<<xxyy ELL, SIR," said MT. Dooley,
 N/ 'haYe ye taken ye'er
 w money out iv tn bank? Are ve wan iv thim mad an impechuse prooletaryans that has been altahlh tn Gibyraltars is finance, COW ru liiae we are to want yeer money Tn d hurry, or are ye not? l see be tn LOOK " ye'er face that ye are not. fe nave been brave man; ye have hao lalth in tn future iv our country; ye nave perceived that our financial lnstytu- fions are sound if they are nawthlhg else. Ye understand that lts upon fh' self-resthrant iv men like tn likes iy ye that tn whole credit " th nation depinds. I read it in tn pa-apers, an 'tis thrue. Besides, ye have no money in tn bank Tn on'y way ye or me cud rightly exthricate amy money firm a bank wud be be means " brace an bit
 'sNo matther. 'Tis you that has done it. l give great credit to George B. Cortilyoo, J. Pierpont Morgan, Lord Rithschild, lawn D. Rockyfellar. tn banks iv Amerky, tn clearing house comity tn clearing out comity, an all tn brave an gallant fellows that have stood firmly with their backs to tn ! wall an declared that amy money taken out iv their institutions wud be taken over their dead bodies. They have behaved as American gintlemen shud behave whin foorce iv circum- stances compels thim to behave that way. But if in this tur-rible emergency am obliged to tell tn truth, I've got to confess to ye that tn thanks iy th 1afa 1,IYf jal, are due to tn boys that niyer had a cent in tn banks, an niyer will have. They have disturbed none iv our insti- tutions. No great leader iy finance has turned green to see wan iv thim tryin' to do tn leap f'r life through a closed paying teller's window. Tn fellow that with wan whack iV a ham. mer can conyart steer into an auty- mobill or can mannyfacther a pearl necklace out iv two dollars worth iv wurruck on a slag pile has throubled no wan Yere tn boy in this imer- gency. Hinnissy. Tn other mornin l was readin' tn pa-apers about tn panic in Wall Sthreet, an though I've niver seen annything all me life but wan continyal panic felt low in me mind ontil looked up an see ye go by with ye'er shovel on yeer shouldher, an me heart leaped up. l wanted to rush to tn tillygraft office an wire me frind, J. Pierpont Morgan: Don't be down cast It's all right. I just see Hin missy go by with his shovel
 .'No, sir, ye can bet it ain't tn peo- ple that have no money that causes panics. Panics are tn result iy too nanny people havin' money. Tn top iv good times is hard times an tn bot tom iv hard times is good times. Whin I see wan man with shovel on his shouldher dodgin' eight thousand auty mobills l begin to think 'tis time to put me money in me boot.
 ."Tis hard fir me to understand whats goin' on" said MT Hinnissy. .sWhat does 1t all mean?"
 .'sTis something ye wudden't he ix- picted to know" said MT. Dooley. "Tis what is known as credit. I'll explain it to ye. F'r th' sake iv argymint we'll say we're shoemaker. Oh, 'tis on'y fir tn sake iv argymint. lvrywan knows that burly fellow like you wudden't be at amy employmint as light an eliminate as maxim shoes. But supposin' fir tn sake iv areymint ye'er shoemaker. Ye get two dol lars day fir maxim forty dollars worth iv shoes Ye take part iv ye'er III gotten gains an leave it with me 1 fr dhrink. Afther a while I take tn l
