Booming Prices.

The business revival liars make sorry
fist of it. A few weeks ago word was
passed round by telegraph to all the cor.
poration, sound money!" gold ring
dailies to start business boom. Brad
street and Dunn & Co. caught on and
published weekly that business was OH
the up grade. In the face of facts open
to all men-facts all out of doors you
might say-they begin to taper off, and
say '"There is no real reaction in bus
iness. Gains that were recognized as
temporary are vanishing" and prices
average S.S per cent lower than one year
ago." These "booms" announced by the
plutocratic press are always downward at
the end. And prices will be per cent
lower next year, than this, as they are
this year than last. If you old partyites
don't believe this and have short menl-
ories, take piece of chalk and write it in
some public place where you will see it
every day. Prices can't rise and business
revive with the volume ofmoney growing
less steadily.
The bankers of London and New York
are organizing concentrated raid on the
greenbacks in the next congress, and they
are whipping in all the banks in the
country to support the heavy charge.
The new issue of bonds has been tenn
porarily abandoned Presumably Cleve-
land began to get scared. The Rothschild
program appears now to be combined
attack on the greenbacks, the best money
we ever had, Notwithstanding the Grip
pling exception clause, the wound made
by the Wall street dagger in its back
while the Union soldiers were protecting
the nation on the battle field. All the
leading old party papers-both parties are
one in the raid-are crying in chorus to
destroy the greenbacks, and Cleveland is
appointed to lead the charge. $346,ooo,
600, or all of that amount not lost and
destroyed in use of thirty-two years, are
to be taken from use by the people as
money, burned up and bonds issued bear
ing interest in their place to be held by
banks and the rich money spectators.
That amount of circulating money-the
best money the nation ever knew-is to
be taken from use by the people, and a
bond debt to the same amount settled on
them for the use of the rich banking
spectators. This additional shrinkage
in the circulating money will help drive
prices lower, while an addition to the
bonded debt will demand more taxes.
And the English and American gold ring
are using both the old parties to accom-
plish this diabolical end
The bankers conventions that are being
held in different parts of the country are
all up to their necks in this conspiracy to
destroy the greenbacks and 1890 legal
tenders, which would place an additional
bonded debt on the country of $500, ,ooo,-
900. The American Bankers Association
have arranged a three days meeting to
be held in Atlanta, commencing on the
18th inst, for which one of the most elab-
crate goldbug programs has been made
out. They have shut out every speaker
who could or would present the silver
side, and they hope to make a ten strike
in favor of the Rothschild ring and
"sound money" before great audiences
assembled from all parts of the country.
So the conspiracy of shylock against the
people and their money goes on. All
disguises are now thrown off and with
Cleveland in the White House they hope
to crush the power of the people at a
single blow, but,
"The best laid schemes of mice and men gang
aft agly."
