, the country was amusing If we look al
the fact. In February last the ma
tional banks of New York, Chicago
Philadelphia, Boston and st. Louis
held on deposit from the banks and
trust companies throughout the United
States exactly S1,3S2, 363.317. At the
same time the amounts loaned by these
big city banks and trust companies
throughout the United States amount
ed only to s1O9.597,O5s. or less than
per cent OF the money that belonged
to the country banks.
"One of the best results of the new
banking system is that it will put an
end to plutocracy. We had permitted
to grow up IN the United States what
has gotten to be known as the invisi-
BILE government, more powerful in
many respects than the visible gov
eminent. This power has been allow
ed TO reach into the vaults of our
banks. the safes OF our merchants, and
the cupboards OF our housewives. I'm
der the new banking laws this vicious
power. We hope and believe, will be
ended.
We will have fewer giant hold
ings, and the wealth of the nation will
be distributed when and where II is
needed. There will be a decentraliza-
ton OF wealth, a removal of the infu-
ences that now draw to a few centers
the money that is paid out to the rail-
ways, insurance companies. and other
and which should be kept
in the local banks"
