FINANCIAL PANICS;
CA USES AND EFFECTS
By A. C.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I think the subject of financial panics,
their causes and thsir effect Is a very
appropriate subject for discussion at
this time, which witnesses a most ab
surd condition In the money centers of
the state and the nation.
The very Idea of a financial panic In
the midst of the most prosperous period
we have had within a generation Is
preposterous and would be ridiculous In
the extreme were Its effects not so se
rious to the great masses of the peo
ple'.
What are the conditions of our finan
cial matters at this time? All the
money tied up, none to be had to move
the great crops of the nation, which
are being marketed and seeking a mar
ket. as they always are at this season
of the year; clearing house certlflcatqs
being circulated as practlcsliy the only
money available as our medium of ex
change and to pay our debts and raise
the mortgages from our homes and our
farms.
What are the causes of such condi
tions? To give an Intelligent answer
to this question, we must first know
something of the national banking sys
tem. through which the great bulk of
our money supply comes to us, and
something of the discriminating char
acter of the national laws that author
ise the system, as well as the economic
laws governing the supply and demand
of money as a medium of exchange.
It Is an aceepted principle, long es
tablished In government' science, that
the volume of money controls the prices
of labor and Its products In the country
where It circulates.
This principle Is so well established
that but one writer of note In political
economy has attempted to contradict It
In many generations.
With this fundamental law or princi
ple accepted as true. It Is easy to see
that with a full, free and unrestricted
volume of money In circulation In the
United States we will have prosperous
times consequent to good prices for
labor and the products of labor.
Labor being well paid and the prod
ucts of labor well sold, all business
enterprises are stimulated—the farm
er builds better homes and further de
velops his farm: the merchant's trade
Is good because his customers are pros
perous and able to buy hls goods; bank
deposits swell to fine proportions, and
the money lender finds ready demand
for hls money at good rates of Interest,
because It pays the operator to develop
to the fullest extent: the whole nation
Is then happy and prosperous.
On the other hand, with a small and
decreasing volume of money In circu
lation, labor Is poorly paid and thrown
out of employment: farmers get non-
rsmuneratlve prices for their products;
merchants loss their trade; all business
Inte.-ests are paralysed and bankruptcy
and financial ruin follow In Its wake.
With the two pictures above de.
scribed set before us, ke can plainly
see that the control' of money supply
of our country Is a most vital and,
therefore, of most Important concern to
NEWTON.
every cltlxen of our government. Would
to God that every voter In America
could fully comprehend this ono point.
If they all. or a safe majority of them,
could but see this truth as I see It.
and as all honest and well-posted stu
dents of political economy see It, tho
present national banking system, under
which a very few unprincipled and de
signing men control our money supply
and are able, at their own sweet will,
to precipitate a money panic, even In
the midst of prosperity, and disturb all
business Interests, and In a measure
confiscate the property of the debtor
classes, would be overthrown and the
laws authorising such a system be blot
ted from our national statute books
without delay; but I am digressing. Let
us go back to the causes of the present
panic.
In my humble opinion, they are three
In number:
First. Ths rich corporations—rail
road. manufacturing, etc.—having their
surplus wealth Invested In United
States bonds, are the national bankers
and constitute the money power. Un
der the laws and customs governing the
present banking system, they have
vastly too much control over our money
supply; but not quite as complete con
trol as they desire. There Is still 3346
000,000 of non-interest bearing notes of
the government, called greenbacks. In
circulation In competition with their
bank notes. This makes It more diffi
cult for them to corner on the money
supply than If these gresnbscks were
out -of their way. So they are using
the powers they already have to cut
short the money supply Just at t|tls sea.
son of the year, when a great volume
of money Is needed to move the crops
and pay the crop debts, to make It
appear to the people that more tponey
legislation Is needed, and to force them
to urge upon their representatives In
congress to push the passage of the
"currency bill," calling It "remedial leg
islation.” A similar bill was before
congress last session, but failed to
pass.
Now, left us examine Into this meas
ure they desire passed. They want the
government notes, ths greenbacks, all
called In and destroyed; and they
themselves be authorised to Issue their
own bank notes Instead, giving them
full control of our money supply, and
placing our peace, happiness and pros
parity completely at their mercy.
Seconfl. They also want the govern
ment to Issue more thirty-year Inter
est-bearing bonds to maintain the na
tional debt, upon which to perpetuate
their Infamous banking system (It be
lng based upon the bonded Indebted
ness of the government), and to give
an excuse for the tariff tax. vlx.: T<
pay the Interest on the national debt.
Bonds to bank on so they can con'
tlnue to control the money supply, and
thereby oppress and rob the people at
will. A tariff tax, nominally to pay
Interest on the bonds, but which In
reality goes Into the coffers of the rich
manufacturers to make them richer at
the expense of the people.

extortions above! The robber tariff
below! The people being ground to
powder between the two. But another
digression. Let us back to the subject.
Third. The farmers being enlighten
ed to some extent, through their or
ganizations, present and past, and
through the reform press, have Inau
gurated plans to store their products,
borrow money and pay their debts, and
hold their products for equitable and
remunerative prices. This especially
applies to the cotton farmers.
The Canton manufacturers that have
their surplus wealth Invested In Unit
ed States bonds, constitute a part of
the money power, and being desirous
to obtain the raw material as low as
possible, as well as to keep the pro
ducers ss dependent as possible, have,
In' my opinion, aided and abetted in
precipitating this money stringency
just at this season of the year, to
thwart the producers In their plans
and to force them to sell their products
at present prices.
So much for the diagnosis of the
disease. Now for the remedy.
The money power and the subsidised
press say for the people to urge con
gress to pass their (Infamous) cur
rency bill, vlx.: Call In and destroy
the greenbacks, refund the 3110.000,000
of United States bonds that are duo
and payable the present year with a
new Issue of thlrty-yenr Interest-bear
ing bonds, and to authorise them, the
banks of issue, to leeuo bank notes,
their own notes, to supply the country
with money. This done, mind you.
they would have complete control of
our money supply, and could make
and unmake prices of all commodities
to suit their own sweet will. Nothing
but their conscience to check them.
Now Is an Intelligent people wilting
to swallow such medicine as this?
don't believe It. Then what?
Now It happens that through the re'
markablo and extraordinary business
methods of our national treasury de
partment we owe the national banks
great bonded debt, of which bonds
3110,000,000 are due and payable this
year, and upon all which we, the peo
pie, the government, are paying inter'
est compounded every six months.
It also happens, nt the same time,
we, the people, the government, have on
deposit with the national banks 3171,
000,000 In cagh for which they pay us
no Interest.
First Dose—Fill No. I.
Let us, the people, the government,
take enough of our money now on de
posit with said banks and pay off all
the bonds that are due and payable
this year, together with all the Interest
accrued thereon, cancel, burn or other
wise destroy them. By the time this
pill has had time to digest, the patient
will be much Improved.
Second Dose—Pill No. t. (
Let the secretary of the treasury be
ruthorlsed to Issue 31.000,000 of non'
Interest-bearing bonds In denomlna'
lions of 35, 310, 320, 350 and 3100 In the
shape of greenbacks, declare them A
full legal tender for all debts both pub
lie and private, and require that all
current domestic expenses of the gov
ernment be paid off with them, such
as the salaries of all the government
officials and employees, all Internal
improvements, Including public build
mgs, river and harbor and the Panama
canal. Also pay them out for all ths
sliver and gold at the market price that
might be offered from our domestic
mines until a sufficient amount of bul
lion of the precious metals shall have
been purchased to settle all balances of
trade with all foreign countries and
enough gold to be coined Into money
to pay off all the remainder of the
United States bonds as they become
due. When this pill has had time to
digest ths patient will be In belter
health than ever before. But that all
danger of relapse of the patient may
be avoided, ws will now come to
Third Dose—Pill No. 3.
Let congress remove the tariff from
all trust-mode goods of every descriP'
lion and all other goods necessary In
the production of wealth. This pill,
token in Its proper course with the
preceding, the patient will be the llvest
that Uncle Sam has ever doctored. This
done the will of God will have been ac

greatest republic of ths world will have
become a free people. So may It be!
