lance, and the aSSallAntS fed. Some Of
the boys and girls we're badly beaten"
This brief statement gives one OF the
moSt brutal OutrngeS Of modern times.
Boys and girls we're badly beaten
for WhSt7 Simply because they we're
try ing, In compliance with an honest
contract, to earn their bread. The hard
times arc thus cruelty aggravated b.
the lawless acts Of inhuman brules.
The Northern papers will have q para.
graph or Two about this affair, and that
will be the end. Only o few poor
white trash TOO young and weak 10 de.
fend themselves were "badly beaten"
No rich bond.holder is moved Of the
beating the poor girls sustained. When
their coupons are due they will walk
up to Uncle Sans Office and draw their
shining, yellow gold. The great jour-
uals subsidized by them, advise them
every day to prOtes: against receiving
silver or legal tender notes. II lie true
legal tenders will pay every other debt,
but they claim Inat they should
not be paid 10 them. The poor
girls and boys beaten half TO
death for trying 10 earn enough ell
yer, or legal tender, or nickels, to keep
body and soul together, will occupy
but q moment's attention from these
people who are 90 weighed down with
concentrated honesty that they are
afraid the struggling bOnd.hOldOrs may
by some cruel method or other be COM
PEELED 10 receive their interest In mon
ey that common laboriDg people are 90
thankful to gel. They shudder at the
cold. blooded intention Of Congress to
offer silver aud legal tenders TO the
downtrodden bOnd.holderS Of New
England and Europe, who PURCHASED
their bonds away below par, receiving
money in payment that has been made
twice as valuable by the accursed con-
traction Of the currency, aud The
swindling silver demonstration
scheme. All the b%ond.holders and
their organs clAsp their bonds TO thcll
