WALL STREET FIGHTING
THE CURRENCY BILL

The National City Bank Of New York
and that influential group OF banks
which represent especially the Stand,
ard Gil Co, and other huge financial
interests, is flooding the country with
literature in opposition to the admins
tration currency bill. AS is well known
this new currency bill will take the
financial control OF the country out OF
the hands of Wall Street and place II
absolutely in the hands OF the govern
ment. Placing the control OF the
finances Of the country in the hands OF
the government where it belongs IS
what Wall Street calls placing the con-
troll in the hands of 1.-THE politicians.
The Postoffice department is controlled
by the government Tor politicians as
they call it J and it is run absolutely IN
the interest of the people, and so will
the currency Of the country be con-
trolIed in the interest of the people
when the currency bill becomes a law,
as it undoubtedly VIII, and there will be
no more panics nor hard times there
after. With the exception of the Wall
Street group, the other banks of the
country are heartily and enthusiastic
ally in favor of the administration
currency bill, and the Southern and
Western bankers have so expressed
themselves in emphatic terms.
