Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1895-08-23

THERE is man named Ciews in New
York. He is Wall-street man and a
defender of the gang of traitors who
have always stood ready to clutch the
nation by the throat, whether 1t was in
the throes of civil war brought on by
another arlstocracy that believed their
traffic in human beings was endangered,
or in the midst of q panic caused by the
persistent and successful efforts of tue
Wall-street swindlers to squeeze the
debtor class by making money dearer.
This same Clews does a good deal OF the
editorial work for those newspapers of
this and other states whose editors
believe in class privileges, ,Ho gets out
periodical circular which is frequently
quoted from by the gold-bug press. His
latest is defense of the Wall.street crew
that, IN conjunction with the Rothschilds
and others of their European Cocoon
spirators, recently bled this country
of millions Of dollars through the medium
of bond sales made in time of profound
peace. The New York World, whose
publisher, Joseph Pulitzer, is an old
soldier and western man, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the men who are
making large fortunes through con-
ditions forced upon the people of this
country by themselves and the tools who
represent them in Washington.
If the nation were at war, 1t would
quickly call upon the producers of the
country to take up arms, and would draft
them if necessary. If they deserted, it
would shoot them; if they were killed, it
would dole out driblets of support to
their families; if they were MANNED, it
would buy them patent limb and give
them a few dollars with which to buy
bread and cheese. But these traitors in
the big financial centers are beyond the
pale of governmental control. The gov.
ernment has thought it best to establish
fund of 900, 200, 600 as redemption
security for several times as much of
other kinds of money. The welfare of
the nation is believed by those in au.
thority to demand that the fund shall
not 60 below the sum named. And yet,
day after day, these Wall.street anarch-
lists, without a single patriotic impulse,
are withdrawing gold to export for spec
ulatlve purposes, without the least regard
for public policy" or anything else that
the interests of the masses demand. The
men who traffic in the financial needs
and dilemmas of the nation are just as
much rebels and traitors as those who
desert in the face of the enemy. and they
should be treated as such. The World
SAYS of them;
1.-The man who is honest and useful In
his generation gives something in return
for everything he gets. If the com.
munity serves him, he serves the com.
munity. If he takes profit from the
community, he gives 1t profit in return.
It is the essence of fair business to do
this. All fair traders do it. And 1t is
the essence OF Wall.street buelness not to
do it. The rule of Wall-street economy
quid and take the quo, to take something
wherever anything is to be had, and TO
give nothing. Wall-street does not labor
or produce; it does not distribute the
products of labor; it does not trade. 1t
merely preys on labor and takes toll from
trade. The man who makes million in
Wall-street out of watered stocks or in a
wheat deal does not make it out of Wall
street, but out Of the business men and
producers Of the country, TO whom he
gives nothing in return. TO get without
giving is the essence of fraud, and it IS
also the essence of Wall.street opera.
tions. To get as much and to earn as
little as possible is the aim of every
products of labor, of every manipulator
of the markets IN which the people must
buy the necessaries of life. If you must
get unearned money, take to the high.
way. That is on the whole surer than
the Wall-street way. and 1t Is much less
harmful to the community"
