The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1893-08-12

The Presidential mountain has labor
ed, and brought forth not silver, but
a gold mouse. Only few short
months ago tariff reform was the
panacea for all the ills OF the American
people, and the American voters rallied
| 10 the cry, and elected the representa-.
tives OF tariff reform by an overwhelm'
ing majority. And now, what is the
spectacle OF the leader OF the tariff
| reform party, after a short stay al
| Buzzards Bay. with the usurers, skin
| ners and gamblers of Wall street. The
| President in message to an extra SEES
sion of Congress. thinks that IL is only
| very small matter for "Robber Bar
| rons to have their hands to the elbow
In the pockets Of labor" but as the
| ltothschilds, through the bank OF Eng
land has spoken against silver. he now
| considers the evils all lie in the use OF
| silver, and Tariff Reform" is only an
after consideration. Why such Q

| matter with the silver? Where Is the
farmer. merchant, mechanic or Ia
borer who has too much silver? The

not get enough OF IL. / have at this

The trouble Is not with the silver.

What could have tefogged the eyes
OF this champion of tariff reform? Ill
surely must have been the song of the
siren from the vaults OF the bankers
and gamblers and usurers OF Wall

and bankers OF Wall street. When we
marched, shouted and voted for Cleye-
land and tariff reform last fall we were
assured by Buyard. Gray and myself,
and even brought the ''Tnmmany
Tigers heie. that In case of the cleo
ton of Cleveland, we would have the
hand of the usurer taken off our

Then give us the FREQ coinage of

pla and pay them in produce and

ard then Cleveland can go fishing, as
1t will not require him and Carlisle

The talk about the money of the
