BANKERS ASSEMBLE.
THEY WANT MORE MONEY IN
CIRCULATION.
That Will Not Pay Them Tribute
and Ponder


gentlemen, the bankers, who largely
furnish US with our circulating me-
dunn, and kindly relieve the people of
the necessity of creating money, by
their own government, for their own
use, met the other day, Oct. 10, at Bal
timore, Md, to decide how this country
should be governed-in their own in
terest. 1t was very interesting ses-
sion.
President White made speech. lie
said:
mo class of people are more inter
ested in the material prosperity of the
country"
There is no doubt of this-for no
class gets larger share of that pros
perity. The interest the wolves have
the sheep is profound and intense.
In fact they think more about the
sheep than the sheep do about them
selves. Their mouths fairly drool when
they contemplate them.
Our business is inseparably con-
nected with the conditions of the
world at large, and in fact with all
that enters into the status of the peo-
gle"
We should say SO. That is just. what
we have complained of! Their bust
ness is ''inseparably connected with
the condition of the world at large -
1t is an awful condition to-day, and
they have largely contributed to pro-
duce it. They are the fellows who cir
culated petitions to drive silver out of
the mints and who promised the world
good times-they have got them-for
themselves.
LET us cherish our organization,
and by our presence make its councils
an influence to foster and preserve a
system of exchange that will be the
admiration of every nation and honor
to either a creditor or debtor, and
Herewith we shall be content
That's it. They want to make their
councils an influence. They have too
much influence already. They own
congress as fully as if they had made
the members out of putty. And they
want currency that will be the ad-
miration of the fellow that owes it!
And then Col. Herrick, president of
a Cleveland savings bank, proceeded
to praise that other national infliction,
the daily press He said:
1.-THE influence of the press is best
known and appreciated when it comes
directly in conjunction with or in op-
position to our business affairs. Last
year the attention of this country, and
might say of almost the entire civil
ized world, was turned to the subject
of finance. If the policy of many
newspapers helped to plunge us into
our difficulties, the policy of others
have helped to extricate us. The
newspaper press Of America is the one
great public institution which belongs
to the people and yet it is the exclu-
i've property ofindividuals. 1t is, next
TO our free common schools, the no.
