WHAT WILL BE THE OUTCOME7
And whittier Arc We Drifting?
It is we'll known to all who are old
enough to know that during the re-
bellion England gave all her sympathies
to the South.
That she could have done no more
than she did do to secure the overthrow
OF our Republic unless she had ac-
knowledged the independence of the
Southern Confederacy.
They rejoiced that the american
bubble" had burst.
There is no doubt at all but their
sympathy and aid given to the South
prolonged the war very much, and was
the cause of much loss Of life and ex-
pense Of money.
In the very nature Of things it could
hardly be otherwise.
Monarchy is opposed to republican
government.
Kingcraft and royal blood is, and
must be. opposed to goye. lent by the
people.
The perpetuity and stability OF gov.
ernment by kingcraft depended solely
on the failure Of republican govern
ment. Hence. self-interest prompted
them to aid a. much as they possibly
could in the destruction Of our repub-
Lie.
Their failure in seeing the desired
end accomplished-that is, the death
Of the republic doesn't prove, nor tend
to prove, that they love our govern
ment any better than they did when
they were plotting our destruction.
In the face of all this, how surpris-
ing and humiliating it is to be COM
PEELED to recognize the fact that our
trusted rulers have given us away COM
pletely to our enemies.
They have patterned after the En-
glish Government in q way that must
rob the people of liberty, and, il con-
tinued, land rs where the masses Of
Europe are.
Our enemies have been permitted to
dictate to us our financial policy in
toto.
Our money is to have gold basis
and its volume regulated by the NJ
tional banks.
The national banks, as system, were
conceived in London, and intended
solely as . means of regulating the
volume of money in order to control tho
price Of labor and its products.
The national debt was not to be paid.
The people were to be made believe
that national debt was q national
blessing. And then o system of debt
making was on the programme.

money from Europe; loan agencies were
to be established in every town and
county in the nation.
And then, having loaned on land at
one-third its value, the policy was 70
contract the volume of money and make
it impossible to lift the mortgage. and
by this process transfer the peoples
homes into Shylocks hands.
The policy is certainly working to
Shylocks' entire satisfaction.
Half the farms of Illinois and many
other States and two.thirds, perhaps, n
Kansas are under mortgage, and, q
the case now stands, it is as certain a
fate that the toilers lose their homes.
The lands are floating into the grip
Of the rich landlords, as certainly and
IS quietly as drift-wood floats on the
bosom Of the Mississippi River to tho
Gulf.
This is the end desired by the Shy.
lock crew. Our country is to be land
Of landlords and tenants. Of masters and
slaves.
Debts have accumulated since the
war, from $4,000, 900, 900 to 81, ,000,-
OOO, 900 or more.
Silver is to go out Of the domain Of
money, if fShylock can have his way, ~
as to make it doubly impossible ever to
pay the debts, or save tho lands to the
people. Our treacherous traitor rulers,
for British gold, no doubt, have sold
their country to their country's worst
enemies.
We had just as we'll, during the last
twenty years, sent over to London and
imported our rulers. Especially our
Secretaries cf the nited States Treas
urX.
Every suggestion and recommends
tion Of our bitterest British enemies
has been promptly complied with.
Even our Presidents and Congresses
have made haste to do their bidding, as
much so as ii We owed them debt OF
gratitude commensurate with the Life
Of the nation.
We have come to be little better than
q British colony.
Our citizens in the Territories are
disregarded as to rights of property,
when they me in the way of the land.
lords Of Europe.
They are fenced in, and forced out
and shot down Us wild beasts for pre-
Stunning to contend for their rights.
How humiliating,
How disgraceful.
What is to be the outcome2
After deluging the land in blood x
put down the rebellion, are you going
to quietly submit to be slaves?
II you continue to let either Of tha
parties rule, this will be your fate.
Shylock owns both parties.
He would not turn his hand over 4
change parties.
These are facts.
May the people awake speedily an,
