the House of Representatives had ceased
to exist 1t was absolutely controlled
now, he said, by few men and the great
est trust in the country today was the
legislative trust.
Mr.. Bell also severely criticised the
banking bill, now pending in the House,
which he said, proved that the national
banks are fair weather institutions and
could not stand the stress of financial
storms.
