You have heard of Wall street9 Do
you really believe there is such a place.

great stately buildings in which the

spectators in grain and stock do daily
congregate. Ia these great buildings
are the laws of the United States made

great daily papers of the nation con
trolled. Here are the measures of re-
lief for the people either defeated or
vetoed.
You don't believe this? You still
think this nation ruled by the voice
and vote of her citizens, and that laws
are passed solely with a view to the
interests of the peoples You think the

plutocrats are hob-goblins that figure
only in the diseased imaginations of
calamity howlers9 Read what follows,
and open your eyes to the truth.
There lives in Wall street one Henry
Clews, a banker. He is also an editor.
He sends out every week a small sheet
known as the Weekly Financial Re
UietO. This paper circulates PARTICULAR
ly among bankers and spectators. On
the first page is an article which is sent
out to the newspapers in circular form.
The other three pages are for the special
information of subscribers. How do
we know these things? The question
Is easily answered:
About two weeks ago this Office re-
ceived one of Henry Clews' circulars
part of which was published with COM
ments. A few days later a gentleman
brought into the Office one of Mr..
Clews' four-page sheets which he said
he had secured from a banker of this
city. The first page was identical with
the circular. Now we propose to give
our readers the benefit of some of the
confidential matter for bankers and
spectators which this ReUieW con
tains.
The following is under the head of

although it may and probably will pass
the Senate, the President will be very
to send it to the Attorney General
to determine the constitutiouality of
the measure, and of course he cannot
fail to declare it constitutional, and for
that reason the President will be unable
to affix his signature, and if the friends
of the bill have anyone to blame it will
be the Attorney-G General and not the
for the failure of the meas
ure to become a law.

The recent alarm about the outflow of

3. July 81, 1927 the anti option

members of Congress who have intri-

to be regarded as public enemies to the
