OUR cOUNTRY'S WEALTH
AND THE PEOPLE.

The following is from Judge Peter
S. Grosscup's recent speech at club
banquet in Chicago:
What | wish to state as a fact is
that the ownership and control of the
property of the country, almost as fast
as it passed into corporte form, pass
ed away from our reople. The farm
er's boy is still helping his father and
his brothers raise their crops, but it is
from the machine shop that he helps,
and in those Incorporated shops he
has no interest as proprietor. The
merchants clerk is stiil selling mer-
chandise, but he remains an employe
only. The skilled workman, who for
unerly owned the shop in which he
worked is succeeded by workman
who has never been thought of in
connection with the proprietorship in
the trade to which he belongs.
THE capital of the country-the
greatest portion of it is still the
wealth of the people at targets no
longer invested, directly by its own
ers In the country's industries. Ac-
cumulating in the great money cen.
tiers. the entire inyestible capital OF
the country has become the reservoir
out of which only the comparatively
few who do own the industries have
been enabled to acquire their own
ership. Resting almost exclusively
within the hands of the few great
money kings, this great wealth, col
lected together from all over the ceun-
try and still the wealth of the people,
is utilized one day to promote spec
u;ation and the next day TO close out
the victims caught, thus turning the
wealth of the people at large into the
that entraps. and then
skins, nearly every American who
looks upon a corporate share as
thing that was expected to appeal to
his property instinct"
