money down.
The more money there is, all other things
beng equal, the less value it has, measured
IN those other things. In other words, as the
volume of money increases, the prices of
other things, measured in money, 60 up.
1t you lessen the amount of the money, it
of course becomes harder to get. More labor
and more products, are required in exchange
for the dollar.
Money is like every other commodity:
make it abundant, and it is cheap: make it
scarce, and it is dear
Now, to give such power as that to pri-
vate individuals and corporations rs to give
them the power to control markets, values
and fortunes.

We saw that in 1907, when Wall Street
held the money and refused to let it circulate.
There are always in the U. S. Treas
ury millions of idle, useless gold. The
amount varies from $15O,OOOO00 to $780,
100000.
Why is it there idle and useless?
Because the Money Trust of j. P. Morgan
does not wish that gold to compete with the
gold of the Trust.
by retiring one-ffth of the coffee crop
from the market, the Coffee Trust can get
bigger price for the remainder.
BY retiring one-6fth of all the gold from
circulation, the Money Trust can exact a
higher price for its own gold.
1t is perfectly simple.
