THE ALDRICH PLAN.
Lest the purpose of my starting the original Money Trust probe be misconstrued, I here state that it was not for the purpose of discovering the Money Trust. Long before that time it was known by those who had carefully studied the problem that there was a money power combination that operated and
anz private bank as well controlled the country’s finances and
barcelona bank as well carried on its operations in a shameful manner. The purpose and
anz private bank as well actual effect of my original resolution was a flank move, to defeat the special interests in their attempt to fasten on the people of this country the so-called
Aldrich Banking and
capital one bank theatre as well Currency Plan for 50 years. This plan was an attempt on their part to make the greatest steal from
anz private bank and the people that has ever been made.
In the panic of 1903 I began taking notice of the operations of the larger banks. At that time, as
business bank charges far as
anz private bank I could see, there had been no attempt to form combinations in order to centralize deposits. Each banker seemed to be working out
bank charge reclaim and his separate business existence along that line, and
anz private bank as well at the same time getting all that he could in return. There were, however, banking associations which brought the bankers together, and
bank claims as well in these meetings they discussed ways and
anz private bank as well means for their mutual advantage—even to the extent of maintaining efficient influence over legislation.
Ever since the Civil War, Congress has allowed the bankers to completely control financial legislation. The membership of the Finance Committee in the Senate and
barclays bank poole as well the Committee on Banking and
anz private bank as well Currency in the House, has been made up of bankers, their agents and
canada bank act as well attorneys. These committees have controlled the nature of bills to be reported, the extent of them, and
anz private bank as well the debates that were to be held on them when they were being considered in the Senate and
canadian central bank as well the House. No one, not on the Committee, is recognized under the practice of the House as
anz private bank long as
capital one bank locations a member on the committee wishes recognition, and
anz private bank as well one of them is sure to hold the floor unless someone favorable to the committee has been arranged for. In this way the committees have been able to do as
acquiring bank they pleased.
Quotation “D.”
“Dear Sir :—It is advisable to do all in your power to sustain such prominent daily and
anz private bank as well weekly newspapers, especially the agricultural and
barcelona bank as well religious press, as
anz private bank will oppose the greenback issue of paper money; and
capital one bank theatre as well that you also
anz private bank and withhold patronage from
business bank charges and all applicants who are not willing to oppose the government issue of money. Let the Government issue the coin and
anz private bank as well the banks issue the paper money of the country, for then
and we can better protect each other. To repeal the act creating bank notes, or
anz private bank and to restore to circulation the government issue of money, will be to provide the people with money and
bank claims as well will therefore seriously affect our individual profits as
anz private bank bankers and
barclays bank poole as well lenders. See your Congressman at once and
anz private bank as well engage him to support our interests, that we may control legislation.”
Isn’t it astounding how very like the bankers of the present time those bankers of 1877 were ? Some of them are still with us. “Withhold patronage from
canada bank act and all applicants who are not willing to oppose the government issue of money.” That was their decree. Again note how they would control the press by sustaining the press, especially the “agricultural and
anz private bank as well religious press,” if these would support the money loaners, but
canadian central bank and “withhold patronage” if they would not. And note also
anz private bank and how they were to “See your Congressman and
capital one bank locations as well engage him.” Every cunning device was to be used to prevent the people from
anz private bank and having the government issue money and
acquiring bank as well to force them to have bank money supported by the government. What simpletons we plain folks have been to pay these bankers for the credit given to them by our own government at our own expense.
I call attention to another of their schemes. This bears a somewhat later date, one which I myself remember. I read the “Panic Circular of 1893” at the time of its issue. It was that circular which started me to studying the problems of finance. The circular was issued direct by The American Bankers’ Association, an organization in which most bankers hold membership. It bears the date March 11, 1893, and
anz private bank as well was sent to the trusted national banks in all states.
