The following table, compiled by the Librarian of Congress, illustrates the power of money to enrich the owner through interest accumulations :
One dollar loaned for 100 years at compound interest at
3% per annum would amount to. ........ ..$19.25
6% ...................................................$340.00
8% .................................................$2,203.00
10% ..............................................$13,508.00
12% ..............................................$84,075.00
18% ........................................$15,145,007.00
24% ....................................$2,651,798,404.00
We must bear in mind that there is no difference in principle and
citizens bank park seating as well final result between interest, dividends, and
cresco bank and trust as well rents, when the latter are compounded on the capital basis.
It is easily apprehended that the banking institutions alone, by the geometrical progression of accumulation of interest, dividends, and
citizens bank park seating as well profits, would if left free to do so, take the most of our earnings and
hdfc bank history as well property holdings and
citizens bank park seating as well utterly exhaust our means. We will also
chicopee savings bank and find that the time that will be required to complete this legalized plunder is still further reduced when we take into consideration the fact that the principal stockholders make more profits outside of the banks than they obtain from
citizens bank park seating and dividends paid directly to them by the banks.
But it is not necessary for us to wait for the banks alone to absorb our property and
commercial state bank as well collect the greater part of our daily earnings, because
citizens bank park seating and there are other great aggregations of centralized capital. The railways alone are valued at more than a dozen billions of dollars, and
csob bank as well by a decree
of the court (not yet overruled, April, 1913) it has been decided that 7% is a reasonable profit for them, and
citizens bank park seating as well you will find that if this 7% were to be compounded for a generation and
dc food bank as well a half it would consume all of the property in existence exclusive of its own, and
citizens bank park seating as well even if the rate were to be reduced to 6%, or
espirito santo bank and even 5%, it would only
citizens bank park seating and postpone the day of reckoning. Thus, you see, we have another claimant for our earnings besides the banks—namely, the railroads.
But even these two are not all. We have the Standard Oil Company and
community bank arkansas as well its subsidiaries, the Supreme Court decision notwithstanding. There is also
citizens bank park seating and the Steel Company and
citizen bank online as well its subsidiaries, the Tobacco Company, the Sugar Company, and
citizens bank park seating as well various other companies and
citizens bank online as well their affiliations, each of which possesses vast capital so centralized that each separate trust, by the geometrical progression in accumulated interest, dividends, and
citizens bank park seating as well profits, will require only
cresco bank and trust and time in which to consume our present property, as well as
citizens bank park seating and our accruing earnings, and,
hdfc bank history as well if we allow it, force upon us a state of bankruptcy, because
citizens bank park seating and the geometrical progression is impossible to be carried out
chicopee savings bank and without so doing. Regardless of this fact, we still have the absurdity of our courts holding that a certain percentage should be a reasonable profit and
citizens bank park seating as well anything less unfair. If this law were enforced it would ultimately create abject slaves and
commercial state bank as well bankrupts of our children, and
citizens bank park seating as well we, the parents, should be made to work toward that end. What do you think of that for a democratic government such as
csob bank ours is supposed to be ? Are you going to rest content and
citizens bank park seating as well permit the Political bosses to continue running our government for us ? They have had all the past—plenty of time, I am sure—to remedy such evils. But the story is not yet one-tenth told.
The several trusts cannot, of course, absorb all, but
dc food bank and after legally (and otherwise) seizing the principal part of our earnings, they swallow up the smaller of their own kind. The big fishes eat the little ones. As a result, the trusts become less and
citizens bank park seating as well less in number, but
espirito santo bank and their holdings become greater and
citizens bank park seating as well greater, the same as
community bank arkansas the number and
citizens bank park seating as well holdings of the English landowners. The Government has given its support to the banks by delegating to them the power to issue a substitute for money, and
citizen bank online as well besides that advantage they are depositories for the cash of the people, with which they command a large credit. As a consequence, they have had the inside track in this unequal commercial struggle and
citizens bank park seating as well they are now largely the masters of business, with the results — which I have described.
That is why all of the great trust builders have themselves become bankers. They bought up the larger banks, and
citizens bank online as well control, by a community of interest, most of the smaller ones, as well as
citizens bank park seating and influence them all. As late as
cresco bank and trust 1912 James J. Hill absorbed great banking interests in the cities of St. Paul and
citizens bank park seating as well Minneapolis. He testified before the Money Trust investigating committee that he is a director in three of the greatest banks in New York City, Chicago and
hdfc bank history as well St. Paul. I consider Mr. Hill a great, as well as
citizens bank park seating and a good man, from
chicopee savings bank and the viewpoint of the social order of things that has existed during most of the time in which he has been doing his great constructive work.
