Syndicate No. 10000 acres.
This is Scotch concern and its land
is in Florida.
The above itemized statement does
not include the Holland syndicate,
which owns 5000, 900 acres of graz
ing land In Western States, nor the
German syndicate owning 1000, 900
acres in various States.
10000, 900 acres along the line Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad has
recently passed into the hands of
the English stockholders OF that
railroad.
Foreign holdings of large business
blocks in our large cities, railways,
breweries, newspaper stock and
other interests are rapidly increas-
ing.
They own over $1,000, 900 600 Of
our national, State, municipal and
corporate bonds, on which we are
paying them over $500, 900, 900 an
nually in interest, in gold.
The above are some Of the facts
showing in a general way the pre- S.
ent situation in the United States.
1t shows that civilization ard the
conditions for promoting good citi-
zenship are deteriorating.
From the selfish race for money
we now pause to realize that the
United States has been honeycombed
by foreign influences and that our
property is rapidly passing into their
hands.
Legislation for the last forty-fve
years has frequently been in the in
terest Of special selfish classes to the
injury of ajority of the people.
To a few people, styling them
selves corporations, Congress has
given millions OF acres of land, to-
