frauding Of some bank or individual
of few paltry dollars, but forgery,
deliberately planned and designed to
wrest billions out OF the producers OF
America.

this morning the story Of this colossal
crime. The narrative is told with the

criminal in the dock can fancy he

America will at once wreSt from Eng

countries. The Republican national
committee branded this as q forgery
of the Democrats when it appeared.
Their hired orators aud their subSi-

their lying denials and their charges
that the editorial was pure fabrica-

the Financial News in London con-
