Then and Now.

goods of the kind in the United
States that the other party bought
and shipped them without inter
ference by this government. Spain
fought her rebellious subject till the con-
test wore her out and she finally withdrew
and the war ceased. The United States
did not interfere and did not become in
volved in the contest. The Rothschilds
held no bonds OIL the American Spanish
possessions, nor of the United States gov
eminent. The money power of Europe
had no influence at Washington and had
not secured Judgment in New York and
set up a Monte Carlo in Wall street.
James Monroe was an independent patri
otto American President and able states
man, and following Washington's advice
in his Farewell Address to his country
men, kept clear of all entangling ALI
ances with European governments, and
was not involved in war with Spain over
herSrebellious American colonies.
In the Cuban struggle to throw off the
yoke of Spanish tyranny, all is changed.
The International money trust has
thousand billions of bonded indebtedness
piled OH the nations of the earth; as much
debt on every nation as a tax can be col
lected from sufficient to pay the interest.
At Washington the little finger Of the
International Money Trust is more power
full than the loins of the American people.
Spanish bonds to the amount of $500, ooo,-
900 or more are held by members of the
Trust for which Cuba was pledged to pay
the interest. The Jew house of the Roths-
childs is the head Of this International
Money Trust, and the object of this inl-
perial money power is to lose none of its
securities by the revolt of any of the de-
Tendencies or colonies of the nations
owing the Trust national debts.
The power of this Rothschilds Money
Trust shaped the policy of the Washing
ton government at the breaking out of
the Cuban rebellion to stnltify our nation
al policy of avoiding entangling alliances
with foreign powers, and caused the
United States to become all ally of Spain,
and police the sea coast from Maine to
Florida to intercept vessels carrying mn
nitions of war for the Cuban insurgents,
while Spain was permitted to purchase
freely everything of the kind to use
against the Cubans who maintained their
heroic struggle for liberty in the face of
the power of Spain, greatly strengthened
and assisted by the United States.
1t is the old!story repeated. When you
befriend and assist an ungrateful and
unjust man i'll bad cause-and that
kind of man is sure to be engaged in an
unjust cause-and he fails to succeed, he
turns on his benefactor and charges him
with his defeat. AS it is with men so il is
with nations. Having assisted Spain
against the Cubans at cost to this gov
eminent of over f., ooo, ooo Spain in her
failure to overcome the Cubans, turns on
this government and pours out her vials
of wrath on the Yankee pigs" A costly
wal is the aveuging nemesis that is now
visited on the United States for their per-
fidy to human liberty and divine Justice,
and the International Jew Money Trust is
busy with its lobby and subsidized ma
chinery at Washington and all its goldbug
newspapers i'll the country, to heap an
additional $500, 900, 900 bond debt on the
United States as well as to manage at the
outcome of the present war to retain Cuba
as security for the $500, 900, 900 that
Spain mortgaged the revenues of the
island for. How long o, how long
Will our people refuse to look up and see
their bond masters with the chains of
slavery in their hands that are to bind
them and their posterity as the servants
OF this money power forever?
The House in obedience to its money
trust masters hurried through the bond
measure making the shortest period for
payment of the principal of the bonds ten
years, but the Senate, which has become
the popular branch in place of the more
aristocratic, as was the intention
of the founders of the government,
has put up powerful opposition
to the bond scheme of the House,
which under the administration has be
come cringing servant of plutocracy.
There isn't one particle of necessity for
empowering the President and his nation.
