On the left, money is being counterfeited and is labeled “Low-down and Illegal.” On the right, capitalists on “Wall Street” hold papers labeled “Watered Stock” and “Dividends.” Caption: What is the difference morally between making and circulating valueless paper in the guise of money, and making and circulating valueless paper in the form of securities? Both kinds of counterfeits get real money in exchange for fake; only, one kind gets a few hundreds of dollars, perhaps, and then goes to jail, while the other gets millions, maybe, and says: “Don’t! You’ll destroy confidence,” to anybody who ventures to criticise.
