signed JAS Buell."
The next step was to get rid
of the greenbacks and treasury
notes. Senator Sherman In
speaking upon the gu, stion to
Withdraw the treasury notes
from circulation said, alt il not
possible to take this voyage
without the sorest distress to
every person except a banker, a
salaried officer or annuitant. It
will e period Of loss, danger,
lassitude of trade, fall Of wages,
suspension of enterprise, bank
ruptcy and disaster. It means
ruin of business men, fall of
agricultural productions with
out any relief from taxes. The
debtor will be compelled to pay
in coin debts contracted In cur
rencv, The coin will be locked
up in tina United States treasury
and national bar ks and the
debtor will be to get it and pay
the bankers price for it; his
property shrunk in value 50
that it will not sell for enough
to pay the mortgage upon it by
the artificial scarcity of money
made by the hoarders of gold.
Such legislation is an example
of folly without a parallel in
evil in the history Of the world.
Then he must have joined the
ring because bo wrote the bill
and promoteditspassage through
the congress Of the United
States and voted for it.
And the plan of British shy
locks was then successfully car
ried out SO far as legislation
was concerned. The mill was
ready to turn out milIjonaires
and paupers which it has been
doing for nearly twenty seven
years. From Maine to Cali
fornia. from the Gulf of Mexico
to the British possessions, the
march of the vandal money con-
traction with high rates of in
terest and low prices for labor
products has desolated the land
(which our fore fathers gave us
as a heriage. Senator John
Sherman has been the leader in
aiding the money power to bring
about all this desolation and
ruin. For years his every breath
has been for Wall street and
the money power.
He is always ready and will
ing to do Shylo ;k's bidding. BE
is the author Of the nost dan
gerous class laws ever enacted
by Congress. He is without
doubt the greatest financial
traitor the world ever saw
