II seems @ III judicial blindness had
stricken the gold worshipers. Today
the sympathieS u the world are en-.
listed II behalf 81 the struggling Gu
bans and the Greeks and the Armeni-
ans. yet the policies of the leading ma
tions q the world appear to be domin-
ated by the fundholders. To the shame
Of all Americans. our own administra-

the hand Of Midas. ~ 5l. t v.
Indeed. our secretary Of state has
never recovered from that touch ii
1868 which transformer him. When In

American citizens IN Cuba? All! those
Spanish bonds held In London and se-$

Cubs!
THE powers (the money bags
really make common cause In the
bourse Of the world, in New York as
we'll as in London. There will be no
big war. That would end thu gold craze.
for when was war ever successfully
conducted with gold? Honor, sympa-
thy for Armenians,. Cretans and
Greeks, must be held in allegiance at.
the behest Of the money bags.
The vast armament of Europe, which
has made 1t almost aNmilitary camp. is
not maintained for war, but to pre-
vent an uprising Of the people, as Sem
ator Teller said in the senate more
than a year ago. #
Americans may have the proud salts
faction Of knowing that we are paying.
the tribute with which, Great Britain is
building her great navy and lining our
borders with fortified naval stations, as
the Irish agitator, Michael Davitt,
points out. while we, of gigantic
strength and resources, are crippling
our strength and trying to get through
congress some bankrupt bill to re-
lieye the millions Of ruined men who
are the victims e thia Rrit;sl, dogma
Of gold monometal,ism
This "a indeed n;ctura for mer,.

sessed Of satanic ingenuity and malice.
they idly pirate OF the honor and credit
Of their country. with nolicies. which
are rapidly forcing iit along the road
to ruin! And they talk Of the silver
craze. forsooth. adding insult to the in
telligence Of their countrymen to the
deep and damu!ng injury they have In
ficted. In what way can 1t be account

upon the subject Of gold-a gold craze,

"Oh, that God the gift would give them
To see themselves as others see them"
to paraphrase the couplet Of Burns.
Blind as bats, not to see the trend Of
