to run. At simple interest they would
amount to $3.50, 900, 900 each. Morgan
has three bonds and 800, 600, 900 in
bank notes ready for more bonds. He
began with none and now has four.
He starts bank in Sequachee, adver-
tises 800, 900, 900 capital and every fel.
low wants to deposit his little savings
of years in Morgans bank, and they
run over each other to deposit. They
deposit another 800. 900, 900 in his
bank. Morgan already has more than
he can use, but the government is now
issuing few hundred million more in
in bonds to build big guns for when
the boys find out how things are going
the bosses know they will need them.
So Morgan takes money deposited and
gobbles up more bonds to get more
bank notes.
Well, by Ned, if that ism t perpetual
motion l will never see one. Remem-
Der. boys, he is loaning Tom, Dick
and Harry money from his bank all
the time on very liberal terms, only 10
per cent. Remember that when the
canal is finished Morgan owns the
steam ship lines, and again ask who
profits by all this big business.
Morgan now has three million dol
lars lying in the vaults of our govern
ment, and has more money than he
started with. These bonds bear inter
est of 4 per cent, Mr.. Producer, which
you must pay. 1t is fine, isn't it.
l have used only one name, Mr..
Morgan's, but in point of fact these
bonds were divided among different
banks as they are the best and strong
est band of thieves the world ever saw.
1t and all such are divided in proper
tion to the amounts contributed for
campaign purposes to help make these
and similar steals possible. You sure
ly can see from what little / have
said it true, that banking is against
you as workingman. They meet an
nually and unlike robbers of old, who
would meet in caves to form their
plots and plans, the bankers meet in
large cities in large hotels and lay
plans how they can rob the people
little more next year.
You may take the National Bank
ing System as it is, boil it, parboil
it, fry it, stew it, or roast it, sun-dry
it or kilndry it, compress it and
strain it, analyze it and scrutinize it,
and then examine it with powerful
microscope and compare it to the ten
and the Golden Rule
and if you don't decide a charter to
run such thing to be only a rob-
bers' license from the government to
the rich, giving them the right to rob
the peor of part of what they pro-
duce, will give it up and say know
of my countrymen.
A man is not compelled to drink liq-
uor, but he can't dodge the banker.
He is not compelled to play any game
Of chance, but he can't dodge the
banker.
The liquor traffic is a great evil and
should be abolished. 1t will CO. The
liquor habit is usually worse on the
poor fellow who uses it, but the
system robs us not only of our
produce, but robs us of our statesmen,
our preachers, our sons and our daugh-
5ers. 1t robs our statesmen of their
honor, our preachers of their religion,
our sons of their noble principles and
our daughters of their virtue. If a |
poor man or laboring man was to hold
Up banker and rob him of thousand
lollars, he would be criminal, but
he banker by laws holds up his COM
nunity and takes thousand. This is
business and such man is said to be
| good business man. In other words,
f working man lives by lobbing the
ich he is thief; if the rich get theirs
rom the poor, it's good business.
This was my greatest objection to
dr. Hooper, our Governor-elect. The
apers boosted him as great bust
less man, and that bluffed me.
Uncle Sam and our state are des-
erately sick just now. Everybody
nows it, and a majority of our people
re at a loss for remedy. We don't
now whether to give it inwardly or
ub it eternally.
