CHAPTER II.
HOW BANKS ARE FORMED.

HOW BANh Af1E fORMED.
ANY five persons can form a national
bank by uniting under their hands in
making an organization certificate which
must specially state:
First. Title-The name assumed by
such association; which name shall be
subject to the approval of the comptoller
of the currency.
Second Location-The place where it's
operations of discount and deposit are to
be carried on, designating the state, ter
ritory or district, and the particular city,
town or village.
Third. Capital Stock-The amount of
capital stock, and the number of shares
into which the same is to be divided.
Fourth. Shareholders-The names and
place of residence of the shareholders.
and the number of shares held by each of
them.
Fifth. Object of Certificate-The fact
that the certificate is made to enable
such persons to avail themselves of the
advantages of this title.
The above certificate must be duly ac-
knowledegd before a judge of a court of
record as notary public then transmit
ted to the comptroller of the currency
who shall carefully preserve the same in
his office.
When all this is legally done, the asso-
citation becomes a body corporation, in
other words a national bank, and under
its corporate name, have power:
First, Seal-To adopt and use a cor
poration seal.
Second, Term of Existence-To have
succession for the period of 20 years from
it's organization. unless it is sooner dis
solved according to the provisions of it's
articles of association, or the act of it's

SEVENTY DAYS FOR KISSING
HIS WIFE.

Lewis Weiniger was released from
the Hudson county, New Jersey, Jail
at Hoboken On the 14th inst, where
he had been confied seventy days on
the charge Of having kissed his own
wife at his own home. He was caught
in the act by Hoboken detective.
The Journal welcomes Weiniger back
to the world, and hopes he will not
soon be caught again in the act OF
committing so great a crime. We
also thank the trial court and Jury
who sat on the case for declaring that
after keeping a man in Jail seventy
days and his wife twenty-six days in
jail for kissing each other, declared
that man in New Jersey has right
in that state, and especially In Hobo
ken. to kiss his own wife in his own
home.
But the court will do the world
greater favor if it will decide whose
business it is to restore that little
restaurant at 4Ol Bloomfield street
that was closed up because Of the ar
rest of Weiniger and his wife? Whose
business is it to restore the broken up
home that was SO full of promise and
hope at the time the arrest was
made? Who must compensate Mr..
and Mrs. Weiniger for the disgrace
and persecution Of term in Jail since
it was decided that a man has law
ful right TO kiss his wife in New Jer-
sey il he wants to and his wife is will
ing? What rights have working
man that Jersey courts and her blood
hounds Of the plutocrats are bound to
respect? We presume that a working
man in Jersey has right to serve as
a newer Of wood and drawer Of wa.
ter for heartleSs master. but when
he gives any evidence of happiness or
affection he usurps the rights Of the
rich and must 'punished.-St. Louis

have now become very voluminOus, COW
ering 1000 pages in ALL 1t is through
this vast mass of fact and figures, if not
fiction, that am compelled to search out,
analyze, and arrange the matters so as to
be comprehended by the American vot-
ers. 1t is a huge cOncern-how very
huge will be better understood when it is
known that the number Of employees of
this bureau are 80, and the yearly pay roll
costs the government $206,2532 exclu-
sive Of all contingent expenses.
This vast octopus has fastened upon
the treasury of the United States, and it's
tentacles the banks, are sucking up
every dollar of money which should be
in circulation and transferring them to
the capaciOus monsters nav.
The fact that the law makes it unlaw-
full for the comptroller or deputy comp
troller to be interested in any banking
association has been wholly evaded-so
completely that nearly, if not all these
officials, have been bankers when ap-
pointed, and with equal unanimity when
relieved, returned to banks as presidents
or cashiers. The average mind will be
forced to conclude that from the first
comptroller down the banking influence
has controlled this bureau which con-
more closely than tariffs, and perhaps,
the free coinage of silver.
Thus while the law enjoins complete
divorcement of the heads of this bureau
from banks, the appointing powers has
not preserved even the appearance of le-
gal compliance. AS we'll might the Ethi-
opian change his skin, as to expect one
like John J. Knox, born in a bank, to
change his life's associations. And we
submit, if the others are any better.
The people have right to expect un-
fair treatment from such men at the
head of the bureau, and the following
chapters that follow, will simpy tell a
plain. truthful story of what has been
done under it's operation, and leave the
readers to form their own conclusions. l
state the facts without comment where
possible, and if the truth hurts, blame
the ones responsible.

man and Less For MonopO-
lists Needed.

l have heard a good deal about
European and Asiatic wages, but
there is class rapidly forming in
this country that is as poorly paid as
the same classes in those parts of the
world. The factory operatives in this
country are as poorly paid as in any
other country, but l have another
class in my mind. Take the janitOr
in the building where the Appeal is
located He scrubs and rubs from
morning until night for the wage of
$25 month. Let US figure up where
he will be at the end Of year, if he
has no sickness nor loses any time:
He pays per week.
So for board-52 weeks. .3156 90
$l.25 for room 81 weeks. ..... $500
40 for laundry 81 weeks. ...... 2O.S0
IOUal. l............... ...... .$24l.oO
Wages for one year. r............ $500. 90
Balance. e......................$ $500
In other words, he gets less than SIS
a month and board and washing and
room. Out of this he must clothe
himself and never get sick or spend
anything for tobacco or beer or the
atre or lodge dues or picnic-absolute-
ly nothing, else he will be in debt. He
is man in the primo Of life, but
when he gets old he will have nothing
but the poor house ahead Of him.
Don't you think he is valuable Gus
toner to tailors and shopkeepers and
theatres and lectures? This is cheap
er than ever chattel slaves were. A
farmer told me the other day he could
get all the hands he wanted at $50
year and found. Just board and
clothes. Boys and young women are
mplOyed in all the stores at less
wages than will buy decent food. And
the thing is getting worse. While no
one can deny the fact that men and
women can and do create more wealth
in three hours than they could in
twelve hours fifty years ago. they are
getting in far worse condition. Capt.
talism gets all the advantage and la
borers are poorer all the time. The
10 to Is cents day paid Chinese will
board, clothe, wash, house and give
them as many comforts as the miser-
able pittance paid a large and in
creasing class Of American working
people. How long are you going on,

cans, and making more millionaires

are you going to force into starvation
before you will cease to be bambooz-
led by the old party politicians and

NINE CENTS A DAY.

In England, railroad employees have
a hard time of it; they are worked
even longer hours and receive much
lower wages than their class in this
country. A late official report shows
that there are in the English railway
service about 400, 900 men. OF these,
10000 get s. a week or less; 100, O9O get
$3.50 q week or less; and so on up to
the highest paid employees, who aggre-
gate $4,000 men, and are paid 30 OF
more u week. So that more than

and the best of them receive less than
