elimination Of the Conspiracy.

Wall street resolved TO make Grover
Cleveland president, there were five
things they resolved upon accomp-
fishing. Says tue Nonconformist.
l. The establishment Of the single
gold standard.
,. The total .lemonetiza,ion and
destruction of silver.
3. The reversal of the decisions of
the supreme court in the Srcenback
cases.
1. The issue of several hundred
millions of United States bonds.
5. The complete control OF tue
amount, and power to issue paper
money to be conferred upon tue ma
tional banks.
Two important steps toward the
completion of that conspiracy have
been taken in the list few days.
The supreme court is composed of
nine judges when full. There was
one vacancy. 1t is generally under
stood that these judges were evenly
divided on the question of the corsti.
tutionality Of the greenbacks, four for
and four against. To be able to de-
stroy the greenback money it was
necessary to fill the the Vacancy with
man in favor Of tie proposition.
Cleveland sent in the name of Horn
blower and Peckham, and they were
both rejected. Then he nominated
Senator White, of Louisiana, and he
was confirmed by acclimatisn. Sena-
ator White is a typical southern "fire
eater" the most rabid gold standard
man in the senate. 1t was he who
wanted Dubois expelled because he
refused to vote to make a quorum,
1t was lie who pitched on to Cockrell
in rage of temper one day, and SAID
in..substance that the silver senators
were reducing the discussion to the
level of bar room quarrel, and now
he is the associate justice of the su
preme court, by the grace OF the
Democratic party, who is to destroy
the grecnback money, and that part
of the conspiracy is accomplished.
On Tuesday Attorney General Onl,
rendered decision by which the
treasury department will in the future
be guided, which utterly destroys tht
last vestage of silver as a money
metal. Mr.. Only says:
Silver certificates are just what they
purport to be on their face and b.
their terms-that IS, they attest th'
fact that the United States has on dc
posit so many silver dollars, whicl
will be paid to the holder upon pre-
sentation and surrender of such certif
Gates. II they can be regarded a
at all, it is only because the Un;te'
States agrees to receive them $50
customs, taxes and all public debts,
and only to that extent and for thos
specific purposes. In my opinion
the attorney general adds, they ar
not "lawfIl money" within the NEAR
in. of section of the act Of Jun
20, 1874, and section 8 of the act &
July II, 1892.
Silver certificates are the sam
thing as silver dollars, aud Mr.. Olne
therefore, says that silver dollars al
not lawful money. That is the en-
of silver. as the department will az
upon that decision. and the Dcmt
cratic party, by the aid of She: maj
Hoar and others, has accompl,she
another part of the conspiracy.
As to the issue of bonds, $50, 200
900 have already been sold, and til
remainder will be put out before til
close of 1893. While Cleveland ha
been the prime mover IN the accom-
lishment Of the great conspiracy. b
could not have succeeded without tn
aid of John Sherman, Dan Voorhee
