THE COLLOSAL EVILS OF THE
RESERVE BANKING SYSTEM

We are publishing this week an ar
ticle from the New York Commercial
reporting testimony offered to a joint
tommittee Of Congress.
The accusations made against our
present banking system are direct
and sweeping, but are In line with
much other evidence tending TO show
conclusively that the system is di-
rectly responsible for much of our
fiinacial troubles, :. rc cvrv
= The writer was inclined TO believe
at the beginning OF the period of de-
preston that natural causes, and
lack of foresight among the masses
of the people had caused the i'm
mense slump in prices of farm pro-
ducts and credits. However, as mat
ters develop and information becomes
available from all parts of the coun-
try, it becomes plain that there was
artificial manipulation to help bring
about disaster to business. The
