THE FIX THE PEOPLE ARE
IN.

Did you ever think about the fix
this people would he in if we had no
national banks and no provision for
getting money out of the hands OF
the government and into the hands
of the people? One way would be
to sell the money to the people, an
other way to give it to them, and
another to lend them the money. It
is sold to them when the govern
ment pays salaries and constructs
public buildings. 1t is given away
| in some cases, but to keep from lie nGt-
ing it to the people they turn tae
government over to the natl oAal
banks and let them lend it to the
people. They turn it over to the ma
tional banks for the cost Of printing
it, and the banks lend it to yOm for
what they can force you to pay.
Now, / submit that inste at OF
lending it to the people second hand,
it would be better and safer to lend
1t direct. 1t would be more bu sin ess
like, honorable and open handed, and
less liable to cheating and oppression,
TO lend it to the people upon tn e most
potential security that exists The
government cannot be injured by di-
rect contact with the people The
people cannot steal the government
or the money.
We hear it said the government
has had a great deal Of worry put
ting the money out Of the treasury
