IRON Tom Watson's Paper)
Dusing his four years of waiting for
his second Presidential term, Mr.
Cleveland was the attorney of Drexel,
Morgan & Co., the Wall street national
bankers, who are now pocketing all
the southern railroads. This great
firm has branch house in London
and are closely, connected in money
affairs with the Rothschilds.
Mr. Carlisle, during all the years of
his sS'vice in congress, has been the
recognized agent and attorney of the
Whisky trust. 1t was his influence
aided by skillful bribery, which Sc
cured from congress the bonded ware
house law and the three year exemp-
ton from taxation, which the whisky
trust enjoyed at the expense of all
other taxpayers, until this year. Dur
ing its last session congress, being I'M
der the direct control of Carlisle, the
whisky trust and various other purify
ing influences, repealed the three year
exemption and replaced it with an
eight year favor of like character.
During Cleveland's first administra-
ton he was SO vigorously virtuous that
he vetoed the bill which appropriated
a few thousands of dollars to furnish
to drouth stricken Texas the seed to
plant her crops with; and with the
same pen he approved the bill which
gave to his Wall street friends, the
Drexel, Morgan & Co. sort, $50, ZOO, DOC
OF the peoples money, by way of pre-
miums" on bonds. That is to say, he
paid his national bank pets the full
amount of the principal and interest
due on their bonds and $50, 900, 900 be-
sides.
The privileged classes having been
frightened by the Mills bill and Cleve-
lands famous message on tariff reform,
forsook Cleveland and elected Harrison.
By the time Harrison's first term ex-
pired, he had angered the republican
politicians by being too "pig-headed;"
had incensed Wall street by refusing
to issue bonds; had Infatuated the
laborers by approving the Mckinley
bill; had split his party by his feud
with Blaine, and was heavily handi.
capped by the clamor raised against
Reeds rules" and the billion dollar
congress"
Back INTO power came Cleveland,
1.-THE other twin" and with him came
Olney, the attorney of the railroad
combinations; Lamont, the personal
representative of Whitney and the
Standard Oil trust; and, above all, Car
Isle, the attorney of the whisky trust
A gay old time this precious lot of
corporation lawyers are now having at
the expense Of the people.
From the very first they set the
standard of national expenditures
higher than has ever been known: in
creased offices and salaries; monkeyed
the entire financial system to suit Wall
street; allowed great national policies
to be dictated by New York million
aires at Delmonico banquets; gave to
the country the notifying spectacle
OF cabinet officers dancing backwards
and forwards between New York
and Washington at the beck and call
OF the national bankers; stopped
the minis from coming silver because
the gold conspirators ordered it done:
put the gold reserve" at the mercy of
the spectators by ruling that the
word of the President was greater than
the law of the land; and, having vio-
lated the law in letting the gold out of
the treasury, violated the law by issu-
ing bonds to get it back again.
Cleveland and Carlislel Wall street
loves them, toasts them, feasts them
uses them.
They are doing this country more
harm than all the robbers. thieves.
counterfeiters, burglars and anarchists
combined. They are sapping the
foundations of law and order, of ma
tional freedom and national prosperity.
They are mortgaging away our future,
and the future of our children. to the
money kings of Europe and America
They are selling the income from the
labor of millions yet unborn. They
are planting the upas tree Of perpetual
debt. They are weaving the threads
ofperpetual bondage. They are fash
ioning the yoke of eternal servitude.
They are sowing the dragon teeth of
lawlessness, tyranny and misrule, and
some of these days up will spring the
harvest of armed men.
