Financial reform urged as key to farmers' relief
A 19th century editor calls the Democratic party to adopt broad financial reform beyond tariff and civil service changes. He argues for a sound, government-controlled currency free of bank manipulation, tied to agricultural needs, to ease taxes and debt burden on farmers. He cites the need for a flexible money supply aligned with crop cycles, referencing the National Farmer's Allance and a Pickler bill, and warns that without a major monetary shift, political focus on other reforms will fail farmers. The piece urges decisive action against Wall Street influence and advocates immediate monetary expansion tied to agricultural output.
