drew out $500 900 in gold to pay for
those bonds, and TO the extent Of SlS,OO0,-
600 the government had no more gold than
when 1t commenced, although 1t had
agreed to pay interest on slS,0OOOOO of
bonds. II there Is any man who cannot
understand the absurdity of that PROPOSE
tion l ask him to ask his wife about It, be-
cause there is not wife that cannot tell
you that 1t was an idiotic transaction.
Ihon they issued 100000 and drew out
larger percentage of the gold than the
first time. Then they made the Roths-
childs contract. There was u contract by
which this government sold to a private
syndicate bonds at LO41S, which were at
the time worth 1 10 in the market There
Is not private citizen who would ever do
that kind of business, or his relatives
would have u guardian to take care Of his
property.
They sold bonds and sent them across
the ocean, and before six months were up
the same bonds that went across the ocean
at lOi4 came back to this country and
took gold away from this country at 1.2O.
That Is tlnanciering. That is wisdom in
financial circles. And if there is any one
here that does not see that it is WISE do
not say so, because they will say you are
an ignoramus down in Wall street, That
contract contained stipulation by which
the Rothschilds and Morgan syndicate
agreed for a certain length of time to do
their best to protect the treasury of the
United States. They hired two men to
back the treasury. If this government Is
going to admit that 1t depends for it's fl
nancial existence upon two banking firms
one foreign and one domestic, then 1t puts
itself where those people can charge this
government whatever they please. l am
not much of u flnancier, but my idea Is
that instead of hiring those men to let us
alone we ought to try them as they do
any other men who conspire against the
government and punish them for con-
spiracy against the country.
IF some petty individual who did not
have high financial standing were to try
to beat the government out of 800 they
would put him In the penitentiary and
make an example out Of him. But If a
man tries to beat the government out of
So,OOOOOO he becomes a patriot and de-
serves to be the chief guest where treasury
! officials are banqueted. l do not believe
that the men who manage the tinancier-

l believe the time has come when the sec
retary of the treasury, instead of being in

and told what he must do, ought to invite
the magnaJes of Wall street before him
and tell them what they must do, and
make them do it.
II have been called an anarchist because
l have opposed the trusts and syndicates
