Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-12-01

100000 people authorized theil
issue and stand behind them las they
dobehind the national bank currency
The greenback is even better than
the national bank currency. 1t is a
legal tender, and the national bank
bill is not. The greenback takes
the preference, and is really the re.
deemer Of the bank currency.
! Which is the best, then-the re-
deemer, which may be had without
money and without price, or the
miserable sinner that is redeemed,
and which costs us $l4, 100000
year to maintain? Let us have the
redeemers, issued by the people to
the people for the people.
And more than this. The people
should be provided with all the mon
ey they need to do business with.
l believe it to be the duty OF the
government to establish loan agen-
cies in every county in the United
States, where money may be bor-
rowed on good security by any one
at low rate of interest, say 2 per
cent. Then the people would get
what money they wanted to use,
and when they wanted it, by giving
ample security. When they didn't
want to use it any longer, they
would return it to the government
bank and take their securities.
Such a system would furnish an
elastic currency, supplying the de-
mand when there was a call for it
and taking it back when it was not
needed.
Money is simply tool of trade,
a medium of exchange, and the peo-
pie should have what they want of
it to carry on exchanges just as
much as a company of men should
have what shovels they need when
they are going to dig canal.
They won't use any more shovels
than they want, and if they have
less than they want, then some OF
the men must stand idle. A great
many men stand idle to-day in our
country because of the lack of
sufficient number of the tools Of
trade (money) to carry on business
with, and because of the high rate
of interest. If the government
loans money to all who need it on
good security at per cent. it would
establish the rate of Interest through
out the country and kill off the Shy

The National Banks.

country, and believe it it one OF
the very first questions of the hour.
What shall be our money? Who
shall issue it ? and what shall be the
quantity in circulation? are ques-
tions that very materially concern
all producers, whether laborers or
manufacturers. | cannot, Of course,
in the few minutes | shall speak,
discuss these great questions, but |
want to touch upon one Of them, at
least. 1t is one of the cardinal
principles of the Peoples party that
the people shall issue all our money,
and in quantities to meet the wants
of trade and commerce. That
means that our national banking
system must be abolished. 1t is a
system founded upon favoritism. and
class privilege it is very expensive
and entirely unnecessary, and, be-
side all this, it is dangerous polit-
ical power in a republic. Let me
explain to you how national banks
enjoy privilege under this sy stem
not granted to other citizens of the
republic F.; that is the opportunity of
getting two interests on their i'll
vestment-one on what they own
and the other on what they owe.
Five men start out to establish a
national bank. They put in $40, 900
apiece and buy 100000 of govern
ment bonds. They deposit these
bonds with the United States treas
urer for security and, receive $780,
900 of national currency, for which
they pay only one per cent interest.
They take this bank currency home
and loan it out to their neighbors all
the way from 8 to IA per cent inter-
est. You see now they are drawing
interest on $4,000, though they
have only 100000 invested.
They get the interest on their
bonds in the treasury every six
months, just the same as though the
bonds were in their private safe,
and they get interest on 500, 1000 be-
sides, which they loan to the people.
They borrowed this 100000 of the
people; they owe it TO us, and yet
they draw 10 or ~ per cent interest
on their debt.
We have heard of folks who live
Oh the interest of what they owe.
National bankers are equal to it,
and the only class of persons in the
country enjoy such a privilege un-
der the law.
Then look at it in another light
they are doing business on our
credit.
They borrow their bank currency
of the people at one per cent, and
then turn around and loan it back to
us at 10 per cent. How is that for
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-12-01

matte the American people are IL
sustaining the national banking
system.
We demand its abolition.
We want no class legislation
no such privileged class. If thu
government is going to do business
that way, all should be put on thu
same footing. The farmer woult
consider himself a lucky fellow if he
enjoyed the same privilege that the
national banker does.
Here is a farmer whose farm il
worth $4,000. If he could deposit
a mortgage of $4,000 with the sec
rotary of the treasury and get &C
per cent. of the amount in bank bills
to loan out to his neighors, he would
have soft thing.
He would be getting revenue
from $4,000, though he is worth
but $4,000. He would get the
proceeds from his farm the same as
ever, and big interest on the $4,000
beside
But he would be faring no better
than the national banker does.
This unjust banking system must be
abolished. We have now in circu.
latlon two kinds of paper currency,
to say nothing Of the gold and sill
YER certificates. We have the ma
tional bank currency and the treas
ury notes or greenbacks.
The government should retire the
national bank currency and issue
greenbacks in their stead. With
the issue of the government notes
in place of the national bank curren-
CIV, we could at once pay off some
$3.50 900, 900 of the bonds that are
now lying in the treasury as secur-
ity for the national bank currency,
and that would stop $l4, 000,O 900 OF
yearly interest which we are now
paying for the luxury of supporting
this aristocratic class of national
bankers.
We ought to be Yankees enough
to drive bargain that has as big a
yearly saving in it as that. The ma
tional banking system is called the
best money system we ever had.
OF course, the bank bills are good /;
no one ever hesitates to take them.
But why are they good? Because
go, 900, 900 people are back of them.
They are secured by government
bonds and are just as good and no
better than the security. But who
issued the bonds, and what makes
them good? The American people.
We don't complain that the ma
tional bank bills are not safe cur
rency. What we complain of is
that they are too expensive. We
pay 100000 annuity for their

locks that are 'devouring the. sub
stance of the people.
The farms of our country are plas-'
tered over with mortgages to- the
amount of billions of dollars on
which the farmer is paying all the
way from to IL per cent interest
What untold rclief this system
would bring to the farmers of our
country who are grooming under a
mountain of debt, and what untold
relief it would bring to the whole
people as well. 1t would start up
and set in motion the wheels of in-
dustry everywhere. 1t would raise

men, and fill the the whole land with
prosperity and happiness. Abolish
national banks and give the people

at the Grand Pacific hotel to-day. The
railway men are also represented, and al
though the strictest secrecy is being OBJ
served it is generally believed that the
object of the meeting is to arrange the
details of strike. The time Is especially
propitious for such move, as the political
campaign and the dedication of the
Worlds fair buildings will food the COM
panies with business to such an extent
that they will be practically at the mercy
of the operators. The object OF the
gathering in Kansas City was to prepare
for the anticipated struggle, and had there
not been q hitch in the proceedings
strike would have been declared
before this. The stumbling block was the
proposition for an amagsmation OF the
railroad and commercial operators, the
particular point in dispute being the de-
mand by the railway operators that all
disagreements between the commercial
men and their employers should be re-
ferred to grievance committee OF the
former organization. AT to.dsy's gather
ing the delegates will endeavor to bring
about harmony between the two bodies
and decide upon the terms upon which
the commercial men will continue to
work. If these terms are not accepted
the commercial men will walk out in
every Office in the country and will have
the support of the railway telegraphers.
The grievances complained of are that the
salary is not sufficient, and that the Chiefs
have too much power in the matter oil
peremptory dismissals.

ON A HURRAH.
The Visiting Vets. in Full Control of
the Nations Capitalize Great
Parade.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-There are
now som nething over half million of
names on the roll OF the Grand Army of
the Republic, and nearly one fifth Of that
number were in line when the grand
parade passed through the streets Of
Washington to-day. 1t was the biggest
event Of the season in point of numbers
and enthusiasm, and in the latter respect
especially it surpassed the several gather
ings OF secret and fraternal orders that
have been held during the summer.
From the start to the finish the veterans
passed between two solid walls of human,
ity, and the constant roar of the thou
sands of voices that cheered them TO the
echo as they marched along must have
been forcible reminder to them of the
din Of the many battles through which
they have passed. Even the broad streets
OF Washington were crowded to such an
extent that the police had all they could
do to keep clear way for the procession,
and this afternoon many sorrowng
resident will look with rueful eyes upon
the bare expaDse of turf extending from
his house to the curb line. Gen. Palmer
was at the head Of the line, escorted by
the 9TH Massachusetts regiment. This
honor was accorded to the Bay state boys
in recognition of the fact that they were
the first to make an armed defense of the
national capital when secession was ram.

sore and weary, from the Baltimore riot
and with less than score of ex.
ceptions every surviving member
of the regiment was at the
head OF the line to-day. The procession
was arranged on the much discussed
double column formation, and to Gen.
Palmer is due a great deal of credit for
having devised scheme that saved the
veterans several hours of marching.
Marching on the old plan with a column
of twelve men front it would have taken
eight hours or over for the line to have
passed given 70 mt, and in view OF the
age Of many Of the veterans it is evident
that thousands of them would have been
compelled to drop out before the order to
march was given. Pennsylvania Avenue
is 120 feet wide, aud there was not only
ample room for the double formation but
much better effect was created than
would have been possible with the men
strung out in line twice as long. The
enthusiasm reached it's height in the
neighborhood Of the grand stand where
the procession was reviewed, and the
effect wss heightened, at least to the vet
erans themselves, by the fact that the To-
cation was the same, and the circum.
stances in many respects similar to those
upon the occasion of tie reviewing OF
these same men by President Andrew
Johns OH when they were mustered out OF

Two Colonies Located.

James P. Massie, Of Abilene, Texas,
was in town this week, in charge Of two
agents of colonies. One was s. A. Smith,
Of Louisiana, who was here as an agent
of twenty families of Belgiana, who have
become disgusted with cotton growing,
negro labor and floods. They have re-
sided in America six years, learned the
language and are progressive. They are
very successful in small farming, and as
citizens are satisfactory, it is said. Mr..
Smith selected 800 acres of land for them
near Malaga, on Black river, and the
funds will be sent up at once to pay for
the land. Each coonist will take forty
acres OF land They will bring teams,
household goods and farming utensils.
The other representative was Capt.
David A. Paul, sheriff for sixteen years of
Rapids parish, Louisiana. He was chosen
by thirty.two American families, whom
he will join in a colony. He also selected
from 800 to 1000 acres three and q half
miles southwest of Malaga These far
mers will bring along agricultural mple.
meuts
The two parties will arrive about the
middle of December.
The gentlemen who came to view the
promised land went all over the valley
before deciding to locate the colonies,
and were entirely satisfied. EDDY Argus.

The Lower Bravo.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. 20.-Major
W. f. Creary, who has just arrived at
the military department headquarters
here, from an extended trip through the
drouth-stricken section along the Rio
Grande border, states that the recent
heavy rains have produced a wonderful
change in the appearance of the country.
AT Laredo, he found grass in abundance.
Passing thence, to Pena station, he
found, notwithstanding the sand, fair
crop OF grass, and 50 on from thence to
Rio Grande City. The Rio Grande river
is on one of the grandest beoms ever
known. At Edinburg, large wash
outs have occurred, carrying away
dwelling houses and stores, and
threatening the court house, staunch
brick building. Between Edinburg and
Brownsville. the Rio Grande has the ap-
pearance OF lake, overfowing both sides
of the country, and a number of cuts
have been made, transferring Texas soil
to Mexico, and vice versa. Near Browns.

Capt. Johnson, the commander, is taking
measures to prevent the destruction Of
the post. Passing on north, to Alice, the
country is flooded for milee, due to the
sudden rise OF the Rio Grande, which has
been officially stated to be twenty-five
feet above low water mark.

A Famous Case.

MADISON, Wis.,, Sept. 20.-Another
chapter vas to-day added to the long
story Cf the Wisconsin gerrymander
suits. In accordance with the ruling of
the supreme court two weeks ago, when
1t was decided to hear arguments on the
motion to Get aside ex-senator Villas
demurrer as frivolous, and also to permit
the whole matter to be argued on it's
merits, the case came up to-day. Mr..
Villas has exhausted every legal technic-
aliiy in his efforts to stave off hearing,
but Mr.. Bird, who is at the head of the
Republicans, urged upon the court the
importance Of time in obtaining a decision
before election, and the judges decided In
his favor. The demurrer submitted by
the attorneys for the Democratic commit
tee is said by lawyers who have kept
posted on the case to be rather weak
document. 1t is based upon the following
points: l. That the court has 10 juris.
diclion of the subject of the actions. 2.
That the plaintiff has no legal capacity to
sue, in this, that the relator has not the
right 10 sue in the name Of the state upon
the alleged cause of action. 3. That there
is defect of parties, in that the attorney
general ls the party required by law to
prosecute the action.

Unclaimed Millions.

NEw YORK, Sept. 20.-A dispatch from
London says Attention has lately been
attracted to the subject of the unclaimed
funds which have been accumulating in
the national exchequer for the past two
or three centuries by the fact, recently
developed, that the new courts of justice
have been built out OF the surplus interest
on these funds. In 1891 the funds in
chancery amounted to nearly $3.50, ,000,-
900, and some years since Mr.. Gladstone
found it convenient to borrow 5000, ,000,-
900 of the suitors money as national
loan
