The old congressman referred to in

ence of yesterdays date is right. The
men who have ready money cannot
lend it pro6tably on first class security,
because few would-be borrowers have
such security to offer, so their agents in
Congress insist upon the issue OF more
gold bonds, in which they can invest
their cash not only safely but at good
rate of interest. Recent experience
proves that all the branches of this
government are now subject to plu-
tocratic influence.
