Land. 4"
The hrst question, therefore, IN an
industrial nation Is: eWhcre ought
ennlrol Of the currency to rcs,s In
whose hands can this almost omnipo-
tent power DC trusted! Every writer
Of political economy, from Aristotle TO
Adam Smith. allows that change IN
the currency alters the price Of every
ounce aud yard Of merchandise and cy.
cry foot OF land. Whom can we trust
with this despot;smF Al present the
banks and the money kings Weld this
power. They own the ysrdsiiek aud
C make Il longer or shorter rs they
please. They own every pound weight,
aud can make Il heavier or lighter, rs
they choose. This explains the riddle
80 mysterious 10 common people, that
those who uade 10 money always grow
rich, even while those who trade Ia
other things 90 into bankruptcy.
The third objection 60 national banks
of issue Is that the moment tho bank Is
permitted 10 issue money that moment
II becomes, for pccuniary reasons, the
enemy of any Government paper.
The banks are now urging that the
issue Of paper money is q function of
the banks and that the Government
ought to 81 out Of the banking bust
ness. Our answer Is that the Issue Of
money Is function of Government,
a=d that tho banks ought l. 20 out Of
the governing business. The Govern
mcnt, cannot afford to build up strong
financial interest hostile TO the exercise
by the Government Of the right to issue
and control both the metallic aud pa
