"Credit" Currency.

TheChicagONews, which is asnearlv
non-partisan as any newspaper can be
and yet discuss political questions.
says that "The people of this country
have not yet been educated up to the
bankers highly scientific view that il
is best for the government to retire
its own credit currency and gratui-
t0uSly guarantee lot OF credit
currency to be issued by the banks"
This is absolutely true, but the chief
danger lies in the fact that the people
may not be fully aware that a move
t. putinto effect this "bankers' highly
scientific view" has been made, and il
is slated by the Republican party
managers for success in case Re
publican congress is elected. The
McC!eary currency bill is a Republi-
can measure. 1t was framed by the
Republican members of the housf
committee on banking and currency,
assisted by Secretary of the Treasur,
Gage and II. H. Hanna, chief fugle
man Of the Indianapolis monetary
conference. This bill was reported to
the house by this Republican majority
and it has received the endorsement
o the newspapers that are recognized
AS being closest to the administration
Speaking Of the McCleary curreuc,
bill, which is in effect the first step in
legalizing the bankers highly scien.
tiic view," the Chicago Times. Herald
says OF it, "No greater issue is before
the people," and then proceeds to
urge its adoption and enactment into
law.
The Republican currency scheme
known as the McCleary bill is the
bankers highly scientific view that
the government should retire al Of
Its credit currency and gratuitously
guarantee lot of credit currency
issued by the banks.' This Republi-
can scheme known as the McCleary
currency bill cOntempiates taking the
issue OF money out Of the hands Of
the general government and giving it
over tothe national bankers, enabling
them to manipulate the money supply
as best suits their purpose. How will
these banks benefit by having control
OF the supply OF currency? They will
contract the supply and force prices
down. Then they will load I'D on
property at the deprecated prices.
Then they will initiate the supply OF
currency and prices will 20 up. Then
they will unload at the appreciated
prices. Having done this they will
begin at the beginning again. and
keep it up until they have secured all
the money, credit and coin, in the
country. A farmer once bought an
additional quarter section. When
asked why he did sohe replied that he
wanted to raise more corn to feed to
more hogs to sell TO get money to buy
more land on which to raise corn to
feed more hogs to sell 10 order to gel
money to buy more land on which to
raise more corn-and so on until the
Almighty chooses to put stop to his
hOggishness.
As an endless chain scheme for the
spoliation of the people the Republi-
can measure known as the McCleary
currency bill takes the entire bunnsry.
II Republican congress is elected
next Tuesday the McCleary bill will
be enacted into law and the national
banks given:supreme control of the

The organizationof new trusts and

50 rapidly that even the daily pr IS
