American bankers voluntarily con-
fess il. This power is
HEADED BY THE RoTHscHILDs.
The Rothschilds do not want free
silver AZ that takes awav from them,
in part at least, the control OF the
worlds money in the shape of gold
These Rothschilds know. that in
controlling the volume Of gold in the
world, they can ask nineteen per
cent upon ordinary loans as a bonus,
ma they compelled the President 10
pay in the last bond issue without |
counting the thirty years Of interest.
But il is unnecessary here TO dwell
upon this foreign power, as the i'm
mediate or more local power Of the
money lenders nearer home il suffi-
cient for this argument. Of course,
banks and money lenders would, un-
der n free-silver law, make far great
or profits than under their own bank
paper money; because under free sill
yer, this fearful competition Of sill
yer basis countries against Ameri-
can cotton, wheat ana all products
made in the United States that can
be made in silver basis countries,
would at once be stopped. And the
producers Of the United States in all
these Industries would, under free
silver, be able To get fair income
for their labor, and that fair income
would afford them money to put in
banks and
MAKE GOOD BUSINESS
in all parts of the country.
But IL is rare banker who sees
any further than the dollar immedi
ately before his attention. He, as a
rule, goes on the principle that q
bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
AS consequence, these bankers now
having the Democratic party by the
throat, through loans made to lead
ing members Of it. and through loans
made to the goldite press, and
through ownership of parts of the
daily press, particularly in all large
cities and the influence they have
on ALL LARGE MERCHANTS
who are requested to follow the bank
ers' programme by suggestions to
customers, when they get loan, all
these influences and many others of a
like character, shape the language
of the larger daily journals into the
way the bankers point out. Not that
this is solely done with the Demo
cratic party, for it is precisely the
same with the Republican party.
Any party is grist for the bankers
and the people of both the old or new
parties are the ones to be heeced.
Silver-basis countries now have a
bounty of one hundred per cent, and
this may grow still larger, to produce
all goods now made or grown in the
United States, as well as in all gold.

United States, whether grower O,

ers are based upon the solvency o.
the people.
The only remedy for this state o.
things is, the people must at once
unite against the Democratic and Re
. publican parties and select a tickle
that is. wholly and unequivocally il
favor of free silver in this country
alone, at
THE EARLIEST PRACTICABLE DATE
and look sharply to it, that the bank
ing influence is not part of the new
ticket elected.
Should that programme fail in Of
feet. the remaining remedy is a uni.
ted demand of the people to immedi.
ately ADOPT the Swiss system Of gov.
eminent; and the people by such
means make or unmake their OWE
laws in q strictly and true Demo-
cratic manner. That is what this
country must eventually come to
anyway. There are no two sides to
this issue. The representative sys-
tenn of making laws is clearly proved
to be a failure in all countries. The
Swiss system, on the other hand,
which is an enlargement of New Eng
lands town meeting system that has
been in successful operation for CEN
turtles is proved beyond all question
to be strictly in behalf of general
prosperity, and the best form of gov
eminent known to the word.
