In his book, The New Freedom: A Call For the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People, chapter 8 Wilson does talk about the money trusts. You have to read the book in order to understand how to interpret this quote. He is alluding to the control of the US by corporations and how that is a bad thing. He sees these money trusts (plural) as an impedance to man's freedom. So he proposes that government could help men be free of encumbrances by things like the money trusts (plural). Why he went and made a single monopolistic money trust, privately held is beyond me. And how he thinks freedom can come through constraint is further beyond me - that is just illogical.
