hear Cary talk, Que would suppose that
old Nero Of Rome or bloody Mary OF
England ruled the United States in
stead OF men elected by the people, Of
their own free choice. amenable as SER
wants.
SAMPLE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
We cannot show up all Cary's mis-
representations. IL would require ten
sheets the size Of the Republican. But
the statement he made, that the chang
ing OF the payment Of the 520 bonds
from currency to coin Ca lie to begin
withD had cost the people $500. .0O0, 900
by adding that sum TO the principal OF
the debt, deserves refutation. All these
bonds 80 far redeemed have been put
into bonds at lower interest, without
increasing the total amount one cent.
II they had all been paid of in green
backs at the close Of five years. in yio-
lqtion Of the contract, the difference
would not have amounted 10 over
Sl25, 600, 900, and for what now remains
10 will not amount 10 81, ,000, 900, as the
difference between paper and is only !
OF per cent. Why raise such murder
ous howl over 80 small a margin, un-
less reputation of the debt is intend
ed?
THE GROWING LIF
of all the swarms from Cary's lips is
the impudent story that silver was de-
mOnetized in 1873 by the intringues OF
gold bugs. Congressmen and the
President, says Cary, were in entire ig-
norance Of what was done.
The Congressional Record shows
that the bill for demonetiZing the sill
yer dollar was nearly three years be-
fore congress; that the measure was re-
peatedly urged 10y the secretary OF the
treasury; that il received five different
considerations and favorable reports by
the finance and coinage committees;
that il was repeatedly read in both
houses, printed in full with the amend
ments l. different times; the debates
| on it filed IA columns OF the Con-
gressional Globe; and no measure affec-
| ting the currency was more thoroughly
and exhaustively discussed on both
sides. Mr.. Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
then had charge of the bill, and his
hypocricy in attacking il last winter
was neatly exposed by Mr.. Garfield
The measure then passed, substituted
the lower-priced metal, gold, for the
higher. priced metal, silver; and re-
versal in the value of the two did not
take place until 1874. IL was con-
against the rich, and Cary knows this
very well, but will keep on repeating
the lie, for the want Of truth in sup
port OF his crack Drained theories.
CARY AS 4 COMMUNIST.
He is so diabolically sophistical that
single passages, toaching the doctrine
| Of communism, are some what hard to
find; but we have culled a few from
his undisputed speeches, and they
teach the propriety Of pulling down
the industrious to prop up the lazy
and wasteful. Cary lays himself out
to gain applause from the men who do
! the least work, and this of itself shows
F.. his rnling idea. He repeats in every
/ speech that "as soon as We (the IRE
| deemables) can get all the bankrupts
| and tramps into our party, we will be
! in the majority" This is "A direct ap-
peal 10 the people who have no prop
erty 10 seize on the government, in
hopes they may get some money with
out work.
Ia his speech before the socill sci
/ ence association at Cincinnati, in May
last, Cary sneered at "soup-houses,
dealing out ladlefuls of thin comfort, 4"
aud declared that for his part, 'if be
were in the poor mans place, sooner
/ than accept such relief, he would meet
the capitalist on the highway and de-
mand Of him share OF his surplusr'-
/ Cary was rehuked on the spot and
WINGED before his indignant hearers
The Cincinnati papers OF the next day
spoke OF him a Cary the highway
maR.
At Jackson. Aug :, he is reported 10y
the Patriot To have said that "the
sooner tho carcasses of the rich and
their children are in the hands Of the
undertaken. the sexton and the devil,
the better for the country"
An irredeemable paper has printed
some portions OF Cary's speech, and
among them we end the following pas
sage: =" There is an over production
Of workingmen, you say ! should
| thiuk II that was the case God would
| give the rich people more children, SO
| that there would be less laborers to
\ suffer. Rich men have few children,
aud God regulates that matter because
/ he knows what he waists. lac knows the
children of the rich are generally rails
! cd without the habits Of industry, that
/ they become drones in human society,
/ aud that IN nine cases out of ten the
sooner their worthless carcases are
handed over 60 the undertaken, the sex
ton, aud the devil, the better the world
will be. "
If this does not teach hatred Of the
nch, and especially of their children,
whom he calls "drones' (what is Cary
but n "drone," running his jaw one
quarter of the working hours of each
day for S33, while the laborer has to
toll a whole day for 81 then there is
no meaning in Language. III God regu-
lates the matter. he does right in al
| lowing the children Of tho rich TO live;
and whoever disputes this right, or
sentences them prematurely to death,
| deserves TO be called a communist Of
the worst kind. Cary's teachings in
| this instance would clearly show that
the children Of the rich have no bust
ness on earth excepting to share their
property with those less fortunate.
In tins city, speaking os the obiec-
/ tion that unless the government pays
its bonds in accordance with the way
they were understood to be payable, ii
cannot get any money when another
war breaks out, and thus will have to
go down, Cary said: ANY govern
ment which takes poor man by the
collar and puts him in the army, has a
| right TO take the rich mans money and
bny hard tack and blankets for the
soldiers.
This is rank communism. based upon
gross falsehood. The government
drafts its soldiers from among all the
able-bodied men, whether rich orpoor
Nobody who can carry n musket is ex-
empt from the summons, aud when
they go into the army, they are paid
alike; II wounded. they are cared for
alike; IL disabled, they are pensioned
alike; and il killed, their widows, or
phans, or other relatives receive their
pensions alike. On the other hand,
the government is forbidden by the
constitution 10 take any private proper

owner, and il would be the vilest out
rage aud the worst oppression TO seize
any loyal mans property to carry on
war with, and allow him no compensa-
tion. No government could stand for
a month on such a basis as this, and
Cary knows it. Whenever the proper
