Yelope to any man who will write us

stefan who has made a special study of
men, and we are convinced it is the
surest acting combination for the cure
OF deficient manhood and vigor failure
ever put together.
We think we owe it to our fellow
man to send them q copy in confidence
so that any man anywhere who is weak
and discouraged with repeated failures
may stop drugging himself with harm
full patent medicines, secure what we
believe is the understanding restora-
tive, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING

troit, Mich and we will send you a

great many doctors would charge $500
to $500 for merely writing out a pre-
scription like this-but we send it en-
tirely free.

boundless wealth forced into con-
trolling the politics of the Nation in
order to protect it's own proper in
terests as we'll also as to govern
the financial destiny of the Nation,
it is not conceived how it is posi-
BILE for just and sane men to en-
bark upon such perilous and I'M
tried enterprise: especially so, when
the only need of the time is to pro-
vide currency sufficient in volume
and distdibutable under terms and
conditions and at times and places
to effect the movements of crops,
unusual developments in commerce,
and the stress of panic conditions
which may be done by principles so
ancient, safe and democratic, that
each man in the Nation may know
what has been done, may under
stand the system we can set up, and
may have no advantage over any 9TH
er man through such system, which
will confer every needed benefit
without entailing any of the num-
berless curses proposed by the said
Glass bill.
Fourteenth; Under the Constitu-
ton and under the kind of govern
ment thereby set up, it is neither a
duty nor is it proper for the govern
ment to assume such paternalistic
attitude toward either the individual
citizen or toward the banks and
banking corporations or toward the
people in groups, Or as a whole. as is
established by those provisions of
sad Glass bill relating to the re-
discount by governmental agencies
OF the paper of the banking associa-
lions and the regulation and control
OF current rates of interest and of
discount; because clearly such mat
ters are exclusively within the pro-
vince OF private enterprise and de-
terminable, under our Individuals
tic system of government estab-
lished by the Constitution, by the
laws of competition, the laws Of
movements of commerce and the
laws of supply and demand, in the
open field of private competition.
Fifteenth: But even if it be
granted that the Glass bill is funda-
mentally sound and workable, which
I deny, still it is clear that as con-
structed it will cruelty the country
OHAA0' AhSy are required TO take
now 10 per cent of their loanable
funds and may later be called for
TO per cent more and invest same in
the stock of a regional reserve bank
with only 5 per cent income al
lowed on such investment: and at
the same time not one such country
bank in hundred one year in ten
would have piece of paper which
this bill allows the regional reserve
bank to discount. There are other
provisions equally as ruinous. They
are punished without the slightest
chance Of benefit, and they will con-
tlnue as now to look to their reserve
banks for help
Under the Glass bill all of the
National banks must invest $1O5,-
100000 of their capital in per cent
stock of regional reserve banks, and
must deposit $41O,O0O,OOO of their
reserves with such regional reserve
banks-for a chance to get their pa
per red scounted, and at the same
time have no certainty of getting
even that benefit as it is optional
with the head boards. They may
rediscount for whatever section they
please, thus starving any other sec
ton. | think it bad TO inf1ict such
certain punishment of enforced in
