THE ROTHSCHILDS HALO.

The peoples press-the two or three
thousand unsubsidized papers that are
fighting against the money famine of the
gold standard-are frequently illumina-
ted with cartoons of Rothschilds, wear
ing halo on his head Some of the pic
lures are very funny and the general con-
ception is unique. The halo, of course,
stands for the present sainthood of the
vulgar Shylock, who, by debauching leg
islatiOn and cOrnering money, absorbs
the values of the masses around him, but
compels dirty alteration something like
the ancient devilworship.
The house of Rothschilds was founded
the last quarter Of the eighteenth GEN.
tury by Mayer Anselm Bauer, a man born
in Jews Alley, at Frankfort-on-the-M Main
an ex-priest, pawnbroker, and money
changer, doing business at the sign OF
the "Red Shield" From that sign the
family derived their blood-colored title.
In German Red Shield'' is pronounced
Rote-Sheeldt. In England we call it
Rothschi1ds.
Mayer Anselm Bauer made himself the
broker of kings and his sons inherited
his trend and his shekels. In 1915, as
the battle of Waterloo came on, the Roth
schild family took deep interest in that
field of carnage. 1t was no humane, no
patriotic interest, but the cold, clammy
interest of wreckers and squids. To spec
ulate over pools of gore, to turn human
death-sighs into pounds sterling, to load
the dice of a stock exchange over the
oozing corpse and the grinning skull
this was business to the Jews of the
Red Shield. One of them sped from
Waterloo to London, like telegram
with the false message that Bonaparte
had won. Stocks dropped accordingly,
and the next morning they were found
in the pockets of Nathan Rothschild's
syndicate. Shylock Brothers and Com
pany owned the debt Of England at less
than half its face. But they were not
satisfied. They wanted more. So,
year later, in 1916, aided by Gentiles
more Jewish than the Red Shield itself,
they demonetized silver, and the debt
was made payable in gold. When, in
1923, England resumed specie pay
ments,'' afer quarter of a century Of in
vigorating paper money, the few guineas
of the Hebrew goldpot pretty nearly
bought in the realm. Young Robert
Peel, in the House of Commons, pressed
the passage of the resumption act" my
son." said the elder Peel. as he stepped
from the House of Lords, You have
doubled the value of my property, but
you have ruined your country
1t is now known that the influence Of
the Red Shield has been behind the finan-
cial legislation of the United States ever
since 1862, and that such men as John
Sherman and Grover Cleveland are vir-
tually nothing but clerks for the great
London pawn shop, with its various ad-
juncts 1t is impossible for the Amer
ican people to hate the Rothschilds too
bitterly The Red Shield is the wrecker
of nations. and every active member Of
it deserves to be "hot potted,' after the
manner Of the blackamoor in Rider Hag-

The sardonic Rothschilds halo first
arose some eight years ago in the lively
imagination of Herbert George, the fiery
editor of the Denver Road, and every
issue of his paper, l am told, from that
day to this, has repeated it in one way or
another. Mr.. George has rightly center
ed the great gold plot, but now every body
is making the most of the halo, the three
balls. and all the appurtenances of the
Red Shield. Keep it up. Gordon Clark.
The overshadowing curse of America
today is monopoly. He puts his hand on
every bushel of wheat, every sack of
-four, and every ton of coal, and not a
man, woman or child in American but
feels the touch of this money despotism
His sceptre is made out of the iron track
of railroading and the wire of telegraphy.
He proposes to have everything his own
way, for his own advantage and the peo-
pies robbery. He stands in the railroad
depot and puts into his pockets each year
5000, 100000 beyond a reasonable charge
for his services. He controls nomina
tions and e.ections.-Express, Colon,

If England couldn't whip us in 1776,
why should we fear her today. We
whipped the American tories then and we
can whip them all again today, includ-
ing Cleveland. CleWs. Carlisle Ikelheirn-
