say, one hundred thousand dollars into a plant worth one million dollars, and just as soon as he gets in control he not only pays himself a big, fat salary, but puts on the payroll his relatives and friends at fat salaries, and runs the concern into so much debt that it is forced into the hands of the receiver, and finally is taken over by the financial swindlers at about one-tenth of its actual value.
 The tricks of the swindling financiers to gain possession of the properties of manufacturers, merchants, publishers, farmers, inventors and home owners, as well as take away the purchasing power of workingmen, are so many and of such an intricate character that it would take a life-time to enumerate and explain them all.
