Latest Wall st. Move.
The latest move of the Wall Street
gang was carefully prepared over a
period of time. In the first place 1t
must be remembered that the greater
portion of banking c. pital is purely
fictitious, consisting of certificates Of
indebtedness (bills Of exchange), gov
eminent securities (Which represent
spent capitaD, and stocks claims on
future yields of production). This
fact was long ago dealt with by
Marx. AS long as capitalist produc-
ton operates on a scale sufficient to
enable the bankers to realize inter-

capital these institutions operate on
what is called a Sound basis" But
