Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Watson´s Jeffersonian Magazine, Vol. 2: January, 1908 Did you ever hear of Mister Morgan, - John Pierpont Morgan? He is the Wall Street banker, you know. He not only owns a big bank in New York, but likewise a big bank in London. He owns magnificent town houses and country seats, both in Europe and America. I shouldn´t wonder if you could find in the vaults of the Morgan banking syndicate a mortgage on every nation of Europe. You would be almost certain to find a mortgage on Turkey, Greece and Egypt. You would also find a mortgage on the United States of America. How did Mister Morgan get this mortgage on his native land? The facts are these: Morgan. - "Mister Morgan," as our Federal Supreme Court deferentially calls him, is a Republican in his politics, and he was one of the mighty men who brought about the election of Benjamin Harrison to the Presidency. Having helped Harrison to the Presidency, Mr. Morgan naturally thought that Mr. Harrison should help the Morgan syndicate in the carrying out of certain plans which it had made. In short, Mister Morgan wanted bonds. He and August Belmont and the Rothschilds were determined to have another issue of bonds. They called the Secretary of the Treasury, Charles Foster, over to New York, wined him, dined him, showed him glittering visions, perhaps, and converted him to the necessity of an immediate issue of bonds. There had been no war; there was no danger of war; there wasn´t a cloud upon the horizon. Profound peace prevailed. What, reason, then, was there for an issue of bonds? The President could see none. Harrison was not the biggest man who was ever sent to the White House, but he was honest, stubborn and independent. When he found out what Foster was about to do, he put his foot down hard, and forbade the issue of the bonds. Foster had gone so far as to prepare the plates on which the bonds were to be printed. Balked in their efforts to control Harrison, what did the bond-seekers do? They knifed Harrison in the next campaign, threw the victory to Grover Cleveland, and got the bonds.
