Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-09-07

New York Verdict. Here be true
news. This is grave story. 1t is one
of even near concern to small and
great. Let it come unshod of simiie,
unbasked of imagery or rhetoric, I'M
clouded of any mists of metaphor. In
Wall street as this is read the giant
trust of all is forming. 1t is to col
lect within itself the banks of New
York city. Its core to be Standard
Oil. It's moving spirits are John
Rockefeller and Pierpont Morgan.
With them in full and close associa-
ton are the Rothschilds and their Am
erican agents. 1t was to link the
Rothschilds to the scheme that of late
took Morgan Europeward and brought
him back again. This trust, at Its
contamination, which is close, will
pull the reins of guidance and crack
the whip of domination over two bill
lions of dollars. 1t will, as stated, be
a muster Of the New York city banks
They are to be made into one force
unified and brought under one word
and one command. Thereafter they
are to say mo" together or Eyes" to-
gether, or together stand motionless
and mute. The trust of the banks is
to be the dictator trust; to overload
all other trusts. The greatest among
these latter will be dwarfed as they
stand beside it. We, the people. are to
become the subjects of bank conquest
and suffer the feudalism of money.
This bank trust is to be our William
of Normandy. New York city is to be
its Hastings without blow 1t will
have, as it were, Doomsday book,
and the country is to be parceled
among it's followers.
This is a true tale. There is neither
guess nor fancy in its telling. Naught
but the bold facts are set forth. This
trust expects to hold the nation in the
hollow of it's hand. Their plan is to be
the grand bank of the United States;
issue at the last its money and have
custody of it's credit. In a cruder day
Jackson defeated parallel conspira-
cy; crushed beneath his stern heel
the head of a similar serpent. with
this difference: That was a python
Of seven and one-half millions, baby
and a plaything to the one in hand
Now are we to confront a serpent OF
two billions. or one two hundred and
fifty times as large. At a time, too,
when the Jacksons seem gone from our
midst. For a century and quarter
Europe, pointing to America whether
in haze or love, was driven to say with
Job: There the wicked cease from
troubling: there the weary be at rest.
There the prisoners rest together;
they hear not the voice of the oppres-
,or! The small and the great are
there. and the servant is free from his
master," Once, this trust of the
banks, and Europe will say this no
more. There will be none to give
tongue to it. The fact of freedom will
have departed, the song would be a
lie. In that day of gilded narrow fet-
.crs the spirit of true American SIN
will be crippled, bent and broken. A
,ightless Samson, it will grind in the
mills of the Philstines, it will long
'or destruction and dig for death as
Tor treasures that lie hid.
Standard Oil is to be the heart OF
his bank trust. There is one known
hing of Standard Oil. Its minimum
profits are at least forty millions year
w. How much more they be is the
Jealous secret Of Standard Oil, and
none may pierce it. AS stated, as
,aptain- of this bank trust
are Rockefeller, Morgan and the
Rothschilds. They will go to New Jer-
sew for organization. That state has
crown the Morocco Of America. Its
statutes are the merest shipyards to
Guild and launch and outfit these trust
pirates of commerce. New Jersey, to
De consistent, should adopt the black
lag as it's banner II should float the
Jolly Roger with skull and cross bones
from the dome staff of its capitol
Once this trust of the banks is afloat
will have beneath its pennants every
bank in New York. They must JOIN
IL be destroyed. The old killing Stan
lard Oil method will suffice for this
rnen it will extend itself. Every bank
n the country will become it's gillie
There will be no limit to its sway. Its
powers will find their last extension
N the frontiers of the possible. 1t
will loose and unloose credit. 1t Will
tx the piece of money and censor the
markets to the last item of value. 1t
will pick up the national debt and hold
he country between it's thumb and
niger. 1t will demand bonds and get
hem. or it will force payment for
hem. 1t will stand at the spigot of
oans. 1t will flow money on or OF
1t its selfish interest or caprice. All
,ther businesses will set like beggars
1t it's gates. 1t will be the Dives OF
.rades and commerce will become its
Lazarus. If it likes you, you may have
money: if it hates you, your ruin is
within it's reach. In short, controlling
as it will the tides of credit in their
,bb or flow, this bank trust will rule
he mart. An autocrat, it will respond
n nothing but itself. There will be
