intoleralle wrongs. The crowned pup.
pets of Europe, called monarchs, live
by the breath Of the Rothschilds and are
protected from violence by the mercc-
nary legions which devour the substance
of the people. Rothschilds' financial
system has been enforced upon this
country by cunning and fraud. 1t is
maintained by the corruption Of the
commercial press, the venality of time
serving politicians. the threat of the
creditor and the patronage of q great
government, but these instrumentalities
arc expensive and require constant at
tention. Military despotism, according
to the custom of the old world, is more
direct and effective, and Rothschild is
preparing this country for another
change. Whence comes the voice of the
military for more soldiers, of the capi-
talists for stronger government, of the
toady for an aristocracy, and of the
money lender for more stability, all of
which points to the assimilation of the
Of the world?
If the free and independent voters Of
the United States do not resist with
power and purpose the greedy designs Of
the money powers, and do it now, it
will be too late. If within generation
more than half the property of 10000
900 of people has been transferred bt
strategy and fraud to Il thousand money
lenders, what hope is there i'll continu-
ing policy which is designed to con
centrate the wealth of the world into
one great creditor system, with the bank
ers of London and the Rothschilds at
the head, unless immediate resistance is
made? The magnitude of that colossal
power is already immense. 1t has no
Eparallel in history. The final consum-
nation of it's schemes is millionaires
and slaves. Its purposes are not dis
guised. The gold journals of London
proclaimed that property must rule and
democracy must be destroyed. An,eri-
cans, will you wait until America is
!. controlled as Germany and Italy are by
the military forces of concentrated capi-
tai? Will you wait until it is treaso to
distrust public affairs? Will you wait

Baking Powder Company Win. It's
Case In United States Court.

case III ln1teO Mates Court
Chicago Times Herald: The decision of
Judge Showalter in a recent case that
came up before him sustains the claims Of
the Royal company to the exclusive use
of the name ''Royal' as trademark for
its baking powder. The special impor-
tance Of this decision consists In the pro-
lection IL assures to the millions of con-
sumers Of Royal baking powder against
inferior and unwholcsomc compounds.
The excellence of this article has caused
1t to be highly esteemed and largely used
almost the world over. Its high standard
of quality having been always maintained
consumers have come to rely implicitly
upon the ''Royal' brand as the most
wholesome and efficient of any in the
market. The cupidity of other manufact-
urers is excited by this high reputation
and large demand. Very few of the hum
dreds of baking powders on the market
are safe to use. II their makers could
sell them under the name of well known,
reputable brand, incalculublc damage
would be done to the public health by the
deception. The determination OF the
Royal Baking Powder company toprotect
the users Of the Ruyal baking powder
against imitators by rigid prosecution
of them makes such limitations OF its
brand extremely rare.

Suppose the Goldbugs Should DO tho Things
They Threaten If Silver Is Rcinstated?
Tho increase of wealth and population
of the country requires all annual in-
crease of from $40, 900, 900 to $50, ,ooo,
900 q year to keep tho volume Of money
on hand stationary i'll amount, when
compared TO the legitimate demand of
business, but suppose tho goldbugs
wonld do all the foolish, absurd and
wicked things they threaten?
Suppose they would Immediately
hoard the gold i'll tho country and take
it all out of circulation? Not one
American citizen III IL thousand would
know that they had done it, because
there is no gold now i'll circulation ex-
cept OH the Pacific coast.
In fact, the circulation of tho country
is confined almost exclusively to silver
certificates.
The gold is boarded; the grcenbacks
and treasury notes are boarded, to DO
used by spectators to raid tho treasury.
Suppose, as the goldbugs predict, gold
should go to premium? Before that
could take place, however, prices in this
country must raise above the European
level,
That could only be done by such an
increase of the volume Of circulation in
this country by silver as to mako money

try than ill Europe.
The question is, Who would suffer if
gold should go to IL premium! Would it
he the people of tho United States? We
answer, no! They would have plenty of
money, good prices and good times,
such rs every silver standard country in
tho world enjoys today, and it would be
easier to pay gold debts.

yond what they can mine is by salo Of

What financiers of Europe and this

The most eminent statesmen OF other

peatedly pointed TO the resumption of

opponents were solcmnly resolving that

the graenback to par In gold, nailed and
kept it there, and opened the way for the

there is not now In all the Democratic
