specie basis god. They should destroy all
national banks Of issue as unconstitutional
and fraud, and cut off the political heads
of our John Shermans.
In Kansas, the Topeka Capital, the
Parsons Sun, and the Mcpherson Re
publican have ever been the most hearty
supporters Of John Sherman and of An
drew Carnegie, the last named paper
having the following:
'The A B G of Money" by Andrew Car
negie, in the June number of the North
American Review, will command, as it de-
serves, the careful study of people of all
classes and business pursuits. II is written
in the Clearest style and cannot fail to be
helpful to all who wish to arrive at correct
understanding Of the subject under Consid
Grafton.
All of these advocates of an organized
plutocracy are as oxen knowing their
masters crib, and they may be expected
to promptly and cheerfully obey the
word of command. Hence, they will
talk even Of our present silver dollar as
"a 74-cent dollar"

false and malicious pamphlet, entitled
''Seven Financial Conspiracies," is being
circulated among farmers of Fayette and
adjoining counties, by certain parties who
know them to be full of misstatements and
misrepresentation. The persons who are
circulating these pamphlets pass them
around among the farmers and before they
give one away make the person to whom it
is given agree to read it. The pamphlet
contains ninety-six pages, and is claimed to
be the production of Mrs. s. E. V. Emery,
and printed at Lansing, Mich.
The work, or rather the fraud, is aimed to
do harm to Hon. John Sherman, against
whose financial policy and record it is
aimed. Il purports to give review of the
principal financial measures which Mr..
Sherman has champloned during his career
in Congress and as secretary of the treasury.
Persons into whose hands these pamphlets
come should at once stamp them as lot
of Democratic and mugwump lies.
Hearing Of the circulation of the pamphlet
among the farmers, the editors of the Cy-
clone addressed letter to Senator Sherman
and sent him one of the pamphlets. In re-
ply Senator Sherman has this general state
ment TO make as to the contents of the
pamphlet:
