Az we are now In the height OF q
panic and people are desirous OF
knowing the cause. and tho political
physiciane are attrlbutlDg 1t to various
causes, each to advance the interest OF
his political party, will you allow
me to give the true cause. and allow
your many readers to judge for them
selves. The Republicans are attribut-
ing 1t to the fear OF Tariff Reform,
while Democrats are attrlbutinR 1t to
the sherman Silver BILL" but neither
one Ii correct, as think / can show.
We all know that 1t Is the voriest oil
nonsense. to have mep outin the West
one thousand feet under ground, min
Ing silver. while we have at the same
time mon In Washington finding II
forty feet under ground there.
As for the true cause, l will now
quote from Mr.. Eckles, Comptroller
OF the Currency, who says; Il am
aware that no legal reason exists fol
such a course, but having drawn sc
much wealth and power to themselves
through the generous dealings OF the
government with them. the bankers
OF this country can Ill afford to place
themselves In an attitude OF looking
with Indifference upon anxiety OF the
the financial integrity OF the govern
is threatened." Hear that, now, will
vel And from Cleveland's body guard,
too. Have the masses got senst
enough TO understand that the gov
eminent has been helping, the banks
to rob them, when 1t Is Is given out In
cold, plain statements?
II the banks have drawn to them
selves so much wealth and power, then
the people have been robbed OF that
much wealth and power. 1t is blunt.
brutal admission. Even this govern.
ment, representing slxty-five millions
of toilers, thus has to get down on Its
knees and beg the bankers to have
pity on 1t, and permit it to live and
maintain its integrity. o, ye Code
and little fishes! was there ever such q
debasing condition before2 Sixty-flve
millions OF people who have created
all tho wealth Of this nation begging a
few Thousand cut-throat usurers to
permit them and their government to
live without Disgrace. It is an ad.
mission that the people have been
robbed OF the power to protect them
selves, in short thirty years reduced
to servitude. Bumiliating spectacle
having TO beg favor Of the creatures
the people have created.
Parents who gave birth to, nourish-
ed and protected the child that now
looks with indifference upon those
parents, begging the child to spare
their lives In honor. Robbing ten
thousand of their children to bestow
1t upon one, and then this treatment
from the one. Oh, citizens OF the once
powerful western republic, this Is youi
reward for selflshness, Ignorance aud
injustice to your people. Drink oil
the cup you have been pr eparing those
years Of misrule. You will yet find
more fearful dregs to come. This IL
! but the beginning OF your fluctuations
for debauchery and Ignorance In gov
eminent. You have turned over YOU
government to set OF corrupt money
makers, and they have bartered off YOU
heritage for mess of potage.
They have sold you and bonded you
to Shylock, and you and your children
