If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. Thomas Edison
It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 in currency. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people. Thomas Edison
They were the men interested in the establishment of the gold standard money system and right of the bankers to manage the currency and credit of every nation in the world. G G McGeer
