Banks and railroads rise and decline in a vast market tale
The narrative recalls the First National Bank's 1871 expansion to 160000 capital under E L Davison and C R McElroy, its steady profits and a noted James Brothers abortive raid, followed by the 1890s wave of bank failures and a national credit squeeze. It then surveys banking growth, railroading expansion, wealth concentration, and calls for tax reforms, ending with memories of Springfield leaders and longtime figures like Hugh McElroy and Judge Hayes.
