Sr:-All the sOphlstry, falsehood and
misrepresentation which the genius of
evil can invent, and unlimited resources
distribute in pamphlets, newspapers
and speeches. is answered and refuted
by the iact that times are hard and
growing harder. The gold gamblers,
sock JobberS and money changers of
London and New York have absolutely
controlled the finances Of the United
States for nearly a quarter of a CEN
fury. During that time no Secretary Of
the Treasury has failed to obey the
executive committee of the ROthschilds
combination in regard 10 the operations
or the treasury and the execution or nom
execution Of the laws of Congress. The
committee hailing from Wall street and
Lombard street Is the power behind the
throne. In 1929, when Harrison and
Cleveland invited the ROthschid syn
dictate 10 take gold from our treasury
10 constitute a reserve TO enable the
syndicate to convert $4,000, 100000 OF
Austrian silver obligations into $780,
100000 of gold obligations. il was de-
clared by the press and all corruption
lists IN the land that this was done TO
maintain American credit and create
prosperity in the United States. While
the treasury was being plundered for
the Austrian deal the Secretary OF the
Treasury was conniving with the exec
uuve committee OF the syndicate in a
scheme to wipe from the statute books
the only law which recognized silver as
a money metal The infamous scheme
which was agreed upon by the commit
zee and the executive department OF the
government was a financial squeeze,
whereby they could force Congress to
submit 20 the dictaIons of the money
powers. The financial squeeze pro-
duced a lasting panic, which must con
Lnua as long as the gold standard IS
maintained.
What is the gold standard and how
wss IL produced? One-half of the met
allie money of the world was destroyed
bv the decentralization Of silver, wnlch
more than doubled the purchasing
power OF the other half. The British
gold standard did not stop here, but the
Pothschild combination induced all
the leading nations Of Europe TO Duy
the hard gold os.ensibly for war pur-
noses. but really 10 make gold dear and
property cheap.
No matter how much gold the mines
produce. the nations Of Europe are ser
wants of the RO.hschilds and Will aid
that great combination of capital TO
maintain their corner IN gold. All Eu-
rome Is groaning under taxation amount
ing practically to corhscation Of prop
erfv TO buy and hoard gold. The debts
of the government Of the United STATES
and of the people OF this country anu
Europe already aggregate az least nVe
thousand millions, and are lncreaslns
AZ the rate of about $3.50 100000 10 $oUV'-
600 600 a year, TO buy gold TO a.d the

money and holding down the price OF
