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
ARTICLES authentic All of the lies that
can be invented and circulated by the
republican hired men will be of no
avail. To the sin Of lying the repub-
lican 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 general attention to a most
damaging document for the Hanna
cause. This piece Of idiotic manage
ment is on a par with the Mexican dollar
fiasco, and the slave-driying act now be-
ing performed by railroad companies
and the confederated trusts and syndi
Gates.
Here is 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 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 Rothschiids, and the great Eng
lish papers representing them, became
alarmed at the prospects that the
United States would declare it's financial
independence of England. They prompt
ly went to work, and, at considerable ex-
pense, purchased the republican party.
These same agents attempted to'deliyer
the democratic party to the Rothschilds,
but it is matter of history that they
failed.
English papers discuss American pol.
itics with brutal frankness. If any
proposed American policy threatens
English commercial and financial ssu-
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 1t did
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
30, 1894. 1t was freely commented on
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 we're not
in vain. Mr.. Hanna is now spending
the good, sound, honest money of these
same London bankers in an attempt to
perpetuate their financial supremacy
over the United States.
Among those who received copy of
the Financial News article was John
M. Devine, then secretary of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic league. 1t was for
warded 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
oiifu DCltbOT ltlltI iCCClNCu u cOpy
Of the paper containing the article, and
SO did Congressman Colleen, of Mon
tam, and many others who keep posted
on the editorial utterances of the lead
ing London papers.
When the st. Louis republican con-
vention repudiated all past records and
openly declared for a single gold
standard, the London financial article
was reprinted In several American pa
pers. AT first the republican man
ayers paid little attention to 1t. They
believed they had money enough to
buy McKinley's election, and expected
that Whitney and Belmont and Cleye
land would muzzIe 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 fraud and fake. In or
der to give this more effect the repub-
lican 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. II, 1s96.--A. C. Platt,
Esq. Lincoln, U. s. A.-Dear Sir: We
beg to return your cutting, which you
forwarded US, and say that no such
article ever appeared in the Financial
News. Faithfully yours,
THE EDITOR"
