And Wall street, it must be borne
in mind, really has no politics, that is
to say, It has 10 special party anil
atiUns or preferences. It simply throws
the weight of its influence on the side
of, and utilities any party it can most
conveniently and successfully to ac-
compIish its supreme. and. only, purpose
control the finances of this country.
If this may be done through democrat
ic domination, we'll and good; if only
through republican supremacy, then
Wall street is republican,; III truth
Wall street has no political cOnvic-
tioms, no settled political principles;
one party is as good as another, pro
yided il can be used to promote its
financial schemes. To deny this is
evidence Of either marvellous stupidity,
OF Of an attempt to mislead the people
iii the interest of that crowd
Prior to the holding Of the national
conventions, every four years, as rrgu-
larry as the time comes, a committee
of Wall. streeters is appointed without
regard to party Affiliations, to look Rf-
ter its interests i'll both conventions.
This committee is ut work now, Oper-
;ltiIIg in d private way, To secure, if
possible, the holding of both demo-
cratic aud republican national cOnven-
tiOHs in New York city next year, and
all the influence Wall street can di-
rectiy and indirectly command will be
brought to bear to accomplish this re-
suit.
The point urged is, that it will be
more convenient for the niagnates of
finance to supervise and shape party
declarations with reference to the
future finances Of the country, if the
conventions are held in New York
than elsewhere. Wall street is bsgin-
ming to realize that there exists a
strong and growing sentiment through
out the country, particularly here in
the west, to break away from its des-
potic domination; to formulate and en-
act Il financial policy not dictated by
plutOcracy; to inaugurate a financial
system III which the rights and intel
ests of the masses of the common peO-
pie and not simply those Of a privileged
few shall be protected and conserved; !
and, realizing this, it will put forth ex-
traOrdiHary efforts to checkmate it in
the manner indicated.
But the people are getting their
eyes wide open to the facts in the
case, and if Wall street succeeds in its !
purpose, and the two old parties by |
their platform aYerments i'll 1892 show |
their continued subservlency to its be- |
hests, a political revolution, such as
this country never witnessed, will /
shortly follow. The time has come |
when the voting masses are deter /
mined to be no longer duPed, humbug- !
ged, imposed upon and outraged by /
plutocracy. They have the votes, and |
thep Will use them to crush his foe to
their liberties. -Atclsison Champion.
