Banking Control,

Six banks in New York control the
stock market. They can elevate or de-
press prices at will. They can make
ready money one, per cent. or 800 per
cent. They have no computations of
conscience, because thye have no con-
science. Here's bank with enormous
deposits. 1t pays no interest; but it's
president and directors speculate with
the money as II they owned it. Why
do people intrust their money to this
institution? What do they get out of
It? II the bank fails the depositors are
ruined.-N. Y. Press.
