Why Sherman was the leader of the

THE organs Of the gold gamblers lied
so openly and boldly about the single gold
standard and the silver bill and the fraud
by which the demonetization of silver was
accomplished, that nobody can believe
them now when they assert what they
call ''facts" about the national banks and
the evils that arise from the system. A
newspaper that is caught thus boldly "
ing is set down to be precisely like "A law
yer who takes thief's case, or a scoun-
drel's case, or a scheming Williams c;lse,
who is designedly intent upon getting
your property, or the property Of orphan
children; in these cases the lawyer lies
for his client SO boldly, or evades the
truth SO nicely as to deceive even the
judge on the bench if he can; and all for
share OF the property they gain, or "A
big fee out of the money for which it is
sold. And this is the reason why the
great men who formed this government
never put much confidence in LAWYERS.
and rarely trusted them with congress

thing and lawyer is another No CON
gress was ever so corrupt as the congresses

SHERIFF SALEs.-Those whose uro-
