Bgpiying to the above, we will say that the sole object and purpoee t the rention of the finance committee wa to tstabllah tin gold standard und fatten the naii. mal luniks more firmly on the backs of the people. We are now living tinder a government by and for the

Rothachiidl, Tiny are bankers nnd lenders of certifieatoB nf debt called money, to order that they might hud a Larger volume .f these debt certifi cates and event ually -ontrol the World' finances and thereliy go rem all the people of the world, it was ncres-ary to limit the volume and annual output of basic money, real money, money that gepreaent no debt but is free and gtanda on Ita own bottom. Accordingly, by Intrigue, bribery, deceit, theft nnd Booh otlu-r crookedness and tCOUBrSreUsm us theae people are familiar with, they secured the demonetization of the money that is most beoefioial to tin people -namely, tllver becantt th:s was the nHUiev that the people dug out of the etirth free and anhampered, in larger volume than any other kind, nnd had it stamped in denomination best suited to their convenience in carry Inff on their daily transactions. With this monej of the people la f all and free circulation and being added to by each yenr'n product of the mines, it tsrould have been impossible for tin Rothschilds ami their International gang ef financial cutthroati to corner the nioney market and force the people to bofTOW and pay inter est on rotten shinplaster certificates of debt, it is easy to corner gold, because it is the rich man's money and does not go nt among the people; but tllver is free and easy in its way. and lovca to mingle with the "common herd" in dimes, quarter, halves nnd dollars. Hence it was Ml! tBarj to prct rid Of tllver in order that Ihe hanks might flourish, nnd B-aeordlngly the gold standard came into cxittence. For the porpoae f mil further favoring the rich nt the expense of the pi or, and placing the latter more firmly under the heels of tbe Rothachlldt and their International cutthroats, at aforesaid, it waa esaential to eatablllb and sustain the national hanks. Now these national banlca are founded on public debts, which nrc owned by the lankers themselves ; and hr this becuspoeua of extra financial CTOOkcdneil they are enabled to lend their money to the goveniment, which is the people, nnd nlso the people inilivtdually, s that the people pay the banker! double interest ami the bankers still have their money to lend out to somebody else or lock it up in their vanlta, as they prefer, it is the most beautiful sy-tem of stupendous public and private robbery that was cer invented worthy of the intricate nnd BChemittg brain Of Rothachild. And the worst of it all is. that the people being Boverelgna are the only authority that can create money; consotj iiently the money that they borrow from the bankers nnd pay double interest on is the eery tame money thai they create nnd stand good for. All this would lead one to conclude that the people must be natural born unthinkers; and in iinwer to thi anppoaltloa we mual fraoklv coo fee that tome of tbetn are.

President McKinley' expun. ion pulley is . aid to favor the permanent holding of the Pbiippinea und their government bjl three American conunisnonets, to supplant the military government when the Aguiiiahlo rebellion shall have been crushed. it g rap oi ted from Washington that the president will urge (hi policy upon congress, und use all the influence at his command to bring about its adoption. In view of bis recent sArOttf declarations in fuvor of eotabllahing American supremacy in the Philippine there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of this latest outlining of his plans. Whether the people of the I'nited states will support the president In t hiradicsl departure from wcll-grniiiided AmeriCBB principles la the greatest isnie of foreign policy presented since those which ted to t lie war of 1812, It is upon adherence to the Monroe doctrine that the United Btstea government logically bases its claim to supremacy in this hemisphere keeping hands off the old world ami requiring the powers of the old world to keep hands off the new. The people of this cosntry recognise the fact that the problem of the permanent ! i ipo i t ion ol the Phililpploea is seriously perplexing and that it fie mandl I be most earnest deliberation before conclusive action is taken. They hope, however, that the settlement of the problem may rest on a consistently American basis. Thev know that from

the moment the United states takes formal and final pOBBCSSiOS of the Philippines a new epoch begins for this country, and they are tpprehcnslve as to the developments of that cpoob lis bearing upon American principle and institutions and the welfare of the country. It must be acknowledged by unprejudiced thinkers that there is a menace attaching to permanent American sovereignty in the fai ea-t. It necessarily means the maintaining of a big army nnd the inevitable fostering of a spirit of militarists. It nullifies the Monroe doctrine and opens the way for further Colonial acquisition beyond the limits of the wt stern hemisphere. It vastly increases the chances of war with the

great powers of l'.uropeand renders Im perathe a constant state of preparedness for such war-. it clinnes eotfr pletclv the attitude in which this government has stood before the world throughout all its previous history. If WB are to remain a üb rty-loving and libcrtyfOlterittg republic, legitimately supremo in onr-hnlf of Ihe world's territory, will it be stria to take the risks inseparable from the permanent holding of the Philippines? Is it right to do so? Is it safe fur American Institutions? Will it not be better to at least make an effort tow ard giving the Filipinos a chance to demonstrate their capacity for self-gov ern tnent V The people of the United States are not part i-nn in contemplating this problem. They nre looking at it through American eyes. It will be well for the president to consider their attitude before surrendering American principles to the rapacity of land-Lrrabbing syndicates, whose Americanism is limited to a worship of the eagle on the face of the American dollar.

With tiu ir utuai disregard of truth the republican politicians are eluiiuiug that the business prosperity of the United States is owing to the election of McKinley. Doubtless the business prosperity of the European nations is also owing to t he election of McKinley.
