WATsoN's WEEKLY JEFFERsoN1AN.

The tax payers will have to pay interest on
the bonds, for which the bankers do not pay,
Just as the tax payers have had to pay rent to
Rockefeller for the old Custom House which
he bought" but did not pay for
Then the national banker will issue his
notes on the bonds and will pocket compound
interest on the same.
Thus, he will get interest on the bonds for
which he pays out no money and he will get
interest on his own notes. The tax payers,
therefore, catch it, going and coming.
Again, there are to be $Ioo, ,ooo, 900 in treas
ury notes. These bear per cent interest 1t
is by no means certain that the national bank
ers will not secure control Of these
as we'll as Of the bonds But, in any
event, with real money boarded in the
banks, and in the Treasury, the endless chain
opportunity is afforded. TO escape widespread
calamity, there must be more stuff that can be
used as money. By renewing the squeeze,
from time to time, it seems to us that the ma
tional bankers can milk the Government Of
another issue of bonds, and then another, until
they secure what they are after.
Either that, or they will frighten the coun-
try into yielding to that profigate scheme Of
the asset Currency" crowd.
What an everlasting pity it is that Mr..
Roosevelt did not issue $500, 900, 900 of straight
Treasury Notes, bearing no interest, and linn
tied to no brief period Of existence! But it is
not too late, yet, Mr.. Roosevelt! Do it-FOR
GODS SAKE, DO IT! and nip this silk-hat
conspiracy in the bud
Rise to meet a great emergency, and put
yourself, at once and forever, in the heroic
class of Andrew Jackson!
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-11-28
Here Is the LdlD For 1t.

The Acts Of Congress, 1862 and g. author
lied S45O,OOoooO of treasury notes. These are
called Greenbacks.
The Act of Congress, April II, 1866 provid-
cd that these notes might be retired to the ex-
tent of ten millions per month for six months,
and then at the rate of four millions per month
The Government thus began to burn up the
Greenbacks. But in February, 1868, Congress
suspended the Act of April, 1866 But $44.
100000 Of the peoples money had already been
destroyed.
When the panic of 1873 came on there was
a popular demand for more money, just as
there is now
In obedience to this demand, the Govern
ment issued $26,ooo,ooo more Grcenbacks to
take the place of those that had been burned.
This new issue of treasury notes brought up
the amount of outstanding Grecnbacks to
$3.50 900, 900.
SO matters stood until, in 1875, Congress
provided that the amount should be reduced to
100000.
Again they began to burn up the peoples
money. But in 1873, Gen. Grant put stop to
it. An Act of Congress was passed May 81,
1873 which required the notes to be re-issued
when redeemed"
The amount which was left outstanding was
$34668I 900.
/ ICIC Has uCNCI DCCH d udy WHICH IHC GOV'
crnment could not have put the amount back
to $45o,ooo,ooo.
The Acts of Congress, authorizing that
amount, have never been repealed.
The Act which provided for the retirement
of any of the notes was never for one moment
a1nandatory act. The Government was left
to exercise its discretion in the matter.
And when the Government in 1873, volun-
tarily restored to the country $26,ooo,ooo Of
the money which had been destroyed it put the
proper construction on the Act of Congress-
The mandatory acts of 1862 and ought to
be obeyed.

Uncle Obadiah.

the playth1ng OF such smooth articles as F1amp
McWhorter, Barbour Thompson, and Major
J. F. Hanson.
Consequently, the railroad commission came
in for much target practice during he cam
paign of last year. Heavy guns werc t. aimed
upon it, and the batteries "volleyed and tnun-
dcred." When the fight was over, the cons
mission was believed to be in a sta:e of dis
mantlement, and comprehensive demolition.
Few of us had any thought of anything being
saved from the wreck. Little indeed did we
think that when the clouds of smoke lifted,
and we could take account of casualties, that
our bombarded commission would be found
serenely occupying its position, and that only
one man on their side had been hit.
Warner Hill was heard to whisper, "Never
touched me-" Uncle ODE Stevens smiled
sweet smile, as he assured his anxious friends
that he hadn't received a scratch
Joe Brown, indeed, had been laid out; but
the Commission might we'll plume itself on
having saved 'the best two out Of three"
Now, it must occur to everybody that if the
old commission of three had been the tool Of
the foreign corporations which exploit the
state the situation could not be mended by
allowing majority of the old commission to
remain in office.
Confronted with this self-evdent PROPOSE
ton, the Governor had to do one of two things:
He had to remove Stevens and Hill, to make
way for two better men, or he had to increase
the number Of the commissioners, so that the
two Objectionable men might be thrown in a
minority.
The Governor chose the latter alternative,
thus adding largely to the burdens of the tax
payers, without adding any real strength to
the commission.
Hill and Stevens are either H+ for +hA;~
places, or they are unfit
If they are fit, then the Governor should
simply have appointed a good man in Joe
Browns place, and allowed the number Of
commissioners to remain as it was.
But if Hill and Stevens are unfit for their
places, then the Governor ought to have dis
missed them, as he did Joe Brown
Two unfit men ought not to have been left
where they may do great harm to the people,
Consider, for example, how much the Gov
ernor is going to be embarrassed in the matter
of the Georgia Railroad.
Uncle Obadiah during Terrell's administra-
ton, made what he claimed to be an exanlina-
ton of this poor old rundown concern, and
pronounced its physical condition good. Those
who talked of rotten ties, missing bolts, dilap-
idated road-bed, etc., were virtually pro-
nounced to be slanderers
But the wrecks continued to come, one aft
er another, SO fast that the new commission
had another examination made This time
the report fully sustained the assertions of
those who declare that the condition of the
railroad is terribly bad.
The new Commission ordered repairs made.

Another Endless Cham.

that the paper money, ISSUED to pay Tor silver
bullion, must be redeemed in gold, when the
holder demanded it, the National Bankers COM
PEELED an issue of $262 100000 of bonds, upon
which their immediate profit was about $I6,-
100000.
The law provided that these silver-purchase
notes should be redeemed in silver dollars,
coined out Of the bullion bought with the
notes, but President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle blandly ignored the law.
BY Treasury ruling a Gold Reserve had
been set aside There was no law for it. The
excuse was that somebody might want the
Greenbacks redeemed But there was not
soul who wanted any Greenbacks redeemed"
Even had there been anybody who wanted his
Greenbacks redeemed, the law gave the Gov
ernment perfect right to swap silver for the
paper
But John Sherman, the Republican, had gone
over to the Gold Standard men, and he had
created a Gold Reserve, while he was Secre-
tary of the Treasury And on this matter,
upon all other matters Of national Importance,
the Democrats were in accord with the Repub
1icans. Therefore, President Cleveland was
determined to maintain the non-legal Gold
Reserve.
Now see how the National Bankers forged
their endless chain:
They went to the Treasury with paper mon
cy and demanded that it be redeemed" in
gold. Carlisle gave them gold day by day,
until the Gold Reserve became impaired"
Then, of course, it had to be increased. So the
Government issued bonds and the bankers who
had taken the gold out of the Treasury, put
it back and got the bonds Then they came
with paper money again and took the gold out
again Then, the Government issued more
bonds, and gave them to the same bankers, to
get back the same gold.
There was no end to the chain, you see
The shameful illegal thing went on, until
such a clamor broke out all over the country
that the sill-hat rascals got frightened and
stopped. But they had saddled an unneces-
sary debt of $262, 900 on the tax payers be-
fore the endless chain was taken off.
But has not President Roosevelt given these
same national enemies another endless chain!
We fear that he has.
The Treasury will issue SI5oOoo,ooo in pa
per. This will bear interest The $5o,ooo,ooo
of Canal Bonds will bear 2 per cent. The
bankers will buy them, and no money will &C
tually pass. They will buy those bonds as the
Rockefeller bank bought that old Custom
House in New York. They will place the
amount Of the purchase money to the credit
of the Government on their books. Or,n cash
is paid, the Secretary will hand it back, as a
deposit. Like the deposits they already have,
it will be kept. They will use it in their BUSH
ness paying no interest for it.
In other words the national banks will get
the bonds for nothing, just as Rockefeller's
bank in New York got an eight million dollar
piece of our real estate for nothing.
