kind, none has been more effeCtual than
that which deludes them with paper
money (bsnk paper)' This is the most
successful of inventions to fertilize the
rich mans field by the sweat Of the poor
mans brow. Ordinary tyranny and ex-
cessive taxation bear lightly on the hap
piness Of the mass of community COM
pared with q fraudulent currency and
the robberies committed by deprecated
paper. Our own history has recorded
for our information enough, and more
than enough, Of the Generalization and
the injustice Of a degraded paper cur
rency authorized by law or in any way
countenanCed by government"
The speech of Senator Benton Of
March q, 1884, is testimony against
the banking system, in which he declared
that all the great nations Of antiquity
lived and fourished and achieved their
immortal deeds without even the knowl-
edge Of bank paper. He says: "These
great peoples, whose armies crushed
empires at a blow, whose monumental
edifces still attest their grandeur, had
no idea Of bank credits and bank cur
renCy. The plan to establish
paper system in America was brought
forward by Gen. Hamilton in 1791. Un-
fortunately at that time the (bRnk) pa
per system was omnipotent in England,
and it made its transit to America.
Everything that would contribute to the
system, everything that would go to sus-
tain the newborn bank Of the United
States-ths elder daughter of the paper
system in AmericR-fell in with the cur
rent and became incorporated with the
legislation of the day." etc.
And James G. Blame expressed him
self on the question as follows: "Could
there be a scheme devised that would
enable certain class of men to get
money legally without work, or to grow
rich by robbery Of the people, to swallow
up the fortunes Of the masses more
effectuslly than the system Of banking
pursued in this country up to the time Of
the introduction Of RreenbscksS" l an
swer, if it were possible, it would be that
system since lnsugurated under the style
and title Of national banks" now in op-
Grafton in the country.
Another and still higher authority is
that plain, practical business man and
sensible observer of public affairs for
three quarters of century, Peter Cooper,
of NesO York. He gives the results of his
experience on the question at issue as
follows: zone of the best business les
sons Of my life learned some sixty-five
years ago, when I saw, as did Gen. Jack.
soDs the terrible danger that results from
allowing corporations TO control the
money Of the country-even in the

capital of about $4OOOO,OOO, loaning, as it

would 60 on, people increasing in prodi-
gslity and extravaganza, speculating and
borrowing money with recklessness until
the good president would find it his duty
to the bank, as well as the people, to
issue an order curtRlling accommods-
tions. And thus the community Of q
sudden, brought up all standing, find
difficulty in paying their debts, and are
obliged to make great sacrifices, so that
the banks themselves are in Strengthened
circumstances, property falls in value,
business is suspended, and the few buy
up the wrecks of ruined estates, as in
1887, and again in 1857, on each OF which
occasions nearly one third Of all the
property Of the country changed hands,
and thousands were ruined. The ten
panics like our present One) in the
money market that have myself
witnessed, have been produced by the
people becoming dependent for their
business operations on bank socommo-
dstions, which have been too suddenly
withdrawn from them, so that they have
had to make the most heart aching sac
rifces to pay the banks and their other
debts. The old United States bank was
found at one time with $400 600 loaned
out when it had only some 100000 in
it's vaults 10 pay it's immense issues.
When this fact became known in PhilR-
delphiB, the seat Of the bank, it's presi-
dent was obliged to fee for life and was
never heard Of after, to my knowledge.
Mr.. Cheeves, of South Carolina, q cele-
brated fiusncier, was called to take his
place, and it took wise counsel and wary
action to save the bank from ruin. It
was only done by curtailing business
and accommodations. Loans that had
been made at % per cent. month could
not be renewed at all, and the result was,
Of course, ruin, ruin, ruin everywhere
and in almost every family In the city
and county. / myself saw in Baltimore
and Philadelphia whole blocks of houses
that were given up to land owners to get
rid of paying the extravsgsnt ground
rents people had agreed to pay under
the imitation that has proceeded the uni
versBl ruin"
My next authority explains the prob
lem of imitation of which Mr.. Cooper
speaks as the cause of the catastrophe
that followed. 1t ia that Of Wendell
Phillips, in a speech at Boston, June 5,
1879. He said Bankruptcy is written
all over the ledgers Of business firms Of
this city. Some say it is the fault Of in
flstion. Go to France where every
spindle is hot with activity and every
dollar is employed, and she repudiateS
the charge. Cross over to Germany and
we may feel at home, for she is bank
rupt and poverty Is steVery corner. Eng
land, Germany and America all bank
rupt because Of an insane desire to
limit their currency to gold. If America
should to morrow be ssssiled by an
enemy, Wall street and State street
would take refuge in the greenback.
But the power Of imitation must rest
somewhere. You ask where / would
trust itY i answer, trust IS sOith the goo

Of the money kings OF State street and
