Nor is taAt all If the bankers gel
hard up, the government will issue to
them $4,000, 900 additional without
security. In short, the bankers pay
100000, 900 in paper money and re-
ceive from the government $3.50, 100000
in paper money and bonds. This is the
kind of legerdemain that is supposed
strengthen the credit of the govern
ment. Notwithstanding the bankers
contention that the government ought
to go out of the banking business, the
government is to be in the banking
business solely and wholly for the BEN
eft of the banks. The banks issue the
money, the government indorses their
notes and makes them good, and the
people borrow the bankers promises to
pay at per cent interest compounded
quarterly. The government pays in
terest on its debts, the bankers receive
interest on theirs.
The great underlying reason for this
proposed measure for public plumber
if we may believe Mr.. Gage, is to
strengthen the public credit. If we
make our bonds payable in gold and
offer with each million of bonds ST.
100000 in paper money good as gold as
an inducement to buyers, our bonds
would command the markets of the
world."'
Uncle Sam is to confirm" his credit
and reduce his debt by calling in his
alleged promises to pay gold, such as
greenbacks and silver and promising
to pay more gold with interest and at
the same time indorsing guaranteeing
the notes of those to whom he promises
70 pay more gold OF course the gold
can never be actually paid, but is al
ways to be paid in new promises, with
interest and multiplied endorsements
for the banks.
In this marvellous system no resi-
gold will ever be needed. Gold oondS
will always satisfy the demand for
gold, and the bonds will always be
eagerly sought because of the paper
mony that goes with them.
But what is to be the outcome of this
quixotic legerdemain? Simply this,
the establishing of bondholding aris-
tocracy, with the special privilege of
issuing money on the credit of govern
ment 1.-THE people, and wringing inter-
est from the public, not only on their
assets, but on their liabilities; not only
on their credits, but their debt This
aristocracy will literally olive on the
interest of their debts and parndoxical
as it may seem, the greater their debts
the greater their wealth, because the
greater their power to take tribute.
The whole scheme is only refined
method of laying tribute, civilized
mode of conquest, an enlightened style
of subjugation. 1t is war with the cost
of powder eliminated and human
agony intensified. 1t is the automatic
robbery by labor saving machinery. 1t
is system of theft by proxy, under
which the pennies of the poor take
fight as if enchanted.
Since funding has given the bond
eternal life this composite banking
monster, this hybred issued of crossed
corruptions, this mongrel offspring of
fraud and bribery, will reach with
greedy fingers down through coming
time and take the bread from the

When the civil war broke out the
bankers of the United States and Eu-
rope sought to reap harvest from the
necessities of the nation by imposing
onerous conditions for loans. But
President Lincoln cut the knot and
saved the country by the issue of legal
tender government notes.
The bankers took the alarm and held
q convention. which resulted in a de-
termination to discredit the govern
ment issue and carry gold to premi-
um. With the aid of a manageable
senate the effort was successful, and
by refusing to pass acts essential to
the public safety, the senate compell-
ed the house to agree to exceptions by
which the government notes would not
be receivable for interest on bonds or
for customs. Thaddeus Stevens, a
true patriot, chairman of the commit
tee of Ways and Means of the house,
after days of unsuccessful conference,
declared that 1--WE were compelled to
yield" To save the country, it became
necessary to crafty the cupidity of its
wealthy citizens. By these exceptions
Ndemand was created for gold, SO that
at one time it required as much as
So. So of notes to purchase one dollar of
gold, and the bonds which were made
purchasable in notes and payable in
lawful money were bought by the
bankers at from 40 to go cents on the
dollar.
Although the terms of the contract
permitted the government to redeem
It's bonds in lawful money, the contract
was changed by legislation in the in
terest of the creditor so as to require
the payment to be made in coin, which
pave the bondholder two for one on his
Investment.
Even this did not satisfy the money
power by which congress- has been con-
trolled since 1861, but by the demone-
tization of silver, the contraction of
currency, and the disregard of the con-
tract by the treasury department, the
payments of principal and interest
have actually been made in gold, hay
ing now purchasing power measured
by the market value of products near
ly or quite four times as great as the
treasury notes had cost with which,
nnder the original contracts, the debts
were made payable at the time of the
purchase Of the bond.
President Mckinley deslares, "What-
eyer may be the language of the con-
tract the United States will discharge
all its obligations in the currency re-
cognized as the best throughout the
civilized world at the time of pay
ment."
Which means that in disregard of the
terms of the contract, the people of the
United States shall pay foreign credit
Ors and other bondholders, in the re-
payment of loans, four times as much
as the principal of the loans when the
debts were contracted, in addition to
interest in the same proportion.
The retirement of government notes
and the substitution of Understanding
bonds was a colossal scheme of rob
berry, the approval of which by congress
seems incredible il the majority, in
GLIDING the president, were not either
knaves or fools or both. The only con-
,ceivable reason for such legislation
would appear TO have been to impose
