Text of a speech delivered by Senator Hansbrough before the Bankers’ Association of North Dakota. He begins his speech by pointing out that that the financial speculations on Wall Street have “no relation to healthy business conditions.” According to Hansbrough, when stock brokers find themselves in trouble they appeal to Congress to “save the country.” Hansbrough also discusses the impact of an increase in banks across the country. The speech closes with an emphasis on Hansbrough’s faith in the “American country banker.”
