'REPREsENTATIvE MEN,


august Belmont is not merely an individual
banker and broker He is and has long been
the accredited and confidential agent in this
country of the great European banking house
of the brothers Rothschds-by far the veal
thiest family in the world, and the managers of
the gigantic Loans by which the European des-
pots retain their subjects in vassalage or reduce
them again when they have revoted. He came
here as the protegf and servant of that house,
TO which we believe he is related.
He is and has long been the Austrian Consul
General for this country, and was designated by
Cheyalier Hulsemann, (when the latser aban-
doned his post as Austrian Charge d'Afaires
at Washington as the official channel through
which our Government might communicate
mediate, trusted confidential agent Of the
Austrian Government in this country.
This August Belmont is one Of the most act
i've and influential members of the secret or
ganization of capitalists and notables who fur
nish the funds and otherwise engineer the can
vass for Pierce and King. We are well assured
that he has subscribed and paid Ten Thousand
Dollars towards the electioneering expenses of
the Sham Democracy
Do you believe the Austrian Consul would
plunge so deeply into our Presidential contest
if he did not presume that the success of Pierce
would CRAFTY his European patrons and mas
tersl We do not
Do you believe it is his own money he is
spending 80 freely in this contest We do
not Ask those who know him well whether
he is a man likely 10 lavish his own money in
any public cause We believe he is spending
European money, contributed by the manuiac
turing capitalists and bankers of the Old
World TO break down or keep down their
American rivals in the struggle for the Amer-
can market. In short we believe the money heis
spending to elect Pierce and King was sent here
to break down American Manufacturing Indus
try and reduce us to Colonial dependence on
Europe for Fabrics and Markets
And he is but one among many who are
spending mOney--we are confident not all their
own-for the same ends The British capitalists
interested in Manufactures could well afford TO
pay Five Millions of Dollars for victory which
would secure them their present advantages in
our markets for four years longer. Aud they
are mainly shrewd, polite, scheming, far-seeng
men. They understand paying out dollar to-
day in order to secure many dollars by-and-by
That they feel deep interest in the result of
our Election The London Times, Economist,
Manchester Examiner, &c, &c, have already
assured us. Do you believe that they would
surrender their present control of our markets
when few hundreds of thousands would prob
ably save it We do not
Friends of American Industry arouse
Where dOyOu suppose the immense amounts
of money come from which are being expend-
ed in this city and vicinity in behalf of Pierce
and King Stealing the oil for their torch
light professions from the Corporation does
not account for One-tenth of il. We say the
money comes indirectly from those who have
the deepest interest in Pierces election and
are the best able TO pay the shot-namely,
the European rivals of our infant and struggl.
ing manufactures. Lord BrOugham said in
1916, after the Peace, that il was wise for the
British TO make any necessary sacrifice in
order TO crush in the germ the rising manufac-
tures OF the United States. Aud the senti.
ment has been frequently reiterated by equally
high authorities on that side
