money. This means a new debt to be sad
died upon the productive labor of the coun.
TRIP, and probably upon that Of children yet

misrule of Republican administration
which when it assumed the reins of govern
ment found an overlooking treasury with a
hundred millions of surplus at their dis

career the Republican party will have earned
The right to be retired from the field of
national politics forever.-CecI Democrat.
Now, now, now, friend, play fair. This
bond money is not "for the needs of the
treasury" but to pay gold to bankers who
gather up greenbacks and legal tender
notes on purpose to draw coin out of the
fasten more debt on the country that
national bankers can continue their control
of government ana people. The law says
plainly that such drafts shall be paid in
''coin," either gold or silver, and not gold
alone. For the purpose of making such
payments in coin" there is at present in
the government vaults 100000 900 in gold
add $495, 900, 900 in silver coin and nulion,
ready TO convert into coin, or the enormous
quantity of Is, 900 tons of silver. Here is
the money for redemption and there is the
law. Why do the men placed in charge
not comply with the law ? And is Cleveland
any better than Harrison in this criminal
conspiracy against the people? No. He is
in reality more guilty. He has sent his
agents 10 Washington to iniimidate and force
Congress to pass this infamous bond robbery
Matched by John Sherman. Among the
greatest OF these Cleveland emissaries was
Henry Willard, who is considered among
the leaders in the corporation and banking
class to be a greater scoundrel than ever
Jay Gould was. And this man is used by
Cleveland to force an extra gold deb, OF
$50, 600, coo on the American people. Now
let US see who these beauties are in this
conspiracy. John Sherman; Secretary of
the Treasury, Charles Foster John 6.
Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury TO be ,
Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison
Harrison is the least guilty Of all for he is
opposed TO issuing any bonds, during his
ADMINISTRATION at least. When the Democrat
comments on this subject it ought to tell the
whole truth, in place of attempting to make
out that Cleveland and the democrat party
are one whit less guilty Of this conspiracy
against the people than Harrison and the
republican party. In confirmation of the
charge that Cleveland is hand and glove
with this Plutocratc bond crowd take
glance at the status of his chosen Cabinet.
In "Poor's Directory of Directors we find
the following recorded:

Buffalo & Southwestern Railroad Go.
Buffalo, Rochester & Piltsburg Railroad
Company.
Buffalo, Thousand I'ds & Portland Rait.
way Company.
Lehigh Valley Railway Company.
Lehigh Valley Transportation Company.
MIR. Bissell, we may add, is the gentleman
who in the next Cabinet will pass on the
myriad claims made by railroads for carry
ing the mails on which the Government
spends 1922 900 900 year.
There is also this eniry:-
Olney, Richard, Boston, Mass.
Boston & Maine Railroad Company.
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Railroad :.
Mr.. Olney is to be Attorney General and
his experience in urging the land claims of
the Burlington ought TO be of great service
now that he is to oppose these of this and
other land grant roads.
These entries also appear
Lamont. Daniel s., New York, n. Y.

Smith, Hoke, Atlanta. Ga.
Capitol City Bank.
Georgia. Carolina & North Railway.
