Arizona republican., 1894-05-04

<. joined in by less than fifty bankers on
 this side, and carried out by one or two l corrupt so-called statesmen, and that accursed money power has been able to hold this Republic for twentv-one
 years in it's clutches, to bribe mer-
 cenary press to Set up hobgoblins be-
 fore the people, to give spacious reasons 1 for the growing, steady pressure upon the country, and to keep congress en- circled by its octopus arms, and to
 make it helpless to do justice by the people. We are not fit to be free peo- pie; our claln of superior intelligence is myth. The people all these years bave held in their hands the power to do what is needed to be done, and they have been bullied, coNed and robbed for twenty-one years, and all the time the great masses in the East have licked the paws of the tigers that have torn them. The proposition is so sim- pie, to one who knows the elementary rule that governs finance and trade, that prices are controlled wholly by the amount of money in country; that with that amount doubled, prices double; with that amount cut in two, prices fall 50 per cent. It is almost in- credible that while this has been going on, while our lawmakers have cut in two and thrown away half the money, the people have made no sign. They have been able, we mean the money-changers, through their subsidized press, to fool the people into the belief that the calamlties have come through natural causes, and they have held over the people club, that if they should dare to do right, the result would be that all
 the gold of the country would be waited away, and the people have looked on in horror at such a contingency, and all the time they have not had quarter of a dollar in their pockets, and have not seen dozen gold pieces in twenty years. At last, praise God, the crisis has come. The hungry hordes that can get no employment are focking towards Washington, and the birds of prey in the great cities look with dismay upon the fact that the securities upon which they loaned their money in the west are vanishing away, and that in lieu of drawing interest regularly. they are drawing now armies of hungry and des- perate men. That will bring them to to their senses in the only way that it can be done, and that is through their fears, because natural robber is like wise natural coward, and we tell the men of the west to keep their hopes warm that inside of twelve months, as we read the signs of the times, they will see the so-called statesmen, the so- called candidates for high office in both the old parties, tumbling over each other to assure the people that they have always been in favor of silver money, and we will see the cringing, and, at the same tune, bullying press of the great eastern cities coming down from their perches, and saying that they have always had the best interests of the people at heart, and that what they have said against silver has only been in the interest of the honor of the country and that they most heartily re- joice ab silver restoration. The thing IS working all right, but that does not take away the disgrace of the fact that the American people sat for twenty-one years with their hands tied, kissing the hands of the scoundrels who tied their hands and applauded them whenever they hurled their insults at those who were trying to tell the people where their trouble really was.
