Dave went through all of the antics of a bashfui baby except sticking his thumb in his face: He scrunched around in tho witness chair, concealed his dusky- hued countenance from the audience. and alternately closed and opened his eyes when he did not permit his face to be seen.
 He plead guilty when addressed by the judge and was asked to tell how he came to do such thing as steal. With dlfidence. he stated that "He seed de kettle in de back yard and tux 1t to a barroom !"

 -our financial system is the siamese twin of the tariff system said Mir. Taylor, land while the financial sys- tenn is the weak brother of the pair, yet they are bound together by the cartilage of Federal protection.
 This is a nation of eighty millions of ordinary mortals, and 5000 banks. The party in power sees only the 5000 This is a nation of many millions of consumers and a few thousand corpor- ations. but the party sees only the cor porations. This is a nation of many millions, who work for their daily bread and few hundred million acres, but the party in power only sees the mil iionaires. The corporations and mill lionaires furnish the sinews of war for the campaign and the party in power furnishes the laws to pile up the fortunes of those who furnished the sinews.
 Tn the midst of this great panic I saw the distinguished Senator from Rhode Island, Mir. Aldrich. chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate. stand upon the troubled wa ters with an emergency bill in his hand. and with a loud voice he cried to the bowling storm, Peace. be still, but there was no peace. And the tempest tossed crew in the golden boat walled their eyes towards mighty Rockefeller and prayed, and they beck oned to Morgan, the king of corpor- ate power. to throw them life line But the two omnipotent financiers could not leave the game on Wall Street to go into the life saving service"
 Have not" he asked in confidence, "the policies of the party in power dragged the country to awful depths when the President of the United States finds 1t necessary to warn both houses of Congress that the republic is in danger of being overthrown by the machinations of concentrated wealth. which is the legitimate result of Republican policies? Is it not time for the country to wake when we are admonisfed by a Republican President to put the bit in the mouth of cen- trailzed corporate power to prevent 1t from tramping under it's hoofs all that is left of liberty and free Govern- ment?"
 At the conclusion of Mir. Taylor's speech, Senator Stewart had inserted in the record figures from the report of the Comptroller of the Currency to show that the wealth of the country was not concentrated in the hands of a few as had been alleged.
