From Silver Knight:

From Silver Knight:
The news from London, where the
car of Russia is in consultation with
other monarchs of Europe, shows who
the enemies are with whom the Ameri-
can people are contending. The press
of Great Britain declares that an at
tempt on the part of the United States
to restore the coinage laws of the bet
ter days of the republic would practi-
cally mean the reputation OF their
debts, and that this would lead to the
withdrawal of ENJOYS and declarations
of war. We knew that the monarchs
of Europe were aiding the Rothschilds
to corner the gold of the world for the
purpose of destroying democracy in the
United States; we knew that the gold
ties of New York and their representa-
tives at st. Louis and indianapolis
were acting under orders from Europe
to suppress anarchy" in the United
States by starving the people into sub
mission; but We were not prepared for
IAN open declaration on the part OF the
London press that if the American gov
eminent dared to readopt the coinage
laws of Jefferson and Jackson, which
have been surreptitiously eliminated
from the statutes, ENJOYS would be
Withdrawn and declaration of war
made. We do not now believe that
Great Britain, although she may have
the proffered aid Of every monarch in
Europe, will or dare provoke war with
the United States. It is true that she
made war in Egypt lor the same caNse
that she now alleget against the United
States, and enslaved that people. 1t
ia true that she has robbed and plum
'dered every weak people who had any
thing to steal But she has tried war
with the United States twice and lost
the game each time. She is now prac
ticing a different method. She has con-
troll of our financial system whereby
she is sapping the foundation of repub-
lican institutions. She obtained that
control by fraud and bribery and ex-
poets to continue it by the same means.
The tens of millions at Hannas COM
mand are contributed through the
agencies Of Lombard street, although
Pierpont Morgan and the Belmonts
may deliver the money. The forces
England Is now using against the
United States are of the Hessian stripe.
They sell their country and do battle
against their own people for English
gold.
The London banks command the
New York banks to inaugurate
squeeze and bring the masses to terms,
and the New York banks extend the
command to every banking institution
in the landau combined make war
upon the industries of the country
Merchants, manufacturers, railroad
corporations and all others employing
labor are told they must vote with
their employees for gold or prepare for
bankruptcy. The employers Of labor
throughout the United States as rule
are now engaged in coercing labor to
avoid the punishment which the banks
threaten. The English combination are
confident of their ability to purchase,
corrupt and coerce the American peo-
ple., to place in the white house an ex-
ecutive who will use the armies of the |
United States to suppress the democ-
racy which they now call anarchy, and |
save England from the humiliation Of |
defeat in another open conflict. They |
expect to subject the American people |
this time with the hired Hessians OF |
America, and not in the manner which
they attempted in the revolution, when
they brought the Hessians of Hesse-
Cassel to this country to carry on a
barbarous warfare with the patriots
Of America. The threat of war is in
earnest, but the expectation is to use
subsidized Americans to fight the peo-
pie of the United States, if they insist
upon their constitutional rights. The
following in dispatch from London
Ia a specimen of the manner in which
the press Of Great Britain discusses
American affairs 1t is quoted from the
London Telegraph, the daily which has
a larger circulation than any other in
England and is as follows:
English capitalists will never take
their interest from the United States
IN deprecated currency. The adoption
Of bimetallism, or, as it would become
alter, the silver standard in America,
would practically mean the repudia-
ion of their debts is generally accept
ID, and 1t is this sors Of thing which
eads to the withdrawal OF ENJOYS and
declarations Of wars"
