DAMNABLE CONSPIRACY.
The Money Power ut 1t AgAin--A Terrible
Indictment.


Indictment.
The Money Power is engaged in
another Damnable Conspiracy.
1t promises to be as successful as
the Crime of '73,
1t is an open, barefaced Plot against
which the Toiling Millions are strug-
Cling in yainl
1t is wanton outrage perpetrated
by the Glasses against the Masses.
This conspiracy is nothing less than
a deliberate, cold-blooded attempt to
revive business and restore prosperity
to the country in order to defeat Mr.
Bryan. Here are the proofs:
Number one!
Forty-fve million dollars OF coward
ly, treacherous, intriguing gold has
been imported from Europe. Lots
more is coming though the accursed
Rothschilds are making pretense of
trying to hold it by putting up dis
count rates and raising the price of
American eagles.
Number two.
The price of wheat has been put up
II cents bushel since September s,
and there are threats that it will 20
to dollar. That it is the gold bugs
who are responsible for this is demon
strated by the fact that it is Europe
which is buying our grain and fixing
the price in Liverpool. The fendish-
ness of Lombard street in this matter
is almost beyond contemplation, for
not content with adding nearly S70,-
0O0, 600 already to the value of the
American crop, the double-dyed viii
lains are forcing silver using India to
take some of the burden by import
ing wheat from San Francisco on the
plea that the Indian crops have failed
and that otherwise the Hindoos will
die of starvation. Hadn't they better
die in order to have their mints
opened again?
Number threei
The cotton crop in the south, which
ought by rights to be selling at cents
a pound in order to keep in line with
silver at IS cents an ounce, is being
eagerly bought and paid for in gold
at cents. and the scoundrelly manu-
facturers have let it be known that it
may go to 10 cents before the election
is over. This is nothing more nor less
than a scheme to make the solid south
prosperous, contented and happy
under the gold standard. which
wears the mask of the burglar and
carries the knife of the assassin"
Number four!
Lombard street has quit returning
our securities. but it is breaking its
neck in the endeavor to buy back
Louisville & Nashville at s44 share.
which it sold at S37 or s38; st. Paul at
s73, which it sold for $50 to S6s: and
United States bonds at slI7 that it
parted with at s1lo to Sill. Still more
horrible to tell, English moneylenders
have been trying to lend British gold
here at to per cent, when they
could get per cent to per cent on
as good security at home.
Number FIVE.
Mills and factories are being re-
opened in the most shameless manner
work being furnished to laboring men
whose families are in need of money
but who should gladly starye in order
to secure the election of Messrs. Bryan
and Watson. Dastardfy manufact-
ureTS have no remorse in striking
down American manhood BY Offering
good wages for honest work
Number six.
The perjured members of the bank
ers' syndicate are actually engaged in
lending out money to large numbers
of people, though they have been loud
ly proclaiming that no bank could
keep its doors open in the event OF
Mr.. Bryan's election.
We might cite hundreds of other
proofs, but this Indictment OF the
Money Power is sufficient. As Mr..
Bryan says. when you find bankers
and manufacturers advocating any
thing the plain people had better
watch out. There Is no doubt that
the capitalistic classes are trying to
bring about condition of prosperity,
and hungry workingmen and starving
farmers ought to set their faces like
flint against the iofernal scheme
