And when they made more profits
than We're needed for such invest
ments-for their profits grew faster
than the wants of commerce. they
invested their surplus profits in
various countries, in lands, in city
honses, in building new railroads,
and in buying vast bodies of lands
in the Tropics, on which they open
ed'up immense plantations, for the
growth of coffee, tea, indigo, rice,
opium, spices and all tropical pro-
ductions.
They started new enterprises
owned by themselves in all the
countries of the globe-tea pIanta-
tio1s in China; coffee plantations in
Java and CeyIon, sheep ranches in
Australia and South Africa and
South America; sugar plantations
in the West Indies and the Sand
which Islands; gold and silver
mines in California, the Rocky
Mountains, Australia, Mexico and
South America. diamond minesin In
dia, and South Africa and Brazil; ru-
by mines in Burmah; lumber mills in
Canada, the United States, Norway,
Sweden and Poland;- city buildings
in all countries, and railroads all
over the world. These and many
other enterprises, employ the bound
less capital of London Money Kings.
Like a great serpent. the London
Money Power is, in our time, envel-
oping the industry of the earth in
the coils of its capital, and crushing
all competitors in it's folds and de-
vouring them. And it has grown so
great and its monopoly of business
is so enormous, that it's annual in
come-from interest on loans-from
rents of houses and farms-from
profits of business-is so vast, that it
is able to take possession of a whole
line of business at once, destroying
all competitors. Woe to the men
who are operating in line of bust
ness which these Money Kings de-
sire to monopolize; they at once en-
velop their feeble rivals in the folds
of their capital, and crush and de-
your them. They now have suff-
cient capital to seize upon and mo-
nopolize all the business of the
earth. And they are rapidly doing

TnE GREAT BED DnAGoN
LONDON MONEY POWER.

When the Rev. L. B. Voolfolk,
of Cincinnati, wrote and published
the GREAT RED DRAGON, OR
LONDON MONEY POWER, he
struck a terrible blow to the wreck
ers of human prosperity and hap
piness. No preacher of the Gospel;
no humanitarian; no friend of hui
man happiness, in the past fifty
years, has done more for the en-
lightment of his fellow country
men and the world, discerning the
aims and objects, and damnable
schemes of the Money Power loca-
ted in London, and dominating the
world.
This wonderful book is the work
of man thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of our DEMONSTRATIONS, and
who has labored with patriotic zeal
along the line OF fact and reason, to
arouse tho American people TO the
terrible dangers that beset the ma
ton and its people.
Americas pride and self.concelt
will suffer a fall when it learns
that its supposed great "Money
Kings" are but the agents of "The
Money London Power" who,
through the agency of these Amer
lean born "Tories" have Influenced
State and National Legislatures to
legalize the methods by which the
products of Americas labor go to
enrich Lombard street sbylocks.
The writer does not deal in sup
position or guess work, but drives
straight to the mark, and proves
his assertions as he goes.
No liberty-loving, country-lov-
ing American, native or foreign
born; no man who loves his home
and his family and his fellow-coun-
trymen; no man or woman, anima-
ted with the spirit of '76, can af-
ford to be without this book. Let
the American people once thor
oughly understand the terrible
facts recorded in this wonderful
book, and there would be such an
uprising of the lovers of liberty as
the world never saw.
We realize how useless it is to at
tempt to do justice to this book in
limited review. Nothing short
of careful reading will give a
shadow of the interest it must ex-
cite in the mind of every lover of
freedom. Below we give extracts
from the book.

PARASITE INVESTMENTS.

PARASITE INVESTMENTS.
Indeed their capital is now so
vast that business operations will
not afford it adequate employment.
They can no longer find adequate
investments for their constantly in
creasing income-in extending their
grand industrial enterprises-in
loansto nations, states and munich
paliti5s-in building ships aud ware
houses and railroads. They can only
find investments in building cities
in bhying up city property-in pur-
chasing and improving immense
bodies of wild lands-in buying and
foredosing mortgages upon i'm
proved farms-and in buying up
breweries, and flour mills, and lum-
Der mills, and various business in
terests all over the earth. They
own almost all those business in
terests now. They will soon own
the rest.
And we shall perceive, as we pro-
ceed, that the Boa Constructor has
our country in almost the same con-
dition as India. If things go on, in
few years more the Money Kings
will own a wider empire of farm
ing lands in the United States than
in India; and the American farmer
will be reduced to the condition of
the Hindoo peasant laborer work
ing for few cents a day, or he may
look on and see lands he has lost
cultivated by the Chinese and Hin
docs. We shall be reduced to the
condition of slaves. There is bot
tomless pit before us. The Money
Power is preparing to plunge us in
to it.
The panic of 1857 was, beyond
question, engineered by the London
Money Kings. They took especial
pains to get possession of the circu-
Iation of the Ohio Trust Company
Bank, whose fall caused the panic,
and they made extraordinary drafts
upon it for specie, amounting to
s35, 900, 900, so as to insure its fall.
OF two things, one is certain
Either the Money Kings owned the
Trust Company Bank, so that they
might drain it of specie. From the
name of the n-"Trust
Company"-in the light of our own
times, when these Money Kings are
starting TRUSTS" all over the world,
it--seems most probable that the
Trust Company Bank was estab-
lished by the London Money Pow
er for the express purpose of using
it as instrument to start the panic.
In either case they are pilloried

/. INTRODUCTION.

l. lNIRODOCIloN.
An Imperialism of Capital has
grown up within the last two CEN
turtles from small beginnings, until
now it is the mightiest power that
has ever existed on the earth. 1t
is an Imperialism mightier than
the empire of the Caesars, grander
than the empire of Napoleon in
the hour of his highest glory. In
comparison with it all other en-
pires sink into comparative insig-
niicance. This Tyranic power is
the Imperialism of Capital, which
l call by way of distinction, the
Money Power.
lsT. THE MONEY POWER DEFINED.
do not mean by the Money
Power to include any persons pos
sessed of property, who are en-
gagged in Independent business en-
terprises. lido not mean any Amer
lean business men, or business
Companies engaged in independent
business enterprise, whether they
be farmers, merchants, manufac-
turers, bankers, miners, builders,
or persons engaged in any depart
ment of business enterprise. The
Imperialism OF Capital to which i
allude is knot of capitalists-Jews
almost to q man-who have their
headquarters in the Money Quarters
of London, in Threadneedle street,
Lombard, and other streets in that
vicinity, where bankers have their
habitation. These Jew capitalists
have succeeded in centralizing in
their own hands the industry and
commerce of the earth. They own
almost all the debts of the world
the debt of nations, states, counties,
municipalities, corporations and in
Notwithstanding in the aggre-
gate, it is estimated, to seventy five
billion dollars, on which they are
annually receiving about four billion
dollars of interest. They own the
manufactures, the shipping, and
the commerce of Great Britain, and
most of the manufactures, shipping
and commerce of the whole world.
They have attained control of the
industry and trade of the whole
earth, and are rapidly centralizing
all business in their own hands.
They hold possession of all the great
lines of trade and business of all
kinds, and they regulate all prices
by their own arbitrary methods.
These Jew Money Kings have es-
tablished a grand Imperialism of
industry, commerce and wealth,
which is thoroughly organized, and
rules in the sphere of industry and
trade with autocratic sway.
The Money Kings greatly en-
larged their operations in the new
age of steam transportation. They
constantly invested their gains in
more manufactures, more ships, and
more warehouses, all over the earth,
