Unable to cope with the figures and
facts published in the GREAT WEST,
the plutes and their dog-tail alliance
hangers-on have but one method.
That is, to declaim against the re-
liability OF our figures. This is a fact:
that no journal in the world has ever
published such vast array OF fig
ures and financial statements as we
have in the past eighteen months,
and had so few errors!
One legislator who is forever ex-
cusing his want of backbone, took up
our statement of money circulation,
and showed a wrong amount using
the Sec'y of the Treasury's report.
We at once showed him the report of
the Director of the Mint's report and
lo!-he was wrong-the Secy's figures
were altogether different, and yet his
authority was from the Directorl Do
not be deceived. We never take fig
ures hap-hazard!

The Bill which passed the Senate

In the first act, number OF ALI

condemnation from every part OF the

The actual capital OF national
banks in this country is $65O,447, )
235. On this they would be permit
ted to issue, on the 30 per cent basis,
5S5 million dolla1s of currency. They
do issue, including redemption re-
serve, nearly $50 million dollars.
This shows the utter uselessness OF
the system.
They tell us that the national bank
is no longer profitable. There is
some truth in the statement, owing
to the premium on bonds created by
their profitable nature. However,
there were more national banks or
ganized from July 1889, to July 1890,
THANH any previous year since 1882!
And yet the amount of currency has
steadily decreased.

The statement that India would
flood this country with silver is one
of those wonderful arguments OF the
goldites by which they fool the fool
ish. India would buy every dollar OF
her silver in this country before she
could export it to this country. She
imports more than X times her ex-
port. To raise the price of silver
would add millions to our wealth just
by the export demand to India.

From 1909 to 1S49 the value of
gold arose ~ times it's former value.
But silver production remained more
stable, and really preserved the
monetary relations Of world. And yet
during this tremendous increase in
the value of gold-in which one dol
lar became worth -. 5o-some OF the
most valuable mines were discovered
and worked, like those of the Hartz
Mountains and of Saxony.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1891-04-24

By the Report of the Comptroller
OF the Currency (399. Secys Rept) the
amount of circulating currency by
the national banks is $685.
1896. There are $50, 4o3.-
554 more given as national
bank circulation, but just that
amount is held for redemption pur-
poses." So there is an actual fraud
of Sc millions in claiming $50 mil
lions as in circulation-even if ma
tional bank currency were really
money!
