Dear Sir: The knowledge that
the subject has never been properly
treated, or at least that the most Inn
portant phases OF The SUBJECT have
been avoided by the wr1.ers OF the
present period, snail be nay excuse
Tor addressing you.
Ii you decide, after reading this
communications, mat The writer KNOWS
enough OF Lhe subJecC to be worthy
OF public hearing, you have only
to command me and Will do my
best to bring to the light some
truths regarding latter-day finance
tnaG have been obscured, either by
reason OF lack OF familiarity with
The facts or desire on The part OF
financial writer's to have them re-
main obscured.
All previous attempts to solve the
burning financial questions OF the
times have fallen far short OF the
true sources OF the present financial
unrest.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, while undoubtedly achieving
wonders III the matter Of railroad
and trust investigation, have thus
far succeeded only in uncovering a
great deal Of rottenness and dishon-
esty IN the matter of railway and
insurance management, and up to the
present time, no adequate remedy
for the evils Of over-capitalization
(stock watering-Which are the un-
derlying causes Of all the labor wars,
and other deplorable expressions of
the "under dog''-has been suggest
ed.
That the products of the farm are
numerically taxed, that the burden
of the taxation falls upon producer
and consumer alike is due to the ne
farious practice Of stock-watering
by railroad corporations and other
common carriers.
That nearly all of the troubles
arising from the demands Of organ
lied labor for wage that will enable
them to provide the products Of the
farm and the dairy, and the loom,
for themselves and their dependents,
are directly traceable to the system
of stock-watering and over-capitali-
zation is a fact that may readily be

recognized by any one who takes
The trouble to deIve beneath the sur
face OF things.
That in land Of plenty, such as
ours is, there should exist such a
thing as downright poverty and want
Is due to the crime OF over-eapitali-
zation, added to the criminal prac-
tices OF Wall Street.
That the criminals are aided and
abetted in their iniquitous work by
the national banking Institutions, and
trust companies, as well as the U. S.
treasury, is also a fact that is sub
ject to incontroveltible proof.
THAT ALL FINANCIAL AND
COMMERCIAL DEPRESSIONS,
PANICS, LOCK-OUTS AND
STRIKES, ARE DIRECTLY DUE
TO WALL STREET, AND THE
STOCK MANIPULATORS, is A
FACT THAT rs SUBJECT TO
VERIFICATION.
This is strong statement, but I
can prove it.
There is no legitimate reason for
poverty in this country; there is no
reason for any one being dependent
upon charity for an existence in a
land that is blessed with the nat
ural resources that this country pos
sesses.
The entire category of financial
ills with which the land is afflicted
may be traced to one distinct source,
and that source lies mighty close to
the New York Stock Exchange.
By regulating the business Of the
New York Stock Exchange in man
ner that l can suggest, and in a way
that will In no wise restrict legiti-
mate financial operations, such trans
actions as the notorious "Alton
deal, " international Power deal,"
!" American Shipbuirding DEAL" and
the United States Ste(a)el transac-
tions, will be impossible.
Lawson mUch-touted "remedy"
has been indefinitely deferred, be-
cause, as he says, the people are

held out from the banks.
This is truly prosperous country.
1t takes prosperous people to

that prevail without rising in open
rebellion against the laws that per-
nit these things.
