a situation is unthinkable. Yet We
have its exact parallel-with no less
terrible cOnsequences-in the dOmi-
nation of these bankers.
Search ever so diligently through
out the vast stOrehouse of nature and
you will hunt in vain for such a thing
as money. Never did it exist until
the government called it into life. Ma
ture produces commodities; the law
may confer upon one of these COM
modities or upon several of them,
these legal powers which lift the COM
modify out Of its natural position as
a cOmmOdiay, and give it the artificial,
man-made position which entities it
to bear the name of MONEY. Nature
does not produce armies. It only
supplies the raw material. Just as it
ever has been a governmental func-
ton to create armies and navies, so
it has ever been a governmental func-
ton to create money.
To supply the nation with its cur
rency is not only the governments
prerOgative, but its high and solemn
duty. 1t is a part of the public do
main in the lOftiest and truest sense.
The bankers have invaded it and en-
trenched themselves upon it. Let the
government drive out these insOlent
trespassers and reclaim the public do
main. Let us scOurge the money
changers from the temple and cOnse-
crate it anew to the holy purpose for
which it was created. Let the govern
ment itself create all the money. Ev-
cry dollar thus called into being will
have for it's security the law of legal
tender, the industrial demands Of the
entire country, and the wealth of all
the people
In its last analysis the currency
system which has been fOisted upon
the American people, is merely the
exploitation OF the public credit
yours and mine-for their private
profit. The credit of all the people
represented by our government has
been seized upon by six thousand
bankers. Every sane and intelligent
citizen must know that the govern
ment has no more right to surrender
to private individuals the credit OF al
the people than it would have to hire
out the army and navy to further
some marauding expedition of these
buccaneers of Wall street.
Why has the national banker any
more right to use the government
credit-based upon what you and
produce-than has the farmer, the
merchant, the mechanic, the lawyer,
the editor, the scholar? What right
has the government to take what be-
longs to us all and give it to favor
ed few?
A currency system, based upon the
general credit, would be a blessing to

sick. No matter how old or how great
a man may be he wants his mother
when he is sick. No one else knows
us as well, and no one else can over
look our faults, weaknesses and petu-
lance as mother does. Then no one
else can ever learn to cook like moth
er. God bless our mothers. What
a pity that more of our boys don't
learn to appreciate their mothers un-
til after they leave the old home.
Well, let us make one last long and
strong pull to elect Bryan. He will
turn the rascals out, and we will be
prosperous and happy ever after.

US all. Surrender it to a few, who
use it for their private gain and our
oppression, it has become q curse.
We Jeffersonians have been decried
and reyiled as wild people, asking for
something that was visionary, impraC-
ticable. unlawful-why should We be
condemned for advocating and boldly
demanding that the rights guaranteed
to us by the constitution of our coun-
try should be restored?
To break the letters which the
money power has fastened upon the
people was one of the leading purpos-
es of Thomas Jefferson.
That he did break that power, in
his day, was one of the browning glO-
RES of Andrew Jackson.
It is an astounding evidence Of the
success with which the banking class
has hypnotized the people, that We
the disciples of Jackson and Jeffer-
sOn-should encounter a storm of per
secutiOn when We endeavOr to arouse
the people to a knowledge of their fl
nancial slavery.
The happiest era in the history Of
our republic was the decade which pre-
coded the civil war. The principles
of Jackson and Jefferson were sU-
preme. What We are trying TO do is
to bring back the ascendancy Of these
principles. so that our people may
again be prosperous ami free and hap

The money power, which Jefferson
fought and defeated; the financial
system which Jackson attacked and
overthrow, has come back, as Thos.

royal prerOgative OF creating money
until the Goldsmiths of London brib-
ed a kings paramount into wheedling
him into granting the fatal conces-
sion. AS a matter of historical fact,
the monstrous usurpation of our lead
ing class against which we Jefferson
ians revolt, had its foul origin in the
disgraceful relations which gave Bar
bara Villiers her power over Charles
II. Our forefathers did not intend to
part with the sovereign power to Gre
ate money. Admonished by every
lesson which could be taught them by
the records of the past, they reserved
to the government the great royal
function of creating money, just as
they reserved to the government ev-
cry other attribute of sovereignty ne
ceSsary for the high purpose for which
the more perfect union" was estab-
lished. They denied to the states the
power to make anything else but gold
and silver a legal tender of payment
of debts, yet, today, six thousand ma
tOnal bankers, private citizens
though they are, do practically what
the constitution fOrbids the states to
do. To the extent of six hundred mil
lion dollars, they already have their
personal notes in circulation as mon
ey; under the northumberland bill,
they are given the right to issue an
additional five hundred million.
Think of it!
Morgan, Ryan, Belmot, Rockefeller,
Hartman, are national bankers, as
we'll as railroad owners. Under this
new law they, as bankers, can none
tie the securities which, rs railroad
owners, they see fit to issue. You
cannot monetize land, nor cotton, nor
corn, nor merchandise; but you can
monetize any sort of railroad bonds
which have Oeen gathered up by the
banking association and which the
secretary of the treasury can be per
suaded to look upon with favor. Nor
is this the worst of it. When they are
given the power to expand and con
tract the currency, as the Aldrich-
Vreeland bill gives it, they cannot
only send prices up or down, but can
precipitate a panic whenever it is 20
their interest to do so; thus our gov
eminent has deliberately given Wall
street almost absolute control and ter
ribly dangerous power over the So
100000 people of our republic.
Who would not be shocked beyond
expression if the government should
delegate any other of its sovereign
functions to private persons to be ex-
plotted for private gain? How long
would it be before the flags of revolt
would be unfurled from the lakes to
the gulf, and from ocean to ocean, if
a few Of our money kings are allowed
to handle our army and navy? Such

TOM WATSON ON MONEY AND
THE FUNCTION OF MONEY

Last fall there was a panic, in spite
OF the fact that We had a greater
amount OF material wealth than ever
before Bankruptcy went stalking
through the land and the cry of dis
tress rang from sea to sea. How did
our republican president-our friend
OF the big stick'-deal with the pan
ic? He virtually said, as Mr..
Cleveland had said in 1898: IF moth
ing else but bonds will do you, come
on and get the bonds"
What brought about the panic of
1908? The volume of real money had
been so greatly lessened in cOmpari-
son with the country's need for mon
ey. that it is not difficult to corner"
the available supply. New York did
this last fall. Credits of all sorts had
been recklessly extended. and when
the real money was needed New York
was found TO be in possession of it,
and New York held on to it. Neither
banks nor individuals could get back
their own money from New York
without paying an extortionate price
for IT, How could the situation have
been relieved?
The government should have used its
sovereign power to create money and
should have broken the New York
corner on money by issuing its own
uo,es-just as Andrew Jackson did
in 1887,
When the British were being led
into that death trap at New Orleans
in 1915 and their whole campaign was
falling into wreck and ruin, one of
the generals. who had served under
Wellington in Portugal and Spain,
cried out: oh. for an hour of the old
Duke" There have been at least two
occasions when the American people
might have cried: oh. for an hour
o' the grim warrior who made that
English general feel the need of the
OLD Duke, Oh, for an hour of Andrew
Jackson" =" BY treasury rulings
and by acts of congress our money
system has been revolutionized. The
government has been made to abdicate
one of its most important functions.
10 would not be more dangerous to
delegate TO private individuals the
right TO declare war and make treat
les than il is to delegate the power
TO control the creation and distribu-
ton Of the national currency. Never
did any government surrender it's

RURAL ROUTES AND GOOD ROADS.

II is a proper thing to bear in
mind that the rural free delivery
service costs the government lot of
money. During the fiscal year end
ing last June 80 the expenditures
for its maintenance aggregated the
considerable sum of $34, 380, 900,
which considerably exceeds the an
nual deficit of the Postoffice depart
ment. Yet there is no disposition
TO curtail the facilities thus provid-
ed. On the contrary, the service is
being steadily extended. Last year
for instance, star route service
was established over 1872, 2S6 miles of
road at an expense to the govern
ment of $6,3l4,8 42. Rather more
than twelve years have elapsed since
the rural free delivery was institut-
ed, and during that time it has in
volved expenditures amounting to |
more than 100000, 900. No one
claims that the money has not been
well spent. The point is that the
communities that have had the good
of it should do something for the
government in return. That's no
more than fair. All they are asked
TO Go, all they can do, is to keep
their roads in good shape, and that
is what the government expects of
them. Its acquisitions are extreme
ly moderate and entirely reasonable.
1t is not insisting that the roads
shall be in all respects ideal, that
they shall conform to the standards
of road engineer. 1t simply says
that they shall be kept in such a
that the carriers can trav-
ell over them every day of the year
any undue difficulty or
avoidable delay.

Our Pacific "Sphere."

The Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition,
which has been given favorable con-
sideration by congress, will exploit for
the first In a suitable way our
sphere of influence" In and along the
western ocean. Other exhibitions have
shown visitors the life and the
achievement of our Pacific coast com.
munlties. The Seattle exposition next
year will illustrate the conditions and
progress and display the resources OF
the Pacific states and Alaska, Hawaii
and the Philippine Islands as well.
1t is a cause for regret that so few
Americans have even reasonably
complete conception of the vast devel-
opment possible In Alaska and the
Philippines. The potentialities OF the
Hawaiian group are better known. But
the value of the Philippine archipelago
and OF the great territory we bought
from Russia is still only vaguely un-
derstood. The Seattle exposition, with
its Alaskan and Philippine features,
Will therefore be educational to a de-
gree which will more than justify its

dollars every year, and, while they
are compelled to work, their work
is of no value to the state. A
great MANY theories have been

results. Whenever the prisoners
manufacture an article, they take
that much from honest, free labor
There is but one place where they

working the public roads as may
be proved easily by the number of
road taX-dodgers we have. There
