The Financial Revolution.

spirators, the closing of the Indian minis TO
the free coinage Of silver and permitting
only the government TO coin silver, has
begun to show that the gold maniacs Of New
York are not going 10 have things all their
own way.
Last week that great engine of the money
power, the New York Chamber of Com
merce, held one of its millionaire meetings,
the object of which was 10 appoint com
mlttee to help intimidate Congress. The
press reporter who was on hand to take
notes says:
''The millionaire fnanciers, bankers and
merchants who in considerable numbers
assembled in the historic rooms of the
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday TO express
formally an opinion respecting the financial
situation and the remedy tor the eyils that
are upon us seem to have been, with the
exception of three men, of one mind.
''Yet to-day the comments that have been
heard in many bank parloss and counting
rooms suggest that this practical rnanimity
is apparent rather than real, and that
dozen men at least, but for their timidity,
would have joined Foster Higgins, VIM. P.
St. John and James B. Colgate in defying
the majority sentiment"
These three mems arguments against the
crusade that is being made against the in.
terests OF the people of the United States
and in favor of the gold bankers Of England
were unanswered and nnanswerable. AS the
suck of the rapids above the cataract is felt,
there is beginning to be made manifest an
alarm among the bankers and merchants,
when the danger is neared, that will create
an opposition to the plans ofihe contpirators
whicis forebodes a tempest on the money
qaestion which nothing in the past has even
family approached. If the silver purchase
law is repealed the question will be relegated
10 where it was in 1878. The Bland act OF
i79 and the Sherman law of go we've both
compromises. Compromises lead invariably
10 disaster, gagged by the magnitude of the
interest involved. The compromises on
slavery finally led to rebellion whose incon-
ceivable disasters were incom 1rehetSib!e to
the compromisers And the compromising
on silver coinage is leading up to the most
tremendous revolution in finance that has
ever startled the world. The chains of wage
slavery are to be broken through this strug-
gle, which will prove all the more violent
on account of the Bland bill and the Sher-
man act compromises. The friends of free
coinage in rs should have accepted no COM
pronlse such as the Bland act, bit uncon-
ditional free coinage or nothing. Matters
would have been brought 10 a climax then
and free coinage been forced by the demands
of the people. The Bland act proved a bar
rier or truce behind which the gold gam
hlers and debt sppreciaIors worked for
further advantage, and when the second
spirators succeeded in effecting another
compromise, which was open to evasion and
misconstrnction and execution, which if
they could succeed in getting tools of their
own to execute it. woIld make them almost
complete masters of the situation. They
managed the old party leaders so adroitly
that they secured the tools they wished for
for in Harrison and Cleveland, who
placed the United States Treasury at
their disposal. 1t has been at the call
of Wall street bankers under these men
for The last eight years, aud to less
noticeable degree under former administra-
tions. The Wall street bankers in turn act
under the inspiration of the Rothschilds
and the Bank of England influence, which
is the head of this money conspiracy. The
conspirators fondly believe they have the
people of the United States firmly within
their grasp, having secured the daily press
Of the country and and the President and
Cabinet, their hope is by bribery with
money, the power of official patronage from
the White House and frightening and bull
DOING of business men, TO force the repeal
of the Sherman act, and thus having COM
pietely worked by round about ways the
total demonstration of silver, virtually in
the whole world, they trust 10 the power Of
the means which has effected il to retain ii
for ever, and place the financial structure of
the world, and the debts which they have
been creating in all these years of the last
half century on gold alone. If this scheme
con be cousumated those debts can never he
cancelled, but forever remain drawing tax
from ille products of labor, flowing a con-
slant golden stream into the pockets Of the
idle non-produeing debt owning class. The
bare interest of this volume of debt will
amount 10 as great a SUM annually as all
the gold 10 the world, and the holders of
the debt will be complete masters Of all the
gold. which is to control and be the repre-
sentative of all the money of what ever
kind in the world. The holders of that
debt and controllers Of the gold Will have it
In their power to dictate prices, raise and
lower values Of every class of wealth in the
civilized world.
This is the imperial stake these con-
spirators are playing for. The head is
composed of about dozen Jew bankers in
England, with their associates or lieuten-
