ID THEY EVER?

1t is beginning to gradually dawn
on good many men VINO few years
age were advising the voters to leave
the settlement of the money question
to the bankers as they were the only
ones who understood it, that national
bankers are not financial saints in
spired with a desire for the public
good after all. The Lincoln Trade Re-
view remarks:
There are number of nation
al banks in New York City where
the cry constantly goes up for
more money that do not take out
any national bank circulation at
all. There are other banks in
New York City which, in the face
OF their opportunities for addi-
tional money and government de-
posits, are retiring part of their
national bank circulation because
bonds are high and it is not pro-
fltable to them to carry the bonds
on which national bank circulation
is based. This is selfishness per-
sonifed."
Is it possible that any of the Sound
money fellows ever sto p to reflect up
on the subject of what egregious
idiots they made of themselves when
they attempted to discuss the money
question in the campaigns of 1896 and
1900?
