Charles Lindbergh - Banking and currency and the money trust
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The material production and consuption by the people, and industries of the world go on continually. In the aggregate there is no perceptible difference from day to day or even from month to month. All things considered the proportion of supply and demand does not vary greatly from year to year The catastrophes which occur in the world are usually confined to different localities at different times and do not, on the whole change the general result. Nature seems to keep the balance fairly well, at least well enough so that man need not fear that Nature will fail to respond to the needs of men.
We meet a different condition when we study the personal and commercial relations of the people with each other. When we do that we find an intensely variating condition, which works rapidly backward arid forward with no - at least comparatively little, relation to the material conditioning. These human conditions seem to have exhausted the patience of men and they are reaching out to make great changes :
BANKING AND CURRENCY
(A) A change in the banking and currency conditions
(B) A readjustment of our industrial relations
(C) A change in the political conditions so that the people as a whole may direct their own political affairs
Bankers, merchants, professional men, farmers, and wage earners all know that a change in our banking and currency laws is imperative. Such a change is sure to come, and Wall Street is endeavoring to foster ideas in the public mind which will insure the adoption of a plan favorable to frenzied finance. Civilization has reached the point where the people ought to consider the following facts: That we are slaves of a money system; that market quotations fluctuate up and down at times when there is no corresponding change in the supply and natural demand; and that the Wall Street financiers have suddenly found time to leave their speculative schemes long enough to direct the work of educating the people in the mystery of finance. Are these financiers working in the interests of the people or in their own interests? They were content to deal only with the boss politicians until the people themselves began taking an interest in legislation, but now that the people have admonished the bosses, Wall Street is trying to mould public opinion in order to make it favorable to some disguised Wall Street plan These questions are all answered in this little volume. Also, a plan is proposed which if adopted will make the people the master of the world and the builders of their common fortunes, instead of leaving that power in the clutches of its present master-the Money Trust.
