HISTORY OF THE GOLD STANDARD

Uncle Job Pruden sez: “Sum fellers who are alius spoutin’ off about cuttin’ trees along the river, hev about ez much sense ez the man who carries a stick uv dinimite in his hip-pocket, so that when sum uther feller kicks him in the pants it will explode ’en blow his leg off. The fac’ is, a lot of these butifule trees are jist a smoke screen that hides hogsheds uv essense of roses, whicn cumes out uv the sewers, 'en which smells loud enuf tu stink a hyen ner off’n a gut wagun.”
A river becomes crooked by following the line of least resistance. In this respect men are very much like a river, which may account for so much crookedness in life.

When 4,835 of these organizations “busted” and three billion dollars of depositors’ money was lost, the average person awoke to the fact that these banks were owned and controlled by groups of privat- individuals, for the primary purpose of making profits
for themselves.
The past four years show the results of the gold standard. Let is review its history, and the
banking systems.
In 1791 Alexander Hamilton md some wealthy foreign associates petitioned President Washington to- have Congress grant hem the right to coin money. He idvocated the establishment of a lationaJ bank. Washington reused, saying such a transgression vvas repugnant to the spirit of our
democratic republic.

AMERICA DRIFTING WEST Observations by Dr. H. S. Jelstrup, og Norway, made last year on the same spot where similar observations were made in 1870, revealed the |mazing fact that North America has drifted Avest something like 2,300 feet in the intervening time. Even allowing
s what Thomas Jefferson said: \ “I believe that hanking instituious are more dangerous to - our iberties than are the standing rmies. They have raised up a noney aristocracy 'that has set he government at defiance. The ssuing power should be taken rom the hanks and restored to N he government and the people to vhom it rightfully belongs.” Did Mr. Jefferson not describe , resent., conditions? In 1816 a second group ot finaniers obtained a charter to estabish a bank. The charter was to xpire in 20. years. Four years before the expiration :f this charter the president of his bank tried to bribe the Presilent of the United States, Andrew fackson, to extend the bank charer another 20 years. The presii.ent of this bank, Nicholas Biddle, ffered to guarantee and finance - 1 res Mfurt Jackson’s -re-e 1 eel ion- for he charter. President Jackson reused the bribe saying: “If Congress has the right, mile 1 the Constitution, to issue taper money, it Avas given them o be used by themselves, not to s >e delegated to individuals or cor-
torations.”
On this platform Andrew! Jackon Avas re-elcted. Biddle and his ssociates bitterly opposed him. Biey tried to force him to let hem be the financiers of the ountry, but they failed. To the! name of Washington, efferson and Jackson we can add he name and testimony of Presi lent Lincoln. He, too, opposed the reation of the so-called national mnks for the same reason as Ms iredecessors. During the Civil War when the u-my was unequipped, unfed and inarmed, the private financiers, vhd had immense quantities oi icarded gold, advised the Great Emancipator that they would lend noney to the government if Presiient Lincoln would permit them to lave a charter to establish a na-
ional bank.
One may look at the sad, wistiil look in the eyes of our beloved dncoln and wonder, “What price
mtriotism! ”
“Poor victim of circumstance, you Avere forced to choose between he lesser of two evils. “You were forced to accept this bribe or forego the realization o J the dream that was born in the stable of Bethlehem -the drean if liberating the slave and estab ishing freedom for all. “You could not have lived to itrike out this injustice as yom ireat Ijeart desired to do.” Shortly after Lincoln made this lecision he uttered these words: “I see.in thd future a crisis Arising which unnerves me and muses me to tremble for the safey of my country. The money powjr of the country will endeavor to prolong its regime by working up-. the prejudices of the people until all the Avealth is seggregated n few hands and the republic is
destroyed.
“I feel at this time more anxious ’or my country than even in the midst of war.” Did the great Lincoln look forward to the present day? Banks have multiplied and we now see wealthy corporations privileged to print money against the wisdom and thought of the country’s greatest patriots, Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, under Lincoln
wrote:
“My agency in procuring the passage of the National Bank Act, was the greatest financial mistake of my life. It has built up a monoply that affects every interest in the country. It should he repealed. But. fiefore this can he accomplished, the people Avill be arrayed on one side and the hanks

That was what the

Englishman, named Ernest Seyd, came to this country Avith orrehalf million dollars and bribed Congress to pasn the law de-
monetizing silver.
That, is how this gold standard that the House of Morgan now seeks to retain was brought about. That is the gold standard born of bribery and thievery that President Roosevelt is seeking to free
us from.
I quote from Congressional rec3rds for r proof of Seyd’s bribery. Congressional record, Forty-fifth Congress, volume 7, part 2^ page ’605. udge Kelly, of Pennsylvania,

It was not discussed, as diown by the record, and neithermembers of Congress nor the people understood the scope of the legislation.” Congressional record Fortyom th Congress, volume 4, page LOT Mr. Holman, of Indiana, said: “I have before me the record of Ife proceedings of this House on the passage of the coinage act of 1873.

Senator Vorlees, of Indiana, said: “The enactment of the coinage ict of 1873 was as completely unknown to the people and indeed to our-fifths of Congress itself,' as he / presence of a burglar in a muse at midnight to its sleeping
inmates.”
Congressional record, Forty-fifth Congress, volume 7, part 1, page >84. Mr. Bright, of Tennessee,
aid:
“The coinage act was passed by rand in the H^iuse, never having teen printed in advance, being a substitute for the printed bill, lever having been read at . the clerk’s desk ... It was passed without discussion ... It Avas passed under such circumstances hat the fraud escaped (he attenion of the piost watchful, as well is the ablest statesman in Congress.” .... Congressional Record, May 22, 1890,-page 5128. “In 1872, silver being demoneized in Germany, England,, and Holland, a capital of 100,000 pounds ($50,0,000) Avas raised, and Ernest Seyd was 'sent to this country with this fund as agent for foreign bondholders to effect the same object.” That is this gold standard, legitimate! child of an illegitimate mother, conceived by selfish foreign financiers and defended today by the House of Morgan and their dupes.

South Pole such as there la around the North Pole — no polar beara, walruses—practically nothing. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, our famous leader, has spent the past two years preparing and gathering supplies for our journey — 14,000 separate items! He has applied modern efficiency to exploration to an extent that permits ua now to say that no other Polar Expedition ever set out with such an array of equipment. There are 85 of us besides Admiral Byrd. I am reporting today to our big 10,000-ton flagship, the Jacob Ruppert, over at Tide Water Pier No, 3 in Bayonne, where we shall take on Immense supplies of oil, gasoline and fuel oil. Then off for Norfolk for the big farewell radio party and more equipment. Admiral Byrd is taking me with him for a very interesting reason. He Is one of the greatest aviation enthusiasts In the world and he believes that the rapid development of American aviation depends largely upon the youth of the country. Therefore he is taking me along as a representative of the millions of young people of the United States. In order to deal more directly with the young aviators of the future, he has asked me to help organize the "Little America Aviation and Exploration Club." This we are now doing and I Invite everybody In the country who Is of high school age or over, and who Is Interested In aviation, exploration or adventure, to Join It. There are no dues, no membership fees, no obligations whatever. Admiral Byrd and I held an election and I was elected president of the Club. We shall establish executive headquarters for the club at Little America In the bleak and Icy Antarctic. For the duration of the Expedition, however, we shall have headquarters In the United States, where 1 Invite you to write me immediately. “ To everyone who sends me a Stamped, self-addressed envelope, at the Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, at the Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York City, our American Headquarters, I will send a membership card in the club. Later I will send to each member a practical working map of the Polar regions we expect to visit so that you will be able to trace every step of our adventures by following these weekly letters I shall be addressing to the club.
