SHERMAN CATECHISED.
The Great GOIdbug Afraid OF the
POpuliSt.

Justice STAND up, John Oner-
man; you are to De questioned re-
garding your actions or finance; Mr.
Goose Quill proceeded with the ex-
animation
Goose Quill-"Mr Sherman,
please state to the court and jury,
what occurred at the meeting of your
self and Mr.. Shylock. l refer to the
meeting held in Mr.. Rothschilds
private office on Wall street.
Sherman-''I decline to answer.
am Mr.. Rothchild's confidential
agent; l shape financial legislation at
Washington for his benefit 1t would
be breach of etiquette and good
faith for me to disclose what passed
between Mr.. Shylock and myself;
we are both sworn to the utmost
secrecy"
G. Q.-''Do you consider it good
policy, Mr.. Sherman, for senator
who is paid to represent the people
of OHIO and the United States in the
senate chamber, to be the contiden-
tial agent Of the Shylocks and to
shape legislation wholly for their
benefit"
ST hope you don't think | 60
to the senate for my health; 50, 900
a ear don't pay my campaign ex-
penses. 1t did not take me long to
find out that the Shylock agents are
the best paid men in Washington;
50 you can readily zee how it hap
pened that | became millionaire.
G. Q.-Are you not afraid Mr..
Sherman, that the people will find
out how they have been betrayed,
and that there will be day of recl1~
or-ing!
S-We have succeeded in keepin..
the dear people in hypnotic con i
ton for the past twenty-five years.
All we have to do each campaign IS
to employ few brass bands, shout
tariff in the North and free trade III
the South, and one or the other of
our candidates goes in with a rush.
THIS gives us another lease on the
people for four years more. 1t IS the
most improved and eifectual form of
slavery ever discovered, Rothschlld
is monarch of all he surveys, but he
beginning to fear the Populists.
G. Q. Don't you think the Popu-
lists are going to seriously interfere
with the future plans of the Shy
locksl
S.-To be frank with you, ! am
afraid of them; we have tried to buy
their leaders, but without success. A
great many Populists are heavily
mortgaged. We threatened fore
closure unless they return to the two
old parties, but it don't work. We
have subsidized the Democratic and
Republican press to ridicule them
without mercy, but it only tends to IL
crease their strength. fear we will
have to resort to violent measures,
and fear the result.
G. o. have cablegram from
M. Rothschilds to you. He demands
that you Immediately call President
Cleveland and his cabinet together,
and have an extra session of Congress
without delay. A financial earth
quake is at hand. Make all of
Count Won Baron Rothschilds' Sc
curities full legal tender for 20 per
cent more than their face value; have
the government guarantee the in
terest; don't put IN any excep-
tons"
S.-"Give me that message i'm
mediately; it is confidential. If
Rothschilds knew that cablegram was
read in court, l would be a ruined
man"
G. % beg your pardon, Mr..
Sherman | did not notice the word
confidential top line. Owing to the
Importance of the message you will
now be excused. Reno Journal.
