READ THE JOURNAL This Weel Col. Dryann' resignation has been ac- suited bv the the war department, and "lie is oow a civilian once more. General Garcia tlx distinguished Cuban general who was io Washington, D. C, coonected with his own country died in that city of Peumonia on Um 11th lost. July 1st 1966 tlie national debt a a re sult of tlx) oivil war was $2,778,236,173, GO. During the next 27 years we paid io aterest atoae $J, G30, 097, 104 lacking io round number only $240,000 ef paying the entire debt in ieterest money. Dur ing a similar period we paid the national hanks $3, 249,374, 650, or m, 138,476, 31 more than the entire cost of the civil war. Vhy did the government, W rath er the people, who constitute 1 he govern ment pay this enormous sum to the na tional bankent? As the,, Bankers tell us in order to furnish a sound "safe "and "staple currency" and that currency rests on U. S. bonds an J the people are back of the U. 8. bonds. If so, why should the people pay the national hanks over three thousand millions of dollars in 71 yean? Let congress pass toe infamous McCleary -finance Mil or, some some other one ao -v oca ting the same iiti) tor teat measure viz: the single gold standartl, and grant ing to the banks the right te issue the cir culating medium of the couatry. Every voter in the country should l eep tab on the acts of congress this wint ir and also during the extra session, whit h will no doubt be called after Marc 4th next HOW ABOUT THIS? Col. W. J. Bryan lum offered his resijr. elation to the war department which will .doubtless be accepts J soon. He feels perhaps that since peace has been de clared between our country and Spain And a pace treaty has l tn binned by proper representatives of the two btli- jrerant nations, tliere is little use of him continuing in the army. i U '.

The second important fact is that national bankers get tlte oar tional bank notes issued to them by the government at an annual rate of interest of one per cent and they loan this money to the people at from six to twelve per annum. What the bankers want is ;or the government to farm out to them at one per cent per annum, the privilege of famishing the money necessary for socie ty. Nor do they stop at such audacious propostion as this for, mind you, the bill sow before congress reduces the annual rate of interest to the bankers from one per cent to one-qnarter of one per cent per annum. This same class, the bank ring wanted to get rid of silver for the same reason, viz: That it might have an enlarged field for its money, the national bank notes. And now the bankers are trying to get rid of the greenbacks for the same reason. They want the exclusive privi. lege of supplying the money of the nat ioe for their special benefit and enormous profit Gretts. I iTfV 1 uJrl pdpu- PR FOB POYCllil Our Chicago i Letter.
