Wall Street and ItsFrenzied Financiers

The yalue structure which you have been erecting by frauds andchicanery during the past twenty years totters and sways like a jugglers tent set upon the mountain top wIth every breeze truth Theresults of my two recent advertisements that contained only wisps offacts and my intention to publish a third one announced last Saturdayprove the instability of your card house

That you may not throw a frenzied fit because of this advertisement I hasten to say it is not intended to directly aect you or yourfraudbuilt prices or in any way to bring panic orjEsaster To proveto you my faith in its inefficacy in that direction I assure you that Iam today the holder of very large amounts of Amalgamated and otherstock which could be adversely affected in price by the truth canrtained in this announcement

When it became known Saturday last that I proposed to publishanother large advertisement stocks began to Weak badly but aheavy mysterious buying appeared and farther decline was avertedThis buying was mine I reasoned that the system and the Frenzied Financiers would brace themselves upon the appearance of my advertisement to discredit met and that stocks for at least an hour or soafter exchange opened would be made artificially strong

Watch out and see if my diagnosis was correct As I have no earthly use for the stocks I bought and would no more keep them on handfor any length of time than I dynamite or ether I will disposeof them some time this forenoon I say these things so that you mayknow that I am absolutely in earnest in stating that this advertisement is not intended to cause any such effect as was induced by my lasttwo ones

To the Investors of America and EuropeTwice during the past three weeks a deep sense o duty has corn

pelled me to speak to you through the advertising columns of thepapers You took what I said as I meant itI warned you that The System the Frenzied Financiers are

again getting ready inflated stocks to unload upon you By gross fraudsand low mean manipulation they are creating artificial prices at whichthey intend you to buy that they may again as in the past secure yoursavings to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars Take advantage of their industry and sell out on them before they are ready suchstocks as you have bought Give them these stocks at their own iiiflated prices and buy them if you buy at ally when they have declinedwhen the water has been squeezed out Reverse the usual process

The all county sold their stocks to the extent ofhundreds of millions of dollars I estimate that Wall Strfet during thepast thirty days has taken in from 500000000 to worth ofits own goods The System and the pools of speculators tried for aday OE two todiscredit my advice by buying to stay the decline buteven they with unlimitedfraudulenUygotten wealth could nottake care of the avalanche and there was a series of crashes Afterthe people got through selling Wall Street on hand the largestload of stock in its history Then the set its manufacturersof false statements and misrepresentations to work to fool the publicrinto returning again to the shearing pen with the savings they had somiraculously rescued The lie mill has worked overtime It hasspread broadcast that I was working in conjunction with the Systemin its robbery of the people that I was in league with the boar raidersand in reality was working only to secure profits for myself throughreckless speculation that I cared nothing for the people whom I wasadvising and warning

i Drand these statements as absolutely and unqualifiedly false Ihave no conection with the System with bear raiders stock speculators or any others directly or indirectly I care absolutely nothingfor the consequences of any advertisements of mine upon my personalaffairs other than as they further the great work I have undertaken alV though sane men should know I must fight those I am fighting as bestI may and with every missile the law allows Above all musttake care that I do not run out of dollars

The System has also adVertised broadcast that I had sold out tothe System that my story Frenzied Finance had been discontinued and that Everybodys Magazine had been bought by the System

While I have life I will continue my story until it is finishedI do not believe there is money enough on earth to induce my

publishers the proprietors of Everybodys Magazine to desert inethey have already been tested thoroughly tested but I will say not asany reflection on them but as a declaration of absolute intention thatif anything should happen to Everybodys Magazine I would at oncestart another and go on with my story There would beno serious interruption

On the if anything should happen they will goon with the know all the crimes of Amalgamated I know

January DisbursementsThere is to be disbursed to the people this month 138000000 lit

dividends arid interest The System has been active in every wayexperienced cunning can suggest in preparing and polishing the GoldBricks of finance for the people when they come in to Wall Street toreinvest this vast amount No device has been neglected The oldstock Is In new boxes The green goods have been freshly garnishedThe spiders parlor has beer swept and dusted for the coming of thefly

The people owe it to themselves not to reinvest a dollar of thismoney orwhat they have just taken in from the sale of their stocksin stocks or in any bonds of less safety than Government or first classcity or state or other absolutely unassailable bonds until they havewitnessed the result of a few inevitable happenings

My mail from every nook and corner of America and many othersources of reliable information tell me the are aroused to theperil of Frenzied Finance as they have never before been awakenedin the history of bur country They are prepared to dousual things I deem it my duty to call upon them to do

t usual things at the moment the doing of theseythings will be most effective for their interests am going to call upon them to dothem

When I call upon them there will be produced in the stock marketa terrible condition of affairs because certain stocks will decline sorapidly and so much that there will be a terrible panic unless thepeople are prepared for it

The object of this advertisement to warn the public of what Iscoming This is its only object I want to impress in the most earnest and manner upon the people that they should be ready forstartling events which will take place One stock alone in which anenormous amount Is invested will I believe decline between theing of the Stock Exchange one day and its opening the next moredollars pet share than any one stock has ever dropped before in a single day tarring Northern Pacific at least 30 to 30 per share andthe cause oflis decline will bring about a tremendous drop in all otherstocks unless they have previously fallen

The situation today in the United States is that the people are getting very nervous Therefore I repeat The people owe it to them

T selves not o invest any more of their savings in the stocks which theFrenzied Financiers are offering them until they can see a littlefurther ahead In the meantime I that they put their

and interest they receive In January into their local but letthem first ascertain beyond all possibility of mistake that their localbanks have no connection with the System qjr the banks it controls

RumorsNo attention should be paid to the vicious stories that are put

afloat front time to time with intent to confuse the public For Instance the story has been spread throughout financial centers that I wasto ask for a receiver for Amalgamated the very day and hour beingThe object of such rumor is patent that the Frenzied Financiersmay intercept my move or that they may point out that I am not keeping faith The people may rest assured no move of mine will be knownuntil I make it known and I will make no moves but fair and honestonesand that when I make them I will reach the bullseye each shotnot that my shots are any better than others but that I will never fireuntil dead sure that I can score

My Flarket OperationThe people may rest assured I am conducting no market operations

but are necessary to further my work to offset the nnprinclof the Frenzied Financiers

Amalgamated CopperThe Frenzied Financiers who created and who control Amalga

mated Qppper were obliged to purchase enormous quantities of this40 to 50 per cent more than they have told me it was worthAlt any cost they must unload it upon the people before it declines

again as it did before to 33 or less Every device known to stock jugglers is being invoked to give the stock an appearance of stability butthe game wont work again The people will have no more ofscheme through which they have been so ruthlessly andplundered The next move will probably be the declaration of a dividend at the old rate of 6 per cent and 2 per cent the lawIs called upon to intervene I do not believe even though I do nothing that it will ever again be possible for the Frenzied Financiers towork off this stock on the public but with what I stand ready to do atany moment it becomes necessary to act to protect the people it willcertainly be impossible
