A DIVIDED WALL STREET.

Wall street admits the existence of
a Money Trust that IS a menace to
the country. Wall. street berates
Woodrow Wilson because he reiter-
ates his intention to proceed against
the unlawful powers of Big Business
and Big Finance.
Morgan defied the Money Trust,
and several witnesses more or less re-
luctantly concede that II is a menace
to the country. Morgan described
the mode of concentration by which
control of money and credit has come
into the hands of corporations, and
control of these corporations has
been centralized in the hands of a
few men.
Schiff, the latest to testimy declares
that he is opposed to concentration
though corporations are holding COM
panies. Before him, Reynolds, head
of the second largest bank in the ma
| ton. the Continental and Commercial
National of Chicago. declared that
wealth concentration is a danger tc
the country. Before him, Baker. one
of the triumvirate holding the ulti-
mate power. admitted that concentra-
tion has gone far enough-that the
country now is virtually at the mer'
cy of the few men at the top. Scheer'
er, manager of the New York Clear
! ing House, conceded that the immense
power ought to be under regulation b!
law. In one way or another, wheth

that was no reason why his
