The Herald on the .saSOnds''-men
who CIamOr for Gold.

ne IeEatO On une ssnbOuOS
who ClamOr for Gold.
The Ne,o York Herald, in its edition of
the morning of the election, opened its
broadside of rifle cannon on the bonded
aristocracy of that city, with terrible effect.
The bonded interest, clamorous for gold,
as was the famed JOHN Hook of Revolu-
tionary infamy, for his "beer," entered the
contest, but signal was their failure. The
majority of near 10000 in that goodly
Democratic city, gave them a foretaste of
the feeling of a people IMPOVERISHED by
unjust taxation to pay the golden interest
on bonds which, in the hour of the sorest
travail to the nation, they bought for thir-
ty-five to forty cents on the dollar. A few
of the Herald's shots at high taxation and
bonds, claimed to be payable in gold, are
given below:
HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.-EnOrmous
| taxation and the heaping of undue burdens
upon the industry of the people have csas-
| ed most of the great revolutions of the
world. The history of foreign nations, as
we'll as the lessons of the American revo-
luton, teach us this lesson. The enormous
| taxation imposed upon the people of the
United States by modern Rcpublicanism,
| to support a number of wealthy national
| banks, to enrich shoddy contractors and to
enable thieves to prey upon the revenues
of the country, lies at the foundation of the
great political revolution that will sweep
over New York to-day.
| BLOOD AGAINST GoLD-Durng the war
five hundred thousand good and brave citi-
zens shed their blood to preserve the gov
ernment and to give prosperity and happi-
ness to the nation.
Since the war one hundred and fifty
thousand bondholders, including the ma
tional banks, the shoddy contractors and
the foreign capitalists, are drawing the
blood of the country and crying out "goldl
gold gold !" while the nation is struggling
against bankruptcy.
| These leeches have drawn interest in
gold. upon which they have realized heavy
premiums, while they bought many of our
bonds at forty cents on the dollar in the
hour of the nations adversity. They have
been paid over and over again, even if they
should give up the principal of the debt
altogether.
The families of the five hundred thou
sand men who laid down their lives for
their country are many of them without a
dollar, while the one hundred and fifty
thousand bondholders, who never laid
down anything that they could not take
up again with two hundred per cent. in
CereSC, are rolling III wealth. anu Stlil Cfy
ing out for their gold gold ! gold!'
THE TWIN RELICS OF REPUBLIcANIsM.-
The twin relics of barbarism," which Re-
publicanism pledged itself to eradicate,
were Slavery and Polygamy. The twin
relics of modern Republicanism, which the
people of New York are going to sweep
away to-day, are Tyranny and Taxation
PAYING HIM OFF.-The voters of New
York will pay Chase Oft to-day, not in
gold, but in paper currency.
| HIT AT LAsT.-The Radical boudholders
shoddy men and bankers kept clear o
showers of bullets during the war. To-t
day they will be brought down by show
er of ballots.
| A NATIONAL CURRENCY.-The govern
ment can give us all the currency we want
Every body is willing to take greenbacks
issued by the United States Treasury
Why should lot of National Banks, that
are constantly breaking and victimizing
their depostors. be authorized to force
their own circulation upon US and make
us pay them thirty million dollars year
bonus for the privilege of keeping their
own paper af1oat?
THE LAST SERvIcEs.-Ohio killed Chase
and his National Bank swindle. Pennsyl-
vania furnished him coffin; California
dug his grave. New York to-day will
cover him up beyond resurrection! Peace
| to his ashes!
