The National Organ editor is taking all
the credit OF resumption for the fat party.
He says all money is fat that. gold in bars
money in the country where it is issued |;
that without the fat mark of the govern
ment gold would only sell for its intrinsic
value. The versatile defender of ire
deemahle money. however, very carefully
omits to tell his readers what would be the
intrinsic value of greenback without the
fat. He further neglects to inform his
blinded followers that it was Democratic
congress that passed the silver bill; that it
was Democratic congress that insisted
on a demonstration of silver; that had it
not been for Democratic congress, the
country to-day would have been unable to
resume specie payments. All these points
in favor of Democracy are entirely ignor-
ed. He has no intention of placing facts
before the people, when Misrepresentation
will answer. Anything to beat the Demo-
cratic party is the motto of the National
leader.
