How Wealth Is Dominated.

Here are sever painful but truthful
facts which stand out strongly In the
testimony Of Mr.. Baker before the COM
mittee:
Frst.-That no great enterprise can
go forward successfully In this country
unless the men at the helm have the
confidence of J. p. Morgan and his as
sociates.
Second.-That the financial situation
In this country today Is subject entirely
to the power of a few men.
Third.-That these men are the arbi-
tiers OF what is right and good for the
remaining 100000 and that their
judgment must be accepted because not
even the government is strong enough
to cope with them.
Fourth.-That competition is a thing
that may exist among large enter
prises. subject again to the judgment
Of the money masters.
Nfth.-That the great system of In
terlocking directories extends over ali
the major industries and that competi-
ton may be killed without interference
from the law.
Sixth.-That Morgan and his associ-
ates have handled every bond issue OF
more than $10.000.O00 in the last dec
ade and that these bond issues carry
the right Of control.
Seventh.-That the ethics OF banking
preclude a bank from financing a con-

cog1a that tt has already

Of his stock to entitle them to exercise
control and that If he would retain the
presidency of the bank for six months
they would purchase It at a certain
figure. They did not have much mon

In themselves. What they practically
did was to get from President Thomp-
son a six months option on the shares
Of the bank. for which they negotiated.
Buys Out President.
The old gentleman had a high admit
ration for the two young men. He
knew them for their worth, for their
application, for their grasp of affairs,
their knowledge of men and Of bank
ing. He was weary of his long years
Of labor, and he accepted their pro-
posai and gave the young men a
chance. The next six months were
very busy ones indeed. Baker and
Fahnestock had to get out and scurry
around to get backing to buy the stock.
They succeeded, and when the half
year was up they obtained control. To-
day these two men are the same friends
that they were when they were bank
clerks together. They occupy the same
box at the opera. All through life they
have gone along side by side. Baker
has climbed higher in financial power,
though Fahnestock is many times a
millionaire. How vast George It. Bak-
er's fortune is nc one but himself
knows.
All these things considered IL isn't
any wonder that Mr.. Baker made the
whole country sit up and take notice
when he took the stand before the
Pujo committee. He virtually admit
ted that he and j.. Pierpont Morgan
constituted power equivalent to a mon
ey trust and that the country might
be wrecked IL this vast power fell into
the hands OF ambitious men,"
He Discusses His Power.
Here Is n bit of interesting testi-
mony by Mr.. Baker:

him on the street engaged In CONVEX

Il said that a visitor once spent six

Mr.. Baker worked up from a clerk
In the First National bank, which he
now controls. 1t was when he was
cashier that the opportunity Of his life
came. Ne grasped 1t instantly and
turned defeat into victory. His assist

which Baker would also be held re

prospective loss. And instead Of being
dismissed they laid the foundations Of
their fortune.

Bill are worth recording. They indi-
cate the spirit in which these noblemen
regard the experiment of comforting
the right of government on the
greatest missionary race in Christen-

Irish Emiaration Decreasing.

The figures of Irish emigration for
January show decline of 46 as COM
pared with the corresponding month
last year. The decline would hardly be
noteworthy but for the fact that the
outflow from Ireland last January was
the smallest since 1909, when the emf
grants numbered 2s,676. Last year
Ireland lost 1884, which, however.
was more than 1000 short Of the fig
ure for the. previous year; and every
diminution Of the monthly outgoing is
therefore, worthy of observation. Last
month GOT emizrants left Ireland. Ul-
ster supplied the majority-311; the
figures for the other provinces being:
