The baltimore plan.


The repeal plan is working admirably.
The prosperity OF that promise is coming
beautifully just all the gold plans do.
London gets s51O00,0c0 of United States gold
bonds every six months to swap her Ameri-
can railroad and other bonds for. In time
they will have unloaded on this side ali the
non-governmenfs they hold. Then they
will swap the United States bonds in Lon
don and Berlin FOR bonds on English and
German peoples. Then they are ready
for the certain Reputation that they know
is surely coming. Said one OF their leaders
before the royal commission, viz; Il can
not suppose that everybody is wise. Just
think of the folly of the United States
a debtor nation-adoptng a gold coinage!
They know nothing about currency mat
tiers; they did not even know that IL was
going to increase their debt enormously.

They know a lot of fools when they see
them. and they know that our so-cailed
statesm IN have led us into the dismal swamp
of bankruptcy. and they know reputation
is the only escape.
They know that the gold range of prices
makes a paupar nation of this ana that
we will and must dump" our burdens 10
..even up and hence the urgency of the
bond issues.
They know that our home bankers will
follow them and enforce their ideas up 10
what fools they are-that the gold stand
ard is finally good only for those who hold
government bonds. and that the govern
ment bonds have all gone TO Europe and
the non-goVernmcnts have hoated back
here and that the home bankers are only
secured by bonds and notes on an impover-
iShed and desperate people-when that day
comes as soon il must these London fell
lows know that the home bankers will see
that reputation of public debts and scaling
private ones is the only escape from reVolu-
ton and reputation, and hence, as
lesser evils, these same bankers viii join
I'm the cry for a scaling and REIMBURSEMENT.
These London fellows will have unloaded
their Americans for United States govern
meuts and in turn. unloaded these on the
general public in England and Germany.
and will he ready 10 help the crash But
where is the Baltimore plan" in this?
WAY il is Just where the "overproduction'
racket. and the soc dollar racket. and the
tariff sham fight. and all their hunbugs
are-marely silly toy to amuse the fool
with while they rob him.
Why. says Comptroller Eckels-the ''only
est ''finawnceer' or some 'I-know-it-asr'
national banker-why, this is, its face.
absurd, Yes, it is absurd-absurd that a
gang Of men still hug their deiusion that
following London ideas can benefit us in
any way. IL is absurd that our bankers
30 not how they are helping their own
ruin IN forcing scent cotton, 4o-cent wheat,
So mules, 50-cent labor none at all, etc,
ON "A people that owe our bankers money.
Who's going TO pay your notes, Mr. Bank
er? They all rest on this Accent cotton, for
ty-cent wheat. 5O-cent labor, etc.
Now. how can they be paid? It's coming
your time To walk the ioor'-we are too
weak 10 walk any more. Where are you
going To get your money? Oh, business is
reviving and prosperity is to come.
Yes. train-robbiug and treasury gold-ln-one-

and receivers court-robbng are reviving.
and a large amount Of that kind of prosper
ity is before us. but II YOU know anything
about this subject you know that prices
must continue To fall. fall. fan. until all
industry ceases. or else revolution must
have stayed the robber march of the one
metal standard. The Assurances consists in
your blindness.
Mr.. Editor. watch this Baltimore plan
this is good plan, populist plan, too.
The popusts want the government TO fur
