ACONVlNCING SPEECH.

A CONVINCING SPEECH.
The following speech was de-
livered by Senator Stewart at
the silver convention in Mem
phis, Tenn, June 18th:
The object lessons of the last
three years show that the Amer
lean people are face to face with
concentrated capital, the enemy
which destroyed all previous CIV
ilizations. A shrinking volume
of money as compared with pop
ulation and business produces
failing prices, paralyzes indust-
ry and compels the producers
Of wealth to pawn their property
to continue the struggle against
impending fate.
The modern colossus, the
Rothschilds combination. is the
greatest brokerage establish
ment the world has ever seen.
1t deals with corporations and
nations which force from the
people their earnings either by
monopolizing the necessaries OF
life or through the sovereign
power of taxation. It furnishes
money for it's customers by sell
ling their bonds to the public for
vastly more than the cost to the
com bination. The vast bonded
debts of the United States and
Europe have passed through
their hands for nearlya century,
and the increment retained by
the Rothschilds alone. independ-
ent of their numerous associates.
is estimated at two thousand
millions. This com bination
robbed the United States Of gold
to convert the silver debt of
Austria into gold obligations and
made four hundred millions in
the transaction.
In 1893 the vaults OF the Unit
ed States treasury were opened
and more than one hundred mil
lions of gold we're shipped to Au-
stria with the aid Of the admin
istration, which refused to exer
else the option provided by Cong
ress to pay either in gold or sill
yer. BY this means the great
com bination wrecked the imam
ces of this country and created
the panic of 1898. Gladstone
and Cleveland were the willing
agents of the gold trust. They
suspended coinage in India, and
repealed the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act to make it
easier for the com bination to con-
troll the standard money Of the
western world. France and
Germany made no objection to
the wicked work of the syndicate
while it's raid was sweeping
away the fortunes of the Ameri-
can people but they protected
themselves by refusing to fur
nish gold for the Austrian specu
lation and when gold was demand
ed for export they paid their obi
cations in silver. as the congress
of the United States had author
lied the secretary Of the treasu
ry TODD. The success OF the gold
com bination in repeating the
purchasing clause Of the Sherm-
an act and thereby ratifying and
confirming the infamous act of
1873, demonetizing silver. placed
the fortunes of 70,000,0O0 people
at the mercy of the money kings.
The temporary lull in the fnan-
cial storm which the country
now enjoys, was bought. Presi-
dent Cleveland contracted with
the Rothschild com bination to
cease their raids on the United
States for eight months. The
price he paid for peace and pro-
lection shows the PROSTATE con-
dition Of the people of this coun-
try before the power of gold
monopoly. He gave them twelve
millions in the difference between
the market price and what he re:
ceived for sixty-two millions of
: United States bonds, and further
agreed in consideration Of such
protection to allow the comhina-
ton to purchase whatever bonds
might be issued before the meet
ing of another congress.
What further proof is required
than this contract to demonstrate
that the gold Of the world is cor
nered? A banking corporation
contracts to change the current
of international commerce and
agrees that no gold shall be
!. shipped from the United States
for the period Of eight months.
How could the Rothschilds com
bination perform such a contract
and stop the: shipment Of gold
from America to Europe unless
they had control Of the gold?
The oddities proclaim that the
people Of this country are en-
Titled to the best money with the
I greatest pure chasing power Of
any money il the World. hat
right have the people IL the gold
which the conn inati on own and
