The South Carver Silver Man
Sir In response to Mr C B Godfrey's letter I argue against government permission for a $50 000 farm owner to issue $45 000 in notes. In my view issuing notes on land or on bonds is morally and legally the same. Macleod in Theory and Practice of Banking supports that paper currency on land and on public funds is identical and equally dangerous.
