prove true President Cleveland and
his secretary Of the treasury should DO

II is bad enough 10 be forced to pay for
the stupidity Of congress that has re-
duced the revenues below the ex-
penses of the government, without be-
ing robbed BY the men who have taken
oath TO protect the interests Of the ma

The above article, double loaded,
constituted the leading editorial in
last Saturdays News. After several
years in newspaper Office, and bav-
ing access to all kinds and colors OF
political newspapers and magazines,
Brother Sponsler seems, at last, to have
absorbed enough knowledge to know
that the finances Of the country are
being manipulated by gang Of gam
blers and cuthroats by the side of
whom the Dalton gang would app ear
rs gentlemen. If Brother Sponsler
will 90 back four years and investigate,
even the files Of the News, he will find
the account of Secretary WINDOWS
death, which occurred at a banquet
given BY the gold gamblers of Wall
street in his honor, and whose death
was as tragic as thai Of the historic
BelshaZZar.
We are with you Brother Sponsler
in this fight against the policy of the
present administration on the financial
question. We 90 farther than you do.
We want you tell your readers who are
backing the president and treasurer;
tell them that Tom Reed and Dalzell
are his princial supporters in the
house, while Old John Sherman, with
HOar, and Morrill,, and Henderson, are
his hackers in the senate. Be honest,
Sponsler, be a man, break the chains.
You know as well as we that the
northeast wing politicians of the
country aided and backed by the
nabObs Of England and Germany, and
the hell;ons of Wall street are running
the politics of the country and that
your party is just as deep in the mud
as the democrats are in the mire.
And further, that Cleveland and
Carlisle are following exactly in the
fOOt-tracks of the Harrison admins
tration, and that the very bonds that
Mr.. Carlisle sold were printed from the
plates ordered by ex-Secretary Foster.
Tell your readers this, and If you have
any doubts about the policy of the
former administrations read the little
book, written in 1888 by Mrs. Emery,
entitled, 1.-The Seven Financial Con.
spiraeies," This much abused book
ridiculed by the leading members of
your party in this state as being untrue
which on being brought to the notice
of Senator Sherman he acknowledged
that every one of the acts were COM
mitte1, but taat they. were for, main
tanning the parity, strengthing the
public credit, to restore confidence -
and other such balderdash, as was
given in the late message of President
Cleveland.
For 80 years every law enacted on
finance has been in the interest of
these fellows, while the common herd
like you and were kept in ignorance
Of the true fact by a "sham" battle
over the tariff, negro domination, ETC.,
and the result is, that we have both
seen in the few years that we have
lived the ground gradually slip

95 per cent of them are compelled to
bust, just for the sake of these cold
blOoded, selfish hypocrites down east,
who, own the larger per cent of the
daily press, the ministers of the gospel
and very nearly everything else.. Its
time dear brother to stop quarreling
over little differences. The people are
oppressed as never before in the his

was not allowed to starve. There is hun

and all or nearly all is caused by the

unjust amount Of their products to

the government to the people.
