AID inasmuch as the banks and the people

for tie Government totake, il seems TO cut all COM
muncation with them, or in the words of MIR. Van
Buren's Message, TO separate the fiscal concerns
of the Government from those ofndiViduals cor
porahons," 10 set up FOR the Government, an "In-
dependent Treasury" to be filled with an "Inde-
pendent Currency" and to leave corporations
aad individuals to shift for themselves"
Such was the scheme of relief. when Mr.. Van
Buren, and his adherents proposed at the time Of
the stoppage of 1897, and, it is the same plan
Of relief TO which they still adhere, and which sim
ply amounts, according TO the most favorable
view We can take of it, TO doing just nothing at all,
but which, according to wiser and just view of
it, aims at a total overthrow of the Banking sys>
tenn of the country.
Now here is plain case, which man may read
while he runs, too plain a case TO be misunder-
stood. The existing Administration, in its at
tempt TO turn the treasury OF the nation into ma
chine for political intrigue, has involved the 6nan>
ces, the currency, the trade of the county in ut
ter confusion. Il has deprived US of good na-
tional currency which we had. 1t has corrupted
and debased the greater part Of our local curren-
cies. |; has forgotten, and now disowns, all the
promises il has made, bat is still pressing
vigorously as ever, towards its original aim, which
it now proposes to accomplish by means OF what
IL calls an "Independent Treasury" that isto say
a Treasury which requires all debts 10 be paid IN
gold and silver, and which deposits that gold and
silver for safe Keeping in the hands of parcel of
desperate political brawleTs, without character
property, such men your Prices, your Swart-
wouts, your Jnbal HeTrngtons, and all that sort of
Sub TTeasurers.
Will the People suffer themselves to be any
longer guled and deceived by such a faithless,
such worthless Administration Will the people
trust their affairs any longer in hauds inefficient
and incapable as they have proved to be fale and
lahessl Can there be any hope for a solid and
substantial cure for the evils under which We are
now laboring, until we shall put at the head of our
national affairs, more honest and trustworthy me1l9
Do the people wish by the reelection of Martin
Van Buren,, to proract for FIVE years longer, THOSE
