Our readers who are best informed OIL
affairs of state know that for years tn
gigantic manufacturing establishment
of the old world hav. been eXerting tina
vast power which ence levied tribute up
.On the entire world, in a war to the dealt
against like concerns in the new world.
In We olden time a few men in Eng.
land could put their heads together and
determine what Was the proper price fol
denizens of the new world to pay for {;
yard of calico. pOcker knife or farm i'm
tplement. and regulate with equal facilit.:
the value of Il beef Steer or bush"l q:
wheat. Through the ages these auto
Gratis learned that lin union there is
strength and with one accord resolved
they would keep close together. To this
END Il club or sOciety.4vas formed. styled
the Golden club.
Ii seems some adventurous spirits of
,;he new world had rashly tried to weave
fabrics and fashion wood and iron for
their neighbOrs TO buy. but confusion
quickly overwhelmed them by means OF
prompt and precOncerted dumping in
their immediate vicinity of wares from
the old country. Then these presumptu-
Gus upstairs devised for themselves bar
rier in the form of tariff laws, behind
which they could pursue their nefarlOus
designs unmOlested.
Itwas therefore found necessary to ed
,ucate the uncOuth rustiys on this side the
water, teaching them that tariff was rob-
berry and free trade their only safety. SO
the Golden club was devised by philan-
'thrOpic English manufacturers who felt
for those who were so stupid
as to want their goods made at home.
This club, backed by the millions of its
most powerful agency for controlling
public sentiment in the United States.
and iusiduOusly it did its
work. Men of versatile genius and with
persuasive. reasoning powers were enlist
ed under its banners aud placed where
they could, do the most good. All over
trade lore. were placed in our colleges.
while talented writers were established
in the cities to disseminate this doctrine
through such great journals as cauld be
used for the purpose.
At last.a plan more stupendots than
any eyer before conceived since the days |
of the great Napoleon. was designed by |
the manufacturers of Great Britain. 1t |
was no less task than the placing of an |
instrument OF theirs in the presidential
chair of the United States.
1t was a difficult undertaking, and
even the combined power of the manu-
factarers of England did not feel equal
to the work alone and single handed.
The bondholders OF the great money
ceneers were invoked to lend helping
hand. and make single gold standard
part of the compact. Right gladly they
and the two giant combina-
tons set about 10 find Il man for their
work. The republican party. though in
