for each thirty dollars in property and
following out that ratio We should

per capita circuation and if such were
the case there would never be any
panics or hard times in the country
with its great resources and energetic

AS was to be expected the King of
Wall Street denied that any such
thing as "A Money Trust existed,
but when the enormous wealth and IN
dustrial prosperity which he CONTROLS
is considered it is found that there is
not a great deal Of industrial prosperity
o. large value in the country but what
Morgan is more or less interested in.
Testimony before this committee shows
very plainly that the large bankers are
trying all they can TO get absolute con-
troll of the issue and circulation of ell
the money. 1t is the function of the
Government to issue money and this
function belongs to the Government
alone.
But the bankers Of the country are
trying their best to usurp this function.
and thereby control the affairs of the
nation.

In the thriving republic of France
there is a circulation Of forty dollars
per capita, that is. there is forty dol
lars (S4O.) for each man woman. and
child in France and only thirty-tive
(SS5) here. This is the largest per
capita cirucaltion IN the world, and as
France is densely populated, forty
dollars per capita circulation is equal
to about fifty dollars in this country.
and as a result of this large circulation
France has never been known to have
a panic in times of peace, and her peo-
pie are more prosperous than any ma
tion in Europe. There is splendid
opening at Washington for some
