The Signs That Warn Us.

and deliberately starving them to death
by hundreds OF thousands, and the snarl
which that tyrannical government and
people have gotten into with the United
States, have developed condition among
what pass for Christian nations of the
world, that has not yet appeared in a
clear light to the people Of this country.
There was a great outcry raised over
the massacre of the christian" Arme-
mans by the Turks, or barbarous tribes in
the Turkish empire. All the newspapers
of Europe and the United States raised
such protest as served to arouse the peo-
pie to a war spirit against the Turk.
When the indignation against the cruelty
to the Armenians had subsidized, or nearly
so, cooperation of the great Christian
powers was entered into which permitted
the Turkish army to almost over run
Greece, and threaten to conquer and
annex the little Christian nation to the
Mohamnedan empire.
The people of the whole world looked
on in wonder at Christian nations assisting
the Turks against weak Christian
nation. The scene shifts and Spain is
witnessed inflicting greater barbarites on
the Cubans than the Armenians suffered,
with the newspapers Of those European
nations keeping the facts hidden from
their people and not uttering single
protest against the unheard of barbarities
practiced by Spain on the unoffending
people of one of her colonies. And the
| high people of the United States,
such as Senator Hoar who was frantic
over the cruelties suffered by the Amen
ians, who it was reasonable to believe
would be first and loudest in protest
| against the savagery of Spain, taking the
side of Spain. and the government at
Washington also helping Spain against
the Cnbans, actually spending s., 900, 900
in assisting Spain to capture and Illustrate
filibuster expeditions. This is done
against the protests from the whole peo-
pie of this country, except the money
class and that class retained attorneys.
such as Hoar.
Why did not the United States enter
strong protest against the uncivilized
warfare waged by Spain? The people
were i'll favor of such course 1t would
have given moral support to the struggl-
ing Cuban patriots. Why did not the
administration obey Congress and grant
belligerent rights to Cuba
The same powerful cause influenced all
these seeming contradictions. The money
oligarchy has gained such power in or
over all the Christian nations of Europe
that it dictates a uniform action bv all.
That oligarchy of money has formed all
alliance with all the royal houses and
aristocracy of Europe, who enjoy its fnan-
cial support for their armed protection.
There will be no war among the great
armed nations of Europe. Those immense
armies and navies are not to fight each
other but to protect each other and over
awe and butcher the people if they rebel
against the wholesale robberies they
suffer.
The weaker nations and less civilized peo
pie of Asia, and the barbarians of Africa,
are being overrun and reduced to slavery
in order to create wealth to enrich the
great moneyed oligarchy controlled 10y
the house of the Rothschild Jews, and
support its armed allies, the thrones and
aristocracy of Europe
The United States is the only thorn in
the side of this unholy alliance. They
hate and fear this country's great power
and example on the plain people of the
world. They are ready to combine
against this country if ever the times are
ripe for it. The quiet sympathy they ex-
tend TO Spain shows where all these
European nations stand. The lew bank
ers who are at the head Of affairs and who
are the real rulers of Europe, are opposed
to war. 1t is a waste of wealth which
they can best gather in by their secret
arts of diplomacy and bribery.
They are making inroads rapidly OIL
the liberty and wealth of this country by
the same methods they have used to
capture the monarchies and aristocracies
of Europe. III place Of the royal FAM
lilies and governing class they use in the
old world they seize upon and corrupt
our political parties, and through them
the legislatures of the States, Congress,
the Judiciary and the Administration.
Cleveland was their paid agent and
Mckinley is their covering servant The
temper of the people is now at "a danger
GUS point and the money power is draw
ing back, endeavoring to curb reckless
and egotistic Spain and fencing with
diplomacy.
This moneyed oligarchys greatest in
vention is the gold standard. By that
means they are enabled to corner the
money fthe world, make it scarce among
people and dear, requiring large amounts
of their produce and service to buy a
little money. By empoverishng the in
dustrial classes they are weakened polit-
ical and broken in spirit and indepen-
dence. If there was prospect of adding
an additional bonded debt 10 this country
by war with Spain the oligarchy would
promote such war, but the chances are
that the effort 10 beat SDpin would he so
