Was it because you were not Big In terests? You -were, many ot you, high ly financed, and High Finance hekl the mortgage, and to that extent yon be* longed to High Finance. But yon paid big interest to associate with Big In terests. A stack of wheat wasn't as good collateral as a sheaf of scraps of paper held by a stock gambler. Nor did the Political Bosses of the Repub lican party care to give you financial Justice.
