into a popullst / have seen this ex.
pansion happen so many times that l
feel it to be a law of nature as certain
rs that of gravitation.
Speaking of government ownership
of railroads, I notice that receivers have
been appointed for the Northern Pa
cific; Henry c. Rotise, president of the
Missouri, Kansas s. Texas, is one OF
them. In this connection whichever
railroads conducted by private enter
prise are gobbled up by railroads of
more enterprise, l am always reminded
OF, the ancient adage: The receiver is
as. bad as the thief"
Just when a repeal of the Sherman
bill seems probable to their minds, this
bankers begin a new phase of tricllery.
For the last week OR two gold has been
flowing into the United States by mil
lions. This will give the money esargs
chance to say, through the capitaiistic
press. that the mere prospect of a re-
peal of the Sherman act makes gold
flow back again to this country. This
talk about gold flowing, as if law of
nature governed its capers, is the ulti-
mate of nonsense, or rather is nothing
but the most brassy of lies gilded to
look like truth:
The income and 6titgo of gold is
manipulated by Wall street, which in
turn is manipulated by Lombard street,
and now that jew Ghould is dead, Jew
Rothschild reigns supreme over the
destinies of America, with her proudest
millionaires for his eager lackeys He
lets them play at his vast gambling
dens in Wall street. He makes them
or breaks them at his more than sover-
eign will. Some OF them, like Wander
bilt and Astor, are so rich they can stand
alone if they keep out of the gamble,
but, if greed for more should seize
them land that has happened in the
case of the Vanderbilts), they are apt
to be drawn in and lose few millions
to the Jew who rules the world.
Senator Voorhees, makes a new de-
record of honor with a very carefully
prepared attorneys brief from Carlisle,
secretary of the treasury, who was
likewise once an independent states
man, but is now the lackey of a lackey.
This brief processes to show that a
change from our present ratio of 16 to
would cost the government over $780,"
600, 900, because it would necessitate
complete recoinage. But there is no
need TO change. France, Which has
the greatest volume of legal tender silI
yer of any country, coins at the ratio
of 151s to 1. A return to a less ratio on
our part would seem to be far more
sensible than a move from 1G to 20.
But are we not rich enough IN those
resources that make real wealth to
abandon both gold and silver if we
wished? A government note with our
cotton or any commodity of commerce
would be taken all over the world, be-
cause it would have to be. America,
whenever she dares to be financially
Independent of England or the Jew
who manages England and Europe, can
be as independent as the sun is of the
butterfly. This is not the initiation Of
patriotism, but simple, scientific fact.
Now, as for raising our ratio, it would
be the widest folly. We should be dis
crediting the s4OO, 100000 of silver now
in use among us and instead of stavtng
off the evil day, we should be inviting
panic and Offering our necks to the
yoke of more crushing financial bond
age.
The truth of this is beginning to
dawn on some of the small bankers.
The other day went to a Boston bank
to identify man who wanted a $500
check cashed. The banker wished to
give him certified check in place of
the money; but no, he desired some
bills. All the bank could give him was
$40 in change and its certified check
for the balance. This bank has 1,000,-
600 surplus. Such a lack of bills among
banks causes lack of confidence and,
as a result, the weaker banks have be-
gun to go under. In other words, some
of the minor engineers of this artificial
stringency are going to be hoist with
their own petard. But what does all
this matter to the president who was
hanged in Texas by proxy? Nero f1d-
died while Rome was burning. Har-
rison used to go duck shooting while
the country was fermenting with labor
| troubles, and Cleveland can go fishing
while the property of a people, ten-fold
that of Rome in value, is being turned
into gambling chips for the faro fiends
| of Wall street:
