THE GOLD STANDARD
Unconditional Repeal Of the Sherman
Law Demanded.

the United States of Gold.
The following letter addressed to
E. Reinhart & Co., wholesale and re-
tail merchants of this place, explains
itself and the methods which Wall
street, the European bankers and
Grover Cleveland are using to estab-
lish the gold standard in America and
reduce the American people to an
infamous system of peonage and
financial slavery. If the New York
spectators in the miseries of the
people wish to be relieved from the
financial disaster which is now para
lying that English financial prov
ince, and which was precipitated on
the country by themselves and their
foreign allies to scare congress into
repeating the Sherman law, let them
like the honest men of all countries
earn their living by the sweat of their
faces and quit purloining the products
OF the labor of the millions. Then it
will not be to their interest to con-
tract the money of the world as it
now is, and they will have no further
occasion to precipitate crisis they
cant control and thus avoid the
boomerang they hurl at the people
from descending upon their own
heads. The H. B. Clafin company
urges the issue of e. S. bonds, speci-
fically payable in gold, in order to
deplete the foreign banks of their
$3.50 .000,0 OF gold and have the
same placed in the U. S. treasury.
The $3.50, 900 900 may just as well re-
main where it is as to be piled up in
the vaults at Washington. What the
people need and the business of the
country demands is more money cir
culating among the people. Instead
of issuing more interest bearing bonds
to sell to foreign banks for the $780,
600, 900, of gold and thus extend the
time in which these banks may con-
tinue TO draw gold from this country
and thus give the shylocks further
opportunity to precipitate financial
crisis to induce another issue of bonds
and so on ad infnitum, let the $780,
000, 900 of silver coin and bullion now
in the treasury and the 100000 900
of gold reserve be paid out and get
into the business channels OF trade
and the hands OF the people, and let
our minis be open to the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver and gold.
Let the United States run its own
financial boat independently of "the
Bank of England, the Bank OF France,
the Bank pf Germany, the Bank of
Austria Hungary, the Bank OF the
Netherlands, the Bank of Belgium
and the Bank of Spain" or the house
of the II. B. Claflin company, and if
the house last aforesaid don't like the
independent policy let it
move, bag and baggage, to one of these
above named, which have
such an ideal financial system. We
can spare it and thousand other
such goldbug houses, which are
curse to this nation of American
patriots. We can assure the H. B.
Clafiin company that "the ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain"
can't win in the present contest.
Below is the electioneering document
to which we refer:
New York, July IL, 1898.
Il. REINHART & Co., Winnemucca,
Sirs: New York has
passed through the acute stage of
one of the most intense tinan-
cial strains OF its history, and the
depression of business
which this city is now experiencing
will doubtless spread over the entire
country if confidence in the future be
not speedily restored.
Whatever may be the correct state
ment OF the relation Of the silver pur-
chases of the government to the pres
emf trouble, it is evident that the
