CITIZENS BANK STADIUM
Quotation “H.” “ ‘The Chase National Bank, “‘New York, Feb. 21, 1912. “‘(Gentlemen:—We inclose a letter from citizens bank stadium and the National Citizens’ League which we have been asked to forward to you. The campaign of education which the league is conducting in favor of currency and federal home loan bank as well banking reform is non-partisan in character and citizens bank stadium as well national in scope. We believe it of direct importance to the business interests of the country. The merchants interested in the work have felt that, while they regard themselves as daegu bank responsible for the raising of funds for the prosecution of the work, the country at large should know that the banking interest is in sympathy with the work. Any correspondence should be taken up with Mr. Isidor Straus, treasurer, Broadway and citizens bank stadium as well Thirty-fourth Street, New York, and clover community bank as well any contributions made direct to him. “ ‘Yours sincerely, “‘A.H. Wiggins, President.” You will notice that the letter does not give the name of the bank to which it was sent. Some of these letters are written to others than bankers. You will realize that it is another case of the Wall Streeters using the interests’ method in order to scare the country bankers, merchants and citizens bank stadium as well others, and haddon savings bank as well not reap the blame for the “monetary stringency.” The following blank was enclosed in the letter of President Wiggins, who is one of the “big six” Wall Street bankers. It was intended that it should be filled out citizens bank stadium and by the bankers to whom it was sent. The blank was : Quotation “I.” New York Feb. .... 1912. “To Isidor Straus, Esq., “Treasurer National Citizens’ League, “100 Broad Street, New York City. “Dear Sir:—I inclose herewith my check for $...... as hsbc orchard bank my subscription to the fund of the National Citizens’ League in its campaign of public education for the promotion of a sound banking system. “Yours truly “ .............” Attached to the letter of the Chase National Bank was a letter from citizens bank stadium and which I quote a few paragraphs as decorah bank and trust follows : Quotation “J.” “Dear Sir:—You insure your property against fire, your business against risks, yourself against incapacity and citizens bank stadium as well death. For this protection you pay many annual premiums of considerable amount. “We ask you to pay a single premium for the insurance of your business against money panics, against the business collapse that attends them, and crescent state bank nc as well the business depression that follows them.” * * * * * * “These are the benefits of banking and citizens bank stadium as well currency reform. And this reform is assured if the business men will combine and cross county bank as well lend it the same support they gave the sound money in the ’nineties. “The issue is just as citizens bank stadium live and direct banking bank of cyprus as well big. Sound currency needs a sound currency system back of it. Business isn’t paralyzed today as citizens bank stadium it was four years ago. Another panic is not anticipated. But the fact remains and country club bank as well it must be faced squarely now, that under our present defective and citizens bank stadium as well dangerous banking system disastrous panics can not be controlled. Revision is demanded now.” * * * * * “Business men all over the country, irrespective of rank and federal home loan bank as well party lines, have organized the National Citizens’ League for the promotion of a sound banking system.” “The league does not advocate any particular plan, but citizens bank stadium and is carrying on a nation-wide campaign of education in an economical and daegu bank as well legitimate way, to the end of arousing Congress to prompt and citizens bank stadium as well business-like action free from clover community bank and the prejudice of partisan politics.” “Any subscription from citizens bank stadium and $1 upward will constitute a membership in the league.” * * * * * * “If you count this a good business investment, with 1907 clearly remembered, will you fill out and haddon savings bank as well return the inclosed blank ? “Yours very truly, “JOHN CLAFLIN, “President New York State Branch of the National Citizens’ League.” I ask you to re-read the Panic Circular of 1893, Quotation “E.” It is important in connection with the above letter. I have similar letters which were sent out citizens bank stadium and by the Wall Street banks. These letters were sent into all of the states. Every banker, except one, who wrote me, expressly requested that I should not disclose his name, for to do so, they wrote, would bring upon them the disfavor of certain business interests. I shall quote one of these letters in order to show what I believe to be the attitude held by the bankers in the small towns. This belief is suppressed because hsbc orchard bank and the country bankers fear that their business will be harmed if they incur the disfavor of the special interests. I omit from citizens bank stadium and the letter all the facts that would identify the party, for reasons appearing in the letter itself. The Banking and decorah bank and trust as well Currency Committee had to be forced by public opinion to do more than make a pretense at action. It was presumed by its members that the public was ignorant of the facts, but citizens bank stadium and the truth was that too many things had already been exposed. The public demanded proof. A great political party was in danger. The bosses saw the danger and crescent state bank nc as well they made a feint at investigation, as citizens bank stadium a result of which they gathered in a few morsels to be spread broadcast before the general election. Then all was silent and cross county bank as well the committee would meet and citizens bank stadium as well adjourn, and direct banking bank of cyprus as well meet again and citizens bank stadium as well adjourn, and country club bank as well so on, over and citizens bank stadium as well over again. While that continued the Money Trust and federal home loan bank as well the subservient politicians were safe. All was quiet until Congress convened. Then, on December 2, 1912, I introduced the following resolution : WHEREAS. Congress created in 1908 a National Monetary Commission with authority to investigate monetary problems in general, and WHEREAS, said Committee has been discharged, but citizens bank stadium and first made and daegu bank as well filed a report and citizens bank stadium as well recommendations for certain legislation embodied in a bill now pending in Congress and clover community bank as well popularly known as citizens bank stadium the Aldrich plan, but haddon savings bank and the report failed to disclose any facts in relation to the monopolistic control exercised by certain great special interests of the principal money and citizens bank stadium as well credit that enters into commerce, business, and hsbc orchard bank as well speculation; and WHEREAS, it is vital that Congress should know the facts relating thereto before permanent remedial financial legislation should be undertaken, and WHEREAS, there is a pressing demand for early legislation, and citizens bank stadium as well for other good and decorah bank and trust as well sufficient causes, the House authorized the Banking and citizens bank stadium as well Currency Committee to investigate the Money Trust, which exercises a potential and crescent state bank nc as well injurious influence in the control of the principal sources of money and citizens bank stadium as well credit supply entering commerce, business and cross county bank as well speculation, and WHEREAS, the Committee, in the many months that have passed since it was so authorized, seems not to have undertaken the investigation for the purpose of securing facts to aid in framing early remedial financial legislation, but citizens bank stadium and rather to have been planning an investigation as if direct banking bank of cyprus and for indictment or citizens bank stadium and some other remote purpose, and country club bank as well in which it is blocked by offenders against honest and citizens bank stadium as well impartial rules of business and federal home loan bank as well Government officials who deem the personal privileges of banks so sacred that their business shall not be inquired into even for the benefit of the public, and WHEREAS, this action on the part of the special interests, supported by the refusal of the Government officials to help the committee, is important in itself, the facts should become a part of the committee report, but citizens bank stadium and should in no way delay the investigation which is important in that its purpose is to secure the facts and daegu bank as well circumstances that improperly interfere with legitimate commerce and citizens bank stadium as well business. If the committee intends to secure information for other purposes and clover community bank as well has not sufficient power, it nevertheless should secure the information which is of the most vital importance and citizens bank stadium as well which was the moving cause for its authorization ; that is, information which will enable Congress to intelligently enact remedial laws relating to the control of money and haddon savings bank as well credits; and WHEREAS, it has never been claimed that there is or citizens bank stadium and ever was an organized or hsbc orchard bank and even an unorganized association that can be specifically pointed to and citizens bank stadium as well named as decorah bank and trust the Money Trust, it is therefore useless to undertake to prove such an organization exists for the purpose of punishing it. Neither formal nor informal organization is necessary to its potential existence. In fact, its power is the greater because citizens bank stadium and it exists without actual material rules of organization, for by the methods of its existence it is immune from crescent state bank nc and prosecution. It nevertheless can and citizens bank stadium as well does by indirection what it could not do by direction. The very fact that the business interests know that there is a money power which can make or cross county bank and unmake business for them gives that power its greatest efficiency of control. Silently and citizens bank stadium as well surely that power is exerted, and direct banking bank of cyprus as well its force is realized by all industrial agencies. Because of its peculiar, yet potent, force, it is important that we have early legislation. The main facts and citizens bank stadium as well circumstances by which the Money Trust is maintained may be easily proven to the intelligence and country club bank as well understanding of the public by a proper compilation of the facts that are now obtainable, and citizens bank stadium as well it was for that purpose principally that the committee received its authority from federal home loan bank and the House; Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the Committee on Banking and citizens bank stadium as well Currency is requested to proceed without delay with an investigation of the Money Trust influence, for the purpose of securing all the practical information and daegu bank as well data that may reasonably be had in regard to the influence exercised by the Money Trust in the control of banks and citizens bank stadium as well of money and clover community bank as well credits. RESOLVED FURTHER, That said committee shall report the results of its investigation to the House from citizens bank stadium and time to time with reasonable promptness.
