THE .sPoTTED STEER. IN POL,
IVI(S

THE "sPoTTED STEER" IN Poll
ITICs.
Armour. the great meat pack
er, for years kept a spotted
steer, trained to lead the cattle
from the pen, to the place of
slaughter. A narrow hall was
provided, down which old buck
would walk with stately tread,
until near the place where the fa-
tai knife descended, when he
would turn aside through door
which closed after him, and his
unsuspecting followers VIII o
trusted to his leadership went
on to their doom.
For years old buck was the
pet of his employers and lived
in clover. His treachery to his
kind was we'll rewarded.
Buck being much fiattered,
and being fat and over-fed be-
came conceited and naughty.
His arrogance was overpower-
ing. He thought no doubt that
his long years of devotion to his
employers, his hypocracy, and
cruelty to his own kind, would
always afford him immunity
from the fate to which he had
led thousands of his admiring
fellows. He had not learned the
lesson that greed and averice is
never grateful for past favors.
One morlng buck, was cut off in
the twinkling of an eye, without a
warning and without remedy, He
had had his usual fodder from his
masters crib and started on his
daily task, but lo--when he
reached the door, through which
he was accustomed to escape, it
was closed a nd barred,-buck
struggled with the despera
ton of despair, but his inno-
cent victims crowded from the
rear and he was driven forward,
until the cleaning knife descended,
and the old reprobates blood min
gled with that of his fellows. A
just retribution say some, ingrati.
tude on the part of Armour say
Others.
However it may be, bucks ex
periance establishes a moral for
man to consider.
For twenty yeas the Rothchilds
and money kings Of Europe have
had their spotted steers in this
eountry-men whom the Ameri.
can people have trusted with their
Legislation, and followed blindly.
Through their influence and treach
cry financial web has been woven
for the unsuspecting masses.
Year by year money has grown
tighter, the price Of products and
of labor has declined, industrial
and commercial enterprises have
languished and failed, debts have
accumulated until today ruin CON

as no nation was ever blessed. Fl.

National Bank of Illinois Fails and DHSgs
Down Three Other Concerns.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The National
Bank of Illinois, generally considered
one of the strongest financial institu.
tons in the West, closed it's doors and
the failure dragged down three other
concerns, E. S. Buyer & Co., Wasmans-
dorff, Heineman & Co., and the Rose
land bank. The failure of the National
Bank of Illinois was due to the fact its
entire capital Of 81. zoo, 900 and 500, 900
over and above it's surplus Of $S0A,oO0,
had been loaned on Calumet electric
railroad stock. Five hundred thousand
dollars was loaned to Dseyer & Co.,
who had spread their capital Gut
so extensively that they were unable
to concentrate it i1r time to
save themselves. The other failures
were due to- the locking up of assets
held by the National Bank Of Illinois.
and which were not available when
that institution closed it's doors. No
further trouble is expected as the
clearing house association has agreed to
pay Is per cent Of the deposits in the
National Bank of Illinois 1t is prob.
able that all of the banks will resume
with the exception of the National
Bank of Illinois, and all depositers will
be paid in full.
