Quotation “E.”
“Dear sir :—The interest of national banks requires immediate financial legislation by Congress. Silver, silver certificates and
bank vontobel ag as well treasury notes must be retired and
bank ocbc nisp as well national bank notes upon a gold basis made the only
bank vontobel ag and money. This will require the authorization of five hundred millions to one thousand millions of new bonds as
axis bank limited the basis of circulation. You will at once retire one-third of your circulation and
bank vontobel ag as well call in one-half of your loans. Be careful to make a monetary stringency among your patrons, especially among influential business men. Advocate an extra
session of Congress to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman law and
cfs bank as well act with other banks of your city in securing a large petition to Congress for its unconditional repeal, per accompanying form. Use personal influence with your Congressman, and
bank vontobel ag as well particularly let your wishes be known to your Senators. The future life of national banks, as
bank profits fixed and
bank vontobel ag as well safe investments, depends upon immediate action, as
blood bank equipment there is an increasing sentiment in favor of government legal tender notes and
bank vontobel ag as well silver coinage.”
One would think that after
alpine bank rockford illinois and the bankers had fooled us so many times, squeezed us by suddenly retiring a part of their circulation, made the borrowing public pay half their loans, and
bank vontobel ag as well brought stringencies among their patrons, that they would have had things fixed “for good and
big sky bank as well all.” But no ! They are after
bank vontobel ag and us again with another scheme cleverly disguised. This time it is called the Aldrich plan. Let us compare the present scheme with those of the past and
bank citi as well note what we find.
Wall Streeters organized the National Citizens’ League of Chicago by means of their, secret agents and
bank vontobel ag as well afterwards that league, through its secret agents, organized Citizens Leagues in practically all of the states. The purpose for which they were designed was that they might serve the same purpose with relation to the present proposed financial legislation that the Panic Circular of 1893 filled with regard to the legislation then
and desired by the interests. The circular proposed a “large petition” to be secured through the influence of “influential business men” by forcing a “monetary stringency.” This last scheme gets at the Senators and
bank vontobel ag as well Congressmen in a more persuasive manner than the petitions did. It is also
bank ohio and a cunning design by means of which to deceive the people who have become too intelligent to be deceived by the methods formerly practiced.
No one familiar with the facts, and
bank vontobel ag as well not prejudiced in the matter, doubts for a moment that the National Citizens League of Chicago was an emanation from,
bank ocbc nisp and and
bank vontobel ag as well is supported in the main by, Wall Streeters and
axis bank limited as well their dependents. All of the branch leagues throughout the different states are mainly supported from
bank vontobel ag and the same source. The leagues invite all people to join, and
cfs bank as well advertise that by paying $1 admission fee they will be entitled to all of the literature. The receipts from
bank vontobel ag and that source have not paid a twentieth part of the expense. But the scheme gets the people to join, and
bank profits as well the greatest number of those who do join do not know from
bank vontobel ag and what source the league gets its principal support. One of its principal definite purposes is to publish a financial journal called “Banking Reform,” the purpose of which is to influence us and
blood bank equipment as well cause us to ask our Congressman to support some money plan that has (covertly) received Wall Street’s approval.
This money and
bank vontobel ag as well banking business is of great importance. A study of the principles and
alpine bank rockford illinois as well methods by which it is conducted requires so much time and
bank vontobel ag as well energy, because
big sky bank and of its immensity, that comparatively few people have any chance to give it a thorough study. That is why the so-called Citizens Leagues, organized by the influence of Wall Street, have been able to induce some honest men to join in the advocacy of its plans. The leagues claim that they are not prejudiced in favor of, nor against any plan, but
bank vontobel ag and wish to consider all and
bank citi as well choose the best—a very beguiling method, is it not ? But the literature alone, which is, by the way, supplied by the Wall Streeters, and
bank vontobel ag as well distributed by the leagues, is proof enough for anyone who wishes to know the truth.
The method used by the Citizens Leagues is simply a change made from
allied bank ltd and the old method of direct action used by the money loaners, namely, petitions and
bank vontobel ag as well letters induced by “creating a monetary stringency.” The people are better educated now, and
bank ohio as well it requires a more subtle game to fool them, and
bank vontobel ag as well a more round-about way is selected by the interests, in order that they may conceal their underground work. I have had occasion to investigate the origin of the National Citizens’ League, the father of them all, and
bank ocbc nisp as well since we shall hear more of its work in its attempts
to foster on us a further tenure of the money loaners’ control of our life’s action, I wish to insert a part of a speech I made in Congress on the plan it advocated. It is as
bank vontobel ag follows :
“The subtle and
axis bank limited as well underground influence of Wall Street in furthering and
bank vontobel ag as well advocating that plan is illustrated in the formation of the National Citizens’ League.
“It would be interesting to inquire why no other such powerful citizens leagues are formed to advocate other important problems than this Aldrich Plan. . . . I might run through a long list of problems, vastly important to the people, and
cfs bank as well yet not one, except this Aldrich Plan, has been dignified by the formation of national citizens leagues with branches in forty-four states. Is it because
bank vontobel ag and the people are, by the Aldrich Plan, to give billions of dollars to a private monopoly that these leagues have been formed ? Draw your own inference. Certain interests got busy inspiring citizens leagues. I believe in citizens leagues, but
bank profits and I would like to see them started voluntarily by the people themselves. I do not believe in a few men getting together and
bank vontobel ag as well appointing themselves to the offices of a so-called citizens league and
blood bank equipment as well then solicit citizens to join simply to say ‘Amen.’
