not subject to the greed and monopoly
OF q money-trust, or OF private specu-
lators: system OF interconvertible
bonds and currency provided by gov
ernment,-the bonds to be deposited in
the Treasury and the currency drawn
when needed; and the currency to be
returned when no longer need, and the
bonds reclaimed. What can be more
safe and elastic than that? 1t would
all be in the hands of the people, and
not in the hands of monopoly, to ma
nipulate at will. MS their interests die
tated. The notes so issued, redecmable,
or convertible into bonds, could make
no run on the Treasury for gold; and
with the restoration OF silver to Its
constitutional rights the outstanding
grecnbacks and other Treasury notes,
even If doubled in amount, could never
be q menace TO the Treasury for coin,
or legal tenders.
We need not heed the banks. We all
know there is nothing like leather"
even for fortifying cities by contract.
Government has its functions and must
perform them; md il banks exist, let
them be confined to their legitma tie

the keeping and lending and collecting
of money. 1t Is for government to pro-
vide currency for the people. and to
make and Issue all money. while for
