Washington's Birthday.


evil genius of free institutions on
this continent. In the struggle of
1916 the Rothschild's power was in
its infancy, but its malignity
against American liberty and in
dependence was as subtle and VIC
lent then as now. The sale OF
Hessian soldiers by Rothschild to
the English government to do the
brutal work of the war of the Rev
olution, from which even English
men revolted, is not exaggerated by
the caricature. 1t was hard for
Englishmen to murder in cold blood
prisoners of war even if they were
in their estimation rebels of the
deepest dye, but the hireling Hes
sian soldier was a willing instru-
ment of cruelty and barbarity to
cooperate with the savages of the
forest which England bribed to
murder the defenseless colOnists
without the immediate imposition
of the rising financiers of the house
of Rothschild, because it is not re-
corded that the Rothschilds took
any active part in the Indian mas
sacres of that period. Whether
they furnished the money for that
purpose may never be known. The
progress of the schemes of ROths,
child is also exhibited in the car
feature where his servants, our
rulers, are rejoicing with him over
the recent bond robberies which
are the chains of slavery by which
the limbs of American tOilers are to
be bound to the soil to labor as de-
graded serfs. Does anyone doubt
that Washington, who was the
central figure in resisting the power
of Great Britain and the intrigues
of Rothschild in 1876, if on earth
would not be ON the American side
of the great conflict now raging ?
Is it possible that he aud his gal
liant hosts could have endured the
hardships of the Revolution if he
and they could have known that in
a little more than one hundred
years the mercenary schemers who
were selling to the British govern
ment Hessian soldiers would be the
dictators of the government of the
United States, which was being
founded by the patriotic efforts of
our Revolutionary fathers? If he
could have known that this same
family which at that time was COM
paratively unknown, but which was
aiding Great Britain in the most
artful, cruel, and deliberate way,
would reap all of the benefits which
were intended for the human race
!. by the establishment of free insti;
tutions on this continent, would he
have borne the hardships and suf-
fered the privations involved in
that struggle for such cause ?
Would not the very thought of the
rule of the Rothschild money power
on this continent have caused him
and his devoted followers to have
persisted at Valley Forge? Would
not the consciousness that greed,
avarice, fraud, treachery, bribery,
and corruption, organized under
the leadership of the Rothschild
combination have sent despair to
the hearts of Washington and his
army and so add to the fearful suf-
ferings of that terrible winter at
Valley Forge as to have crushed
their brave spirits which were all
that sustained them amid suffering
which none but the dauntless
could endure. Washington's birth
day calls upon every American cit
izen to consider the history of the
times in which he lived and the
great struggle in which the patriot
fathers who founded this republic
were engaged and compare that
struggle for liberty with the fearful
crisis which is now upon us. If the
Rothschild combination which now
controls the public press, the venal
politicians and all the money in the
civilized world shall remain
supreme there is nothing in the
past which can be compared in
gloom and despair with the picture
of the future which is presented to
the American people. British rule
and British persecution of the col
onists and all the injustice, cruelty,
and oppression which they involved
