Session to Endorse His Policy Of Sail
ing Forninst the Wind.
Well, the last democratic congress
that will yer assemble in America has.
adjourned Dissolved partnership with
the sugar trust and the bankers, and
given it up that democracy is a hopeless
wreck. King Grover is still on deck,
and will call the new crew in special.
session to take lessons in his policy of
sailing against the wind. Grover said
he would give the people an object les
son-and he has given us a lesson that
even a fool can UNDERSTANDINGS to men
ton his magnificent gifts to the bank
ers of London and New York. Some
people think he should have given the
object lesson to the bankers and the
prosperity to the people. But let that
pass. The people have at least learned
! h governs them. And that will pay
The damage. Democracy has shown it's
1ncompetency-at the same time it has
revealed the fact that it is not more dis
honest than the republican party. The
bankers and corporations have ruled
Tor twenty years--but they have lever
before dictated SO openly as during the
past W years. While the people have
denounced President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle for bonding the ma
ton, it has been found that the republic
can party had prepared the way for this
rascality by providing law for it-and
b republican god, John. Sherman, en-
dorses the policy of the administration
IN every case where; he accedes to the
demands of the bankers and trusts.
80 per cent of the republicans in
congress endorsed the President in the:
special session which repealed the Sher-
man law and refused to coin the silver,
seigniorage: The leaders are all in the
same boat and the bankers hold the
rudder. The country has been bonded
for nearly 5000, 000, 900 to keep up a use
Less gold reserve, which is. one of the
pet traditions of the republican party.
The President wants the best money of
the nation destroyed-and the leading
republicans and the bankers endorse
this Infamous scheme. Plutocracy is
opposed to the income tax-and 80 are
the leaders of both old parties. The
money question has come to the front,
as the Populists have proclaimed that
1t. must. It has split the democratic,
party up the middle of the back, and is
rapidly ripping the republican party in
twain. The leaders. of both old parties
have shown their adherence to a single
gold standard, and there is no hope of
relief for the people from either. The
people have been paying a lot of repre-
sentatives SIS each per day and per-
quisities to .legislate for the bankers
and soulless corporations. Probably
their pay has been greater from the
corporations-but that makes them
nonethe less traitors after having taken
the oath of office and pledged them
selves to serve the whole people. Per
hapst the influence is too strong for them
to resist-hence it would be better for
the people to have a direct vote upon all
important questions.
The republicans howl about the pres
ident's secret deal with Rothschilds,
whereby the United States is mortgaged
to a firm who hold mortgages on every
civilized and half-civilized nation on the
globe. It is a most high-handed crime
but the Rothschilds were the origina-
tors of the great financial conspiracy
which first demonetized silver, burned
the greenbacks and bonded the nation
for the resumption of special pay
ments"-all for the benefit of the gold
sharks, and perpetrated by the grand
old republican party. There is no ques-
ton but democracy has made a monu-
mental failure and a record of perfidy
and dishonor, but the republican record
is so much worse, that democracy ap-
pears merely as a blunder in the course
of organized v~illainy that has managed
heretofore to conceal more or less of its
trail. The two years record OF the ad-
ministration is the climax to thes re-
publican serial story of taking all the
traffic will bear without causing a revo-
luton. The democrats were not accus-
toned to handling republican dyna-
mite-and it exploded on their hands.
The republicans had the thing carefully
adjusted and confidently expected to
live %riotously at public expense forever
but the democrats nave blown up the
whole magazine and the republicans
are afraid to approach Washington.
The noise has walked the people up, and
they are watching. All the plans of the
gold bugs are exposed and the eople
