America Becoming a British Colony

The excess of exports over imports
of merchandise for this year ending
March 81, 1892, is $169,225,921, and
the excess of the export of gold and
silver is $44,955.557, making a total
absolute loss to the nation by ex-
port of $214.l8l, 478.. There is no
possible way to deny that this sum
is absolute loss, and that the nation
is poorer by that amount. If it be
said that this sum represents the net
earnings upon foreign capital invest,
ed in this country. which 1t seems
probable is true, it shows the forei = n

British Policy,

The English metropolitan journals are
artful in their comments on American pol
itics. In discussing the Minneapolis Con-
vention one of these journals remaks:
"a republican victory in the coming
election would retard for long time the
sound commercial doctrine that underlies
the commercial greatness of Great Britain
and alone maintains British ascendency."
This is but half truth and is in line with
many ontgivings from the English metro.
politan press, no doubt inspired to a con-
siderable extent from this country. 1t is a
direct appeal to American national pride to
sustain policy which cripples England
and upbuilds the United States, and the
logical proceeding is to uphold the repub-
lican party, which rests It's existence on a
high protective tariff The American
popular mind is to be kept in this groove
of political thought and prevented from en-
larging or escaping from it by every pos.
sible means. There is another interest Of
far greater Importance TO the ruling class Of
England than her trade with foreign
nations, great as that is. This other interest
is the debts of other nations her money class
hold, and the control of the financial sys.
tenn Of this and European countries. This
concern is the greatest of all to the ruling
class of Great Britain, and it is guarded as
sacred secret. Her Commercial great.
ness" depends on this tax gat herer from the
labor Of all other countries, whose laws are
the agents for the collection Of interest and
dividends on the enormous debts the British
capitalists hold over the heads of the people
of other countries as we'll as the industrial
class of their own. To keep this fact hidden
and prevent an examination into the inan-
cial system which they control is the hope
which they cling to for maintaining British
ascendency. Were it not for the ownership
Of these immense debts which pour steady
stream Of wealth into the pockets of her
plutocratic rulers, in a few years Great
Britain would sink to one of the lesser
powers Of Europe. By the jngglery Of her

industrial classes of other nations, which
her monied classes collect without cost to

whose debts they hold. Government debt

tocracy levy and collect a tax from all
other nations. Our politicians with the
two old parties in their hands enable the
English banking aristocratic class to collect
from the American people several hundred
millions Of dollars annually. Hence their
newspapers profess to oppose the policy
pursued by the party in power. 1t is Shy

The Stolen Gavel.

1t will be remembered that one of
the little by-plays at the Minneapolis
convention was the presentation of a
silver bound gavel, made of wood grown
on the first homestead in Nebraska. 1t
turns out that Mr.. Daniel Freeman, the
owner of the homestead is an ardent
Peoples Party man and when applied
to for wood to make a gavel for the
Republican convention refused to fur
nish wood for that purpose, he having
presented in April last gavel made
from wood grown on his place to H. e.
Iaubeneck, Chairman of the National
Commute of the Peoples Party, to be
used at the Omaha Convention of that
party on the 4th of July next. Mr.
freeman is indignant atthe trick the
republican politicians have PLAYED on
him and is publishing the facts of the
theft in the case.
