raise if we cannot sell it for enough

spiracy against the. money of this
country and against the independ-

London as far back as 1852 Haz
zard, the London banker, then wrote
as follows to his confidential friends
in this country, "slavery is likely to
be abolished by the new power and
chattel slavery destroyed This
and my European friends are in fav

of labor, and carries with it to care
for the laborer; while the European
plan led on by England, is, capitol

can be done by controlling the mon

will see to it is made out of this use.
must be used as the means to con-
troll the volume Of money. TO ac-
complish this the bonds must be u.s.
Jed as the banking basis. We are
now waiting to get the Secretary of
the treasury to make this recon-
mendation to Congress. 1t will not
do to let the green back, as it is
called, circulate as money any
length Of time for we cannot control
them. But we can control
the bonds and through them the
bank issues.
This is known as the Hazard cir.
cular, and larger amount of "a seal
ity was never portrayed in the same
number of words. 1t is not only
rascally, but it is sublimely impu-
dent for this foreign banker to thus
enter upon the work Of plunderng
the American people and to make of
the masses virtual slaves. Yet this
outlined the nationa. financial policy
which we have in the main had for
nearly twenty FIVE years. About all

perate fight has been made and is
being made to conform to the de-
'aands of the conspiracy in that par
ticular. The refusal to use the
large amount of money in the pub
lie treasury, or any part of it, for the
payment of the national debt is in
direct line of Hazards plan. 1.-THE
debt goes the banks must go, as ev-
cry intelligent man knows. But
with the debt the banks stand, and
of course can curtail our circulating
medium to suit themselves. To
make the volume ofcurrency depend
ent upon the whims and self inter
est of private bankers is and always
has been absolute folly. If a gov
eminent is charged more particular
ly with one duty than another, it is
to supply the money of country.
But this government has farmed
that duty out, and done it in strict
accordance with the plan laid down
by London capitalists. In obedi-
ence to the laundering demand of
the people, Congress was compell-
ed to authorize the coinage of silver.
but practically silver is not part of
our circulating medium. The gov
eminent has locked it up, and post-
lively refuses to pay it out. Hence
already Mr.. Hazards plan is work
ing. If matters can go along just as
they arc now going and the corpora
tions can be assured that they will
not be changed, they will have no
hesitancy in ceasing this warfare
upon silver. 1t is not bothering
them any so far as present circula-
ton is Concerned. Hence the search
ty of money.
But what these fellows are sfraid
of is that silver will get out; that
the peoples voice will yet be heard
in such volume that the authorit-
les will need pay some attention to
it, and, therefore, they wish to get
the coinage stopped. After that it
will be easy to get rid of the silver
dollar altogether. The conspiracy
lacks nothing that an evil ingenuity
can suggest, and the honest men who
are throwing their influence against
silver are aiding the most disgrace
full plot against free America that was
ever conceived AGAINST anv neOnlo in
