“When war was declared, President Lincoln called for… a half million volunteers for 3 years… But how to feed, clothe, and equip them confronted the administration. **President Lincoln called upon the money changers** to come to the Government’s aid. They told the President, **‘Well, war is a hazardous business, but we can let you have it at from 24 to 36%.’** The President and his Secretary are said to have heatedly refused and stated **the terms were outrageous, scandalous, unpatriotic**. They were, of course, greatly disturbed and in a quandary as to what to do and how to get money to prosecute the war, and to feed, clothe, and equip the soldiers and sailors giving their lives to save the Union while the money sharks stayed at home and were growing rich by usurious interest.” **~ Representative Charles A. Anderson of Missouri**; House Congressional Record, p. 9316; July 17, 1939; citing *Appleton’s Annual Cyclopædia*, p. 296; 1861
