But, if you are a gambler, and live by your wits play the stock markets and otherwise take usury, take from others without producing or serving others, take that which you have not earned, you are a gainer; aye, more, an enemy of all honest, producing, serving, toiling people. You are the burden that is crushing to the earth the masses, the 99 and 9 of us.
Austin, Texas The Author. In some way an interest grew among the people, and now I am getting orders for it from coast to coast. It is a thumb-nail story of the abuses of the bankers in their creation of money, and their control of the Nation's not their own credit. I am giving you this story, because it covers the entire process of creating bank reserves, bank credit, and deposits to the credit of the people on the books of the 14, commercial banks in the United States.
You cannot refute, deny, or question this summary of the evils of banking, because I quote the Board of Governors to prove every statement I make. However, the booklet issued May, , by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, cannot be had at this time at any price, unless you find it in some private library, and find the owner willing to sell.
I have one, and no price would buy it, because after Mr. Eccles left the Board of Governors as chairman, everything that could be done, has been done to suppress the circulation of the book. The Committee directs the open market operations of the Federal Reserve Banks; that is, the purchases and sales of United States Government securities and other obligations in the open market.

Non-member banks generally get their supply from member banks. The Hartford manufacturer. The Hartford bank does not require cash for the cheque; it wants credit in its reserve account at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.

Silas Walter Adams, The Legalized Crime of Banking by banks or paid by banks for securities, mortgages, and other forms of investment obligations. It may seem that it should be the other way around that bank loans and investments would be derived from bank deposits to the credit of customers instead of bank deposits being derived from loans and investments; and it is true that deposits would not grow out of loans if currency were to be used by the public for monetary payments to the exclusion of bank deposits transferable by cheque.
But as it is, the public in general prefers to have its monetary funds — including what it borrows — on deposit in banks rather than in the form of currency in its own possession. The result of this preference is that the proceeds of loans go on deposit to be disbursed by cheques, and aggregate deposits are increased.
Its deposits would remain unchanged. But when others returned the cash for deposit new deposits would be created. The customer does not want payment in currency — he wants payment in deposit credit. Consequently, they must have funds on hand for the purpose; though ordinarily the amount need not be more than a small fraction of the total deposit liability. From day to day he may have credits to his account for cheques on other banks received from his depositors; and from day to day he may have charged to the account for cheques that have been drawn on him and deposited in other banks.
He may also from time to time withdraw currency and have it charged to the account, and when he has more currency than he needs, he may deposit it at the Reserve bank to be credited to his account. In either event, lending has an immediate reaction upon the ratio of reserves to deposits. And, as a corollary, the amount of reserves held in relation to legal requirements is a controlling factor in the lending policy of a bank.

Page 49 Under the two foregoing provisions a Federal Reserve Bank may supply a member bank with any amount of additional reserves the member bank needs, the only limitation being the amount of good assets the member bank can offer the Federal Reserve Bank as security.
These purchases are undertaken at the initiative of the Federal Reserve authorities and not of individual member banks. They do not have particular banks in view, but the aggregate reserves of the banking system as a whole.
Silas Walter Adams, The Legalized Crime of Banking credit is a source of bank deposits transferable by cheque wherewith business men and other persons make the bulk of their monetary payments. Suppose further that this bank were required by law to have reserves equal to at least 20 percent of its deposits.
The commercial bank in turn would deposit it in its reserve account at the Reserve Bank. Silas Walter Adams, The Legalized Crime of Banking supplying a relatively small volume of additional reserve funds, make it possible for the banking system as a whole to supply the public with a far greater additional volume of credit. The figure 20 percent has been used for greater simplicity in illustration. Credit in general is a matter of monetary agreement, the essence of it being an acceptable promise to pay.
Bank credit is a special form of credit, peculiar in that it involves a promise or assumption of liability by a bank, given in exchange for a promise made to the bank. Thus the bank accepts a promissory note of a customer and in exchange promises to pay the customer a corresponding amount, which, pending his order, is carried on its books as a deposit in his favour. As a source of bank deposits transferable by cheque, it provides the funds with which the bulk of monetary payments is effected.
It is always interchangeable with legal tender money, but for the most part it is not derived from legal tender money, nor does the volume of bank credit bear any. If the volume of loans that banks could make and of deposits they could accept were limited to the volume of currency in existence, bank credit would not have the utility inexhaustibleness in our economic system. It is itself a form of money authorized for special purposes, convertible into other forms of money convertible therefrom, and readily controllable as to amount.
This is the genesis of created money-bank deposits. By writing a cheque against no funds. Silas Walter Adams, The Legalized Crime of Banking sellers of investment obligations, deposit credits on their books, and the aggregate deposits are increased.
And these hundreds of billions of deposits and investment obligations nascent money are money, and may be used in the buying of anything of value, services and pleasures. They lie there, for the most part, dormant, ready to emerge from their hibernation to crowd the production dollar, the earned dollar out of the markets. Silas Walter Adams, The Legalized Crime of Banking, ch 3 ours, I give you my solemn word of honour that I have never seen any other class more corrupt, conscienceless, and thieving than bankers.

When a bank makes a loan to a utility, or a farmer, it creates the money that it lends at the time the loan is made. Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and, with a flick of the pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine he was the second richest man in Great Britain, and president of the Bank of England will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and a happier world to live in.
My sons are well educated; they should not hesitate to take their places in the ranks of humanity, and forge their own fortunes. BUT, if you want to continue to be the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control Credit.
It is remarkable, and a fact of surpassing importance, that the provision of the Constitution of the United States authorizing Congress exclusively to coin money and regulate the value thereof has been overlooked by American statesmen. Their failure to perceive the deep significance of this language of the Constitution has resulted in the indefensible expansion and contraction of money by private persons, bringing on monetary depressions periodically.
I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to corrupt modern civilization.
They will not hesitate to plunge the whole world into wars and chaos, in order that they may inherit the earth. The three world wars, and this cold war; and the present stringency of credit, invoked by the Federal Reserve authorities. They planned it, and carried it to a successful for them conclusion.
And on and after that date we will not renew our loans under any consideration. But on September 1, , we will demand our money. We will foreclose and become Mortgagees in possession. We can in this way take two-thirds of the farms west of the Mississippi and thousands of them east of the Mississippi as well, at our own price. We will own three-fourths of the farms of the West and the money of the nation. Then farmers will become tenants as in England. Silas Walter Adams, The Legalized Crime of Banking, ch 3 Comment: Thus they planned panics of , and reaped harvests of farms in , as planned in Silver, silver certificates and U.

This privilege is worth billions of dollars a year to those exercising it under laws passed by Congress. Government bonds, interest bearing, and then it added a million dollars in currency. Each is a Government obligation. The Federal Reserve Bank delivers to the local commercial bank the million dollars in bonds and obtains for the Government a million dollars in bank deposits which it cheques out to pay its debts. Then the Reserve Bank delivers to the local commercial bank the million dollars in cash.
The Government pays interest for the use of its own credit. The answer is that such a system was built up over a long period of years from to Congress has passed monetary laws without giving a great deal of attention to them, being told by bankers who had written the bills that money was is a mystery and that few people understood it and those understanding it were the ones wanting the laws.
If some person who had given the subject thought and consideration attempted to show how the credit of the Nation was being farmed out FREE to privately owned commercial banks, he could be silenced very quickly by a whispering campaign that he was a monetary crackpot, or a greenbacker, who wanted to flood the country with worthless printing-press money. Then, with a few references to continental currency, fiat money, and German inflation, the bill was sent on its way.
All such bills were referred to as a bill to further strengthen our sound currency. I want to say that the highest authority and best in our Government, the President of the Federal Reserve System, the Secretary of the Treasury, as well as all informed people, admit it.
Eccles said, 'We create credit to buy bonds. That is all we have ever done. That is the way the Federal Reserve System operates. It creates money. Morgenthau said: 'When commercial banks buy bonds they do not pay for them with real cash taken from their vaults nor out of their capital or surplus - out of no existing funds , but by placing on their books newly created bank deposits to the credit of the Government. Finally in we gave you the Federal Reserve Act, on your assuring us sound money, panic-free banking methods, and top to bottom prosperity for the people of the United States would follow.

Then you have no bank failures, for there will be no banks — there will be only U. Treasury Depositories; and bankers will then become just money lenders, not money creators. It is the full story of the creation of money by the Reserve Banks, with all of the camouflage torn away. The enormity of the crime of banking strikes you a stunning blow when you read that the bankers profited in the last World War over a trillion dollars, and the people lost that amount, plus the lives of many of our manhood's best, and billions in property destruction.
Read this story as a starter of that completer story to follow. Facts About Banking Every Citizen Should Know When you tear away from money the many confusing false statements bankers have used to camouflage, to obscure their corrupt and thieving practices, you will find that money is not a mysterious thing.
