would II not be far more becoming to
criticise the law which forces this
condition rather than 10 criticise the
men who under the law have the con-
dition forced upon them?
FORCES LEGISLATION.
"As one who has been accused Of
admitting that the money power un-
der existing conditions, or the power
to extend credit in times OF crises,
rests in the hands of a few bankers
in this country whose institutions car
ry the surplus banking reserves, l
have for three years past been making
plea to the people OF this country to
assist in securing legislation provid-
ing for a system Of banking and cur
rency, which 1t is believed, will very
materially decentralize the money
power by placing il within the control
of several thousand banks, rather
than to have it literally controlled by
the bankers in the central reserve
cities, as at present.
so far as | know and believe, the
majority of the bankers in the central
reserve cities recognize the enoTmity
OF the responsibility which rests up
on them under the existing law and
would welcome any legislation that is
just and fair. which would both minim-
ize this responsibility and free them
from the unjust accusations that are
constantly being made against them.
The banks OF the country are the
servants and not the masters of the
people, and it is always to their ad-
vantage to serve the people provided
conditions are such that they can do
so without an infraction Of the bank
ing law"
BANKERS WILL NOT OBJECT.
In conclusion, Mr.. Reynolds said:
II do not believe the bankers of the
country will enter the slightest oD-
lection TO the making OF d coInprehCu.
sible investigation OF the banks by
those charged by the. house with that
responsibility, so long as such inves-
tigation does not require them 10 dis
close to the public the confidential re,
lations existing between themselves
and their customers. the divulgence of
which might greatly embarrass the
customer and thereby do serious in.
jury to the banks. In my opinion the
banks should, and believe they
would TO the limit of their ability tc
do so, decliLe 10 make this informa
tion public.
III q banker can be forced to dis
close a confidential relationship be
tween his bank and its customer. il
would require but short step further
10 capitalize for the qualification OF

Il cannot believe a condition exists
which can begin 10 justify such dras
