Progress Of Revolution i'm the Nineteenth
Century, Real Governments Of the United
States.
During the last forty years, it has been generally
supposed that the great movement of modern times
was a revolution, taking away the power of the feu-
dial arisocracy, and giving it to the modern demo-
cracy The election which closed Thursday night
tells different tale.
The history of events in France and England dur
ing the last twenty years. gives aso the coup de grace
to this postuae. Both these countries since the erm-
nation of Napoeon's power, have been governed by
the mysterious element of Finance, new power in
society," equal to that of in physics, evolved
under the action of the banking system. From the
cra>of Hampden and Sidney in England, who began
the great revolution in that country up to the day
which Napoleon assumed the purple, democracy
which is the power of numbers-the sway of the loco
focos the potency Of rags and dirt and alcehol-has
been the great eemen, of government in all civilized
nations.
Since the defeat and death OF Nap oeon, demecra-
cy has declined both in Europe and America, and
new organization of the social system has taken
place guided directed and controlled by the principles
of Finance and the power over Currency, embra-
eed, like eggs in the golden goose in the Banking
System In the three great civilized communities of
modern times, England, France and the United States,
this new and mysterious principle Of government,
religion, society, every thing-this organization of the
ALMIGHTY DOLLAR, under the name of Finance
or the Banking System has been developed in some
of the most beautiful nd engaging lights During
the last ten years. the number of banks have been
increased in England from so to 350-n France,
from one to LOOM the United States from $50 to 900
The great science OF Finance, the regulator Of the
pocket-whsh is the regulator of the head-whch
possesses equal power over man and lovely woman,
has advanced TO height utterly unknown in all past
times.
This science originated with the Hebrews, that
cent people Of God during the middle ages thus show
ing this mysterious people actually giving 10 cviliza
ton, not only religion, but government and
cial principle that entirely sets at neught the sent-
ments and Influences which were communicated to the
iast century by the spirit Of Greece and Rome. Both
these countries, Greece and Rome, fierce democ-
racies" and fierce democraces" always lead either
to military despoli.m, as in the three cases of Rome
England and France, in the times Of Cesar, Cromwell
and Napoleon, or to rivalry DIVISION intestine wars
as in the history of Athens and Sparta, ending also
in the despotism Of or foreign land, first of Alexan
der the Great and latery in the domination OF Rome
The science Of Finance and the Banking System
form the only true element Of civlIzaton-and peo-
pie governed regulated and controlled under that in
Auence il equally secured from the despotism of de-
mocracy or of aristocracy. Finance bears a congo
NAL hue to the high intellectual character Of Christi
anity, both being the product of the Hebrews,
municaied to this lower world through that mys,er-
GUS people
These are views which have long filled our mind
and these views, by the result of the great popular
election which closed Thursday night in this city,
has received further and deeper confirmation.
During the last six or ten years, Finance has gov.
erned this country, and the holy banking system has
attained fair and honest sway. Oar bankers are
our legislators and our Leading 6nancisrs the master
spirits Of the age"
About the years 1890 or '95, the system began in
this country, by the establishment Of a bank at Bos-
ton, another in New York, and another in Phlladel-
ehia These were the seed sown in good ground
Since that time they have grown up TO 900 banks,
spread all over the country but the power great
elements Of conrol-sill exist the original locale
In 1925 to % finance and banking began to control
thought govern the country, give energy to business
building, making love, and marrying. The military
hero generally denomnated /" Old Hickory" bat in
fact an "Old ASS" was the first that had to bow his
neck-and stiff one il wss-to the new master spi.
nt. His successor, Mr.. Van Buren,, is only agent
Of the same mysterious power-sc IS Mr.. Webster,
Mr.. Clay, Mr. Calhoun.
The whole legislation Of this country-its religion,
its sysiems-its all are in the power OF hebanks and
