this connection, we call upon the sta
tistican of the treasury department to
prepare and publish for general infor-
nation table of the increase IN credit
devices, such as capital stock, pre-
ferred and common, bonds. first, second
and third issues, and all other forms OF
credit issued, appropriated or secured
by the promoters thereof; and we sug-
gest that he commence with Standard
Oil, United States Steel, Amalgamated
Copper, together with all and singular
the big and little imitators OF the
captains of finance, the pirates of the
stock exchanges.
eve protest against further legis-
lation by congress an the dictation OF
the banking trust, the prolific mother
of all trusts. The system is dangerous.
1t is class legislation, hostile to the
general welfare. Every financial
panic which has devasted the industries
of the people has been and will continue
to be bank panics. With sound mon
etary system in the United States,

ness of the mines of coal, iron, copper,
zinc, silver, gold, money system that
promotes financial panics is shame, a
disgrace to the nations intelligence,
honor and patriotism.
1--WE protest against perpetuation
of financial system which promotes
panics, breeds paupers and tramps, fills
the lunatic asylums, causes suicides,
ruins homes, encourages falsehood and
trickery; benefits few and robs the
many.

small pile of gold safely enclosed with
steel bars.

bank notes, would be an act of treach-
cry to the productive interests of the
nation of such momentous consequence
to the general welfare, that no sounC
economic law can be found to warrant
or to excuse it,
1.-THE nation is now shivering on the
verge of financial disaster, nor can thai
disaster be long deferred, though the

and out, before the rebellion of an en-
