Getting Around the Law.

Under the above caption Holland, Z"
the New York staff correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, describes how the
banks are beginning TO form money trusts
and the big banks, like the big factories,
to devour the little ones.
eve are to have in day or two an
other illustration of the tendency of bank
capital to follow industrial organization
methods, so that there will be a concen-
tration into one group of several banking
institutions. The Corn Exchange Bank,
which is a State institution, and is per-
mitted by State law to establish branch
banks, is building up chain of branches
throughout the eutire metropolitan dis
trict. The national banks are prohibited
from establishing branch banks, but they
have found way to do that without vio-
lating the law. The officers or stock.
holds of one bank buy the stock of some
other bank, and then without giving up
theless direct its affairs as completely as
though 1t were branch.
THE Park Bank, which stands second
i'll amount of deposits and business done
among the national banks of this city,
through individual purchases by its stock
holders and officers, recently came into
possession of one of the banks near Cen
trail Park, and of another bank near
Harlem To-day it is announced that this
bank in like manner is to get possession
of the Nineteenth Ward bank, which is
in Upper Harlem, and which commands
a good business in that rapidly growing
district.
Thus one by one the small banks and
especially those in the suburbs are pass
ing into the control of the greater insti,
tutions. Within the past year seven banks
have been bought by larger banks,
either directly or indirectly, and have
been re-established as branch banks, both
in fact and name, or else in fact, but no,
in name.'

How can the Baltimore Sun find any
warrant in publishing such absurdities
as:-"Mr. Bryan would probably have
been elected President in 1896 if the plat
form adopted at Chicago had not con-
tanned the silver plank"
Every we'll informed person in the his,
tory of the times knows that a million
and half of Populists and thousands OF
silver Republicans would not have touch
ed the Democratic ticket il the "silver
plank" had been omitted, and in place of
probable success the party would not only
have been defeated, but annihilated And
such fate surely awaits the party i'll 1900
if it could be beguiled by gold Democrats
and Republican newspapers to drop
silver.

The Mckinley expansion policy c

The Mckinley expansion policy cost
last month $40 600, 900, while the reve-
nues of the government fell behind the
expenses. Debt and heavier taxation is
before us so sure as the Mckinley Hanna
policy is continued. The Republican
party with its gold standard and long list
of growing evils is showing up grandly.
Expansion of taxes expansion of dead
and wounded, expansion of the pension
list, expansion of the national debt, ex-
pansion of trusts, expansion of harder
times. Does it look as if the people
would be anxious TO expand the reign of
McKinleyism i'll 1900?

Bryan's interview by James Creelman
for the New York Journal, published on
Tuesday, is a clear cut program of the
Bryan campaign Of 1900 There is no
lodging, or expediency policy in it but a
straight, unequivocal reassertion of the
principles fought for in 1896; no chang
ing, or recasting of the platform, or leav-
ing out silver coinage at the old ratio of
16 to I, but the same truths are laid down,
fortified and buttressed by the scandalous
un-American record of McKinley's admin
istration. Bryan is as bold leader as
Jackson and he has the same enemy in
front of him, all English bank power with
an added English imperial policy.
