Milbank Review: OF all the down

temptlble rot that the banking interests
throughout the country are trying to
ram down peoples ,hroats again is The
prediction that II BRYAN Is elected there
will be q panic and that the country
will go to the devil generally. Along
with The banking interests are the big
trusts and tariff protected industries
that are talking about shutting down.

Bryan's election. Reports arc being
sent out from Republican headquarters
that certain vast financial deals under
contemplation will be compelled to
abandon their enterprises should Nc

lows down In towns the size OF Milbank
yelp the same chorus. One OF these fol-
lows jumped upon the editor of the Re-
view one day this week andlnquired
when we were going to get the roof upon
our new printing office building. We
replied that we expected to do so In q
few DAYS. "Well," he replied, IL Bryan
is elected yon Wont need any new roof to
your building" Upon our inquiring
what difference IL made as to who was
elected president, he replied: well, il
Bryan is elected business will come to
standstill.' "Why willitY weinquired.
"Well." he went on. "all Of us bankers
will draw in every dollar OF our loans"
We asked If that would cause the sun to
stop shining, or the ram falling, or the
grass growing, or the wheat to continue
to- sprout, or cattle to grow and increase,
or cause people to stop eating OF wear

was about all be- answered. And then
another Republican predicted that il
Bryan was elected there would be a lot
of soup houses over the country, and
when we suggested that Mckinley better
establish lot down In the coal regions
OF Pennsylvania, where oyer 10000
miners were out Of work, and over half
a million human beings we're hungry
and starving at the present time, he had
nothing more to say.
Isn't it frightfnl nay, isn't it damna-
bic, that a class Of business interests
should be permitted to thus attempt to
bulldoze, browbeat, intimidate, terrify
and threaten voters into voting for
president and an administration that is
the agent Of these vast corporations,
trusts and syndicates?
Now, let us see what this Republican
administration stands for. To the mind
OF tha Review, the national banking
trust is absolutely the worst. This
money trust has been working for long
years to electa president and congress
that will enact law prohibiting the
government from issuing dollar of
money, and to place the sole and arbi-
trary power in the hands OF the national
banks to issue every dollar Of money.
Sad to say, they have been able to take
big strides in that direction. Now, sup
posing they gain their end, they will be
absolute masters of the entire business
interests of the country. They would
have it in their power at any moment,
and by the stroke of pen, to precipitate

and when they had thus acquired them

then repeat the panic business in the
course OF a few years, and reap vast pro-

the money pirates hope to be able TO CON

The little country banker, like the fel-
low who jumped upon the editor OF the
Review, may think that heis "some
pumpkins" because he is making few
loans Of other people's money temporar-
lily deposited In his bank, but he wont be
in ita little bit when the national bank
octopus in New York establishes a
branch national bank in Milbank, and
freezes him out.
The real anarchists in the country to-
day are the fellows who threaten panics,
by locking up their money, and by at
tempting moral intimidation to voters,
in order that they may be enabled to get
q stronger grip upon the business inter-
ests OF the country. These fellows want
to be a little careful, or there will be a
few necktle parties some day in the
vicinity OF lamp posts.
