The Great Conspiracy, No. 1


AS act follows act in the political drama,
as the actors pass over the stage, the unfold
ing of the plot becomes more intensely
interesting. Thirty years ago the play was
prepared and the actors given their parts.
The play is of Jewish production and the
Rothschilds its authors. To rob the Amer
lean people is the denoument of the plot,
and it has been developed and unfolded
with the finest artistic skill.
To convert the circulating medium, the
money which served the people as the tool
of industry and their medium of exchange,
into debt untaxable and steadily drawing
interest was the first act in this Anglo
American political drama,
To convert that paper currency debt into
a gold and silver debt, or debt to be
paid in COMA money much dearer
than the money which had been converted
into the debt, was the second act in the
drama.
By the first act the peoples money was
changed into a national debt and their
money destroyed. BY the second act that
debt created from the cheap money of the
people was changed to represent the dear
money of the rich, the scarce money of the
world. This change doubled the value Of
the debt.
The third act in this drama was the
destruction of one-half of this dear money
by the demonstration of silver. This act
increased the value of the debt four fold
The conspirators maintained a long and
desperate struggle against the people whom
they had planned to rob, the latter haying
taken alarm, and began to resist the
encroachment of their stealthy enemy.
These three acts developed the plot of the
play, and while unfolding multitude Of
collateral scenes continued to crowd the
stage, the principal actors playing their
parts in way to confuse and deceive the
people. Corporations seized every source
OF wealth and monopolized all the natural
opportunities, all the franchises. The money
of the people being nearly all destroyed,
national bankers seized upon the debt which
represented the laboring peoples money and
supplied the toilers with a small sum Of
paper on a large sum of phantom money
they call "credit" on which heavy rates OF
interest are charged. This soon compelled
the people 10 60 in debt 10 secure a suf-
ficiency of this dear, phantom money to
before their property was nearly all pledged
and mortgaged to pay the new debts created
out Of credit or phantom money. which had
developed from the national debt that had
been created by the destruction of the peo-
Piles money, and not for value rendered
The people had received absolutely nothing
for the debt placed on them.
AT this stage of the play the conspirators
had seized all the lines of transportation,
the electric system for transmitting news,
and had in their possession all the infor-
nation which enabled them to manipulate
markets and gamble in stocks-which were
increased indefinitely by Interchangeable
in grain and all agricultural products,
which were inflated thousand fold by
wind. The electric system was extended to
telephoning, lighting, street railway and
lines of travel In the country, and TO power
for running machinery. All these fran
chises were placed in the hands of corpora
tions, which created monopolies that pro.
ceeded to rob the people to the verge Of
poverty.
The mines of coal and all the metals were
seized by monopolits, almost all the val
liable timber of the country fell into their
possession, and millions of acres of the land
were appropriated by the various monop.
olies, syndicates, and corporations, com.
posed largely of aliens. Money having
been made scarce by converting it into debt,
property throughout the country fell to a
nominal price, and these wealthy, gold
owning, debt owning and interest drawing
aliens invested large amounts in the best
properties in the country, securing them
for a mere song, the American people
having been robbed by process of law till
they were unable to hold possession of the
most valuable property in the country and
it has fallen largely into the possession Of
aliens, representing the royalty, aristocracy,
and nobility Of the old world, who fatten off
of the industry of the American people
Our American millionaires who haye plum
dered the people through franchises given
them by acts of bribed legislatures, are
moving over to the British Isles, and the
gang Of exploiters on American enterprise
and industry is rapidly getting together
in one colony. What does it mean?
