Mr.. MCKINLEY might just as well
say he is for bimetallism, and parity,
and all the other mysterious things
which are usually in Republican plat.
forms. 1t would be great comfort to
these silver Republicans Of Kansas,
who are supporting him under protest,
and 1t wouldn't hurt Mckinley In the
East. Those Fasteners would under.

WAR AND RUKORs OF WAR.

All these wars and PumOrs Of wars
are but q natural consequence Of Or
ganized svsrice. They are q part of
the great game ShylOck has been play
Ing for these hundreds Of years. An
era Of peace during which organized
wealth works the law making power Of
the different governments, getting the
peoples currency turned into interest
bearing obligations; and when no more
can be done In that line, then comes
more war. More war, during which
the cry Of patrlotism-'save the coun-
try"-gets in its work. More patriot
ism, more slaughter and carnage, more
destruction of property, more crime
and making Of criminals, more ma
tiOnal debt, and finally more interest
bearing bonds to restore and strengthen
the public credit. Then another era
Of peace, during which the money
mongerS gather In the spoils of war
The old game has been played over and
over, and still the people seem to
enjoy 1t.
Great military men, as rule, know
but little about the dark ways and
dsmnable methods Of the great "finsn-
Cler0." After Gen. Grant had made
what was called q magnificent success
as q military man, he was made Presi-
dent, and was In the hands of the
money sharks as clay in the hands Of
the potter. In the way Of recommend
ing and sanctiOning legislation he was
always ready to do just what they
asked of him, and 1t is said that they
even commanded him, as he COM
msnded his subordinstes during the
war. After retiring from the Presi-
dency he became the prey Of bank con.
fidence men, who actually robbed him
Of what had been given him for past
services to their clan. AT the same time
his name was used to draw others into
one Of the most gigantic bank swim
dies ever perpetrated in this country.
This is stated to show that the fsvorite
statesman Of the money power is he
who knows nothing Of financial affairs,
or he who has no conscience. Grant
was one of the money powers heroes,
and he served his admirers well.
Surely, the people of the United
States ought to be intelligent enough
to learn something from the lessons Of
history.
