THE PUBLIC ROBBED.
1T HAPPENS OFTEN, BUT THIS
TIME LEGALLY.
In Thirty Years We Pay the Rothschild
Ring ss6,927,53o, Under the Late
Bond Contract, for S15,54:,0s: of
Foreign Gold.

On the oath OF June the secretary
OF the treasury certified for the last
OF the bonds to be issued to the syn
dicate under the bond sale.
This was done after the payment by
the bond syndicate of Sc, 562, 7O3. the
balance of gold due the government
for the bonds.
The bond contract calls for a pay
ment OF gold which shall be shipped
from Europe without regard to the
conditions of foreign exchange mar
ket of $32, sos, 1877.
The receipt OF the secretary OF the
treasury from the syndicate OF gold
directly brought from Europe to the
date when the secretary Of the treas
ury certified to a completion of the
contract was Sl5, ,554,972.
The remainder making up the total
OF the European gold required by
contract was furnished by the syndi-
cate from gold obtained in the United
States.
Which means that the syndicate
has supplied $l5, ,O12, los in gold from
gold 10 the United States, instead Of
in fulfillment of the contract by bring
ing it from Europe.
This is another out-and-out swindle
upon the American people, for which
the people get no compensation, and
wholly and inexcusably in behalf of
the ROthschild ..ring."
The present quotation of these
bonds in the open market is 1924.
The price paid by the syndicate to
this government was $l04. 80, leaving
a bonus or premium paid by this gov
ernment to this "ring'' of 101 cents
on the dollar of the entire loan, or,
the total sum of s12, $50, $50 net, and
in addition to the annual rate OF 4
per cent interest for thirty years.
The interest amounts in the thirty
years to $74, 776, 800; add that to the
bonus above described, and the total
paid and guaranteed to be paid this
syndicate for its $15, ,545, ,972 of Euro
pean gold over and above the sum of
the gold the country already, amounts
to $50, 927, $50. Shameful
Add this latter sum to the princi-
pal, which must be paid back to the
syndicate at the end of thirty years,
and the grand total of $149. 241. $50 is
formed out OF which this country pays
the Rothschild .'ring" $50, 927, $50
for protecting" its gold reserves, a
sum that could just as we'll have been
issued in greenbacks and cost the
country nothing.
All this is to protect the United
States treasury from February s,
1895, to when? Possibly to a few
days from now, as foreign exchange
is rising daily.
All this criminally extravagant
the Public Ledger still
insists is in behalf of this nations
and the Ledger says that
the public should look upon the ad-
who did it as public
Comment is superhuous. 1t is hard
10 conceive of more degraded con-
1ition of the public treasury.
All this the Union League club OF
this city practically indorses in its re-
cent resolution on behalf of goldite
ism.
What picture for the plain bust
ness people OF this country to look at.
Do our business men know nothing?
Where is the perspicuity that is cred
ted to the American Merchant and
business man that such robberies are
tolerated? And what is far worse
are looked upon by the vast gold bu Q
press as patriotic acts in behalf of the
general good.
Now another point: Mr.. Morgan
Of this syndicate, returns from abroad
md says Europe is buying American
securities. BY dispatches just re-
,eived from England, it is shown that
he Rothschild financial journals in
England are advising the selling OF
American securities until the ..na-
'ional monetary question is settled"
So it seems that in that vast allow
lnce Of money the people of this coun-
ny have been robbed OF in behalf of |
hese Rothschilds, the money ques-.
ion still in Rothschild estimation, re-
mains unsettled. Then in the name |
If humanity why have the people |
been thus robbed.
Now that the final certificate of |
ransfer Of the last bond of the loan
% the 'ring" has been passed over
% the ''ring." the American public |
nay at any moment expect a renewed
export OF gold; and all to have this
nfernal programme repeated at the
Expense of the American business
