POOR BOND-DEALERS!

POOR B0ND-DEALERS
The following circular has been re-
ceived at the SIGNAL Office:
Office of Harvey Fisk & Sons, Dealers in
United States Bonds, No. "a Nassau
Street.
NEW YORK, June Both, 1888
Our country is threatened with one OF
the greatest disasters since the Civil War
Its institutions are shaken TO their very
foundations. The demon Distrust is
stalking about the land, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, leaving in his trail the count
less wrecks of the work OF thousands OF its
honorable citizens.
The standard of value by which the
money Of the poor man and the rich man
is measured, is being trodden in the dust.
Instead of twelve inches to the foot, we
are forced to accept six or litlle over.
The actual intrinsic value of our present
silver dollari is but SO cents, and growing
less each day. Still this great American
nation is obliged to calmly face inevitable
ruin-the sweeping away of far more
wealth than was involved in the greatwar
between the North and the South, sim
PLY because its Representatives are notcalled
together in accordance with the authority
vested in its Chief Executive, and forced
to remove from the Statute Books the law
which is eating away the vtals of Ameri-
can honesty, Of American credit, and cast
ing into great abyss century Of finan-
cial honor
Repeal the Silver Act OF 1890. Every
days delay means untold ruin and heart
rending distress. Our great United States
is fast becoming a financial outcast among
the nations Of the world. The people of
the United States are honest, yet our hon
esty is impugned.
We have made a mistake. We know
it, 1t is the will of the people that this
grave mistake shall be Immediately cor
rected. Leg the president convene Con-
gress at once and then let the people in ali
parts of the land rise up and with right
eous indignation demand that this law
be Immediately repealed.
This is "a government of the people, for
the people, and by the people" Let every
officer Of every financial institution, let
every merchant, let all business and pro-
fessional men, let every workingman, tele-
graph or write to the president Of these,
our beloved United States, and demand
that without another days delay he shall
exercise the right given him, and imme-
diately convene congress in extra session.
Let there be no doubt left that at last
every thinking man in this great country
demands the protection which 1.-THE hon
est dollar brings, Very truly,
HARVEY FISK 81 Sons.
The above gives the whole whine of
the gold bugs. OF course, Harvey,
tour country is threatened with one
of the greatest disasters since the
civil war;, and if the west doesn't get
its rights the disaster will come.
Didn't you read Governor Waite's
speech at Denver? What do you
mean, Harvey? You talk of money
being trodden in the dust and of ruin
and the sweeping away of wealth,
which applies fittingly TO the financial
crimes against silver; and then you
talk of repeal without a substitute
and Of financial outcast among ma
tons, which is the scare cry of the
money octopuses. Oh, yes, of course
let the people rise up and write, and
telegraph and beseech Cleveland to
tell congress to wipe silver out and
issue some bonds for Harvey Fisk &
Sons, bond dealers, to buy, Harvey
loves the people. See how he worries
because we are obliged to carry 3d.
cent dollars and how anxious he is to
take such dishonest" and vulgar
money away from US. 1t is damned
shame that with all their love for the
people they should be forced to accept
six inches for foot; we repeat, a
damned shame, and the people should
fail over themselves to give Harvey
Fisk q Sons better measure, say about
eighteen inches to the foot, and let
Harvey Fisk & Sons give us the six
inches to finish. For Christ's sake,
people, rise up and do something for
the relief of Harvey Fisk and Sons,
dealers in United States bondsl
