10 THE HIGHEST BIDDER IN
CASH.
The United States of America-A
Great Bargain.
THE REPUBLIC PLAYED OUT,
(Our Nations Crisis. ,

The finest, richest, biggest and best
paying piece Of property on earth.
Population, seventy millions-mostly
fools; and mote welD it doubles, every
twenty-five years. a fact which make S
it morally certain Of being the rulin G
nation Of the world within the life
time Of many persons now living.
The inha bitants are law-abiding,
are disarmed, and will stand any
amount of taxation without resis-
tance, IL shrewdly adjusted, even to
beggary, starvation and slavery. 1t
is the most magnificent opportunity
ever offered for any pOtentate or COM
bine having enough money, gall and
military strength to carry on the busi-
ness.
There are bonds and mortgages on
the property amounting to some five
thousand million dollars, but the
plant will soon be worth double that
sum, as the property is rising rapidly
in value. with the marvellous and
steady increase of population. The
gold standard is now securely estab-
lished by law. which insures the domi-
nance Of the propertied class for the
future, in politics and law.
REASON FOR SELLING.
The present owners are 'desirous of
Strengthening and perpetuating the
gold standard of money and values, at
all hazards. A very popular and dan
gerous free silver" party has lately
been organized, which threatens the
early disintegration and dissolution Of
the two old Rothschild's parties-the
Democrats and the Republicans. If
the "Free silver" party should sue
ceed in the elections Of 1896, it will be
the worst blow the power has ever re-
ceived. To prevent so great calam-
ity as the reins tatement of the old
silver dollar, with unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of l6 to ], we are
prepared to offer great bargain to
the right parties, If applied for soon.
The present managers desire to dis
pose of the business before March 4,
1897. and payment made in sound
money therefor. Or, would take in a
partner for ninety-nine years, if a
ltirst-class power, provided that sat
isfactory arrangement shall be made
within one year from this date.
NO DANGER OF REVOLUTION,
Enterprisipg and ambitious parties
ana potentates need to have no fear
of revolutionary violence. in tue
United States, as the inhabitants are
thoroughly and universally .hypno-
tiZed and possessed by the deluSion OF
self-government, the so-called "sov.
ereign power Of the people," "DOweT
of the ballot" ETC., (balloG on the
brain), through which devices and by
cajoling and bambooZling the popu-
lace with political catch words, such
as ''law and ORDER" majesty of the
law" ''protection," ."honest dollar"
s'sound money" ''the national
credit" and the like, the politicians
aud the subsidized press easily keep
the masses bewildered, divided and ef-
fectually controlled.
THE CONSTITUTION DEAD-LETTER.
AS to the constitutions and the
laws, they are dead letter, except in
the interest Of the rich, who by
manipulation of the highest courts
and legislative bodies, have every
thing their own way.
THE SPIRIT OF '76'' DEAD AND EX-
TINCT.
Europeans and foreigners general
ty are, perhaps, not aware of the fact
that the manly spirit of independe nee
and OF resistance TO oppression, which
was so Characteristic of the early days
OF the Republic, and formerly refer
rcd to as the 'spirit of '76,' has no
existence in the living generation Of
American people. 1t has utterly died
out and disappeared, and is now never

q tradition Of their fUref1 theirs, AS
far as a revolution Of violence is con-
cerned, the American masses Of today
are as tame, as submissive and as
harmless as SO many Chinese, Hin
docs, or Russian Serfs.
The wealthy classes are ripe and
ready for "strOng government" A
standing army Of several million
troops can be easily raised and sup
ported, as the resources OF the coun-
try are ineXha us tible, and millions Of
idle and hard-pressed men will gladly
enlist for their own support and that
OF their families. In truth the ruling
or wealthy classes in America have
long been aiming at and preparing for
q strong government, and Titled aris-
tocracy, with decorations and privi-
leges OF nobility, and they are only i'm

unlimited wealth.
Hitherto there has been no suffi-
cient pretext on which to base a de-
cisive exercise of authority in the di-
rection here outlined; but the facts
herein stated Show that the exigency
has now arrived, and that bold de-
cisive policy is now demanded for the
security OF the best elements of So
ciety, and the preservation Of civirz-

Signs of socialists and anarchists, and
the consummation of their schemes

consequences Of disunion and war,
both civil and foreign, which would
