The Triplets.

This one issued by an agent of London capitalists’to the New *®ork capitalists in 1862: THE HAZZARD CIRCULAR, y Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power, and chattel slavery destroyed. This. I and my European friends are in favor of, for slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care for the

by England, is for capital to control labor by controlling the wages. This can be done by controlling the money. The great debt that capitalistswill see to it is made out of the war must be used as a means to connol the volume of money. To accomplish this the bonds must be used as a banking basis. We are now waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury to make the recommendation to congress. It will not do to allow the greenback, as it is called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that. This one afterwards issued by New York bankers to the national banks: THE BANK’S CIRCULAR. Dear Sir: It is advisable to do all in your power to sustain such prominent daily and weekly newspapers, especially the agricultural and religious press, as will oppose the issuing ol greenback paper money, anti that you also withhold patronage or favors from all applicants who are not willing to oppose the government issue of money. Let the government issue tin the coin and the banks issue the paper money of the country, ffoi tiien we can better protect each other. To repeal the law creal ing national bank notes, or t< restore to circulation the government issue of money will be to provide the people with money, and will therefore seriously affect your individual profit as bankers and lenders. See your congressman at once, and engage him to support our interests that we may control legislation.

Issued March 12, 1893, by American Bankers Association to all national banks. THE PANIC CIRCULAR. Dear Sih: The interests of liadonal bankers require iminediaie financial legislation by congress. Silver, silver certificates and treasury notes, must be retired and national bank notes upon a gold basis made the only money. This will require the authorization of from §500,OOO,UUO to 81,000,0 ''),()■ ?o of new bonds as. a basis of circulation. You will at once retire om-third of your circulation and call in one-half of yopr loans. Be careful to make a money stringency felt ' among your patrons, especially among influential business men. Advocate an extra session of congress for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law and act with the other banks of your city in securing a large petition to Congress for its unconditional repeal, per accompanying form. Use personal influence with congressmen and particularly let your wishes, be known to your senators. The future life of national banks as fixed and safe investments depends :upon immediate action, as there is an increasing sentiment in favor of government legal tender notes and silver coinage.
