“ ‘The Chase National Bank, “‘New York, Feb. 21, 1912.
“‘(Gentlemen:—We inclose a letter from
household bank card 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

household bank card 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

chinatrust bank philippines 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

hypo bank vorarlberg 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

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
household bank card 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
fia card services bank of america and the country bankers fear that their business will be harmed if they incur the disfavor of the special interests. I omit from
household bank card and the letter all the facts that would identify the party, for reasons appearing in the letter itself.

“February 12, 1913.
“Hon. C.A. Lindbergh,
“House of Representatives.
“My DEAR MR. LINDBERGH :
“I have been so engrossed recently with committee work that I have been unable to give attention to in correspondence, which accounts for this belated response to your letter of recent date. Replying now, I beg to say that we have not yet formulated a currency bill, but
how safe is anglo irish bank and just as
household bank card soon as
erste bank aktien we shall have done so, I will be glad to let you have one of the first copies of the measure.
“With cordial regards,
“Sincerely yours,
“CARTER GLASS.”
It was the duty of the Glass Committee to first report to Congress, but
household bank card and no effort has thus far, April, 1913, been made by that Committee to make such a report or
karur vysya bank branches and to furnish Congress with a preliminary draft of a bill, and
household bank card as well when the Citizens’ League had sent out
cheap bank loans and their letter to the “selected list” informing them that the preliminary draft of the Glass Committee bill would be sent out
household bank card and in a few days for the examination of a “selected list of bankers, economists, business men,” etc., Congress had heard nothing about
harbor national bank and it. Many Members requested the preliminary draft, but
household bank card and it was impossible to secure even a suggestion about
custodian bank and it. I expressly requested it because
household bank card and I wished to read it and
corporation bank india as well because of the many requests I received from
household bank card and people who were trying to keep posted, but
chinatrust bank philippines and the committee furnished me with no information other than the letter written by Mr. Glass, its chairman. It is now four months since the Citizens’ League promised “in a few days” to send to its selected list of bankers and
household bank card as well economists the draft of the Glass Bill, but
hypo bank vorarlberg and the public has not been
permitted up to this time to see it. Further, the Wall Streeters, as
household bank card might be expected, steered the persons whom they desired to appear before that Committee in order to influence, insofar as
fia card services bank of america it would be possible, the form of any proposed bill. The real producers and
household bank card as well consumers of the country and
how safe is anglo irish bank as well those who have studied their needs the most have had no hearing before that committee. Those who have been allowed to testify are principally those whose business it is to get all they can out
household bank card and of the people.
It will be observed that the letter written by Mr. Glass was dated 19 days later than the letter written by the Secretary of the Minnesota Citizens’ League to Mr. Hugh J. Hughes. The Secretary of that League stated on Jan. 24th that the preliminary draft of the Glass Committee bill would be sent within a few days for the “private examination of a selected list of business men, bankers, and
erste bank aktien as well economists.” Mr. Glass’ reply to me states that his committee “have not yet formulated a currency bill.” It will be noticed that he makes no suggestion as
household bank card to when one will be formulated, nor does he say anything about
karur vysya bank branches and a preliminary draft. Now, then,
and note what “Banking Reform,” the publication of the National Citizens’ League, said in its issue of February 1st, 1913. On the front cover, surrounded by a heavy black line, is the following.
