THE MONEY TRUST.
National Brokers Usurp the
Governments Prerogatives
by she New Finan>
cial Bill.

Do you want to see the whole power
of issuing paper money in the United
States given to national banks? Tha.
Is the plain purpose of the Republican
party. Its leaders declare that the
government must go ont of the bank
ing business. In other words, they
desire to place the absolute control Of
the volume of the money supplied in
the hands of bankers, to be increased
or decreased as their private interests
may incline them. The currency act
Congress is n long stride toward this
favorite scheme of the banking trust.
National bank paper money rests
upon the government debt. represent
ed by bonds The banker draws in
tercst on his bonds and. besides, has
his money to lend NJ interest. He
draws both from the government and
from the people on the same money at
the same time.

power to men to be used for their pri-
vate profit?
SMALL BANKS, LIKE SMALL.
DEALERS. ARE DISAPPEARING.
The Independence of small banks
and bankers is disappearing. a few
great banks practically control the
rest. These giant institutions are
owned by industrial combinations like
the Standard Oil trust. the sugar trust,
the steel trust, the beef trust. Do
you realize what II means 10 take
from the government its legitimate
work of issuing legal tender paper
money and substitute for that money
the private notes without legal ten
der attributes, of banking corporations
owned and controlled by the industrial
trustsI
That is what Republican victory this
year means.

States government. This bank has
become so powerful In national politics
that 1t forced Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage to deposit millions of govern
ment money In Its keeping on the
ground of its political service to Pres
ident Mckinley. The written cores
pondencc on this point is notorious.
This Standard Oil bank carries larg-
er cash reserve than the sixteen ma
tional banks of Chicago. II controls
the money market of Wall street.
VIII you vote for Mr.. Mckinley and
paper money issued by private
banks, or will you vote for Mr.. Bryan,
who says that "the issue of money is II
function of the government, and the
banks ought to go out of the govern
ing business?
Mr.. Bryan has put the question In
language that every citizen can under
stand:
'rhc first question in an industrial
nation IL, Where ought the control of
the currency TO rest! In whose hands
can this almost omnlpotent power be
trusted? Every writer of political
economy, from Aristotle TO Adam
Smith, allows that Il change in the cur
rency alters the price of every ounce
and yard of merchandise, and every
foot of land. At present the banks
and the money kings WELD this pow
er. They own the yardstick and can
make II longer or shorter as they
please. They own every pound weight
and can make II heavier or lighter MS
they choose. This explains the rid
die, so mysterious to common people,
that those who trade in money always
grow rich, even while those who trade
in other things 20 into bankruptcy

The platform adopted at Kansas City
favors the reduction and speedy re-

When he buys n money order.
When he executes n lease.

HESTER'S ANALYSIS.

Month"; of the Season.

New Orleans, Feb 6.-Secre-
tary Hester's analysis of the cot
ton movement for five months of
the season, from Sept 1 to the
close of January inclusive shows
that, compared with the crop
movement last year, Texas, in
cluding Indian Territory, has
brought into sight this season in
round figures 1910 bales less,
while other Gulf States, which in
clude Arkansas, Louisiana, Miss
issippl, Missouri and Oklahoma,
have marketed 41O, 900 less, and
the group of Atlantic States,
which include North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala

crease of $4,000, making the
decrease in the total of crop mar
keted 2,044, 900.

Five Mill Levy This Year.

Columbia, Feb 7.-The ways
and means committee today pre-
sented the "supply bill' fixing
the levy for State purposes at
FIVE mills, no increase over last
year. The committee thinks that
the levy will meet all appropria-
tions and leave balance in the
treasury.
The appropriation bill provides
for an expenditure of SS5S, 963
for general purposes. In addi-
tion to this there provision for
$50, 900 to be set aside for the
purpose of meeting the interest
on bonds which may come due.
This appropriat on is IN de an
nually but is seldom expended.
In addition to the two items men
toned above the Legislature sup
ply bill will call~tor about 500, :
900 to meet the expenses of the
legislature. These three items
will amount t. SS9S, ,6S3, the es-
timated expenses for the year.
The estimated receipts from the
5 mill levy aggregate 1878, 900;
fees from licenses etc, S54, ,472;
1927, 7,472. This will leave a bal
ancs of $2S, 500 in the treasury.
There are several bills pei ding
which provide for appropriations
and if enacted they will take up
the balance, or a part of it.
