The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-10-11

PEeSluenb speaks ana GDe ptoSlQen6 gave
90 the country in his own language that
every one OF the treasury notes would be
paid In gold.
On the 18th of April the newspapers gave
Us some knowledge OF the gentleman who
was moving backward and forward be-
tween New York and Washington. His
name is given as Jordan. The reporter
says:
Assistant Treasurer Jordan did not give
mp yesterday to a series of conferences on
the subject Of gold. The bankers are less
disposed to talk with Jordan. They ara
not convinced that he represents anybody
above him, and they prefer to await the
arrival Of Secretary Carlisle, that they may
talk directly to him."
Then the secretary kindly went over, a.
the newspapers informed us, and in little
while he and the bankers agreed to disa-
gree. After the trouble came, when there
was deficit In the treasury so far as the
800, ,OOO, 900 mark was concerned, the bank
Ors Of Chicago, the bankers Of Denver and
the bankers Of Kansas City offered gold to
the government, and some Of the little
banks way in the backwoods rendered .
few Thousand dollars-if that was all they
hAd-in gold to help the treasury out, bus
che bankers of Wall street could not agree
with the secretary, and they advanced not
Q dollar, yet they were the presidents ad-
Visers.
Now, Mr.. President, it is very important
that we should know who Is debating our
financial policy, and in saying that / do not
wish to be understood as saying that the
chief magistrate Of the American republic
Is being dWarfed by anybody's influence.
What do mean to say is that the presi.
dent of the United States, honestly believ.
ing that the policy dictated by the bankers
and the "Napoleons of finance" was the
proper policy of the country, so says boldly
TO the people. He has never gone into the
background to say this thing 1t has not
been said in o corner.
Mr.. Cleveland land honor him for his
Courage) is willing to say before the whole
worM what he believes. He has done Il
from the beginning. He is doing it now.
No, no; the president is great among strong
men, but he believes in wrong philoso-
ply that was taught to him in his child
hood. Instead of learning his law at the
feet OF Gamaliel he learned his law at the
feet Of the Rothschilds, Barring q Co.,
Olews, DreXel and that class Of men-the
men who received their teaching from the
economists that built up the Bank of Eng
land and all the great banks of antiquity
except only one.
These men are fortunes wreckers. They
think no more of throwing q mortgage OF

than they do Of eating an oyster for break
fast, and this is the class of men from whom
we seek advice
What else is there about this2 We read
the other day, all of us, that in the city Of
New York there Is q club known as the
Millionaire club. Seven hundred of the
Wealthiest men in the city belong to the
club, of which J. Pierpont Morgan is presl-
dent. Theclub has already issued g., ,0O0, 900
IN 8 per cent bonds, with the proceeds Of
which the site for their club building was
purchased. Then they invested a large
amount in the erection of the building, and
now this dispatch tells us that they have
put on an additional mortgage Of 100000
for the purpose Of furnishing it, putting up
fnishings of marble and the most costly
woods in the world.
In the same paper, on the same day,
saw a description Of the balls, the costly
revelries that that class of men in New York
city indulge in. These are the men, I re-
peat, with whom our executive officers
Confer-half dozen spectators who rule
the country with an iron hand.
It time, Mr.. President, that we dissolve
partnership with Wall street. Since the
dawn of history the money changers have
been against the people, always against the
people and for themselves. It has been TO

closing years Of the nineteenth century to
