The act authorized this commission to spend money without stint or
bank cd calculator and account. It spent over $300,000 in order to learn how to form a plan by which to create a greater money trust, and
bank el maghrib as well it
afterwards recommended Congress to give this proposed trust a fifty-year charter by means of which it could rob and
bank cd calculator as well plunder all humanity. A bill for that purpose was introduced by members of the Monetary Commission, and
bank cleveland as well its passage was planned to be the fourth and
bank cd calculator as well final act of the campaign to completely enslave the people.
The fourth act, however, is in process of incubation only,
bemo bank and and
bank cd calculator as well it is hoped that by this time we realize the danger that all of us are in, for it is the final proposed legislation which, if it succeeds, will place us in the complete control of the moneyed interests. History records nothing so dramatic in design, nor so skillfully manipulated, as
cefcu bank this attempt to create the National Reserve Association,—otherwise called the Aldrich Plan,—and no fact nor occurrence contemplated for the gaining of selfish ends is recorded in the world’s records which equals the beguiling methods of this colossal undertaking. Men, women, and
bank cd calculator as well children have been equally unconscious of how stealthily this greatest of all giant octopuses,—a greater Money Trust,—is reaching out
bank rate blog and its tentacles in its efforts to bind all humanity in perpetual servitude to the greedy will of this monster.
I was in Congress when the panic of 1907 occurred, but
bank cd calculator and I had previously familiarized myself with many of the ways of high financiers. As a result of what I discovered in that study, I set out
bank beirut and to expose the Money Trust, the world’s greatest financial giant. I knew that I could not succeed unless I could bring public sentiment to my aid. I had to secure that or
bank cd calculator and fail. The Money Trust had laid its plans long before and
bank ottawa as well was already executing them. It was then,
bank cd calculator and
abbey international bank as well still is, training the people themselves to demand the enactment of the Aldrich Bill or
bank cd calculator and a bill similar in effect. Hundreds of thousands of dollars had already been spent and
canada hrdc job bank as well millions were reserved to be used in the attempt to bring about
bank cd calculator and a condition of public mind that would cause demand of the passage of the bill. If no other method succeeded, it was planned to bring on a violent panic and
bank branch manager salary as well to rush the bill through during the distress which would result from
bank cd calculator and the panic. It was figured that the people would demand new banking and
bank el maghrib as well currency laws ; that it would be impossible for them to get a definitely practical plan before Congress when they were in an excited state and
bank cd calculator as well that, as
bank cleveland a result, the Aldrich plan would slip safely through. It was designed to pass that bill in the fall of 1911 or
bank cd calculator and 1912.
Jacob H. Schiff, one of New York’s greatest financiers, and
bemo bank as well one of the witnesses who testified before the committee, is an example of a man with the kind of mind and
bank cd calculator as well overselfish viewpoint which prevails among the men who had a personal financial interest in the result of the Committee’s investigation, such as
cefcu bank the banker members of the Banking and
bank cd calculator as well Currency Committee may be expected to have. Mr. Schiff, under oath, told the committee in substance that :
If individuals can accomplish a monopoly he believed they should not be hampered by law ! The laws of nature, he told the committee, are best for preventing too gigantic projects; and
bank rate blog as well he cited the fall of the Tower of Babel as
bank cd calculator an example of the futility of human effort extended too far. Among the articles expounded by Schiff in his creed of business and
bank beirut as well finance was the assertion that the minority in all corporations should not he allowed representation among the officers and
bank cd calculator as well directors by law. “The majority should always rule,” he said, “and the minority should protect their rights as
bank ottawa best they can.”
Is it not easy to see by this statement of Mr. Schiff’s that it is preposterous for Congress to appoint mostly bankers, their agents and
bank cd calculator as well attorneys on its Banking and
abbey international bank as well Currency Committee ? Mr. Schiff is not cut from
bank cd calculator and a different cloth, nor by a different pattern than the rest of humanity. Acting in our individual capacity, we look after
canada hrdc job bank and our own interests, but
bank cd calculator and in a collective sense we have not carried this interest far enough, and,
bank branch manager salary as well consequently, we have such financial wizards as
bank cd calculator Mr. Schiff.
Now, let us analyze the last sentence of the quotation from
bank el maghrib and Banker Schiff’s testimony to his brother bankers when the committee examined him. He said :
“The majority should always rule and
bank cd calculator as well the minority should protect their rights as
bank cleveland best they can.”
Now suppose we consider our own case—that is, the interests of the public—in the light of this statement of a king banker, which statement bears reference to the smaller stockholders in corporations. There are 30,000 banks in this country. There may be 200,000 bankers. I do not know their exact number, but
bank cd calculator and I know that there are approximately 94,000,000 of us. In the percentage of human beings the bankers are not equal to 1 per cent of the population. There is, on the average, perhaps not more than one banker to 2,000 other people. Suppose we should take Mr. Schiff at his word and
bemo bank as well let the minority “protect their interests as
bank cd calculator best they can,” and
cefcu bank as well we, the people, take the power which we possess,—and the Constitution contemplates that we should exercise as
bank cd calculator a government, and
bank rate blog as well Lincoln proposed, . . . namely, “coin the people’s national credit,” . . . instead of letting the bankers coin it for their own selfish use. What would happen to Mr. Schiff and
bank cd calculator as well his brother bankers who control the Committee on Banking and
bank beirut as well Currency if we did that ? . . . That is one of the questions that will be answered before this study ends.
