of bank notes is the gold reserve, which must al

The power that the financial lords of
the United States have through the
federal reserve system staggers the
imagination. Every farmer owes it to
himself, and as patriot to his country,
to study and understand this power,
which can, at will, make or break the
farmer, the worker and the business
man. It was used last fall and winter
and this spring to bring about defa-
tion, of which farmers were Intention
ally made the first and worst victims.
It is not hard to understand the details
Of this monopoly and it's danger, as
John Lord explains them in this arti-
Gle. His plain, clear style of writing
enables any one who can read to mas
ter the facts. You will be astonished
at the situation which exists.
Be sure to read it all!

monopoly the power of sovereign
ty-sOvereignty greater than that
possessed by king or car on the
face of this earth. The power
may be used for good or the power
may be abused. The point is, that
the power is there-the power to
create money and the power to
destroy it; the power to give cred
it and the power to refuse credit.
But want my readers to focus their
minds again on the fact that the fed
eral reserve banks possess the right
and the power to issue money. These
banks now exercise THE SOLE power
to issue money, and the kind of money
they issue is paper money. If you
have any paper money in your pocket
look at it. The chances are you will
find that all of your SIS bills and bills
of higher value are federal reserve
notes. There are some old greenbacks
still in circulation. There are some
national bank notes. But they are so
few in comparison with reserve notes
that you seldom see them. All of the
metal, gold and silver, is now in the
federal reserve bank vaults or in the
government treasury, except small
coin and some silver dollars. Our
money in use is paper money. 1t
ought to be paper money, for paper
money is the handiest kind of money.
But our paper money is NOT govern
ment money. It is BANK. money.
Every dollar of it in use pays a tribute
in some form to the money monopoly.
Some 40 years ago there was a po-
litical sect in this country known as
the "Greenbackers." These very pecu-
liar people contended that the govern
ment should make money out of a
cheap material instead of an expen-
sive one. They insisted that paper
was the cheapest, most convenient and
therefore the best material from
which to make money. The Green
hackers proposed that the government
issue money in sufficient quantity to
satisfy business requirements and that
the value of the money be regulated
by the quantity issued. They insisted
that it was the quantity of money in
circulation that governed the purchas-
ing power of money, and not the ma

this intent by the testimony of John Shelton Will

was by virtue of his Office as comptroller of the
treasury member of the cederal reserve board.
1t is now in order to study the federal reserve

serve banks we can not understand the proc

al reserve act was adopted by congress in 1913
and approved by President Wilson on Decem-
ber % of the same year. BY this act the con-
troll of the currency, the power and the right
to issue money, was transferred from the con-
gress, where such power was lodged by the
Constitution, to the federal reserve banks. The
American fathers when writing our COnstitu-
tion put into that document language like this:
Congress shall have power to issue money and
regulate the value thereof" In 1918 congress,
by enacting the federal reserve law, delegated
its own power to issue money to the federal re-

The government thus becomes participant
in the exploitation of the people. After the
heart of the melon has been consumed by the
banks, the government gets that part of the
melon near the rnd, where the seeds are locat-

could expect banks and bankers to devise.

CAN ISSUE MONEY
ON GOLD RESERVE

The federal reserve system has two
principal functions:
1. The issuance Of money.
2. The supplying of credit.
It was claimed by the sponsors Of
the reserve system that when the re-
serve banks were in good running Or
der they would be able to supply all
the credit needed either by the. gov
ernment or by the private business
concerns of the nation.
In order to supply this credit it was
necessary, therefore, that the federal
reserve banks be given authority to
issue money not gold or silver
money, but paper money. The law
provides that for every dollar of gold
or gold certificates owned by the re-
serve banks, these banks may issue
paper money to the amount of two and
a half times the gold so held. The re-
serve banks may issue paper money
against notes, mortgages, bonds, trade
acceptances and obligations of the

The federal reserve act has been
amended 13 times, three times this
year. Each amendment constitutes an
enlargement of the power and scope
of the federal reserve system.
Although the reserve act was ap-
proved December %, 1913, it was not
until November, 1914, that the system
was in working order. The law re-
quired all of the national banks in
existence at the time of the adoption
of the law to become members of the
federal reserve system on penalty of
being dissolved. The national banks
were required to subscribe for stock of
the federal reserve banks an amount
equal to per cent of the capital and
surplus of each individual national
bank. Practically all Of the national
banks Immediately became members
of the federal reserve system. I as
sumo that the national banks paid
their capital subscriptions in gold and
thus Immediately created a gold re-
serve, for without gold the federal re-
serve banks could issue no paper
money.

ANNISTON WORKMEN ANNOUNCE READINESS
 TO DO SQUARE THING

Anniston, March 1.-(special.) )-Unon holders and pipe makers of Anniston have announced that they are willing to meet the foundrymen of the city more than half way in order to settle the wage differences now existing in this city by offering to accept @ reduction in pay which will net them as much as an average of A.67 day for work.
 The scale proposed by the foundrymen, according to union officials, has been set at s412 day, and as the differences in the two offers amounts only to 55 cents day, it is believed that an early ad- justment of the wage question will be effected.
 Martin Gwin, president of the molders union of the city, Tuesday announced that meeting was held on Monday night for a discussion Of the wage ques- tion and that the above agreement was made among the molders of the city. The union president makes the claim that that rate is below the price being raid by foundries in Gadsden, Rome, Chattanooga, Birmingham and other places near Anniston.
