The farmers' union. (Memphis, Mo.) 1891-1895, 1893-09-14

The Wilson bill las passed the

The machine might be ditfert Mt, but
the yrist would he the same. Money
was. and still is, the issue, and present
conditions would have been reached rs
certainly through Harrison as through
Cleveland. And now the financial
plank of both parties is interpreted. 1t
is Identical in both. 1t was written to
deceive. Like the Sherman act, it
was framed to be destroyed. Neither
of these parties will ever repeat the
ambiguous language.
And now the country will await the
outcome. The patient has been ire

Washington dispatch: Laying
aside all technical terms and to put 1t
in language that every man may un-
derstand whether he knows anything
about bank credits, reserves and sur
plus or not, the object of Senator
PETERS resolution of inquiry was to
lay before the public an official state
ment of facts about the Wall Street
bank ring, and the facts are these;
The first thing they did when their
confidence money" went up in wind.
was to issue clearing house certificates.
When bank could not pay IN money
its balances due other banks, it paid in
certificates. This was violation of
the law. but as it only effected the
banks and not the people who had de-
posted their money i'll the banks, and
as II strict application Of the law would
have forced every bank into the hands
of IL receiver, and prevented the peo-
pie from getting their deposits for
months, the Populist Senators did not
think that their duty to the common
people called them to interfere, while
the banks agreed to contnc those
clearing house certificates to their own
have been praised as patriots and say
Tors of the country by the DemoKe
publican leaders for the last ten days,
began a system of robbery viler than
bod scratching from pauper graves.
When Il depositor presented check
for money which was in the bank they
would certify it, or mark it good and
refuse to pay the money. Now under
the law the first refusal to pay II check
threw them into bankruptcy. But
Eckels. Carlisle and their tools in con-
troll of the Government refused 20 en-
force the law, so these vandals went
on refusing to pay checks. But Il
good many Of the depositors had to
have money to pay their workmcn and
carry on their business. After the
banks refused to pay the check the de-
get currency for his check by paying >
per cent. Many men had to pay Il
much higher rate to get their own
money out Of the bank. and these viii
lalns were rcaplng an enormous bar
vest out of their villainv. There was
never viler thing on earth. 1t is tax
| ing advantage of the distress
Of the people to rob them, and
the Populist Senators resolved to stop
it if it closed every bank in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, but the
Demo Republican pirates in the Sen
ate made Il stand for these Wall Street
sharks and have succeeded in shelving
the resolution for the present.
