Shin Plasrers Come Again.

The grandest financial system ever DEVISED
the United States national banking sys-
tem-ends in shin plasters What ride
ulous mockery is this national banking
system of ours, invented by London Jews
and wet nursed by the republican party for
80 years 1t eliminates in panic which
has cost the country thousands of millions Of
dollars, with banks issuing Due Bills, and
large business firms paying their employees
in what forty years ago everybody called
shinplasters. The new name is Certified
checks"
A few weeks ago every wbipper snapper
who read little in the daily papers was
talking grandly in his party eloqnence and
declaring there was plenty of money in the
country, everybody could get money who
had anything to sell. The banks IN New
York were loaning money at 5 per cent and
money was plenty as it ever was. In fact so
plenty that it was drug. And taking up
ex.Secretary OF the Treasury Charles Fosters
lying reports, these whipper.snappers would
declare there was more money per capita in
circulation than ever before. A few months
have passed since then and what do we see.
This same lying Secretary Of the Treasury
helping to rob the depositors of his own
bank, by drawing out for his own use
$l35, 200 Of the depositors' money, and the
| other officers in the same bunco firm loaning
to themselves $4,000 of their confding
depositors' money. And in New York city
an association of banks making and loaning
35 900, 900 of shinplaster money which they
call Clearing House Certificates, followed
by large firms paying their employees in the
same kind of money made by themselves,
while the retail dealers, grocers, butchers,
etc., lie in wait to shave this shinplaster
money and fleece the wage earners.
| This shinplaster money is spreading oyer
| the country, while the same thieving gang
is working by every foul means they can
bring to bear to totally demonetize silver.
The government with 1000 car loads of
silver in its possession, and the President,
his Cabinet and the leaders Of the two old
parties in Congress, complacently looking
on this conspiracy ofthe gold ring develop
ing and trampling the law under their feet
in filling the country with an issue Of shin
plasters. 1t is astonishing what old party
slaves will submit TO, and even try to defend.
And this is the legacy thirty years. reign
of the republican party leaves US as it
gradually fades out of existence, and the
ripe fruit of the national bank system, the
financial wisdom of which was to eclipse
nything the world ever saw, is falling
around US, while tens of thousands of idle
men and women face W inter which threat
ems to bring famine upon them. Famine
too in the midst of plenty
And these are the horrors Of the corpora
ton government 80 years of repub lican
party rule, aided and abetted by 80 years of
democratic party loaded down with bigotry
and hate, devils cast out of the dead body of
slavery, have brought upon the people.

The Silver Scare Already Made
Ridiculous by the Course
of Business.

Gold has now for a fortnight been pour.
ing back into this country from England in
twice the volume at which it was recently
going out. Great Britain is already in as
big panic over the outflow as our wise
fnanciers were over the export from this
side little while ago, and according to the
British press "distrust" and "lack of con.
fidence" are making the same havoc in
business oyer there which they have been
responsible for with US.
Will some of our sapient editors who have
led the howl about the terrible effects of the
Sherman bill please explain the situation !?
If the silver purchase clause of the Sher-
man bill caused the export of gold, what is
il that is bringing it back twice as fast as il
ever went out, with Sherman bill still on
the statute books and likely to remain there,
unless something more sivery takes its
place? Has England got Sherman law
too that is driving the gold away from
that country? If the "distrust" and slack
of confidence" which are causing so much
trouble here are the results of the fear of
silver, how shall we account for The distrust
and lack of confidence of which the British
papers are so bitterly complaining, seeing
that in Great Britain gold mono. metalism
reigns?
OF all fool cries that ever sampeded
presumably rational men, this howl about
the disastrous influence of the She: man
silver purchase bill has been atout the most
idiotic, and the course of business within
six weeks will have proven this to the salts
faction of all honest persons who do not
already see the point.
The simple cynical truth Of the matter is
that our business crisis, arising from far
different and far deeper causes, has been
taken advantage of by certain Potent CAPT
talsiic interests for wholly selfish ends, 10
force the country upon gold standard
basis. These capitalislic interests have been
able to make tool of the administration
and fools of great many people who ought
to have known better. That is The whole
story.-Neg Nation.

The Daily Rot.

"Whal men expect from the repeal
of the silver purchase clause OF the
Sherman act is the restoration OF
confidence in the business world in
regard to the stability and soundness
of the country's monetary system"
The above paragraph is clipped
from the Philadelphia Rec0rd, it is
the same in substance that may be
clipped from any of the dailies every
day in the week. How many OF the
rushing busy readers stop to consider
the blank foolishness it conveys?
The "world" does not care if our
money was hickory chips or peanut
hulls. What has the people of the
world outside of our own nation to
do with it? They trade goods with
our people. If there is balance
coming to them when the trade is
made they take something that has
ready sale in their own country.
They prefer gold or silver because
they are kind of merchandise al
ways salable and of comparatively
small bulk easy TO transport. They
don't care if the metal is in coin or
blocks. 1t is all the same to them
When the public catch on to this in,
tolerable rot of the daily papers
about the worlds" concern for the
soundness of our finance these papers
will become common laughing
stock.

Digging for Capt. Kidd's Money.

The Elkton papers tell contra
dictory story about the nocturnal ad =
ventures OF treasure hunters near
that town which occurred recently.
The place where the hole was found
is q mile or two below town at q
noted spot known as Cedar Point,
and in the yard OF an old stone resi-
dence, or where the house once
stood. A hole was discovered, so
one story runs, that had lately been
dug 10 feet deep, tree roots had been
sawed off to get at the treasure chest.
and the dirt returned to the hole,
which was about three feet in diam
eter and eight or ten feet deep. A
hole of SO small diameter can't easily
be dug that depth. SO that part OF
the story may be considered stetted
The old house was said to be haunt
ed. Kidd always left a ghost to
guard his buried treasure, which may
account for nobody ever finding
any of it.
These Cedar Point hunters must
have landed a cart load of gold and
other treasure at least. According
to another veracious story teller the
hole was about five feet deep and
six feet in diameter which is bet
ter size for two diggers. The men
who threw out the gravel stood back
to back. Several saws were ruined
in saving roots among the stones
but the job was complete and the
print of the iron box-a large one
was plainly visible in the bottom of
of the hole. This hole it is evident
wasn't filled in. This reads better.
Burglars always leave their tools and
diggers for buried treasure never
think of filing up the hole. There
are other interesting details which
might be given but this ought to
satisfy any ordinary ghost story
reader. One point more might be
mentioned. These treasure exhum-
ers, like the pirate buriers, came and
went by water, leaving no trace to
follow them by.

The old republican dailies while
supporting Cleveland are making
dismal efforts to extract capital out
of the close up of the factories. If
the Mckinley bill hadn't been put in
jeopardy by Mr.. Cleveland's election
they say the closing of factories
would not have taken place, and the
factory employees are reproached for
voting for Cleveland and causing
their own trouble. The position this
kind of reasoning forces them into is
becoming so apparent that all except
the purblind partisan for whom there
is no hope, are looking for more
plausible reasons. Not only manu-
facturers are suffering but people in
every other line of business. The
public know only two we'll that any
amount of Mckinley tariff could not
have avoided this rich mans panic.
The people havn't money to pay for
the goods and they must remain un-
sold and the mills stop. This was
sure to take place with any man of
any party in the Presidential chair
till the money famine is raised by
pacing more real money in circula-
ton to take the place of bank credit.
The people are learning these facts
and these big Doodle organs, the city
dailies, will not be able to divest the
public mind from the money question
with their old tariff fake.

which parties will be compelled to
divide, and the party that attempts
to place itself in front of that issue
and displace it will be run over and
crushed.
The above vote shows the coming
together of the two old parties, or
that element in them OF the gold
