Olu volunteer SCat0 we call aILenLlOn
to clipping from the Chicago Daily
Press dispatch from Wall street.
dated March q, 1892. in which they
instruct their cohorts and henchmen
in the following language. Wall
streets edict:
I'VE must proceed with caution
and guard we'll every move made. for
the lower orders OF the people are
already showing signs of restless
commotioa. Prudence will therefore
dictate policy of apparent yielding
to the popular will until all of our
plans are so far consummated that we
can declare our designs without fear
of any organized resistance.
The Farmers Alliance and knights
of Labor organizations in the United
States should be carefully watched by
our trusted men. and We must take
immediate steps to either control these
organizations in our interest or dis
rupt them at the Omaha convention
on July 9Th. Cur men must attend
and direct it, movements else there
will be set on foot such an antagon-
ism to our designs as may require
force to overcome; this at the present
time would be premature. we are not
yet ready for such a crisis. capital
must protect itself in every possible
manner through com ination and leg
islation. the courts must Ue called to
our aid debts must be collected, bonds
and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly
as possible. when through process of
law the common people have lost
their homes they will be more tract
able and easily governed"
This clipping says again History
repeats itself in regular circles this
is truth. 1t is we'll known among our
principle men now engaged in form
ing an imperialism OF capital to gov
ern the world. While they are doing
this the people must be kept in con-
dition of political antagonism. The
question of tariff reform must be
urged through the organization
known as the Democratic party. and
questions of protection with reciproci-
ty must be forced to public view
through the Republican party. By
thus dividing the voters we can get
them to expend their energies in
fighting each other over questions of
no Importance except as tethers to
lead the common herd. Thus by dis
Greet action we can secure. all that
has been so generously planned and
thus far successfully accomplished

more dangerous and greater menace
to American free institutions than
standing armies.
