,,,o snecnlators, and shavers. and gam
,aers have cornered' every sort OF mer'
charitable article, and all sorts of stocks ana
bonds, and now essay TO "corner tue
,eople. Every sort of strategy ana apph'
ance is resorted 10 for the purpose OF accom-
plishing this great feat. Money hows 'feei!'
and great orators are sent abroad oy the
syndicate of spectators and gamblers "
preach honest money and pubic virtue W
neople who through the frauds and dIssimu-
1at;on of the syndicate have lost millions ana
suffered distresses indescrioaole. GENERA.
Grant proposes to help the "corheIins
nrocess-i. e., he will let down the bars to
wolves that they may get to the sheep p'aceo
under his protection.
The yirtuous syndicate are doing more Tor
this corseripg" job than they ever did Tor
the good OF the country or for that oil hu-
manity. How the great orators travel and
talk BY the hour to the wronged people.
They are missionaries from the headquarters
of vice, and they endeayor to prove to the
people that they plead for honesty Itself
Their logic goes to show that 1t is the peo'
pile, and not the bears, and oul's, ana
money grad.grinds, who are dshoues'.
The bulls and bears are the &iudest and
Sentlcst Of creatures, who would not irJure
hair Of the heads of the dear people, WHO
although wropg-like FALSAEF in his gene
rosity to Dame QUIcKLy-they heartily for
give.
These artful people and their artiui mrs
sionaries! Why, scHURz felt called upon 70
saw that be received nothing for his services
in behalf OF "bard money" II was quite
natural that he should feel that it was neces'
sary TO disayow what everybody would sss-
pect him of doing. Nor was it very unrea-
sonable that sCHURz should be so suspected,
since it Is charged that he has been In the
habit Of getting compensation for his party
speeches.
But it is a matter Of no importance about
ScHURz. He Is but one of the emissaries.
Money goes with them, and keeps them up
to the work of helping to "corner" the
people.
Now, why is all this? Can the postpone
ment of resumption for a time ruin the coun-
try? Can the nation suffer 10 the interim
between now and resumption, supplied
as they are with the best currency the
country ever was blessed with! Don't eve
rybody look forward to resumption: Are
not all for q paper currency redeemaole IN
gold? Exactly; but the grad-grinds have a
"job," and they are dying to carry 1t out.
They want to "corner" the people.
The nation wants time to recover from the
commercial and industrial depression which
now exists by reason Of the contraction Tor
a premature resumption: a treble contrac-
tion-by Government, the banks, aud the
people. All this is enhancing the value OF
the money Of spectators and gamblers by
comparison with the other property Of the
country, which gradually sinks in the scale.
The delay asked for by the people can do
no harm but the hurried resumption urged
by the grad-grinds will involve the people il
embarrassment" corner" them-and the
opportunities for specializing and skinnine
will be rapidly multiplied. The storm vii
be powerful, and the wreckers will have
harvest.
Let the people beware lest they be "cor
