In this body we find 27 bankers, representing 2,090 

 associations, with an aggregate nominal capital of $500,. 

 000,000, but a real capital of not less than $2,000,000,000. 

 These men represent the money power and financial brains 

 of the nation. Their interests are identical, so far as legis- 

 lation and the financial policy of the government are 

 concerned, and in direct antagonism to the industrial 

 interests of the people. 



Associated in legislation with them are 274 lawyers, 

 educated and trained to work in the interest of the largest 

 fee. The profession of a lawyer, and all of his education 

 and practice, tend to sear his conscience against justice, 

 equity or principle, and teach him that his highest duty is 

 to serve faithfully the client who fees him, and to do the 

 work he is employed to perform, regardless of all interests 

 outside his client's. This becomes second nature to law- 

 yers generally, and when we couple these facts with the 

 vicious financial legislation of the last twenty years, 

 nearly every act of which has been in the bank interest, it 

 is the sheerest folly to deny that Congress is run by 

 national bankers.
