Will Mckinley Be Cleveland?

of Japan to adopt the gold standard
as a basis for gold circulation.
Her war indemnity is to be con-
verted into gold, and the Roths-
childs are carrying on the negotia-
ton. There is no place to obtain
that gold except from the United
States.
Peru has also fallen into the
hands of the Rothschilds combina-
ton, and no longer has any govern
ment of its own, but is practically
in the hands of a receiver. 1t has
been put on gold basis, and the
importation of silver prohibited.
Whatever credit Peru has, what
ever bonds she may sell will be sold
for gold under the management of
the Rothschild combination.
Mr.. Mckinley came into office
with gold in the treasury amount
ing to more than $3.50, 100000 This
was sufficient to meet the eXigen-
cies of the speculations into which
the Rothschilds have entered in
Austria, Japan and Perm. We
have accumulated for the cOnyen-
fence of the Rothschilds more than
hundred millions of gold which
they will now take, and say that
we must pay it to them to preserve
the credit of the United States.
We have in the treasury over
1921 100000 ofsurplus money lying
idle. But if Mr.. Mckinley is bound
hand and foot as the vassal or slave
of the Rothschild combination, he
will give that combination all the
gold it desires and, if need be, will
follow in the footsteps of his illus
trious predecessor and sell bonds to
buy more gold.
The Republican party is rushing
through tariff bill for more taxes,
when, according to the rate of de-
ficiency for the last two years, the
present surplus would maintain an
abundant reserve in the treasury
during McKinley's administration
But what good will piling up money
in the treasury do if, when the
money is collected, the President
will not use it to pay government
obligations There are no laws by
which the United States can enforce
the payment of gold, and there
ought not to be, for there are no
laws by which the creditors of the
United States demand gold in pref
erence to any other legal tender
money of the United States. The
program is open. Eighteen hun
dred and ninety-two is on us again.
The Rothschilds want from $780,
100000 to $3.50, 100000 of gold for
their speculations in Austria, Japan
and Peru, and the only question is,
will the President wreck the for
tunes of the millions who gave him
place to enable the extortionists to
rob and enslave the helpless people
of Austria, Japan and Peru? If
President Mckinley will recall his
vote that these obligations were
payable in silver; if he will recall
his vote in the committee on resolu-
tuions in the convention of 1888,
and his report on those resolutions
and the unanimous vote of the con-
vention, will he not hesitate to pur-
sue the disastrous and wicked
course of his unfortunate pred
ecessor?
There is no lodging the issue.
Mr.. Mckinley must have more
severe panic than any that ever
inflicted this country, or he must
obey the law and use silver as
money. The work of spoliation
and robbery has begun. Six mil
lion, five hundred thousand dollars
of gold were exported last week
How much will go this week can
not now be predicted, but we know
that with Mr.. McKinley's consent
all our gold will go, and more bonds
must be issued in time of peace.
But if he will not become a party
to the ruin of his country, the
honor and credit of the government
will be preserved and the Treasury
Department allowed to execute the
laws of Congress.
If the purpose of the repetition
of the raid on the treasury to put
Austria on a gold basis, whereby
