Democrats Of the House Rules Com
mittee have put the stamp of disap-
proval on the Gardner resolution for
the appointment of a special investi-
eating commission to pass upon the
alleged unpreparedness of the army
and navy. Taking the tip from the
Presidents opposition to an inquiry at
this time. Chairman Henry wrote Mr..
Gardner last night, saying that the
majority of the COMMITTEES had SON
ferred and deemed it inadvisable to
grant hearings"
Congressman Gardner replied in a
caustic letter. asserting that for the
hrst time in history n member OF Con-
gress has been denied a hearing by a
committee TO which his resolution was
referred. He also informs Mr.. Henry
that you cannot dam the defense
movement. as much as you may damn
it,
Congressman Gardner taxes excep-
ton to Mr.. Henry's statement that he
has consulted with a majority OF the
committee. and II has been decided to
refuse hearings. Mr.. Gardner demands
meeting of the full Rules Committee,
saying:
You. 1 know. are sufficiently IA
miliar wNh the rules of the House TO
know you cannot take such a step
without first calling a meeting of your
committee. This you have not done"

IN behalf Of siI0er, AND 4 GAINST

Socialists
The Democratic President. Mr.. Cleveland,
forced the repeal of the last law that favored
silver as an equal money metal aojth gold.
At the dctation of J. p. Morgan, the Re-
publican banker, Mr.. Cleveland and all his
following began to fight silver, and to hold
that the silver dollar and the Greenback doh
lar must be ''redeemed' in gold, if the demand
was made.
This redemption of silver in gold was a
direct violation of the express words Of the
law Of 1890, under which silver was coined,
but Cleveland and his satellites trampled
upon the law, at the dictaton of the New York
Money Power.

The raw Labor, and the raw Farm product
have to compete with the whole world,
whereas the product of the manufacturer can
wait for its price.
The manufacturer has the unlimited means

THAT'S YOUR CASE!
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-10-22
A Brief Statement OF Your Case.


American States into third Union, every
one OF the States, from Massachusetts, to- the
Carolnas, had It's own local currencv
Each one OF these separate, independent
States also used foreign coins, gold. silver and
copper.
There was not any national bank, nor any
4aata0ndt paper money, nor any national coin
(2) In making this third Union of the
States, the present Constitution was adopted
as the law of the federation, each State being
otherwise left in the full enjoyment of it's own
soverei gnty.
In the constitutions of the States and in
that of the federal Union, it was recognized
6y erpresS terms that residuum, balance
"a reservoir as it were) Of sovereign power
remained acith the People,
Therefore, both the States and the Federal
Union were created by the People. with def
mite delegated powers, the People holding
back to Themselves and for Themselves the I'M
limited sovereignty a0hich makes .a1od unnoajtes
governments.
(3.) Your forefathers in creating the
third Union of the States established a sys-
tenn of national finance.
Its component parts were silver, gold, and
governmental paper.
The 8H0er dollar qcas made the corner stone
Of the systemo
Being less valuable commercially than gold,
greater weight of it was placed in dollar,
when compared to the amount of gold put in
a gold dollar
This difference was called 'the ratio' of
coinage)
az For more than 20 years, the money
system of your fathers recognized both bold
and silver as equally entitled to coinage at the
commercial difference between the two From
time to time the Government issued it's treas
ury notes to increase the amount of money in
circulation It did so when Jefferson
purchased Louisiana, when the War Of 1912
was on us, and when Andrew Jackson was
President.
The capitalists of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston tried to usurp the governmental
function Of supplying the country with paper
money, but the Jeffersonians fought the
Hamiltonians on that issue, and defeated
them.
The old Hamilton bank which Jefferson
had combated died natural death at the ex-
piration of it's charter.
The second national bank was fercely at
tackled by Andrew Jackson, John G. Cal
houn and Thomas H. Benton. The contest
conyulsed the Union. and public men, news
papers, &C., were bribed right and left by the
bank
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay led the
fight for the bank, and it afterwards came to
light that the bank had loaned them large
sums. which they never repaid.
Jackson won the fight The speeches made
by Calhoun and Benton sound as though
they were assaulting the Money Trust of
Morgan, Rockefeller, Guggenheim, Ryan and
Belmont.
The Farewell Address of Andrew Jackson,
warning the people against the Money Power
and the national bank idea, sounds as though
he we're arraigning Woodrow Wilson, w. J.
Bryan and William McAdoo at the bar of

extension.
BY this time the bankers had secured such
despotlc control over business that a Money
Trust was suspected. The charge was made
that such Trust existed and that the Nor
gan-Rockefeller banks were at the head Of it,
The charge was denied. A Congressional
investigation was ordered, and the charge
proven to be true
Then the Morgan-RocFefelIer banks de-
termlned to legahze the Trust and to per,
petuate the system of national banks
They selected Woodrow Wilson for their
candidate, deposing Taft who was squeezed
lemon
They elected Wilson, and by the adoption
of the currency bill which Aldrich and War
burg had framed, but which Taft had not
been able to pass, they have legalized the
Money Trust and perpetuated the national
bank system.
Co. During the Civil War the Govern
ment issued treasury notes to pay expenses,
because there was not enough gold and silver
In the world to do it,
This paper money was equal in value to
com, until the Government was forced by the
capitalists Of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston to declare that the bondholders could
refuse to accept it, and that importers could
not pay custom house duties with it.
Thus the Government drew the line between
the soldier at the front and the bondholder in
the rear
The soldier who was marching, enduring,
suffering and rislzing his life was paid in
paper
The capitalist taking his ease and his profit
In his parlor was paid in coin.
There 200s the beginning Of yOur financial
ruin.
a. When the Government legislated
against It's own paper money, it sank under
the blow, and became less valuable than silver
and gold. Then the capitalists forced the
Government to begin to burn 1t up.
Nearly $1800,00000O of this War-paper
rency put in its place.
to get, and the people had to pay more cotton,
wheat, corn, labor, &C., to get the d0Iar
whereas the dollar which now cost so much
more than formerly, did not pay any more
debts and taTeS.
Thus the debtor class fell into the power Of
the creditor class The Dollar rose, and the
Man sank.
Bryan used to see this plainly and ezo-
quently. lie cannot see 1t nOao!
(8.) Having put stop to the issue Of
paper money by the Government, the capital
lists put their own due bills in circulation as
money. This went on until these national
bankers were reaping compound interest on
their debts, to the amount of $75O,OO0, O0O
Under the new Wilson Bryan law, these due
bills Of the capitalists BECOME A PER-
M4NENT PART or DUB NATIONAL
MONEY!

of the Government, the capitalists began
