NeN AofA SourD1.
The latest monster 10 Wall street Is
the money trust. 1t has just gobbled
up the Globe National Bank Of Boston,
which failed with creditors to the
amount Of sIo, 900, 900.
The Money Trust Is the creation Of
John d. Rockefeller, the brains Of an.
other trust-the Standard Oil-of J..
Pierpont Morgan and Of the innuner-
able tribe Of capitalists that are at.
tached to them.
The money trust has q valuable
friend in the person Of Lyman J. Gage,
Secretary Of the United States Treas
ury.
This gentleman, who has been
closely associated for 8 great many
years with other members Of the Money
Trust, a few weeks ago provided about
sl2, o0O, 900, belonging to the United
States, for the Money Trust, with
which n AnnmDlishAd the grabbing

A year ago John d. Rockefeller re-
marked to his right-hand man, Il. Il.

amount Of money to be made out Of th
metal, for copper Is consumed in tn
mendOus quantities in the ever-increa
ing branches Of the electrical busine
and q thousand different trades.
nj When Mr.. Rockefeller ANNOUNCES
that be was ''going into" copper,
meant that he was going into 1t 4

Some OF the most valuable copper
mines in the country were owned BY
the family Of A. s. Bigelow, q Boston
banker. Mr.. Bigelow was . director
Of the Globe National Bank, which has
Just been wrecked, and a leading owner
of several important copper mines,
among them the Boston and Montana,
which is one OF the richest mines In the
world. The Rockefellers wanted these
mines, No copper trust could be CON-
pleted without them. The RDckeiel.
lers tried 10 buy these mines, but fall.
ed, Mr.. Bigelow declaring that The
price offered was entirely inadequate.
BE preferred to keep bis mines and
run them himself.
The RockefsllsrS knew q thing OF
two. They had not formed the OH
Trust for nothing. They FURNISHED Up
their memories. They thought ovel
their old methods Tor forcing rehnerl
TO sell out 70 them. Such methods
would do Just as well 10 the case Of cop,

They began hammerlug the msrksI
