They unhesitatingly impugn the the
motives of the men of Wall street,
and try to make them appear as pub
lic enemies. This the silver men do,

Street financiers are sentimental phi
lanthropists eager to sacrifice them
selves for the benefit of their neigh
bors. They are shrewd business men
keenly alive to their own interests.
