such demand for money by which to carry
on this volume of business that credit is the
only resort. And credit means usury bor-
rowing money to carry on business. Cash
cannot be had, and the great Goney trust
which has succeeded in reducing all to a
gold standard or unit. by which means it
holds the money of the world. as il were, in
its hand, compelling all business that Is
conducted to borrow oft and pay interest,
grinding usury, which reaches from the
top to the very bottom of the business and
industrial classes. This money conspiracy
steadily sucks the products Of industry from
the hands Of toll. drawing from every vein
and artery Of its victims, held in the grasp
Of usury as tightly as the devil-ish holds III
its tentacles its doomed victim.
When the war was ended and the great
debt of the nation secure beyond perad-
venture, the manipulators of the money
trust commented operations looking 10 the
destruction Of greenbacks and the payment
of The debt which had been created by the
exchange eff greenbacks-for bonds, in gold.
! This debt as we have seen, cost not more
than 60 or so cents in gold, but the scheme
was to double il in value by destroying the
money-ihe greenbacks (which had been
exchanged for it, and by the fine art OF
contracting the currency, for which purpose
the national banks had been provided,
prices of produce, which are the real liqui-
dators of debt, were reduced 80 10 so per
cent, solely by the art Of making money
scarce. The scheme to demonetize silver, as
we have shown in previous articles, was also
a part of the plan to double the value Of
the public debt and interest.
Forty four millions Of greenbacks had
been Withdrawn from circulation and were
lying in the Treasury ready for destruction
when the demonstration OF silver was
effected and the bill signed by President
Grant, who was wholly unconscious of the
tact. A bill was passed in April 1877
authorizing these greenbacks to be reissued
but the agents ofthe money rinh Piled the
President SO effectually with their sophistry
Of financial science, that be was induced to
veto the bill which his common sense con-
victions al FIRST prompted him 10 approve.
And here commenced the ruinous Io!icy
which has robbed the toiling millions Of
this country of thousands of millions to FL
the Unsuitable stomach Of the worlds money
devil fish. In future article we will en-
deavor to point out the remedy for this
gigantic robbery, which is being urged by
men whose ADVICE was discarded by General
Grant for the specious, deceptive reasoning
Of men whose whole life had been devoted
to the business Of robbing labor by the
science OF Lsury.

The Ways Of the Law.

A short time ago an exchange described

found that she was subject to having fits

being sufficiently regular the authorities

There is great deal of such ram

Eastern city papers, which are owned

be in the hands of the money gam;

There has been kept up hue and
cry by the stock gambling class
about silver miners and "silver
kings" specializing off OF the tax
payers, and the great wrong threat

coinage. The truth of the matter is
that the greatest Spectator in silver

Of robbing the owners of that much

Does this look like favoring "silver

looks more like robhing them of $26

a distinct set of laborers for night work would
settle the problem. Few farmers, however.

Mr.. Richard Croker, the Tammany boss, is
credited with n determination to make, if pos
sible. Gov. elect Flower the democratic candi-
date for President in 1892. 1t is even said that
Mr.. Flowers friends planned for such thing
last summer when they secured Mr.. Cleveland s
support for their man for the nomination to
the governorship. This is not unexpected
news Long ago it was foreseen that if Mr..
Flower could make his calling and election to
Albany sure he would refurbish his former am
bition to make sure his calling and election to
the White House. 1t is great thing to be
elected governor Of such q state as New York
by 50 900 majority. Few democrats have &C
complishsd the feat. and then they have done it
under very peculiar conditions. Mr.. Flower
boom is likely to collide with that of at least two
other distinguished New Workers, but this may
prove an advantage IL they do not combine
against him. The combination Of Messrs.
Cleveland and Hill is the combination of oil
and water. Hence the friends of Mr.. Flower
argue that he has fair field, some Of the best
Of the workers on his side, and encouraging
promise Of success.
