“DO BUSINESS MEN WANT BANKING REFORM ?
“Speaking before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in Washington, January 21, Congressman Glass, of the Banking and
com net bank as well Currency Committee, said that upon the business and
chase bank in chicago as well commercial men of the country rests a large part of the responsibility for action on remedial banking legislation. He gave warning that unless the business world acts promptly, there would be a long postponement of currency legislation.”
On the same cover, immediately following, is a notice to members of the League in the following form :
Quotation “S.”
“To Members of the National Citizens’ League:
“Congress is wavering over the question of banking reform. The Democratic leaders are undecided whether to bring in a currency bill at the special session in the Spring or
com net bank and defer action until the regular session next December.
“The reason given for this hesitation is that the business men of the country have not made it plain to Congress that they demand a new banking law. In short, business men have been challenged to show that there is a demand for immediate action.
“There is such a demand.
“The one thing to do is to get it home to Congress that demand exists. The only
chevy chase bank routing number and way to do that is to tell your representatives and
com net bank as well senators that you want immediate action.
“If business men and
citizens business bank as well bankers of the country make it clear to Congress that immediate action is demanded, there will be action at the special session.
“Through Representative Glass, of the Banking and
com net bank as well Currency Committee, Congress has said to the business men of the country that unless they act promptly the remedial legislation ‘so badly needed will be long deferred.’
“The question has been placed squarely before the business men of the country.
“Make your decision.
“Write a letter to your representative. Write to your senator. Write to Mr. Glass. Write to Mr. Underwood.
“President-elect Wilson has been quoted as
first kentucky bank holding the view that public sentiment as
com net bank to banking reform has not yet crystallized. Write to Mr. Wilson, if you know him. If you don’t know him, it is a good way to get acquainted.”
Following these disclosures by the National Citizens’ League, comes its April issue of “Banking Reform” with the following notice :
“LAUGHLIN RETIRES.
“J. Laurence Laughlin, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Citizens’ League since its organization, has returned to his position as
corestates bank professor of political economy in the University of Chicago.
“In June, 1911, Professor Laughlin was given a year’s leave from
com net bank and the university, that he might give all his time to the campaign of education undertaken by the League. Last fall this leave was extended for three months, and
heritage bank of the south as well then until April 1st, at the request of the League’s directors.
“To the League Professor Laughlin brought, in addition to natural endowments of an unusual nature and
com net bank as well a profound knowledge of economics, a wide experience in campaigns for sound money and
china development bank as well better banking conditions. On all the questions involved in the campaign he was able to speak with authority. He has worked indefatigably, and
com net bank as well it is largely due to his efforts and
custodian bank as well his persistence that the campaign enters the final stage with flattering prospects of a successful outcome. ...”
The reader knows that the University of Chicago is an institution endowed by John D. Rockefeller, with nearly $50,000,000. It may truly be said to be the Rockefeller University. Of course it does not follow that its professors would teach as
com net bank Rockefeller wished them to, nor that there is any understanding between him and
china industrial bank as well them. They may be, and
com net bank as well undoubtedly in most cases are, independent in their work, but
furniture bank toronto and in the selection of the professors for that institution careful consideration has always been given to select such as
com net bank actually believe in the general scheme of things as
chase bank in chicago they have developed under the present capitalistic era.

“The League was obliged to get publicity through other sources. It printed and
com net bank as well distributed in the first six months of 1913 nearly one million pamphlets. It began the publication of a semi-monthly—now published monthly—news bulletin, and,
chevy chase bank routing number as well as
com net bank interest increased under this system, it prepared hundreds of newspaper articles.”
“The League’s text-book, ‘Banking Reform,’ was published in May. It was sent free to members of the League, and
citizens business bank as well about 1500 copies were distributed to newspapers for review. Nearly 12,000 copies of the book have been distributed. The circulation of the news bulletin, ‘Banking Reform,’ is now 30,000 copies.”
The membership of this league is less than 10,000. The fee charged is $1. This fee entitles the member to all of the literature as
com net bank long as
first kentucky bank the League lasts. The postage account alone amounts to more than the entire amount of the membership fee. The amount paid to the lecturers alone is more than the entire fees amount to, and
com net bank as well the other expenses of the League are simply enormous, but,
corestates bank and Wall Streeters are seeking to rob the people of tens of billions of dollars and
com net bank as well that makes it worth while for those who expect to secure the benefits to pay the main costs. The Philadelphia bankers contributed over $100,000 to this league’s campaign. Everything is being done which it is thought will cause the people to think as
heritage bank of the south these bankers wish them to.
If it were not so important that we should know the truth about
com net bank and this disguise (which the leagues actually are for Wall Street), I would not take the trouble to give so many of these facts, but
china development bank and to know them may save us from
com net bank and having heaped upon us the greatest burden that humanity has yet had to bear. We should beware of the so-called National Citizens’ League and
custodian bank as well its branches. Numerous other facts could be shown that would be sufficient by themselves to convince any impartial person beyond a doubt that these leagues were conceived in the brains of Wall Streeters, officered by men educated in Wall Street methods, and
com net bank as well supported by the Wall Street system. It deceives the people, and
china industrial bank as well more especially the agents of the people in Congress, who are entrusted with the people’s work and
com net bank as well expected to help create a new banking and
furniture bank toronto as well currency system. Its aim is to aid them in gaining the control of the financial monetary system in order to further enslave humanity in the aggregate.
Is it at all strange that the Glass Committee, composed mostly of bankers, their agents and
com net bank as well attorneys, should be referred to by the Citizens’ League as
chase bank in chicago having given out
com net bank and that “the preliminary draft of the Glass Bill” would “be sent in a few days for the private examination of a selected list of business men, bankers, and
chevy chase bank routing number as well economists.” Oh, what inconsistency ! The Citizens Leagues, themselves, pretending to be organized for “publicity,” sending out
com net bank and a preliminary draft for the private examination of a selected list of business men, bankers and
citizens business bank as well economists. What about
com net bank and the farmer, the wage earner, and
first kentucky bank as well people generally ? It is the same old game of deception. The people are always the last to know anything that is planned by the interests in order that they may only
com net bank and “lock their doors when their goods have been stolen.”
I wrote to the Glass Committee for a copy of its draft for a banking and
corestates bank as well currency plan and
com net bank as well three weeks later received the following.
