yrhe Famons London Financial News Arti-
Gle Is Authentic and tho Champion
Republican Campaign Lie Is
a gf7F Nailed TO the wall

Democratic and Silver National
Headquarters, Chicago, Sept. "a, $780,
The champion republican campaign lie
has been nailed TO the wall, and there is
sorrow and disgust at the republican
headquarters.
The famous London Financial News
article is authentic. All of the lies that
can he invented and circulated by the
republican hired men will be OF no
avail 70 the sin. of lying the repuh-
1ican managers have added that of forg-
cry, but the people are not TO be de-
ceived.
The laundering republican managers
are deeply sorry that they ever at
tempted to assail the authenticity of
the Financial News article, an exact
reproduction of which appears on this
page BY their stupidity they have
attracted genera! attention to most
damaging document for the Hanna
cause. This piece of idiotic manage
ment is on par with the Mexican dollar
fiasco, and the avedriving act now be-
ing performed by railroad companies
and the confederated trusts and syndi
Gates.
Here is a brief history Of the now ia
NOUS London Financial News article
This publication is the leading financial
authority in the money center of the
world. In 1894, at a time when William
Mckinley, Senator Don Cameron, John
Thurston and all the leading republic
ans in the country were working for the
free coinage of silver, the London bank
ers, the Rothschilds. and the great Eng
lish papers representing them, became
alarmed at the prospects that the
United States would declare its financial
independence of England. They prompt
Nv went to work, and, at considerable eX-
pense, purchased the republican party
These same agents attempted to deliver
the democratic party to the Rothschilds
but it is matter of history that they
failed.
English papers discuss American pol
itics with a brutal frankness. If any
proposed American policy threatens
English commercial and financial su'
premacy the London papers frankly say
so. Being in close touch with the Lon
don bankers, the Financial News was in
a position to voice their fears, and it die
so in the article which now threatens
to wipe the republican political syndi'
cate off the face of the earth.
The editorial in question was printed
in the London Financial News April
80, 1894. 1t was freely commented or
.by republican and democratic papers
which are now frantically declaring
that no such article ever appeared
Similar editorials appeared in Other
English papers. They warned the bank
,ers of England against the danger Of
the free coinage of silver by the United
States, and their warnings were not
in vain. Mr. Hanna is now spending
the good, sound, honest money of these
same London bankers in an attempt tc
perpetuate their financial supremacy
over the United States
Among those who received copy OF
the Financial News article was Jchr
NJ Devine, then secretary of the Ameri
can Bimetallic league. 1t was for
wartied to him by the "Durrant Press
Cuttings" bureau, the leading London
firm engaged in that business, and was
pasted on one of their slips, fac sim
lie of which is printed in another col
umn. Senator Teller received a copy
of the paper containing the article, nnd
SO did Congressman Coffeen, of Mon
tana, and many others who keep poste
on the editorial utterances of the lead
ing London papers.
When the St. Louis republican con
vention repudiated all past records anc
openly declared for a single golo
standard, the London financial article
was reprinted in several American pa
pers. At first the republican man
ayers paid little attention to it, They
believed they had money enough tc
buy McKinley's election, and expected
that Whitney and Belmont and Clcve
land would muzzle the free silver peo-
pie at the Chicago convention. They
were mistaken.
Something had to be done. They re
allied that unless the article was dis
credited Mckinley would surely be de
feated. They proceeded to pronounce
the article a fraud and fake. In or
der to give this more effect the repub
iican national committee officially de-
clared that no such article was ever
printed and followed this up by the
preparation and circulation of clumsy
forgeries. Here are two OF them:
London, Aug. IL, 1904. C. Platt

is the next attempt of the literary
bureau of the republican national com
mittee:
