AN INTERESTING OLD
BANKERS CIRCULAR

Back in Populist days about 1892, a
secret circular was sent out by the
National Bankers Association to its
members. One of the bankers to
whom this circular letter was sent let
the "cat out of the bag" and gave the
letter to an editor who printed it.
Millions of copies of this letter were
later distributed by the old Farmers
Alliance.
Recently one of our readres, Mr.. D.
Brandt of Hoople, N. D., sent US
copy of this old circular letter with
the request that we publish it. Here
it is as it appeared in June 1892:
1--WE must proceed with caution and
guard we'll every move made, for the
lower orders of the people are already

far contaminated that we can declare
our designs without fear of any or
gained resistance.
''The Farmers Alliance and the
Knights of Labor organizations in the
United States should be carefully
watched by our trusted men and we
must take immediate steps to control
these organizations or disrupt them at
