Carlisle Yesterday and TO-DAY.

Dishonesty is now the Highway to Honors
Intending to write up the banquet address OF
John g. Carlisle he betrayed his country and be-
lied himself twenty dollar banquet plates we came
across the Kentucky Yeoman." It is journal pub
shed in his state, and therefore resign our ed
tora and borrow native born to the tratorous
Secretary OF the Treasury]
The last hope Of the silver wing OF the Democratic
party has been dashed to pieces.
John G. Carlisle, the Democratic Secretary Of the
Treasury has delivered the last remnant of their faith
over to the gold-bugs Of New England.
Last Tuesday night the combined capital of New
England metat Delmonicos elegant restaurant swigged
their champagne and plotted against the people Of this
Republic.
Cut glass jingled the tables cold gold ngled in
the pockets Of the banquetters
Toast after toast was responded to in manner Pc
cuary agreeable to the combined capital OF New Eng
land.
John G. Carlisle was thereof He was there
to pledge this financial system despised
by majority of it's citizens
Yes to pledge this government to financial system
despsed dreaded abhorred by the who have fought
it's battles and maintained it's dignity, honor and cred
it.
Mr.. Carlisle answered the toast" Commerce de-
mands and the honor of the country requires that the
obligations of the United States shall be paid in coin
current any market of the world and that question
shall be settled for all time and beyond any contro
versy." re
He answered that toast as the bankers had before
hand dictated.
He did not answer it from the standpoint of eight
million farmers, whose prospects about to be ire
trievaby ruined by the blight Of the single gold stand
ard.
He did not answer it from the view OF the millions Of
lily paid unemployed aborers who being starved
into anarchiem all over the Republic
No: he tTaitorousy turned his back upon the produ-
cling and laborng classes Of this country and answered
that toast and pledged this government to Shylock
from the narrow contracted and bgoted view of the
greedy cormorants of combined capital.
We will give few pointed extracts from his recent
speech before the bankers; and will also give few
extracts from another speech delivered by the distin
gushed gentleman when he representing the people
of Kentucky in Congress in 1873.
Compare these two speeches, and draw your own
conclusions.
Either Mr. Carlisle wrong in 1873 or he is wrong
now. Or he speaking for the people at one
timeand for the Jew bankers at another
) The following extracts from Mr.. Carlises recent
speech:
balances are settled in god which s the same thing
This is great and powerful government, but there
The country has recently heard q great deal about
bimetallsm and double standard. have
been able to understand what is meant by oua
ble standard, or double measure of value and have
never found anyone who could tell To my mind it
absurd to contend that there should be two
different standards Of values as it would be
to insist upon having two yard sticks Of different
lengths or two gallons OF different dimensions.
Gentlemen, the question whether the obligations Of
the United States will be paid in coin current il the mar
kets OF the world has already been settled and in my
opinion, It has been settled for all time to come
It e not possible under existing circumstances for
any government to establish and maintain stable re-
laton between the two METALS and for this alone
there we're no others, bound place some rea
sonabe limitations upon the coinage and use Of silver
We cannot alone maintain it's (~ilver) unlimited

ot the other great nations Of the eaRth.
