The Cause of Free Silver.
A MATTER OF COURSE,
Money Power No Longer Carries ON
Its Work Secretly and by In.
trigue and Bribery.

At the recent convention of the Amer
lean Bankers association in Cleveland,
O., the following resolution was unan-
imously adopted:
The bankers of the United States most
earnestly recommend that the congress of
the United States at it's next session enact
law to more firmly and unequivocally es-
tablish the gold standard in this country.
by providing that the gold dollar, which
under the existing law Is the unit of value,
shall be the standard and measure of all
values in the United States; and that the
obligations of the government and all paper
money. including circulating notes of ma
tional banks, shall be redeemed in gold coin
and that the legal tender notes of the
United States, when paid into the treasury,
shall not be reissued except upon the de-
post of an, equivalent amount Of gold
coin.
There was a time when the Roths-
child money power carried on it's work
secretly and by intrigue and bribery.
1t was at that stage of it's progress
when it bribed Senator Sherman to Sc
citation of silver in the United States,
and he carried out the will of his mas
ters by employing the forces of false
hood, fraud and forgery. If any OBJ
ject to the vigor or explicitness of
these terms, let him possess his soul in
patience, for a book is now in press
that will contain the proof of each of
these several charges. But the crime
of eDslaving the world to the money
power has advanced to point where
it can afford occasionally to act in the
open, to advance out of ambush and
declare plainly what it means. And
therefore we have this resolution of the
Bankers sociation-composed of alb
ject slaves of the money power-boldly
published to the world.
It means that at the approaching ses-
sion of congress the entire influence
of the money power, acting under the
| command of Baron Rothschild, will be
exerted to secure the enactment of the
infamous Gage-McCleary bill, or some
thing equally as bad. 1t means that
another turn in the death-screw of the
gold standard garrote is to be made;
that the peoples money, silver and
greenbaclzs, is to be destroyed, and
| government bonds substituted in it's
place as basis for additional issues OF
national bank shinplasters, by which
means the people will be forced to pay
double interest for the currency that
they ought to have free. Interest on
the bonds and interest on the money
bottomed on the bonds. Double inter-
est concentrating the single standard
gold basic money all the more rapidly
in the vaults of one family. This is
the Rothschild plan.
Meanwhile, as future protection
against anticipated vigorous protests
on the part of the cheated and debt.
enslaved populace, an imperial army OF
100000 roughs and desperadoes has
been organized, ostensibly to subdue
the Filipinos, but in fact for the sup.

that is being capsuled for the Ameri.
