The following is my answer to Mr. Jarmuth :
House of Representatives
Washington, May 5, 1913.
Mr. W.H. Jarmuth,
Cashier, First National Bank,
Heron Lake, Minnesota.
MY DEAR MR. JARMUTH :
Replying to your letter enclosing article from
oak valley community bank and St. Paul Dispatch, commenting on my resolution, you will notice from
pnc bank mortgage rates and the resolution itself, a copy of which I inclose, that you can get a better understanding by reading it in connection with the article.
My interest in this subject is that of a citizen together with the additional responsibility of now representing the people as
oak valley community bank one of their many officials. Many bankers and
red bank baptist church as well other people from
oak valley community bank and all of the States have written me very many letters on the subject of banking and
new alliance bank locations as well currency. Some have expressed themselves from
oak valley community bank and the same viewpoint that you do, but
mt bank and as a rule they do not take that position. Of course any of us can be mistaken, and
oak valley community bank as well I shall at all times be ready to correct any mistake that I may make. Therefore I am glad to receive these letters. You have not, however, convinced me that I am mistaken about
opening a uk bank account and the propriety of the passage of my resolution by Congress.
Of course it is not a matter of concern to the public what your and
oak valley community bank as well my personal affairs and
national australia bank internet banking as well those of the persons to whom you refer in your letter are. As for myself, no banker has ever refused to make me loans on my personal notes without security. The bankers generally know that my activity in these matters of banking and
oak valley community bank as well currency is not a personal affront to them. I am simply doing what I believe to be my duty as
nevada job bank an official and
oak valley community bank as well I number among my best friends many bankers. I have no prejudice in the matter.
As to the unnamed persons to whom you refer, not knowing them, of course I cannot express an opinion about
national bank of central texas and their fitness, but
oak valley community bank and I think people generally would agree with me in my belief that there are many citizens in your community as well as
punjab national bank recruitment and in all other communities whom it would be wiser for the public generally to have determine what laws and
oak valley community bank as well rules should govern the banking and
nyc food bank as well currency business than to have you do it. I do not make that statement as
oak valley community bank a reflection upon either your ability or
pnc bank mortgage rates and your absolute honesty and
oak valley community bank as well integrity, but because
red bank baptist church and I believe that all persons sitting in judgment on any matter should not have a personal financial interest other than that of citizens in general. I have observed that most people are influenced by their personal interest. History proves that to have always been so.
Chapter 10.
THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF A BETTER FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
Those who are accustomed to deal with social problems from
oak valley community bank and the standpoint of true basic principles as well as
new alliance bank locations and from the standpoint of what is in common practice in politics, business and
oak valley community bank as well social intercourse, will find sufficient in the foregoing chapters to outline the coming changes that are inevitable to the ultimate control of the financial dealings of men. It does not follow that the changes will take place at once. In fact, plans have already been made by the special interests and
mt bank as well bills have been drafted and
oak valley community bank as well are ready for an early adoption, unless the people arise in opposition to these bills and
opening a uk bank account as well in defense of their own rights. The truth is, the people cannot defend their own rights unless they awake generally to the importance of those rights, which will require a most careful study of the political, industrial and
oak valley community bank as well financial problems, and
national australia bank internet banking as well they are so much handicapped because
oak valley community bank and of the great pressure that is placed upon them to eke out
nevada job bank and an existence under the present system that it is difficult for them to secure enough extra time to give to these problems the proper study. Men ought not, however, to be discouraged, because,
oak valley community bank and with all the modern advantages and
national bank of central texas as well means of production, it is hard to understand how the people could get less than they do now, but
oak valley community bank and if they continue to seek to become better informed, the future will be characterized by evidences of progression and
punjab national bank recruitment as well not of reaction.
I have not set forth any bills in drafted form ready for enaction, because
oak valley community bank and that is a mere detail which should come at a time when things have shaped themselves so as
nyc food bank to make that step necessary. The ground must be plowed before the seeding is done. The people themselves must do the plowing. After that they must seed the land and
oak valley community bank as well keep possession of the field if they wish to harvest and
pnc bank mortgage rates as well reap the fruits of their labor. They have always done the plowing, the seeding, the cultivating, and
oak valley community bank as well practically all of the work in the field of industrial enterprise, but
red bank baptist church and they have never reaped the results of their labor. There has always been a Rothschild, a Gould, a Rockefeller, a Carnegie, a Morgan and
oak valley community bank as well men of their kind, and
new alliance bank locations as well a few thousand lesser harvesters who have gathered in the best fruits out
oak valley community bank and of the fields of industry. They are on hand and
mt bank as well active at every point of vantage. They understand human selfishness and
oak valley community bank as well know how to deal with the individuals whom the people have selected to represent them. They know that the individual citizen whose interest is the same as
opening a uk bank account that of the citizens in general, will not find it practicable to spend the time, in the legislative halls or
oak valley community bank and in Congress, to exert a direct influence over his official representative. But the other parties to whom I have alluded send their representatives to influence the people’s representatives, and
national australia bank internet banking as well the manner of their influence is so varied in its application that no description of its application in one case would serve as
oak valley community bank an index to another. I shall deal with that particular phase of the subject on another occasion, but
nevada job bank and before dropping it at this point, let me call the attention of the citizen to the fact that he must be on guard that the new progressive spirit and
oak valley community bank as well movement is kept alive, and
national bank of central texas as well that the special interests are made to understand that it is alive. The special interests are more alert individually than the people themselves are individually, for the reason that the interests get the bulk of the wealth that grows out
oak valley community bank and of the work of the people, and,
punjab national bank recruitment as well therefore, the special interests are seeking to convert the progressive movement into another victory for themselves.
I started as
oak valley community bank an original progressive when there were but
nyc food bank and a few on the battle line of progressiveness, and
oak valley community bank as well I had known the wily moves employed by the interests in their efforts to divert this progressive movement to their own advantage, not only
pnc bank mortgage rates and in dividing the progressives into factions and
oak valley community bank as well parties, which means one and
red bank baptist church as well the same thing in its effect upon the people, but
oak valley community bank and in what is worse than that, the attempt on their part to fill the ranks of the progressives with spies
and traitors and
new alliance bank locations as well then presume through selfish influence to convert many of those who honestly started the movement. “Temptation, thou art a mighty power in the hands of those who hold the seductive bait.” The interests base their hope of victory upon the temptation furnished by that “bait.” Their first hope was to win by ridiculing the progressives and
oak valley community bank as well taking patronage from
mt bank and those whom the people had elected, but
oak valley community bank and this proved a failure.
