SUPREME. USDILurED Gall.

we have received circular from
the Office of Harvey Fisk & Sons.
dealers 10 U. s. bonds, N. Y. We
are very thankful for the favor. This
circular is the most transparent effort
70 blind the people of this country
1nat mas probably ever been issued.
We publish the circular to show
what tricks Of false reasoning are
resorted to for the purpose of further
bamboozllng" the people. These
leeches, not satisfied with doubling
their credits by reducing the curren-
cy, and robbing every man who is a
producer, are now determined to car
ry their diabolica! scheme to the ut-
most limit. "The demon Distrust
is stalking abroad in the land - sure
enough, and along side of this Demon
totters the gaunt figure of hunger
and starvation, and on the other side
walks black Despair, and the trio are
carrying coffin holding dead Hope.
That is picture illustrating a con-
ditlon that actually exists. Contrac-
ton of the currency through demon
etization has brought about this con-
dition. Thirteen billions of dollars
have been added to public debts
alone, and billions to private debts,
in the United States, by the schemes
OF such men as Harvey Fisk & Sons.
The national debt of three billions
!. has been paid twice over and still a
billion and half remains as load
on the back Of now half starved in
dustry. 1t requires double the labor
, to produce dollar that it did before
decentralization, therefore the dollar
paid on the principal is equivalent to
two dollars, for the bonds were issued
| before contraction was brought about,
and we're to be paid in coin-gold or
silver. Not only the principal, but
the interest, was doubled. Industry
pays this debt, and idleness receives
double its due, while the load of the
!, producers is doubled. Not only is
/, this true of public debts of all kinds,
but also of individual debts. Be-
! sides these unjust burdens, the pro-
q ducers of the white metal have been
/, ruined and those dependent on the
S working of the silver mines for en-
ployment are tramps from necessity.
> This is not all. Silver being a CON-
b modify, England fixes its price, and
the price of silver fixes the price OF
wheat and cotton and all other pro.
ducts of the soil, and this " fixes
q the farmer. He is brought down tc
a the verge of starvation, and all he
It can expect to accumulate is mort
l. cages he can never hope to pay un
# der present conditions. The interes
% saps his life blood. Now Harve,
ia Fisk k-this son of a. gun and his sons
10 who are rather numerous in the East
|e embracing holders of government o
m other bonds, mortgages and all othe
\. evidences of debt, are not satisfied
I, with the billions out of which the.
g. have robbed the producers, but wit
~ supreme and unmitigated gall de
70 mand more unearned spoils. Is
NJ possible for them to carry the rob
J.. berry further? That is, have they nc
i. drawn the last drop Of blood, to use
ne 6gurative expression, that it is poss
10 hle to draw? If they have got al
70 what more can they get? 1t seem
b. thew have an idea there is still llttl
70 left. or that there is a possibility
a the production of a little more, an
20 their unsuitable greed knows n
Oh bounds, and they are determined
.rs have all, not only of the present, b'
ho Of the future. After this they wi
7, demand that the bodies of the peop
ha he turned over to them, as were tt
bs bodies of negro slaves, to be owne
nd and used as are cattle and horse
II. To stop all coinage OF silver vi
bring about that condition, or 1t WI
ne bring about another condition whi'
in turn will bring about sudden e
, examination of the Unsuitable olo(
snckers. One or the other Will
~ inevitable. Will people starve in
:. land of plenty, or will they rise up
49, solid body aud begin the bloo'
- work of extermination of their o
:. pressors? That is the leading que
lion. and it will be well for Harv
~ Fisk & Sons and all other sons OF
r famy to stop and ponder ere 1T
nd :. too everlasting late. 1t is tr
ION . our country is threatened with o
- rho greatest disasters since
