Petition on Bank Directors and Class of Petitioners
An analysis of a petition to reduce interest rates lists twenty three bank directors and 193 signers. It infers the signers are small borrowers or workers, estimating aggregate wealth at not less than ten million dollars, about one third of the commonwealth’s banking capital. The classes represented include capitalists, commission merchants, auctioneers, treasurers, dry goods dealers, retirees, clerks, and miscellaneous others.
