were forged, and In 1865 the contracting
currency act was passed, and In the
short perion OF 10 years thereafter the
circulation was reduced nearly u, ,400.-
100000. Today we fully realize the
meaning of construction. When our
country. was at peace with the
world four years after the war
(the exemption clause having deprecated
our money SO to 60 per cent?. The
credit strengthening act of March 18,
1869, added more than $400, ,000, 600 to
the burden OF our people, and ii is said
that August Belmont. chairman OF the
Democratic national COMMITTEES, and
agent of the Rothschilds. who held sev-
eral hundred millions of our $40 bonds;
and, interested in the strengthening 9ct,
instructed Belmont to denounce Sey-
mour for the presidency in 1868 in his
New York World because his platform
did not faver the act, and the desired
results followed. The refunding act OF
1870 OF the valuable gold interest bear
ing bonds was another calamity to the
people. $3.50, 900, 900 of which cannot be
paid off until 1907, while large portions
of the amount were lying idle in the
national banks, which they had the free
use of without interest; this step add
ing TO the value of the gold bonds which
by manipulation had not cost the hold
ers more than 50 cents on the dollar.
The act of 1873, the decentralization OF
silver, destroyed the money quality OF
silver, thus producing further contrac-
tion of currency and adding largely to
the value Of their bonds, payable in gold
free from tax. AS an evidence of the
correctness of American and London
manipulators favoring this scheme, we
find the following in the Bankers Mag
azine of August, 1878: "ID 1872, $780,.
900 was raised and placed in the hands
OF Ernest Seyd of London, who was sent
to this country as agent of foreign bond
holders to effect the demonstration OF
silver, which was accomplished" And
as proof of this statement, on page 1904,
Congressional Globe of April 8, 1872, we
read: ernest Seyd of London, dis
tinguished bullionist, who is now here,
has & ven great attention to the subject
of mint and coinage. He has made
various sensible suggestions in drafting
the bill for the demonetization of silver,
which the committee embodied in their
BILL" By these ''sensibIe suggestions"
they added $1096 daily to the interest of
every London bondholder holding one
hundred million of bonds.
Richard Everett. q member of parlia-
ment, in letter few days ago to
friend in New York is reported as say
ing, in condemning the action of his
government on the India silver ques-
ton: "The supreme aim of the money
classes and the London press is to re-
strict the supply of money 60 as to en-
rich themselves at the expense of raieers
of produce and land owners, We hope
your people will see through this cruel
game and Illustrate it."
Senator Stewart is reported few days
ago in speaking of certain large pay
ments of gold that in law should have
been paid in silver. sit WAS failure to
understand or a failure to obey The laws
that enabled European speculators to
export our gold from which our basiness
communities are suffering" Does not
the sepator put it mildly to use the
term Failure to understand or failure
to obey ?"
Friends Of American right and justice,

"manipulators" of Wall street and Lon

pie and country during the trying hours
of our late war and have kept it up to
date with unrelenting fury, what can
you expect of them now? A striking
illustration is near at hand wherein a
gigantic corporation whose colossal for
tune seemed to have been accumulated
on the line indicated by bonds and
lands from generous government, and
liberal donations from state and coun-
tiss, but never tired of gain, they reach
out for all the water front OF our sister
city, and raise the fare to extortion. and
when these people rebel 'spotter" is
put at the door of opposition to awe the
people who have been compelled to
whisper their grievances to each other.
