Washington, March 17 Senator
LaFollette woko the Senato up today
with one of tho most scathing at
tacks that nas yet been hurled nt the
flnnuclal bill of his 'fellow Republi
cans from R bod o Island, Senator Al
drlch. Ho denounced tho measure,
as one not of reform or benefit to tho
smnll banker and tho honest busi
ness rann,. but as a cloak In which to
oxtond moro Uborty and license to
tho stock gamblor and high financial
Jugglers of Wall street.
"It Is not the people, chnrgnd with
losing confidence, who arproRponsl
blo fpr our present Bac, financial
plight," declared the speaker, "but
tho autocrats of Wall street and the
powerful members of 'the Bystcm,'
tvhn hrnittrtit thla nintn nt ftffnlm
about doMboratciy and knowingly
anu tor tneir own prom anu person

Ho thon declared that tho law
making rnllrnad bonds scourlty for

the purpose of cnnbling men of tho
John D. Rockefoller and J. Plorpont
Morgan stripe to control tho coun
try's financial system, and make pos
sible tho dovourlng of thf ontlro sys
tem of legitimate commercial bank
ing by tho new-fang'od and Illegal
system of "flnanclnl banking."
He declared that the natlonnt
banks uio th Interest In trust com
panion ns a convonlonce for covoring
thlr own Illegal actions.
Assorting thnt tho country Is slow
ly but rteadlly ontwlned In the ton
tlole of a giant octopus. Senator
La Folletto charged that evon today
tho Stnndnrd Oil and Morgan Inter
ests are virtually one. Ho assorted
that H dlrectom of the National City
Bank of Now York, the Standard
Oil's Institution, are hoad of combi
nations representing nnd controlling
38 orr cent of the Industrial truata
of the country.
"As a rosult of this consol
idation and Interconso'ldatlon of
Interest and the npproachmont
of tho x ono big International
monopoly." declared Sonator La Fol
lette, "capitalists have multiplied
tholr wraith boyond helr ow nnblH
ty to estimate with anything like a
decree of aceuraey. In tho face of
this tho railroads, posslb'y the big

danger alarm, driven the people Into
a panic, and Isaugurated a policy of
whole-ale reduction of service and
wages, Jn order to ereato an opinio
against a rate law designed to curb
their arrdganco and gred. To

plunge a nation into the depths of
