OFFICIALS APPROVE
THE FRAUD.

tai announce that Secretary Foste
and other officials approve the infa
nous proposition Of the chief none
loaner Of the world to the interna
tional monetary conference for tn
settlement Of the silver question. Al
idea of the character of this PROPOSE
tion may be gained from the follow
ing:
The plan Of Mr.. dc Rothschild is, in brief
that syndicate Of the nations be formed 3,
make yearly purchases Of silver TO thI
amount Of 100000 pounds sterling, and
that America continue her purchases Of sill
yer as at present. In the event of the prict
Of silver rising above 43d per ounce, the pur-
Chases are to be at once suspended.
This not only contemplstes the de-
monetization OF silver, but it even
proposes to reduce the price which it
now commands in the market. 1t
fixes an arbitrary maximum price,
and provides that when it is worth
more than Add per ounce purchases
shall be suspended. The infsmy
which has characterized the silver
Legislation of this country could
scarcely be increased by anything
further that can be done, and this
scheme is In exact accord with the
policy of the republican party for the
last thirty years to place our none
tary system entirely in the hands of
the money lenders. Indications also
point to the probability that this plan
is but q continuation of the grand
conspiracy which has shaped our
financial legislation for three decades,
as the following dispatch will show:
RoTHsCHILD's VISIT TO WASHINGTON.
Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 20 Alfred
do Rothschild's proposition to the interna-
sional monetary conference at Brussels has
recalled the fact that he and other we'll
known members of the great banking house
Of de Rothschild have been frequently visit
ors TO Washington. II is thought, more
over, that some of these visits, having given
the de Rothschilds an insight into the course
Of financial legislation in this country, have
had much to do with the proposition. Only
two months ago Harry de Rothschild, with
his valet, Courier, and q small retinue of at
! endants, was at one Of the uptown hotels
for several days. He is the Paris member
Of the dc Rothschild house. At the time Of
his visit Secretary Foster was making final
arrangements for the international confer
ence. Last spring another member of the
family was in Washington for some days.
Il happened TO be at time when the house
was in a turmoil over the Bland silver bill,
and Mr.. de Rothschild showed much inter
est in the controversy. In an interview he
stated that his interest was not 80 much due
to what Mr.. Bland might or might not do,
but was from curiosity over the excitement
which could be aroused in America on a
financial question which Europe knew moth
ing about. Mr.. de ROthsohild treated the
congressional turmoil very lightly. From
his expressions at that time, it is siudged that
he has changed his mind considerably as to
the importance Of concerted action among
the great financial powers. Several times
prior TO last spring various members Of the
de Rothschild family have been here, al
though their visits have always been as
sight. rather than as Rnanciers.
Az the treasury department. to-day there
has been much satisfaction over the news
