DENOUNCING THE FINANCIERs
NV friends II seems 10 me that In the presence Of
the proposition made by the Republican platform
the people Of this country ought be awake 10 the
danger before them. What do you find? You find |
that few financiers able 10 control the amount
of gold, and by sending it out of the country are are
then by bringing 1t back again are able TO raise
stocks and make rich profit again We find that
financial system has been turned over TO the |
stock gamblers. and that these men measure the |
the te'I people but by the stock market. CAppause?
