OF the United States at the beginning OF
the year 1904
The resources Of the Is, g13 banks and

1913. a few months before the passage
Of the Federal Reserve Act, were re-
ported as SIS, ,712, 10000. On July l, 1915,

PEoNAGE RIFE IN SOUTH.
Department of Justice Has Difficulty
In Obtaining verdicts of Guilty.

/. Peonage continues almost unabated in
the Southern States. despite Federal laws,
and the people of the South give no aid to
the authorities seeking to stamp out the
practice, according to the experience OF
the Department of Justice in prosecuting
peonage cases.
The department averages about one
conviction in fifty peonage cases brought
into court. In fact, unless the prisoner
pleads guilty, 1t is practically impossible
to obtain a verdict of guilty from a South
