No. 4. Do you want to permit or allow the coercion or sandbaggery of non-member State banks by the Federal Reserve System in its piratical attempts to get its checks collected for nothing? The Supreme Court of the United States frowns on such sandbaggery. Do you favor it?

No. 8. Do you want such a Partiality of Pillage whereby parasitical speculation is coddled and the necessary production of real wealth is throttled?
No. 9. Do you want such a Croesus-like hoarding of gold—now over $3,000,000,000—which menaces the world and which deprives you of even the sight of your own money? And do you like a gold basis buried so deep that you can't even see, nor get, a stiver of it?

No. 11. Do you want pawnbrokering interest rates charged and Shylockery practiced under the aegis of your flag?
