that ought not to be tolerated in a gov.
eminent which recognizes the doctrine OF
equality before the law. The moment
the government begins to confer special
privileges, those in position to profit by
iavoriteism begin to clamor for legislation
Immediately in their interest, and as a
result the instrumentalities of govern.
ment are used for private gain and the
true purpose of government forgotten,
There is another objection to national
bank currency, namely, that the national
banks are given control over the volume
OF credit money. Power to issue money
should never be intrusted to private indi.
vlduals or private corporations. Jefferson
was an opponent of banks of issue, and
In one Ct his letters declared that his Cd.
position was so persistent that he had
been denounced as maniac by those
bankers who desired to secure this priv
llege from the government. Benton, in
summing up the work of Jackson, gave
emphasis to his fight with the national
bank, and compared his work with the
work of Cicero, saying that, when he
discovered the bank conspiracy, he saved
America as Cicero had saved Rome. by
overthrowing the conspiracy of Catalina
The first question, therefore, in an in
dustrial nation is: Where ought control
OF the currency to rest? In whose hands
can this almost omnipotent power be
trusted? Every writer of political econ
omy, from Aristotle to Adam Smith.
allows that a change i'll the currency al
tiers the price of every ounce and YAM of
merchandise and every foot of land.
Whom can we trust with this despotism :
At present the banks and the money
kings WELD this power. They own the
yardstick and can make it lorger or
shorter as they please. They own every
pound weight, and can make it heavier
or lighter, as they choose. This explains
the riddle so mysterious to common peo-
pie, that those who trade in money al
ways grow rich, even while those who
trade in other things go into bankruptcy.
The third objection to national banks
issue Is that the moment the bank is per-
mitted to issue money that moment it be-
comes, for pecuniary reasons, the enemy
OF any government paper.
The banks are now urging that the is
sue OF paper money is a function of the
banks and that the government ought to
go out of the banking business. Our
answer is that the issue of money is
function of government and that the
banks ought to go out of the govern
ing business. The government cannot
afford to build up a strong financial
interest hostile to the exercise by the
government of the right to issue and
control both the metallic and paper
money of the nation" w. ]. BRYAN.
