Conspiracy.

INTO tn0 Ooptn OF financial ruin: when
In land Of plenty, men. by thousands
are without employment, some serious
causes must lie At the foundation Of such
. condition. Politicians and newspapers
oil over the broad land have attempted
10 explain away the rsspoas sibili,y 10,
the presented hard times. BY ingenious
argument. each political party has con.
vinced its sdherents that the opposition
WAS to blame. Only recently have the
real facts been given to the public. and
now 1t rests with the people to place the
blame where Il belongs.

repeal Of the Sherman act. He goes
into details and gives names, dates and
places, which cannot be disputed. He

spirators, and names them as follows

vste residence Of the president Of the
Chemical Bank, at which all OF the above

part Of the United States 10 stop loans,
and then the crash came Within
tSelve days after the meeting, hanks

United States we're failing.
Nothing. for years. has made pro-
founder sensation than these revelations
Of Mr.. Shuckers. They bear the empress
OF truth.
The financial depression which had
Its beginning along in May, 1898, was the
direct result of this conspiracy. In
