THAT MONEY TRUST.
If the Pujo commiitee of the
house which is engaged in an in
vestigation of the so-called mon
ey trust, accomplishes nothing
else it will have performed a val
uable service to the country in
having made plain the methods
of operation upon Wall street and
have made certain the allegations
that a few men have it within
■their power to control the finan
ces of the nation and to make
times either hard or easy as they
might feel inclined.
For a long time the country
has vaguely felt that there was a
power within the country that ex
erted even more influence upon
The finances of the country than
did the government itself. Upon
This suspicion, for it was little
—more, two political parties
virtually had their founda
tions, the Greenbackers of But
ler’s time, and the Populists. It
has been only at the revelations
made at the hearings of the Pujo
committee that suspicion has be
come certainty, and while it
might be possible that congress
cannot at once provide a remedy
=for existing evils, still with our
present knowledge of conditions
a start can be made that will
eventually lead to the emancipa
-iion of the nation from the thral
dom in which it is now held by
what is undoubtedly a money
■trust.
From admissions made by J.
Pierpont Morgan, the king of
finance, it is found that one hun
dred'and eighty individuals, mem
bers of interlocking directorates
of important institutions having
a combined capitalization of $25,
325,000,000, are in a position to
absolutely control the money of
ih' country. This is an exceed
ingly dangerous power to allow
to rest in the hands of a few men,
especially when (hose men are
closely united in the inanagomenl
of institu!ions which, if they he
allowed to exist ai all. should lie
competitive in character.
Under present conditions the
business of the' country, hanking,
manufacturing, mercantile' and
agricultural, is forced to pay
tributes (o these few men, and the
country, despite most favorable
conditions, can only enjoy pros
perity through Ihc favor of this
most; dangerousi. nf trusts. No
man. or corporation may safely
embark in business of any char
acter unless he has I he sanction
of these men. or at least of the
instil id imis controlled by them,
through som*' of their numerous
branches, ami in tin.* past they
have been able In precipitate a
panic even In a year of abundant
harvests provided if was worth
their \\11iIo. Whether Ibis is as
true now as in the past or not the
fact remains that I he menace is
still here and it is obvious that
now Ihal we know positively of
the character of the money trust,
we must take some decisive ac
tion that will safeguard the busi
ness of (he country and the' wel
fare of the people.

It i a fact that Valdez beer i» a food and not a tonie.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
