(3) They have begun appointing "gold standard Democrats to olfice, especially in the South, as if they were Republicans in full standing. Every one who has studied American politics will see at a glance that the plutocracy is forced to this course by the logic of its existence. It intends to vote half a billion from the treasury to pay the expenses of its next national campaign. It will do this partly on war contracts," but chiefly by issuing national bank notes as presents to its favored campaign contributors to whom it has already issued bonds. This done, it will play for a foothold in the South, and will use the "gold standard Democrats' to control the negro vote. Immediately after the war, the international plutocracy, having its chief American agency in New York city, invaded the South and using, now the bayonet, and now the newly enfranchised blacks, indulged in a hideous orgle of such bond deals an are now being prepared at Washington. When you study a plutocrat at close range, you see that he is insane that his "financial sense Is merely the unscrupulous, irresponsible cunning of the lunatic. Nothing could be sadder, nothing more dreadful, than the spectacle of some millionaire undergoing the reaction of his own habits. Sleepless, with shattered nerves, his body bloating, his eyelids twitching, his voice, at the least excitement, rising to the keen and tones of insanity such a man is borne hither and thither by every gust of passion, keeping his identity only as a result of his master passion for money. This makes him hard, cruel, willing to risk or to take thousands of lives in the interest of his "investments and the investments of his rlass. Writhing in the tortures of an agonizing hell he has created for himself, he loses all sense of pity for others, and he is no more able to spare the helpless than he!s to feel the need of Justice for himself. world-renown- ed high-pitch- blood-thirst- ed y, Behind the who crowded the South after the wnr were these international usurers, dealers in bonds and bayonets. They were met, however, with forces they had never met before. Men who had unbuckled their swords to a Grant still scorned thraldom to Rothschild. The South broke from their control, drove out the Wall street governments, carpet-baand repudiated without hesitation the fraudulent bonds they had issued. carpet-bagge- rs g. Then began the desperate struggle which seemed to close, but did not, when Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin and Nebraska broke away from plutocratic leadership. Wall street, as the agent for foreign money lords, held the race question like a whip over the South for two decades. Every Impulse toward the old Democracy, every promise of reasserting the old rights of Americans to free government, was met with a throat, open or tacit, to give the control of the South to the negroes, and to establish "negro equality. white-drape- fresh-draw- This is now the situation. The plutocrats think that by using the opportunities given them by the Spanish war, they will not only get all the bonds they want, but will get control of half a dozen states to support them in their plan of making notes of private corporations the currency of the country, instead of coin and greenbacks. The refusal of the administration to recognize the Cuban republic is undoubtedly an Incident of London financiering as it alfects our politics. From the beginning it has been the set purpose of the International synd4cate of disciples of John Law to force a bond deal, with war or without It. They do not care particularly for blood If they can get bonds without it, but bonds they will have though blood flows to their l.ridlo reins. They keep South America in continual turmoil pulling down one government and setting up another. Their methods were well illustrated by the orders sent from New York for revolution in Nicaragua when the Walker government offended one of their New York allies. They intend now to make Cuba the basis of a bond deal, and if it is necessary In doing this to put down Gomez and annex the islands, they will pick a quarrel with him and use the United States army against him if possible. Haring got their bonds, they will go on with their plans for using them to hold 70,000,000 Americans in a subjection they cannot escape while foreign hondbrokers can organize local corporations and Issue American currency. It Is reasonably safe to say that It Bryan had been president and Byran men in power, there would not now be a Spaniard on the island of Cuba, and the Maine outrage would have been avenged within a week of its happening. That is one thing that may he said of the man from the West and the men from the West and South who are behind him. Brauns Iconoclast.

Louisville Dispatch. The double purpose of the foreign plutocracy and its Wall street agents in the Cuban war la to Becure more bonds In the first place, and. In the Becond, to use the war to so change Issues at home that these bonds can be made available as a means of substituting corporation notes for currency issued by government, whether gold, silver or paper. While we are throwing up our hats and hurrahing for naval victories over Spain, Lord Rothschild (who never throws up his hat, and seldom hurrahs over his victories) is calculating how many hundred millions he and his associates can take from our earnings every year, under a system of corporation currency issued In America by the agents of the men in London who control the bonds on which it 1b based. To carry out this plan of campaign, he will use every banker who can be bought with the promise of a share of the plunder, every merchant who can be coerced by the threats of bankers to cut off his credit and ruin him, every politician who can be intimidated, cajoled or bribed. They have begun operations in the South. They are working not less diligently in Missouri. Through the Pacific railroads, the mill trust and the elevator combination. they will endeavor to check the progress of Democracy In the Northwest and to change the Issues. And all of it will mean more bonds and more of Lord Rothschilds notes endorsed by the United States, and loaned cut by him at interest on our national credit as if they were cash and actually his own money. In order to raise money for the prosecution of the war the administration proposes to issue $300,000,000 In bonds. This would mean millions in profit for the bondholders and the saddling of another great Interest bearing debt upon the producing classes. The money power is behind this scheme. It would be another lever in the hands of Wall street and the Rothschilds; enabling them to draw still tighter the Bcrews which bind the shackles upon the masses; giving the Shylocks another lease of life and power and enabling them to dictate still further our coinage policy and direct our legislation generally.

Plmnlx Gazette. lllp for lit u Poor Knllrti d . A carload of Republican literature maining two months of the fiscal year, is almost equal to the entire pay for a whole year of the combined volunteer and regular army. This in Itself Is a highly suspicious and fishy circumstance. Deeper Inquiry reveals the reason therefor, and, along with that, the foulness of the affair. No sooner was war declared, and the army and volunteers called out, when a scampering of railroad agents took place. They wended their way to Washington, there they beset the war department, and a system of wirepulling was instituted. For what? For the choice of the points of rendezvous for the volunteer and other forces. The Importance of these points of rendezvous was a city accessible only by one railway line, that the line would have the monopoly of transportation and could bleed the treasury all the more. Each company pulled the wires In Its own favor, and got the In office whom it coul. control to throw the weight of their office on its side. A few instances of this Competition throw much light upon the whole affair, and not a little upon the sources of the patriotism that la trying to make the country Insane. One Instance Is this: The Baltimore & Ohio railroad and the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad are two lines running through West Virginia. Each tried to secure a point of rendezvous in that state situated on its own line exclusively. The B. ft O. "lnflooence secured from the secretary of war the choice of Martinsburg, accessible only by that line. Thereupon the C. ft O. got its lnflooence to play on the governor of West Virginia, and he appointed as the rendezvous Charleston, accessible only by the C. ft O. The result was a deadlock, under which these capitalist patriots, who brought it on, and their political lackeys, who carried out their wishes, were perfectly willing to let the country run the risk of finding its soldiers unmobillzable. Another Instance, of direct plunder. Is this: A Michigan railroad had agreed to transport troops from Detroit to Norfolk for $7; another company thereupon quickly "contracted" for the same work at over $12 and this company got the contract. Frank Thompson, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, the property of the Rothschilds, secured from the secretary of war the job of superintending the transportation generally. With this goes the function of contracting, with whom? with himself, for the benefit of British capitalists. Is there any wonder that this war has thrown our upper capitalist class into paroxysms of patriotism? Is it any wonder that Chauncey M. Depew goes about making patriotic speeches, and, seeing that the Vanderbilt railroad system is a part estate of the Duchess of Marlborough, that he waves the British flag together with tho American as allies in this war? Is It any wonder that all these patriots seek to intimidate the people with the charge of being unpatriotic If they ask where they come In? Is there any wonder that their political lackeys jam such bills through as "urgent? Ths expense Is to be met by the Isbonds and by sue of Interest-bearin- g high taxes upon the necessities of the poor. The Incomes of the plutocrats and the franchises of the monopolists are not to be taxed. And all .of the patronage and boodle thus made available will be thrown Into the balance to help in fastening the gold standard and the rule of monopoly upon this sountry. stock-holde- rs has gone to Kansas under Hannas This will not only do its work frank.
