DEBS BEHIND THE BARS.
When progress made 'the glorious de-
claration
That gave to freedom this expanding
nation,
Who could have dreamed of such a
degradation
As Debs behind the bars?
Yes, Eugene Debs, the poor man's
friend and true,
Deprived of jury, every freeman's due,
In spite of law, is quickly hurried to
A place behind the bars.
If "Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko
fell"
What tides of grief upon the breeze
should swell,
What mournful tolling of the solemn
bell,
With Debs behind the bars!
While rockets soar, while cannons
boom on every hand,
To spread the lie that this is freedom's
land;
In mourning robes, behold fair free-
dom stand,
With Debs behind the bars.
The while, the man lives in mortal
dread,
Lest he should lose his chance to earn
his bread,
If openly a tear he dare to shed
For Debs behind the bars.
And so upon the nation's natal day,
'Neath Haunting ilags he moves in
grand array,
And in the tumult e'en forgets to pray
For Debs behind the bars.
March on, poor fools; ye coward,
truckling slaves:
March on, at beck of haughty gold-
bought knaves,
March on, and, stumbling into pauper
graves,
Leave Debs behind the bars!
—Knights of Labor Journal.
The Old Game Over.
The people must not be surprised at
the present manipulations of the
Rothschilds' combination to increase
the value of money. It is but one
more act in line of their well fixed
precedents. At the close of the Na
poleonic wars, Avhich had lasted for
over twenty years, England had ere
ated an immense national debt
amounting to somewhere about $400,
000,000. Much of these obligations
had been bought by Baron Rothschild
and his friends. At the close of the
battle of Waterloo couriers, who were
already in waiting to send the news
to London with the greatest rapidity
then possible, were mounted upon the
fleetest horses, relays being estab-
lished along the line, and the Roths
child courier reached London more
than twenty-four hours in advance of
the regular couriers of the govern-
ment. The Rothschild couriers were
instructed with the true state of
things to the agents of the house in
London. These agents spread the
news that Napoleon had been victori-
ous and that the Prussians and the
English had been defeated, which had
the tendency to depress English bonds
to a very low ebb, when other agents
of this same combination bought up
everything that could be found until
they owned nearly all of this bonded
indebtedness. The next day the gov
ernment courier arrived with the true
information that Napoleon had been
defeated. English securities imme-
diately advanced more than 100 per
cent from what they were the day
hgfore, but they were in the posses-
sion of this great money combination.
Now, to make this money more valua-
ble was their next object, which was
accomplished in 1816 by demonetizing
silver and legally declaring that these
bonds were payable in gold alone,
which had the direct result of enhanc-
ing them again to more than half of
their value.
At the close of the war of the re-
bellion the government of the United
States issued and had issued before a
great many bonds, of which the
Rothschild combination were very
large purchasers. These bonds were
payable either in coin or any lawful
money,owing to the issue of the bonds
and according to the conditions under
which they were sold. Coin meant
gold or silver, as it had always meant
in this country, the debtor to take
his choice in which to pay. Now, the
old scheme comes up how to make
these bonds more valuable. They had
been purchased at a rate of about 42
cents on the dollar, gold being the
measure of the purchase. The same
scheme which was adopted at the
close of the Napoleonic war was again
adopted by this same house for the
enhancement of these bonds which
they had purchased. History tells
how effectively they carried out this
determination. Mr. Sherman went to
Europe in 1867. He presented a bill
in congress for the demonetization of
silver in 1868, which owing to the ad-
verse criticism of Senator Morgan of
Alabama, was defeated and deferred.
The final act in the great drama was
consummated by omitting the silver
dollar in the codification of the mint
laws in 1873. Thus the Rothschilds
had converted a 42-cent dollar into a
100-cent dollar payable in gold, both
interest and principal. The robbery
which pauperized the common people
of England was in another form fas-
tened upon the common people of the
United States. What has caused the
destruction of the common people of
England will, with certainty, destroy
the producing classes of America. It
is not hard to understand the motive
for this action. The motive was to
make money. To buy the bonds cheap
under depressed circumstances, then
b}r political manipulation have the
lawmakers come in and enhance their
value. The people of the United
States have it in their power to con-
fine the payment of these bonds and
this interest and indebtedness to the
money of the contract, which was
coin or lawful money, but the powers
that be are so controlled by influences
which are hidden from the public eye
that they stand by the Rothschilds'
combination and will not permit any-
thing to be paid to them except gold.
The demonetization of silver in this
country added fully 100 per cent to
the purchasing power of gold, as it
had previously in England at the
close of the Napoleonic wars. This
Rothschild combination could well
afford to pay fifty or a hundred mill-
ion of dollars to obtain the conces-
sions that this country has accorded
to them. The truth is that congress
and the government powers have been
so filled with corruption and are now
that unless the people of the United
States—the common people—take
this matter into their own hand abso-
lutely, and do not submit to being
controlled in the slightest degree by
the corrupt leaders who stand by this
most infamous of all robberies, the
are lost, and no power on God Al
mighty's earth can save them.—Silver
Knight.
