JOHN M'CUE on SILVER.
How the People Of the West are
Robbed Every Year.
SAN Francisco, June 2.

gold rings crippled your industry
have a very friendly feeling fol
many of your citizens and great
deal of sympathy for many of them
that are so ignorant as not to under
stand their own interests better than
they seem to.
Nevada has wealth enough to run
the Government, if she had an oppor-
tunity to place her products where
they belong Nevada has always
been loyal to New York, New En-
gland and Pennsylvania by advocat-
ing tariff on the products of their
States. All these States that | have
mentioned are under the control of
the gold ring. New York is the cen-
ter of the money manipulators of the
United States, and through the in
fuence of the bond holders have
used the power of Congress, PRESS
dent Cleveland and President Har
rison to such an extent in the manip>
ulation of money, that they have
almost destroyed the industries of
your State as well as everything else
in the United States, except the
bond holder or man interested III
the running of National Banks. ]
do not blame the bond holder nor do
| blame the bankers III making the
ignorant people of the United States
believe that 4l29 grains of silver is
not dollar Probably if | was a
large bond holder or had a National
bank, | would stand as firmly as they
do to rob The industries of other peo-
PIE: but promised a long time ago
that would oppose all steals was
not in with, and as | consider the
denomination of silver one Of the
biggest steals that ever was rerpe-
trated upon the people If the United
States, and not being IN with it, but
being in with the people who are
by it, ask 10 file my OBJ
is tinn through the columns Of your
paper
On the 9th day of March, 1869, a |
bill was passed through both houses
and signed by President Grant on
the 18th day Of March, making ST
700, O62, 0OO Of bonds that were pay
able in lawful money (paper) princi
pie in coin, payable in con, instead
Of the orie;nsl contract; it was then !
;alie | the Strengthening Act. If it
had been called the act Of the robbers
roost the people could probably have
it better. as 1t made a
Inference of about S672, 10000
IL favor Of bond holders and against
lie people.
The interested part lies were afraid
hat it was too strong, so they had
mother act passed i'll July, 1870 |
making the bonds interchangeable
md payable in the standard dollar
# July, 1870 which was 4l2I grains
# silver or 25.8 grains of gold At
he passing of this bill there were no
ears in the minds of the manipula-
ors as there was over $50, 000,0 600 of
old produced and less than 500
90, 600 of silver in 1870. The silver
ad never been questioned from the
ay of its adoption, 1887, until 1876
hen the increase of silver and the
ecrease of gold, showed the hooked
osed gentlemen who controlled the
nance of the world, that there was
ertainly going to be greater de- /
land for gold bullion than there
iould be for silver They conse> t
uently, through clever act arran>
ed by Senator Sherman of Ohio, ]
topped the coinage Of silver; and | ,
ant 10 say here that stopping the {
oinage of silver has no effect upon ,
S value 50 long as the President Of ,
he United States and his cabinet
iuuud HIM refuse to pay either In 5
rest or principle on bonds in the +
.audard dollar OF 412l grains {
What difference would it make how
lany thousand millions # dollars
iere was in silver if they piled it up
| the treasury, if they paid the in i
,rest and principle Of the United $
tates and the expense OF running t
lie Government III gold alone. I
IF Cleveland's and Harriscn's adj a
were honest, they 5
ould have paid the pensions, the a
terest on the public debt and the |
,nenses of the Government in silver b
