sudden-death" on Oct. 3, 1936, after a "dose" of "intestinal flu," "Pelley's
Weekly" of Oct. 14 said:
Now that this sterling American patriot has made the
Passing, it can be revealed that not long after his
public utterance against the encroaching powers of
Judah, it became known among his intimates that he
had suffered two attacks against his life. The first
attack came in the form of two revolver shots fired
at him from ambush as he was alighting from a cab in
front of one of the Capital hotels. Fortunately both
shots missed him, the bullets burying themselves in
the structure of the cab.
"He became violently ill after partaking of food at
a political banquet at Washington. His life was only
saved from what was subsequently announced as a
poisoning by the presence of a physician friend at
the banquet, who at once procured a stomach pump and
subjected the Congressman to emergency treatment."
/s/ Robert Edward Edmondson (Publicist-Economist)
President Andrew Jackson stated in reference to the bankers at the state of his
administration:
"You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the
Eternal God, I will rout you out."
Congressional Record: January 8, 1934:
Congressman McFadden: "The Congress of the United States must immediately
throw the searchlight of investigation into this dark corner, or we are going to be
swamped with political influences that are manufactured in foreign countries and
that will lead us to the surrender of our heritage of living, just as has been done on
former occasions.
Just as we did, for example, when we entered into the Jay Treaty with England,
which was ratified on June 24, 1795, whereby we needlessly surrendered our right
to the freedom of the seas.
We fought the War of 1812 to regain this right, but the same political influences
prevented even a discussion of this subject at the treaty which terminated that war.
President Wilson vowed to regain the freedom of the seas at the Treaty of
Versailles; but did we regain it? Is the Jay Treaty still in force?...."
"I stand here and say to you that I have studied these records, and not only did
we adopt this monetary policy without debate, not only did we adopt it without
consideration but we adopted it without even knowledge of what we were doing!
It was a piece of legislative trickery; it was a piece of work in the committee
that was silent and secretive. Even members of the committee did not know what
was being done, according to their own declarations. The President and Members
of the House did not know they were acting on such a measure. But, as I have said
before, the shadow of the hand of England rests over this enactment." (C R, January

Congressional Record: January 8, 1934
Congressman Fiesinger: "You will recall the gentleman spoke about Professor
Sprague, who was in the Treasury Department as adviser to the Treasury after he
came as adviser for the Bank of England. He was also monetary adviser to the
Economic Conference in London."
Congressman Fiesinger: "I was just going to remark that very thing, that the power
to "coin and fix the value of money" is solely within the power of the Congress of
the United States and it cannot be delegated to anybody else in the world."
Congressman McFadden: "Will the gentleman yield further?"
Congressman Fiesinger: " I do."
Congressman McFadden: "What does the gentleman say in regard to the
delegation of that power to the Federal Reserve System?"
Congressman Fiesinger: "I say it is illegal. I say it is unconstitutional, as far as it
affects the value of basic money. Power to control credits may be in a different
class."
Congressman McFadden: "The gentleman recognizes that that was done, does he
not?"
Congressman Fiesinger: "Well, I think I recognize that fact; but it may be that
Congress intended to delegate banking and credit control and not the control of the
basic money values."
Congressman McFadden: " The Federal Reserve System has the power to issue
Federal Reserve notes, which circulate as money?"
Congressman Fiesinger: "It has. Of course, they are promises to pay. They are
credits or IOU's of the bank."
Congressman McFadden: "And that power was delegated by Congress in the
Federal Reserve Act."
Congressman Fiesinger: "Yes, sir; with the intent to regulate the volume of
credit."
Congressman McFadden: "And is being pursued by them, which gives the Federal
Reserve System control over the money and credit in the United States."....
Congressman Mott: "What does the gentleman say about the delegation by
Congress to the President to fix the value of money, under the farm bill?"
Congressman Fiesinger: "I think it was illegal, and the President did not want it.
It was forced upon him. He never asked to have the amendment attached to the
farm bill. It was forced upon him, and he is exercising the power because he was
forced to exercise it; a power that he never wanted, and I say it is all illegal and
unconstitutional."
Congressman McFadden: "If the gentleman has been familiar with the activities
of Dr. Sprague over the history of the Federal Reserve System, he well knows that
Dr. Sprague has been in all of the conferences, practically, between the Bank of
