@protestation@freeradical.zone This is a fictitious quote based on a hoax letter written by a T.W. (Thomas Westlake) Gilruth (1843-1921), as Populist Party propaganda in 1892. It's had considerable legs.

It was widely denounced at the time by other Populists:

In an editorial note last week calling attention of editors of reform to the so-called Wall street circular fake first published in the Chicago Daily Press, we wrote that "the thing originated in the fertile brain of T. W. Gilruth, who held a position for a time on the editorial staff of the Press." The compositor transformed the name into Gilmore. We desire to make this correction lest there be somebody named Gilmore who might object to the charge, and because the fraud should be placed where it belongs. Gilruth is a snide, and if anyone who knows him has not yet found it out, he is liable to do so to his sorrow.

-- The advocate and Topeka tribune. (Topeka, Kan.), 14 Sept. 1892.

Amongst others. See http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82015080/1892-07-06/ed-1/seq-1/ http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/33446989/ From the former:

We have read this dispatch with some care, and we must say that all the internal, as well as external, evidence indicates that it is a fake. We have no doubt that it truly sets forth the plans and sentiments of the plutocracy; in fact it sets them forth too plainly and systematically to be written by anyone but a reformer.

I'd encountered the "Bankers Manifesto" hoax myself a few years ago and investigated it. Remove it from your quotes archive if you care at all about reliability.
