One thing that shows that the great
financial and manufacturing inter-
ests run the government for their own
profit is the enormous appropriations
TO-. rivers and harbors and subsidies
for railways, while the building OF
good wagon roads which would be
beneficial to the agriculturist class Is
tabooed and denounced as something
with which the general government
cannot have anything to do. 1t shows
the need of party that will advo-
cate the interests of the farmers and
small business men who reside in the
towns and villages. The republican
party is wholly devoted to advancing
the interests Of the financial class and
the great corporations. The farmers
and small business men have no
thought bestowed upon them. They
form a distinct business interest, that
has no party except the peoples par
ty, to fight their battles. When Wall
street is in distress the government
tiies to it's assistance. What the great
corporations and trusts want they al
ways get The government never aids

archist or socialist There is room
for third party in these United
States and the peoples party fills the

THE INDEPENDENT OLD GUARD

was born in Ohio, May %, 1910, of
long line of American parentage,
who, while some of them came from
the south, all were opposed to slavery,
and, in fact, most of them were
black abolition:sts." My first vote
was cast for Abraham Lincoln for his
second term, not being old enough to
vote at his first election. / was an
enthusiastic, dyed-in-the-w repub-
lican until 1868, when began to have
some doubts. In 1873 / went east,
commissioned by General Ord, at that
time commanding the Department OF
the Platte, along with Rev. G. W..
Frost. to raise funds for those suffer-
ing from the grasshopper plague. On
that trip I went to New York, and as
every one did in those days who
wished to raise funds for any philan-
thropic purpose, went to Peter Coop
er. He offered the use of Cooper IN
s,itute for public meeting. What he
said was something like this:
What you say about Nebraska is
true. The soil out there is of mex
Eaustible fertility. 1t is loose soil,
very much like the soil of the Nile.
This is a temporary disaster like a
storm or flooe and the PEOPLE out
there are entitled to assistance" Az
ter a moment or two, and 1t seemed
to me then entirely disconnected with
what had preceded, he went on: but
after all no matter how fertile the
lands are out there, the result will be
that the wealth that the farmers Gre
ate will be taken away from them and
others will enjoy it."
Now that was an idea that had
| ever encountered before and | asked
what he meant He said: John Sher-
nan and few bankers here in New
York have gone into scheme to rob
the farmers and producers and | am
very much afraid that they will sue

SECRETARY sHAw's IDEA


SECRETARY sHAW's IDEA
In an address before the Society OF
Merchants and Travellers at Chicago,
Secretary Shaw expounded his idea
about 'elastic currency" The gist OF
the whole matter is contained in the
following paragraph:
There is now no statutory pro-
hibition against the weli-nigh in
herent right of banks to issue cir
culating notes. This right exists
throughout the United States, but
!. subject to a tax of 10 per cent per
annum. This tax is prchibitory.
If were given authority to form
ulate a measure that would pro-
vide the requisite elasticity to our
present currency system, think
should add an amendment per-
hitting national banks, with the
consent of the comptroller of the
currency, to issue volume of cir
culating notes equal to SO per cent
of their bond-secured circulation,
at a tax of 5 per cent, the same to
be retired at will or by direction of
the comptroller, by the deposit OF
an equal amount of lawful money
with any sub-treasury."
Secretary Shaw as an additional pre-
caution would have these notes made
so nearly fac smile of those now in
circulation that the people could not
tell the difference between them and
by that means he thinks the people
would be fooled into taking them. He
says:
"The only persons who would
know of it's existence would be
the comptroller, the bank and the
few people who would take suf-
ficient interest in the published
statement of the bank to compare
the volume Of circulation with the
amount of government bonds on
deposit in the treasury"
Secretary Shaw must contemplate
the suppression of The Independent
for besides the few people" that he
6esignates, every reader of The In
dependent would know. AS for ths
l,lutocratic papers, of course not one
OF them would ever mention the cir.
culation Of these rag baby notes any
more than they have the discrepancy
in the New York clearing house ant
the comptroller's reports.
