There has never been a robbery i'm
posed upon the American people
in the shape of tariff Of any article,
from darning needle to a steel rail,
from 25-cent wool hat to d $500
shawl, that has not been imposed in
the name and for the benefit of the
laboring people alone. The idea
that the capitalist was to be bene.
fitted by tariff taxation was always
secuted as altogether untrue. Strange
to say, this impudent and unblush-
ing lie always found some believers
such is the credulity of mankind.
The same tactics are resorted to in
this discussion of the financial CUES.

A LIE FROM INVOCATION TO DOXOL.
OGf.
Knowing the popularity Of silver
money with the great masses of the
people, speakers tn this House and
the other sing the same praises OF
bimetallism, from the invocation to
the doxology of these services, coup
led with the solemn averment that
they are the best and truest friends
of that system to be found, and that
unconditional repeal is the only true
road to attain it. With all the grave
pledges of their party platforms,
State and national, staring them in
the face, as well as their own speech
es, promises, and votes in the recent
past, b | W i II G trumpet-tongued
against the deep damnation of the
taking-off of silver, they clamor all
the tiercer and all the louder that
the only way to save silver is to re-
peal the one law on our statute book
which gives it life.
INCONCEIvABLE CHARLATANRY.
We hear Democrats declare they
love silver money: bimetallism;
therefore they Stay il. They want
both metals; therefore they abolish
one. They want gold and silver
coined on terms of equality, accord
ing to their platform, and so they
stop coming silver in order the bet
ter to restore 1T.
CUT ITS THROAT AND TAKE A NEW
START.
Truly they must love silver
much, since they chastise it much.
We will suppose man is i'll and on
his bed-the kind physicians doc
toring IN vain-he slowly sinks, his
pulse is low and feeble. Finally a
b9lder physician comes in who prac-
tees on the HEROIC theory, and he
says to the others, 'You are all
wrong and wasting time in trying to
restore this man by nursing and
stimulating him; he will never get
up in that way in the world. Let
US try new plan; let us cut his
throat and take new start; we can
adopt other remedies for his restora-
ton to life after that"
