National Reformer: Thackery, one
of the ablest of English writers, said:
"a republic and an aristocracy won't
amalgamate. A country must be gov
erned by the one principle or the other
But give, in a republic, an aristOcracy
ever so little chance, and its works
and plots and sneaks and DULLES and
sneers itself into place, and you find
democracy out Of DOORS"
This was written many years ago.
Let US see how true it Is. The plan is
pretty well outlined in the following
pair of circulars:
THE Hazard Circular, written in 1862,
to American bankers.]
Slavery Is likely to be abolished by
the war power, and chattel slavery will
be destroyed. This and my European
friends are in favor Of, for slavery is
but the owning of labor and carries with
it the care of the laborer; while the
European plan, led in by England, is:
Capital control of labor by controlling
wages. This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt that capt.
talists must see to it is made out of the
war, must be made as the means to con-
troll the volume of money. To accom-
plish this the bonds must be used as a
banking basis. We are now waiting to
get the Secretary of the Treasury to
make this recommendation to Congress.
1t will not do to allow the greenback,
as it is called, to circulate as money any
length of time, for we cannot control
them; but we can control the bonds,
and through them the bank issue"
The Buell. Circular, sent by the Bank
ers' Association to the banks about
1875.
1T is advisable to do all in your DOW
er to sustain all such daily and prOmi-
nent weekly newspapers, especially the
agricultural and religious press, as will
oppose the issuing of greenback paper
money and that you will also withhold
patronage or favors from all who will
not oppose the government issue Of
money. Let the government issue the
coin and the banks issue the paper mon
ey of the country, for then we can bet
ter protect each other. To repeal the
law creating National bank notes, or to
restore to circulation the government
issue of money will be to provide the
people with money, and will therefore,
seriously affect your individual profit
as bankers and lenders. See your men,
Der of Congress at once, and engage
him to support your interests that we
may control legislation. What do the
daily and weekly papers, say in re-
gard to the matterP Note the folio wing
