfully the

to lawyers generally, and when we
couple these facts with the vicious finan-

is good solely because the Government
indorses it and redcems it with green
back, why not 60 back to first principles
and take the note from the Government
the Endorsement Of whose sovereignty
gives ali the value?
The second objection is still more
serious. One of the greatest fnllacies
is the assertion that public debt il q
public blessing. We never found pri-
vate debt private blessing. Every
man feels glad when the burden Of debt
is lifted from him. A government is int
a combination cf individuals, and it
cannot hope III tho management Of pnb-
lie debt to escape any of the burden TINT
accompanies paivate debt. just rs q
private debt should be paid ut the earli-
est possible moment, SO should public
debt be Cancelled. 1t would be con-
sidered the greatest stupidity in nh indi-
vidual to have a large bunk deposit and
allow his notes to go to protest or to be
extended. Is it any less stupid for the
Government to keep hundreds Of
millions Of dollars idle in the treasury
aud at the same time refund its debt into
longtime bonds that cannot be pnid for
twenty five years? The national-bailk.
ing system is founded on the national
debt. Its managers are directly inter-
ested in pcrpetnating the debt. Pay the
| debt MS fast Us the funds accumulate in
the treasury and there is no need Of re-
funding. Pay the national debt and
the national banks must go, because you
destroy their basis.
But the third objection is Of vastly
greater importance, for in it lies the
| secret of all the evils that panics have
ever wrought, all the causes that have
made panics possible. Whoever con-
trolls the volume Of currency controls
the value Of all commodities. Whoever
owns the money will eventually own all
the property Of the world. This dam
gerous power is to-day given to nation
al banks, and under it they can expand
and contract at will, and cause universal
bankruptcy whenever their own self-in-
terests seem to require. Proof OF this is
shown in events so recent that they are
fresh in everybody's mind. In proof Of
the power to initiate we cite the fact that
the circulation Of national-bank notes is
many millions more than at any pre-
yions time in the history Of the
system. In proof of the power
to contract we refer to the closing
hours Of the last Congress when, to de-
feat the Refnnding bill, the national
banks applied the tremendous power in
their possession, very nearly produced
national bankruptcy by a sudden and
violent contraction Of the volume Of cur
rency, and forced the veto Of bill,
passed by large majority Of both
houses Of Congress, under the provisions
of which for the first time the people
saw the dawning light Of their emanci-
patton from the terrible power Of the
national banking system.
Such power is too dangerous to be
in the hands of private corporations. It
is sovereign power to coin money and
regulate the value thereof. Let the
people never rest content until every
vestigc Of Legislation is removed from
the statute book that permits the exist
ence Of the national banking system.
