the people, and collect that tribute
By law. The Law caa tar the Amer
lean people directly and indirectly
almost without limit, and by this
power Of the Law the syndicate Of
New York bankers and London Jews
are seeking TO vrest from the people
their hard earned wealth under the
form OF interest on bonds.
New jast see the condition Of
things. There was one hundred
million Of dollars in the "gold re
serve" when the Democratic party
came into power, ONE HUNDRED AND
sIxTY-Two MILLIONS of gold interest
bearing bonds have been issued to
keep it up to the mark and yet it is
BELOW THE MARK to-day. The gov
eminent has created new debt to
the amount Of these bonds, and on
that debt the people must pay an an
nual interest Of six and one-half
million dollars.
Oh! that "chance" which the Dem
ocrats begged for SO hard and got!
Oh! Democratic Prosperity"
A new bond issue is certainly ex.
pected. 1t will probably not be less
than fifty millions. Make the same
calculation here that is made above,
and see how you like it. Try to see
where you are drifting.
This is not all the Democratic
party wants to do. Cleveland, the
great Democratic joss wants to is.
sue FIVE HUNDRED MILLION interes,
bearing gold bonds. That is his plan.
He wants to retire all the greenback
treasury notes which bear no inter.

interest bearing bonds. The Demo.

Congressman Tarsney who has
just returned from Europe said to a
Washington Post reporter: eff a
man wants to invigorate his patriot
ism let him 60 to Europe" We
dont't know what he means, but we
do know that Speaker Crisp went to
Europe declaring that he was for
free silver, and that he comes back
after month and confesses that he
is for goldbue for President. He
seems to have been ''invigorated,,

One of the clearest facts of the
day is the fact that the Rothschilds
and goldbugs are capturing those
men who have been called leaders
IN the Democratic party. Many of
these leaders have been in Europe
this summer. What is the natural
conclusioni It is this. These lead
ers think they own the people. The
European goldbugs "ix" the "lead-
ers" and the leaders think they can

LET'S PUT THEM ON THE LIST,

Many of the CAUcAs1AN's read
ers are now familiar with the
work of that "52 William
Street Reform Club," which sup
Plies newspapers, free of charge
with goldbug literature. They no,
only do that, but they offer to print
any paper free Of charge, that will
distribute goldbug literature.

Let it be remembered that this
"Reform Club" is composed of Dem
ocrats. The headquarters of the
club is located just where Grover
Cleveland's law Office was in New
York. Cleveland's law partner has
his Office there now. C. S. Fairchild,
who was Cleveland's former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, is chairman
of this club. 1t calls itself a REFORM
Club; but it is fighting to MAINTAIN
the gold standard If it meant "re-
FORM" it would be wanting to
change things. But it is fighting to
keep the gold standard in this coun-
try. 1t wants no change. There
fore when it calls itself Reform
Club" it lies.

What must be done under these
awful conditionsi Gold must be
gotten from somewhere. The "gold

the work of restoring the reserve
began. The banks and money spec.

This club is composed of Demo-
CRITIC bankers and millionaires,
money sharks, gamblers and specu-
lators. The members of the execu-
tive committee recently made a re-
port in which they said that three
hundred papers, mostly in the West
and South, had been captured, or
were using the clubs ready made
goldbug literature. The club made
boast that these were country pa
pers, which went to the ruruz poters.
and as rule, were the only papers
which the rural ooters ever read or
saw. And from this fact the IRE
form Club" thinks it will capture
these rural voters, and convince
them that the goldbug doctrine is
the best thing for them and the
country. Whyf Because these ri
raj coters read no other papers, and
they would do just as these mlser-
able, bought-up, hireling little gold
bug sheets said do. 1t seems that
these old moss-back, bossy, ring
Democrats will never learn that the
people are not fools.

have once before asked: Is it
possible that there are any
here9 Yes. We admit it with re-
gret. With loathing and shame we
see the journalism of the "Uld North

see its standard lowered and it's fai,
name blackened by the acceptance Of
the monopolistic and panic-makine
literature sent out by this goldbug
club.

ANOTHER ISSUE OF BONDS.

This headline ought to make every
man stop and think.
There is no true man who sees it
that will not stop and think.
Regular readers of the CAUCASIAN
are posted on the existing Demo-
cratic scheme of issuing bonds, but
a brief reference to it may prove
interesting. Let us begin with what
is known as the "gold reserve" and
follow up the facts.

Whitney was hoisted to his pres
emf position by the Standard Oil
Company. His life and associations
make him very acceptable to the
trusts and monopolists, to Wall
street and to the foreign gold trust,
and from present indications we feel
sure that the capitalistic press, the
banking interests, Wall street and
the monopolists, will silently and
quietly, but necessarily work to the
end Of securing the Democratic nom
ination for Whitney for tho Presi-
dency.

The syndicate agreed that they
would keep the "gold reserve" up to
the one hundred million dollar mark
till october LIST. They also agreed
that they would bring thirty-fve
million dollars of gold from Europe
so as to increase the amount of gold
in this country. They brought only
fifteen million dollars in gold from
Europe, and they have not kept the
"gold reserve" up. They never IN
TENDED TO DO 1T. This is proven by
the fact that member of the syndi-
cate drew large amount of gold
from the treasury last week instead
of putting gold into it as agreed
upon. This helped to bring the
"gold reserve" down BELOW THE
MARK.

Solons on these respective islands
may decide. For all these favors
from the Board of Health let us be
truly thankful. We are fortunate
to be alive. 1t is indeed a glorious
privilege to live under republic,
or indeed four Of them, for have we
not bona fide governments on the
four islands, with all the privileges
and powers thereto appertaining?
Were we to have a man at the head
of affairs with backbone enough to
assert himself, we would feel that
the country was tending toward an
oligarchy, and it would cause us
alarm and possibly tears. 1t is in

considered Defender a formidabl

"Oh, yes; she is a mighty goo

ances she has proved herself to be
