 "The object lesson of the past three years show that the American people are face to face with concentrated capital, the enemy which destroyed all previous civiliz ,tions. A shrinking volume of money. AS compared with population and business, produces falling prices, paralyzes industry and compels the pro. ducers of wealth to pawn their property to continue the struggle against impend. ing tate.
 "The modern colossus, the Rothschlds combination, is the greatest brokerage establishment the world has eyer seen. It deals with corporations and nations, which force from the people their earn ings, either by monopolizing the neces- sities of life or by the overpowering pow. CT of taxation. It furnishes money for its customers by selling their bonds to the public for vastly more than the cost to the combination. The vast bonded debts of the United States and Europe have passed through their hands for century, and the increment retained by the Rpthschilds alone, independent of their numerous associates, is estimated at two thousand millions. This combi. nation robbed the United States of gold to convert the silver debt of Austria into gold obligations, and made tour hundred millions n the transaction.
 Tn 1893 the vaults of the United States treasury were opened and more than one hundred millions of gold was ship ped to Austria with the aid of the sd. ministrstion, which refused to exercise the option provided by congress to pay in either gold or silver. By this means the great combination wrecked the finances of this country and created the plnic of 1893 Gladstone and Cleveland ware willing agents of the gold trust. They suspended coinage in India and repealed the purchasing clause of the Sherman act b msk is easier for the combination to control the standard money of the western world. France and wicked work of the syndicate while it's raid was sweeping away the fortunes of the American people, but they protected themselves ny refusing to furnish gold tor the Austrian speculation. Each, when gold was demanded for export, paid it's obligations in silver, as the con- gress of the United States authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to do. The success of the gold combination in re. pealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and thereby ratifying and confirming the infamous act of 1873, demonetizing silver, placed the fortunes of seventy millions of people at the mercy of the gold kings. The temporary luIl In the financial storm, which the country now enjoys was bought Presi- dent Cleveland contracted with the Rothschilds combination to cease their raids on the United States for eight months. The price he paid for peace and protection shows the prostrate con. dition of the people of this country be. fore the power of the gold monopoly. He gave them SIP ,0O0, 900 in the differ ence between the market price and what he received for S62 900 900 of United States bonds, and further agreed in consideration of such protection to al. low the com oination to purchase what ever bonds might be issued before the meeting of another congress. What fur. ther proof is required than this contract to demonstrate that the gold of the world is cornered? A banking corporation contracts to charge the currents of inter. national commerce and agrees that no gold shall be shipped from the United States for period of eight months. How could the Rothschilds combination per form such contract and stop the ship. nent of gold from America to Europe unless they had control of the gold E? The goldites proclaim that the people of this country are entitled to the best .aorau uuith the oraalest nurchasing
