RANGED ON THE SIDE OF
THE MONEY MONOPOLY,
And the Money Monopoly Upholds
the Liquor Monopoly and
the Saloon.

Editor Of The Voice. The gulf
which divides the combined movements
ofthe labor organizations and any po-
litical party that may in the future
grow out Of the teaching and demands
OF those associations, from the three old
political parties, is the financial ques-
ton. With this question eliminated
from the great farmer and other labor
organizations, they would cease to have
force sufficient TO make contest. This
is the only line or point on which the
three old political parties attack the
Alliance. On this point they are q
band of brothers.
These three old parties abuse the
liquor traffic in chorus, and have sham
battles over the traffic; and they waste
their time and that Of the people who
can be cajoled to listen to them, while
the great money octopus is sucking the
life blood Of labor.
The headquarters Of these three old
parties are all in New York. They are
al, poisoned by the breath Of the Wall
Street mammon, and lulled into fancied
security by its siren song.
Prohibition is not an issue. The
tariff is not an issue. The saloon is
not an issue. But all three are condi :
tions. And those conditions arise out
of vicious legislation, planned, vitalized
and sustained by the organized money
trust of England, through its New York
agency. The entire organized monop-
oily Of the country, under its many
heads, is directed and sustained by that
great money trust at whose head stands
Rothschilds and his Jewish bankers.
Their most useful political tool is the
whiskey and beer monopoly, which Is
made possible by the power Of the gov
eminent that stands behind it. supports
and protects it by an army of ware
house guards and armed marshals. Gu,
of this great protected monopoly grows
the saloon, and in every city and town
10 the Union or Al States the Govern
ment issues this monopoly permits tt
conduct its traffic. These saloons are
the headquarters of the two strong
parties. The politics Of the country Ii
organized in these haunts of vice. The
money that debauches, the whiskey and
beer which crazes, are distributed II
these places and the frauds and crimes
against the ballot and the people, al
emanate from these aens. These Turk
ing-places Of political corruption can
not be broken up while their grea
source Of supply and fountain Of lif'
remains untouched, entrenched behint
the Nations capitol, protected by it
Congress and its army. As we'll nigh
the attempt be made to dry swamp o
morass, by stopping up the vent
through which the water rises to tn,
surface, while the great fountain 0
supply stands untouched high above tn,
stagnant marsh, as to hope to dry VI
the saloons while that great dead SCI
behind the White House, the liquo
monopoly, remains undisturbed. Thi
liquor monopoly can never be destroyed
while our present financial class hold
possession Of the Government and fill
both houses of Congress with it's retain
ed attorneys and the Treasury with it,
chosen bankers.
The two strong old parties which
have alternately the Government In
their nominal control BY courtesy o.
the money trust Of Europe, have KEEP
up deafening din over the tariff, and
the Southern negroes, while foil is
made Of the Prohibition Party which is
directed to keep up as loud a rub.a,dub
against the saloons. This whole ar
rangement has been artfully planned
and carried out with consummate skill,
by the long headed, heartless, con-
scienceless, greedy money trust, to the
discomfort and deception of hundreds
Of thousands of the purest and most
virtuous Of the American people.
While the money trust remains in
tact the two old parties will remain
intact, or if temporarily dethroned from
power. they, or~one Of them, will speed
lily succeed in again grasping the rsins
Of government through the corruptipg
power Of the robbing money trust.
The three parties are unit on the
financial question and all Of them fight
bitterly to have it thrust to the rear,
which would permit it to remain in
power with all its tools to control leg
islation and rob the hand Of produe-
