In chapter two, of the work, is this
language:
Internal strife threatened to destroy our
nation, and the people were looking for the
traitors in but one direction.
It was then that plot, dark and devilish,
was concOcted, by which to control the ma
tion and reduce it's labor to bondage. The
true key was found and applied, namely the
control of the peoples money. Our present
condition attests how we'll the wires were
laid. Money is the wonder worker of the
world. For good or i'll it is unlimited in
power. Aided by its proper functions, ma
tions rise; cursed by an illegitimate use,
they 90 down in night. Thus can we trace
the secret of the fall of Rome, of Greece,
of Egypt, of Babylon. All that was neces-
sary in our nations peril, all that is neces-
sary to-day to bring prosperity is tool by
which we can manufacture prosperity.
Money is that tool.
Without it civilization is at an end. With
it we are no better off if it lies idle in bank
vaults and the Golfers of the government.
Only as il is made active in it's legitimate
avoCation, namely in the distribution of
labor, is il other than drone, spirit,
coward. Constant circulation is it's Office,
following close upon the heels of prOduc-
tion, distributing what labor has brought
into existence.
That which marked new era in our ma
tional life was the advent of legal tender
paper money, ushered into existence amid
strong discussion in Congress in 1862.
Oar war expenses were met by the paper
money of the government. Bonds can
claim in that no part of the honor. They
bought no provisions; paid no soldiers;
they merely absorbed the life-bloOd of the
people, which was their paper money, at a
/ discount, stored them away to lie untaxed,
interest bearing and at premium for the
benefit of Shylocks. Not even majority
of bonds were sold until the war was at an
end; hence, had they possessed power for
good, we would have been deprived of the
benefit.
If ever the last state of man was
worse than the first, John Sherman
would be In that position, when consid-
cred in relation to financial questions in
1882, and then in 1868 and later years.
On the legal tender bill pending in the
United States Senate on February IL,
1862, Mr.. Sherman made q lengthy
speech, and here are quotations there
from as presented by Mrs. Todd in chap
ter 2 of her book:
much prefer the credit of the United
States, based as it is upon all the produc-
tions and property of the United States, to
the issues of any corporation, however we'll
guarded and managed. The annual pro-
ductions of this country are 81 500, 600.
