adopted the principles of pic&pockets and thieves.
Are the latter to be punished, and the former to es-

point. In 1926 the managers of several bond com-
panies were indicted and punished for conduct less
danng-less culpable-ess oppressive than that per-
peraed by the broken banks of 1897 The statutes
are clear All the managers of the broken banks,
who continue TO refuse small change TO the people,
are ndicable at common and statute law, and ought
V to be punished, as well the smaller pckpockets.
d VIM should banks he permitted TO hand over their
specie to the large rich exchange houses, and deprive
the poor of their rights There is gross, barefaced,
: palpable, wicked injustice on its face.
There is o remedy in the institutions of free
country for general well individual fraud. Let
great public meeting be called to prepare Indictments
against all the corrupt broken bank managers of New
York. That is the way to bring them to their senses
