Chill and the Rothschilds.

Chili, one of our South American sisters, seems to have an executive cast in much the same mold as was our owh fleshy occupant of the White House. A loan of two million pounds was recently advanced to that government by the Rothschilds at a rate of six per cent, while a German syndicate stood ready to advance four million pounds at four per cent. That same Rothschilds is the patron saint of our own Wall street and national administration. He is the power behind the Morgan syndicate, whose business it is to merely “press the button, and Cleveland does the rest.” By the way, why are the nations all borrowing money ? Have they all got greenbacks to drain their gold? Of course not, This borrowing business is one of the essential features of the gold standard. The gold standard countries are either borrowing or lending—the creditor nations, the hoarding nations, are lending, the debtor nations, the industrial, producing nations, are borrowing. The result is inevit-able-foreclosure and absorption. The United States, powerful as it is, belongs to the debtor class, and must be a part of the general wreck unless saved by a change of policy.—Progressive Parmer.
