WE'D LIKE TO KNOW

: Aside from the criticisms of
1. several paid critics, we have
!. read no real contradiction in
/. the public press of his numer-
!. Gus and violent attacks on
i. what he dominates the sys-
+ TEN" meaning thereby the.
: method employed by the great
= financiers to fleece the confid-
+ ing public by stock jobbing
+ manipulations.
+ So serious and startling are
i. his charges that the public Won
+ ders that those against whom
= they are directed do not retail
+ ate through criminal procedure.
+ Are these wholesale charges
!. of knavery, placed at the doors
j. of names great in the financial
+ world. true? 1t would almost
= seem that they are, from the re-
1. luctance that obtains in their
+ reputation.
+ Did Lawson deal in generali-
i. ties alone, failing TO designate
1. what stocks have been manipu-
+ lated for the profit of the job
j. bers, or fail to say who are the
+ thieves fleeing the people, his
+ Trades would carry no weight
I
i. from believable.
+ But. indeed, all his attacks
+ are open, the men being named
1. and the stocks and the corpora
+ tions which are being worked
+ through the system to fleece
+ the American people, given in
+ full. Amalgamated Copper is
+ laid before the public as are the
+ pages of an open book. So plain
+ ly is the Juggling of this great
+ stock and the sale of untold
+ millions of the "watered varie-
+ ty given in detail to the public
+ that there can be no misunder-
+ standing, no doubt, as to whom
T. are charged with thievery and
+ deception.
+ We would really like to know
+ If these attacks are generally
: believed. The silence of the
+ giants of finance does not dis
+ prove them. 1t is true no man
/. is compelled to deny a false
= charge: yet, where worldwide
+ alarm is the result of these OPP
/. en- charges, men who sell to the
+ public are under certain obliga-
1. tions to at least take the public
: into their confidence and satis-
i. fy them as to the untruth of
+ Mr.. Lawson's wholesaie charges.
+ The conduct of the Equita-
+ BILE Life Association. the expos
Z ure of which was the result of
+ one of Lawsons attacks, Ger
+ tainly does not reassure the
i. people. Contrawise, the only
: deduction that can be made is
1. that majority of his now cell
+ ebrated charges must be true.
/. The alarm and apprehension
1. over the Lawson expose is not
+ that there is stock gambling:
+ this has existed doubtless al
l. ways; but it arises in far more
+ alarming form, because it is
I. well nigh unbelievable that the
1. men in whom the people have
+ placed unreserved and unswerv-
+ ing confidence upon matters of
+ finance are the princes in the
+ operations which fleece the peo-
+ pie and whose knavery and eff
+ frontery in the hotation and ex-
+ ploitation of their damnable
+ schemes are far more reprehen-
+ sihle than the commonest thief.
+ Lawson promises to break
+ down the fabric of stock job
+ bing operations: to dislodge
+ from their seats in high places
: wolves in sleeps garb, even as
+ Christ drove from the temple
+ the money changers robbing the
I. common people. A social and
+ financial cataclasm may come,
+ but n chastened and pure result
I. be attained.
