He has tried to break Wall street
a dozen times, and nearly broke
himself. Three months more and
the crash would have wiped out
the debt. -
Like ballast in the ship you
must keep the National debt
steady to avoid shipwreck.' A pi:
lot can run a thousand passengers
into eternity. So McC6lloch, by
specie payment, can steer our f.
nancial craft into the breakers.
McCulloch believes in the lancet.
the speculem, and blue pill kind of
finance, He bleeds to restore
strength. He purges to add sta,
bility. He vaccinates to head off
disease.
What wretched state we must
be in to have the whole question
of our financial future depend up
on two things-the state of McCul.
loch's stomach and a good crop.
Once our people had self-reliance:
Now the conversation Is on the
Secretary of the Treasury. He is
selling gold. Up goes the price.
He is contracting. Down go stocks.
He is negotiating a loan abroad.
He wants one hundred millions at
home. He is bearing the market,
No, he is a bull to-day in Wall
street. One man says Jay Cook is
his partner, that Lanier does his
foreign business, that Meyer his
brother-in-law, manages his gold.
Another, he is checking out depos-
its or is locking up greenbacks.
This is Wall street gossip. Never
before did man WELD such power,
1000 National banks, and when
they fail MIR. Spinner says he will
cash the bills.
We could watch old Biddle and
one National bank; but sixteen
hundred is too much tor US. / gave
statistics in my gold-room speech
showing that it was fair to pre-
sumo that most of our national
banks were rotten, and were only
organized for Presidential purposes,
Why, as the Herald says, should
we be taxed twenty millions a
year for this purposes Down,
then, with the National Banks, and
give us greenbacks. Every body
will vote for greenbacks. Every
man who owns a farm-a house
a ship-.-wants higher prices. Two
thirds of all our property is mort
gagged. Let US lift il off with green
backs. Buy property, and mort
gage it up to your throat. Then
buy more, and repeat again, and
the greenback-mania will remove
the mortgage and make you rich
again.
Remember that industry, COM
merce, agriculture, manufacture,
create property, and these can on!
ly come with greenbacks. Remem-
Der that no ships on the stocks,
produce no ship builders. No fact
cries going up require no laborers.'
What we in the pit ask for is high
wages, plenty of work and green
backs.
We want one currency without
interest. Now who can tell what
is our debt-hoy calculate how
many kinds of notes and times of
payment? Like the Gobelin Tap
estry of Paris-like the Mosaic
work of Rome-the mixing OF le-
gends, or the veins in the human
body, our debt is so confused, so
entangled, so obscure, that, unlike
these analogies, it has only been
created to be destroyed.
There can be no financial securi-
ty or commercial intercourse with.
out proper reconstruction, and that
day is not close at hand.
England is owned by 10000 fam
lies. The National debt did it,
Now, as we must be taxed $4,000,
100000 to pay off our National debt,
why not throw it all into the pool,
and show our loyalty by paying it
all off at onces AS Mellis, of the
World, says, our policy is to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Our bondholders will be princes.
The moneylenders will be divided
into nabob and nabobs.
As the debt was made, so let it
be paid-an eye for an eye-a
tooth for a tooth. :. England, Eu.
