mortgages upon all that the people now
have or may acquire, to the end that the
conspiraturs may hold the people in their
iron grasp to squeeze them when they
show signs of wealth accumulation. A
more dastardly outrage upon the people
could not be perpetrated, and if the con-
ventions can be driven from their moor
ings, which is purpose to furnish oppor-
tunity for the widest possible distribution
of the country's wealth increases, there
will be little use hereafter for National or
any other kinds of party conventions. If
Wall street is allowed to paralyze the bust
ness operations of every mechanic, OF
every farmer, of every merchant, of every
mill, of every factory, and of all other
kinds of enterprise when it's methods and
policy are questioned. it were better to
make Wall street the center OF control and
authority for the whole country and thus
relieve the people OF the expense of main
tanning government at Washington.
1t need not be said, for it is we'll known,
that what Wall street is aiming at is the
prevention of the adoption of policy by
the st. Louis and Chicago conventions
which would be likely to secure to the
business interests of the country a volume
of circulating money equal to their re-
quirements. Wall street wants that al
ways there shall be scarcity of loanable
money, so that it can not only control the
volume in circulation, but control the val
ues of all products as well. This threat of
Wall street furnishes good deal of food
for thought, and the more the people
think about it the better will they be pre-
pared to stand up for their rights, among
which is the right to meet in convention
and declare their choice of theories of gov
eminent without first being obliged to get
Wall streets permission.
