The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1895-08-20

Bowling Green the next day he told
his audience that the debtor class
should beware how they agitated this
question, as the creditor class might
become alarmed, shut down on the
creditors and ruin them. Oh, for a
government official chat can be consist
ent twenty four hours!
One year ago Cleveland had a holy
horror of officers engaging in partisan
politics and he turned out several men
on that charge. All is changed now
Hoax Myth is out on the stump. Eckels
Is out, all the secretaries are cut on u
Junketing Jour at your expense. They
want to make you believe that a dollar
Is bigger than man. They have made
IL hard round yellow God, and If you
belong to the Democratic household
and do not bow down tt it, furnaces
are being heated for you.
Go about this Dead Sea of mOnomet-
alllsm, you will fad that on it's shore
Cnere Is not a fruit that does not melt
TO eshes on the lips, not a wave of
brotherhood or Christian sympathy in
It's waters. Matthew MARSHALL the great
goldOug writer of the New York Sun,
writes: "A number of philanthropic
women have petitioped the legislature
Tor the relief of the hundred thousand
women In New York who work for
forty cents a day. These ladies should
know that in China and Japan, where
prices OF products are no higher than
mere, manV women work for ten cents
a Day" lois Is a fruit of monometal-
lism. That great goldbug Edward At
Klnson, who knows more things that
amt so than any other man In the
country, says he has discover red a
chemical compound by which man can
live on ten cents a day. That is the
way they would have US live under the
gold standard. A great Chicago banker
said the other day that this decIlae
in prices, ike sickness and death, must
come to the strOngfsj constitutions
That is the idea of the goldbugs.
Mr.. Cleveland says the people must
b5 educated on this question. ! know
that the money of great corporations is
stocking universities with their teach
ers of political economy. But there is
abroad in the land g ste rder school
master than any other that walks the
earth. His logic may not be complete
in all it's links, but it is Irresistible 1t
is a logic that ONE from the empty
pocket and the empty stomach.
The people will not bow down and
worship this golden hinge.
Tney tell you this fight is for the
silver mine owners. Ihave no interest
in this fight, except as regards the vel
fare of my fellow citizens. My own
S 9lfish interests are On the other side
We have got to win this fight in 1896
We have g)t to win this fight, or the
wheels of the world will be turned
back: They were turned back once
and for centuries the shadows fell upon

we had the lark Ages of the world
that was the effect of the contrac tion
of the worlds currency.
The Rothschilds, who own so many
millions of our bonds, own one fifth of
the worlds gold to day.
If we put ourselves under their
yoke, we are our own destroy ers. Will
the future historian write that here
there lived a nation of fools9 Will he
write that al the request OF the creditor
they destroyed one half their red3mp-
ton money and put a yoke of almost
slavery upon their decendants2
We must settle this problem now,
according to the principles of the
brotherhood of man. We must win
the battle now. II not, then the gold
standard will be fixed upon US, and
then we can secure emancipation only
by the two extreme remedies of re-
pudiatiOn OF revolution.
We have nine million votes to be
cast against this money evil but they
are divided into three parties Great
India is held in subsection by 80, 900
British soldiers; caste there divides all
classes. Shall we erect these parry
fetitches ana allow the politician who
is after the loaves and fishes to fool Us
x x * X / have lost pride In party
name and party opinion. x X =
Nor do I care what party it is that
wins the victory for truth eternal
Many satellites in the shape of other
minor problems hover about this great
question, and the party that wipes out
this great i'll will settle many a minor
question that now di3turbs us. I'll
| trust the other questions to the party
/ that dares to meet this great enemy,
backed by public Office, federal patron
age and Influence, greed and avarice,
It will have the courage to overthrow
any other evils that may come in our
way.
The parties have m5d9 us many
promises from the great earth to the
blue sky; they have broken them all
to the heart and the hope.
When the Great AssIzas are held and
| Satan sits in his robes of State, it will
not be Benedict Arnold who will lead
the gang Of the damned; it will not be
Judas IscarioJ, for he had the decency
to give back to the High Priest the
silver coins. John Sherman as the
arch traitor will lead all the damned.
