sell them at a vast profit. In case.
however, Bryan should be defeated
they have another recourse. They |
will cut down wages to the starva-
ton point. Such cuts would be fol
lowed by labor strikes, which would
be put down by the strong arm of
the Federal Government, and thus
the form Of our Government would
be changed.
There is no doubt that is the cheer
ished policy of every European
monarch, as we'll rs of the great
kothschild money combination, to
consolidate the Federal Government
on the United States and make it a
despotism 1t is hard to find a
money dealer on either side of the
Atlantic who will not tell you that
what is wanted is a strong govern
ment to make the people behave. If
Bryan is elected, hundreds of mil
lions will be made in these railroad
deals in the next few years of gem
eral prosperity. If he is defeated
wages will be reduced. dividends will
be made. and the stocks and bonds
will be sold all the same. and mil
lions will flow into the Golfers of the
gold combination.
We ask the people to watch these
grand railroad deals and see what
connection they have with the raid
ing of the Treasury by the Cleveland
Rothschild combination, which has
continued from that time until now.
They will appreciate why it was that
this great money combination de-
sired to wreck railroads and depress
prices: it was that they might gather
in, as they have gathered in, the
!. railroads Of the country and control
Transportation as we'll as finance.
This explains the pernicious ac-
tivity of the railroad corporations
against Bryan and silver and for
Mckinley and gold. In short, the
| gold trust is for Mckinley: every
| railroad in the United States is for
: Mckinley; the banks of Europe and
S America are for Mckinley; every
: monarchical government in Europe
q is for Mckinley; the sugar trust is
9 for Mckinley; the coal trust is fol
1 Mckinley; the Standard oil trust
