Bonds To Loot And Rapine
Bonds are being issued in New York by revolutionaries to finance a revolution in the United States. The department of justice today announced that it had received evidence to this effect.
Quantities of the bonds and the presses upon which they were printed have been seized.
Such is the wire news today. It ought to be vastly entertaining to the good people of this country who have labored all their lives to acquire a competency and a little savings so that they may have enough to eat in their old age and provide their children an education and a start in life.
These jelly-fisted revolutionaries who are too lazy to shave and wash are printing bonds to finance a revolution in this country. You know of course what those bonds mean and what they will do to your little savings.
They will simply be authorizations to loot and rapine. They will make present law and order look like thirty cents. The country will of course be flooded with them. The revolutionaries will only have to help themselves - not only to your property, your banks and your stores - but your wives and daughters.
Things are coming to a pretty pass in the good old U. S. And there are people who scout these things and make light of them.
