Gage Plan for Bank Run Internal Revenue Favored by City National
A 1900s critique argues Secretary Lyman J. Gage sought to use his office to push a money trust plan. It proposed designating City National Bank of New York as the disbursing agent for federal receipts, claiming it would control about 1.4 million dollars annually and tilt power to a few millionaires. The piece says public outcry forced changes granting the bank a larger share of deposits while routing excess receipts to the Treasury, and predicts Gage would later head City National Bank. It warns of continued efforts by Republicans to consolidate power and deter rivals in Congress.
