The advocate., 1892-01-06

pEoOlcbSN large war uSDbs Anhb pEe0lC-
tion was fulfilled to the letter; and the debt
was doubled because the money power in
sisted on exaCting a dollars worth of bonds
for each half dollar borrowed. The circu-
lar predicted a banking system founded on
the debt. The system came and still exists.
The circular predicted war on the green
back. That war, begun in 1862 by the cop
perheads, has been continued ever since by
the leading men and journals of both che
great political parties, with an energy only
eQualed by Satan in his warfare on the hui
man race.
As to the bankers circular, it itrequirPd
that pains be taken to enlist the great news
papers, especially the great religious and
agricultural journals, on the side Of the
banks and monied interests. That work
has been most fully, perfectly and satan
ically accomplished, as witness the great
metropolitan journals, religious, political
and agricultural. With no single important
exception they all stand by the laws enact
ed for the wOunding Of the greenbaCk; for
the contraction robbery scheme; for the
payment of gold coin on the currency
bonds; they all fight silver coin, and all
O'amor for the final retirement of the green
back. All the great journals Of Wall street
and the money centers attest the truth Of
the bankers circular. But Of course, true
to his record as a gold bug, Mr.. Ady will
never pay over his 500 in gold. Senator
Ingalls, says: "Gold makes no treaty il
does not breakp
Yes, if the truth Of the Hazard and
bankers circular will be taken as evidence
Of genuinensss, then Mr.. Ady's gold is fairly
won. But It will never be paid. Gold men
never do that way. They have more to say
apout the "repudiation Of contracts" than
any other men, and do more of it!
To prove the truth Of the last sentence
Of that statement, l beg leave to place
Mr.. Ingalls, on the stand once more. Mr..
Ingalls, says:
No people in a great emergency ever
found faithful ally in gold. II is the most
Cowardly and treacherous of all metals. u
has no friend il does not sooner or later be-.
tray. Armies and navies are not main,
tanned by gold. In times of panic an6s
calamity, shipwreok and disaster, il becon.-y-
the agent and minister of ruin. No nstloho
ever fought great war by the aid Of gold
On the contrary, in the crisis of the great
est peril, it becomes an enemy more pOten
than the foe in the field; but when tho battl
is won and peace has been secured, gold re-
appears and claims the fruits of victory.
In our own civil war il is doubtful il the
gold of New York and London did -
work us greater injury than the powder an
lead and iron of the rebels. It was th
most invincible enemy of the public credi
Gold paid no soldier or sailor. It refus
the national obligations. Il was WORTH
wher our fortunes were the lowest. u
defeat gave it increased value. II was
open alliance with our enemies the wo
over, and all its energies were evoked fC
our destruction. But as usual, when da
ger has been averted, and the victory
cured, gold swaggers to the front and
serts the supremacy speech in th
United States Senate. February 10, 1878.
In my opinion the Searchers after truth
should be satisfied to find It without un
necessary quibbling as to the particular
we'll from which 1t may be drawn. Truth
Is truth, whether uttered by Paul, Peter
John or Lincoln. Let US freeley use
giving credit In the best and fairest \
we can. But use II! And let quib
fight over the authenticity. Some
must have written the Lincoln pr
ton many years ago. 1t Is truthful
valuable. II Lincoln was not the al
then who was? That is a questio
