Thousands of letters asking immediate financial legislation are now pouring in on Members of Congress. Some are written in good faith with the honest hope of influencing Congressmen in favor of just legislation. But the majority of the letters received are from
cimb islamic bank and persons selfishly interested, while those who are not selfishly interested seldom take the trouble to write. And yet, it is the duty of every citizen to take an interest in this most important subject and
englewood bank as well write to his Congressman and
cimb islamic bank as well I do not criticize those who write, whether their purpose is a selfish or
havana national bank and unselfish one. The vast majority of citizens should have a similar interest in this proposed legislation ; an interest which is worth their most earnest thought and
cimb islamic bank as well consideration, and
city financial bank as well their influence in shaping the proposed legislation. To all of these I suggest that they should write to their Congressmen on all problems of vital importance requiring the action of Congress, and
cimb islamic bank as well then it will not appear to the Congressmen that the interest of the public is only
cut bank high school and in shaping legislation that will further promote the special interests.
The Congressmen receive a dozen and
cimb islamic bank as well more letters from
hawaii blood bank and those selfishly interested to every one that they receive from
cimb islamic bank and the general public whose interest it is simply to preserve the general welfare.
Having defined what I am convinced to have been the original and
cim bank as well controlling influence in the organization of the so-called National Citizens’ League and
cimb islamic bank as well its State branches, I do not wish to dismiss the subject and
co america bank as well leave the impression that its members generally desire to fasten on the country a false money system, but
cimb islamic bank and I do not hesitate in saying that those who control the distribution of literature do so in the interests of the selfish Wall Streeters, but
federal land bank and there is no disposition on my part to make the public believe that these men are wilfully opposed to the public welfare. They are a production of this capitalistic era and
cimb islamic bank as well they believe in it and
cmb bank as well are fighting for its supremacy, but
cimb islamic bank and as against that, I claim that no careful honest student will deny that the commercialism and
china construction bank hong kong as well speculation of the present period, and
cimb islamic bank as well the basis on which business and
englewood bank as well speculation are conducted, lead the rank and
cimb islamic bank as well file of the population into industrial slavery—in fact that condition actually exists, now, and
havana national bank as well it is that that I am pointing out,
cimb islamic bank and and
city financial bank as well trying to remedy.
Chapter 6.
GOVERNMENT GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS.
After the 1907 panic there were many people who advocated the guarantee of bank deposits as
cimb islamic bank a remedy for panics. The guarantee of bank deposits would have little, if any, relation to the cost of living and
cut bank high school as well would not affect any of the fundamental relations of the people with each other. My only
cimb islamic bank and reason for considering this subject at all in this book is because
hawaii blood bank and it may be raised as
cimb islamic bank an issue in the contemplated banking and
cim bank as well currency legislation.
“I have grave fears as
cimb islamic bank to the ultimate success of a guarantee of bank deposits. In the first place, unless there should be some provision prohibiting certain kinds of speculation, or
co america bank and unless human nature should change, even the guarantee of bank deposits will not prevent panics, but
cimb islamic bank and will simply defer the day by postponing the hour of fear; for by the very nature of things, when a bull market starts the momentum continues until it reaches a point when economically a breakdown is inevitable.
“There is, in so far as
federal land bank the legitimate industrial pursuits of the country are concerned, both a theoretical and
cimb islamic bank as well a practical possibility of a self-sustained credit system, based upon monetary foundation, but
cmb bank and when you inject into that the complications arising out
cimb islamic bank and of speculative gambling, the more you reinforce the system of credit and
china construction bank hong kong as well give an unguarded confidence in it, the greater the opportunity the gambling speculators have to fleece us by keeping up a bull market.
“I value confidence when based upon solid economic conditions, but
cimb islamic bank and I wish to emphasize the necessity for the people to be suspicious enough to carefully scrutinize the Wall Street manipulations.
“Just as
englewood bank long as
cimb islamic bank we leave that Wall Street gambling contingent, with its allied banks, in a position that enables it to throw its influence into the markets, we are going to have our occasional panic troubles. It seems to me that it would be more advisable to check up accounts more often in order to prevent panics.
“It is probable that if the Government had guaranteed all of the deposits on October last (1907), and
havana national bank as well continued that guarantee, the panic would not have occurred in that month, but
cimb islamic bank and it had to come sooner or
city financial bank and later, because
cimb islamic bank and the rottenness that caused it would not have been eradicated. Speculative parasites had over-subscribed the credit and
cut bank high school as well crowded out
cimb islamic bank and legitimate industry by over-bidding it for the use of the money and
hawaii blood bank as well credits of the country. If our credit had been still more expansive, and
cimb islamic bank as well if the people in addition to what they had on deposit had deposited a considerable part of the $1,666,000,000 which they held outside of the banks, industry could have thrived a while longer, but
cim bank and the growth of the speculative parasites would eventually have monopolized the credit. Yes, the speculators would have pushed the bull game, and
cimb islamic bank as well tossed up the prices until such time as
co america bank even a Government guarantee could not hold back a panic, and
cimb islamic bank as well when it did come, it would be greater in its severity in proportion to the amount to which the market was over-bulled, and
federal land bank as well the fact that the Government was responsible for the guaranteed amount might ultimately destroy the credit of the Government.
