edges the Corn.
There is no ADLER supporter Of
President Cleveland and his gold
policy in the Northwest than the
st. Paul Morning Call. Last
Thursday the Call contained the
; editorial printed below. We ask
all our readers to read it care
fully. The Call comedies that the
main contention Of the Peoples
Party against our money system
is true, to-wit: That the money
men-not the average banker in
the country-but the Rothschilds
and their American representa-
tions, have corneled gold, and
that ours is the only govern
ment that submits to their blood
sucking operations. The Popu-
lists have been denounced as wild
and woolly silverlunatics, repudi-
ators, fiatists, etc., ETC., because
we have insisted that the govern
ment should redeem part OF it's
obligations in silver; that if the
government kept on redeeming
everything in gold it would
tinally bankrupt the nation: The
Call now holds the same view. 1t
says: "Ours is the only treasury
on earth which pays out it's
gold without restriction to
whoever shall apply for it," and
goes on to restate the absurdity
OF this policy in language that
has been stated and reiterated
by Populists a hundred times.
Light is evidently breaking in
high places. "Ours must not be
the only treasury in the world
whose gold is free to all comers
We must not submit to spolia-
tion, etc, etc." Good, Bro. Hall!
That sounds like good old pa
triotism: like modern Populism,
fyou please. Give us more of
that stuff and we don't care
what party you belong to.
Morning Call, May 9th, 1895:
RA1DlNG THE TREASURY.
Once again have the gold spec
ulators forced upon the atten-
ton OF the country, the necessity
OF some provision OF law by
means of which the treasury may
protect itself from a constant
drain, or a periodical raid by
those who would force the issue
of new bonds or impair the ma
tional credit. 1t is said that the
ROthschilds, through their Ameri-
can representatives, have been
buying up all the gold bullion in
the country, paying for it a small
premium over the prices paid by
our nlints, and have been also
absorbing whatever of gold coin
they could obtain through drafts
upon the treasury. The legal
gold reserve has again fallen
below the ninety million mark,
and indications are that it will
fall still lower in the near future,
as a considerable quantity will
be required to meet drafts now
ON their way from Europe.
Thesefreguently recurringr raids
upon the treasury are not pleas.
ant matters for contemplation
1t is humiliating that oul
government should be at the
mercy of a few foreign mercen
aries. without any adequate
means Of protecting itself. Ours
is the 0nly government on the
face of the earth in which such 8
condition exists. The richest
nation on the globe we are yet
the poorest in means of defend
ing our own credit, and may al
any time be forced to repudiatt
our obligations simply because
we have neglected the means by
which they can be met:
Ours is the only treasury or
earth which pays out it's colo
without restriction to whoever
shall apply for it. We redeem
our currency notes on. demand
when they are presented in sums
of ten thousand dollars or more
and our bonds, now constantly
maturing, are made payable il
the same metal.
