Opinion on the times from Sam Shiek's letter to Frontier Journal
Sam Shiek argues the federal party seeks to control the money supply and bank access to force a federal presidency while claiming true wealth comes from productive labor. He urges farmers to work the land, reject bank dependence, and distrust a society of speculation and debt, insisting hard times arise only from such practices.
