The Southern Rurazist praises the bill.
WHY?
Even at per cent interest, and without
compounding, the national bankers are green
simty maizzlon dollars O. gear, by this Demo
cratic measure. No wonder the Republicans
voted for it. No wonder the national banks
rushed into the new system.
The qoea0 system corotireesed all their former
profits, and enlarged the possibilities Of
capitalization.
How are the possibilities Of exploitation
enlarged?
By granting to those favored banks the
right to monetize their paper-their notes,
stocks, bonds, &c-and to duplicate their
investments.
Let me explain:
The banks hold, say $4,000 of promissory
notes, or railroad stock, or factory bonds.
The bank can put these up as collateral, and
dr0qO money on them to the full face value,
$4,000 The collateral continues to draw
interest. or dividends, and these 90 to the
owner The $4,000 In money which he draws
on the collateral will be loaned out at interest,
and Of course he gets that, also. Consequently,
he gets interest te0ice, on the same investment.
The privileged bankers are given the power
to virtually change their property into money,
without losing either the property, or the
income which it earns.
The people pay the dividends on that prop
erty; and the people pay the interest on the
money issued on that property. Thus the
people pay double interest, and the privileged
bankers reap the two harvests from the one
sowing.
Which will come out ahead on that game
the people, or the privileged banker?
Surely, The Southern Rmazi8t can see
through the game. Surely, the Ruralist isn't
stone blind. Do you see it, RwraJist? IF not,
why not? If you do see it, why do you praise
it?
But the Ruralist says that the poor banker
will have to keep forty dollar lying idle, as
gold reserve.
0 heavens! Doesn't generous Govern
ment give the poor banker forty dollars in
paper money to take the place of the idle
coin?
Now, let me put it to The Southern Reroz-
ist:
If it is right to allow few bankers to draw
money on factory, a railroad or any other
corporation that issues stocks and bonds. why
shouldn't the landowners, and the owners of
non perishable products, have the same privi-
Iege?
Those who praise this monstrously unfair
new mOney-law, harp upon the fact that the
Government creates the notes and issues them
Yes; but the Government created the $685.
100000 of national bank notes, and issued
them. All the banker had to do was to sign
has name.
Under the new law, the national banker is
spared the pains of signing so many millions
of times. The Government generously saves
the banker all the work, and issues all the
money-tO him.
Practically the only difference between the
Republican law and the Democratic law is,
that the Democrats give to the nrivilnred

AS 10 School Books and the
School Book Trust.

OF the State Board of Education, is quite
lengthy, and is somewhat of a special plea
for the Northern Book Trust give it space,
out of sense of fairness-a principle which
the organs Of the Book Trust do not recog-
nize.
Without undertaking to do for Mr.. McCrory
that which he is so amply able to do for him
self, | would like to ask Prof. Moon few
plain questions
G.) In whose interests have the school
books of Georgia undergone such outrag eously
frequent changes since our Public Schools
were founded in 1873?
Was it to the interest of the parents to
have to throw away the books, almost before
they were soiled by the fingers of the chill
dren; or was it IN the interest of the Book
Companies who wanted to sell more books?
(2.) Does Professor Moon believe that
these constant changes would have been made,
had not our School officers, somewhere, had
a rake-of in the sale of the books?
(3.) Does not Prof Moon know that there
are carloads of schoOl-boOks all over Geor-
gla that we're as good as new when those
books were discarded, and the buying Of new
books ordered?
a. Does not Prof Moon know that the
burden of buying new books has been a most
grievous one to the poorer people, and that
many child who could have studied in the
discarded books, had to quit going to school,
because its parents we're unable to purchase
another full set of books?
(5.) Does not Prof. Moon know that the
meanest tyranny has been practised by many
of the teachers who stand in with the State
Board, and that these tyrannical teachers
have gone SO far as to compel the pupil to
buy new books, when the pupil was offered
the loan of the same books, secondhand?
IF there is no mean, low-down graft in the
purchase of the new books why should any
teacher refuse to allow the use Of second
hand books, of the same sort?
co. If there is nothing in this to the
State School Commissioner, and to the State
Board, why should they so bitterly antago-
nize the proposition to have the State pub
lish it's own School books?
Why should these School officials become
the champions Of the Northern publishers,
as against the children of our State?
Why should they labor to prevent our
children from having textbooks on the same
terms that the State furnishes textbooks to
our lawyers?
The Code and the Georgia Supreme Court
Reports are indispensable textbooks to our
lawyers, and the State let's them have the
books at COST the State being the publisher
Why not give as fair tote to our school
children?
o. If the textbooks referred to are as
Objectionable as claimed, why not prepare
others in their stead? Since when, have
Northern men secured a monopoly of intelli-
gence and learning? If the South is suffer
ing from such dearth of grey matter, and
finds it's high brows incapable of its a, b. abs,
and its Baker, and its "Incomprehensibil-
ity" and it's twelve times twelve are IA, why,
dadburn it, let us fall back on the old Blue
Back Speller, and travel toward Common
Sense, again.
