vaCkE SOME BANKERS MAKE \

cfview for The Rothschilds and Pierpont
| Morgan and the other great gold manip-
ulators of Europe and Wall street TO OPP
nose the reconciliation of silver; but Is
il a good thing for the smaller banks OF
/ me country? Would it be a good thing
the banks outside of the great money
centres Of the country 10 oppose a poll
cy that would be conducive to the great
est good 10 the greatest number? Take
the banks Of Wheeling, for instance
we do not know how they stand in this
csmpaign-but would it be a good thing
fer Them from any point of view to ad-
voca,e a policy that would enrich, mel
themselves, bu, ne central money ma
nipulators Of the world, in London,
/ Paris. Berlin and Wall street, at the ex-
pense Of the people of this country?
t. nigh. De we'll enough from a selfish
money point Of view for these small
| bankers 10 advocate such a policy II
they belonged to the great barking
houses Of these money centres and par
ticipa.ed in their profits from money
manipulation. instead of being their deb
tors along with the remainder Of the
population Of the country.
Where do the banks in towns, such
as Wheeling, expect their profits to
come from through the continuation OF
a policy tha, impOyerishes the country
and enriches only the great money man
ipulators?
It must be remembered that the mere
possession Of money does not necessarily
carry with it the possession of superior
/ knowledge Of government finance. The
question is. do the smaller banks
throughout the country, who have
been led to believe that their
material interests lie upon the
side Of the single gold standard,
really understand what they are about?
We know that the big fish in Wall
/ street and Europe nave been sending
circulars to their smaller correspondents
for many years on this subject with the
intention of making the smaller fish be-
lieve that their Che smaller fishes0 in
teres,s were Identical with those of the
big fish and not with those of the peo-
ple of The country-their deposi.ors and
cus.omers-those from whom thsy get
their business. As we nave said brains
and the ability 10 make money and keep
IL do NOT always go together, and for this
reason the minds of many bankers
throughout the country have been
poiso1e5 by this pernlcious doc
-r;ne sent out from Wall street and
nave srrayed themselves against their
own interests. which is that Of the
country at large, the farmer. the labor
r. the merchant and the manufacturer.
IF these are not prosperous the banker
cannot be: by which we mean the banker
who Is no, one of the big fish who swal-
low the little ones, but is rather in the
position Of the one VINO is to be swallow
cd. Every banker throughout the country
who is no, among these big fish, knows
that when Simon Wall street says,
"tnumps upr the thumbs as a general
rule have TO come up. The smaller banks
suffer from Wall street and European
manipulation as much as the farmer and
the workingman and industry in general.
Their customers. their depositors, their
profits. do no, come from Wall street,
but from taeir own people, and what
Will make their own people more pros
~erous will increase their customers
Geposi,ors and their profits. The in
/ terests of the banks outside the gold
ring are identical with the interests Of
their people. Every one Of these knows
mat whatever connection he has with
the big fish is to the advantage Of the big
FISH, to whom he has to pay tribute just
me same as anybody else. But as we
have said. the shrewd big fellows have
led many Of the little ones 10 believe
that ,hey( the little fellows were equal
ly interested with the big ones Now
le, any intelligent banker who is out
side of the gold ring look over his books
G.s deposits and his loans and he will
see that his interests are not with the
gold gamblers who are milking the
United States Treasury and impover-
ishing the country by contracting the
currency. but with He country at large,
that his interests and the interests of
! his people and the country are identical,
and ,ha- what will make them prosper
Gus will also make him prosperous. The
ordinary banker cannot separate him
self from his custom rs-the people.
Our Republican friends propose to
have q big rally shortly. All the Re
publican clubs for 300 miles around are
invited and YOU can bank on i, cAat
,hey viii all come. Its a case of must.
They will be given free transportation.
