In those days came John, the Secre-
larry OF the Treasury, preaching IN Mem
phis.
q. And Saying, repent We Of your silver
fallacy, for the kingdom OF Grover is at
hand.
3. For this is he that was spoken OF
by Hazard, saying: 1.-The great debt
hat capitalists will see to it is made out
OF the var must be used as a means to
control the volume OF money. To ac-
complish this, bonds must be used as a
banking basis. X \ y twill notdo to
allow the %greenback, as it Is called, to
circulate as money any length OF time,
as we cannot control that"
4. And the same John was he that
made a free silver speech IN Congress in
1878, and voted for free silver. and his
raiment was of finest broadcloth, and
he wore patent leather shoes and a plug
hat.
5. Then went out to him the bankers
and boards OF trade, and n~ote-shavers,
and the politicians and postmasters of
the South.
6. And they sat under the drippings OF
the sanctuary, and heaid his voice, and
believed and were baptized IN the name
OF Gold, Bank Notes, and Bonds.
z. But when he saw many OF the post
masters and the customs officers come
to his meeting, he said unto them, go,
generation OF boodiers, who hath warned
you to flee from the wrath to Gomez"
s. And they answered HIM as with One
voice, and said 1T was King Growers
letter to GOV. Stone"
9. And John said, "bring forth, there
fore, fruits meet for repentance"
10. And they contributed literally to
the campaign fund.
IL. And think not to say within your
selves. we have Jefferson for our teacher;
for l say unto you that Growers able to
raise a bigger campaign Juno than Jeffer-
son ever saw or dreamed of.
II. l indeed speak to you as secretary
Of the treasury, and in behalf of q gold
standard, but Grover is mightier than 1,
his fish bait | am not worthy to cut: .
13. Whose fan is IN his hand, and he
will thoroughly purge his %postcffices and
his revenue Offices, and gatherhis cuckoos
into the garner; but he will everlastingly
fire the offensive free silver partizans.
IA. And John vent up into Kentucky.
where there was much whisky, and
preached his gold doctrine there.
Is. And he told the people to wot not
what Blackburn said that free silver
coinage was a fallacy and a delusion and
q snare.
16. And he denied that he had ever
favored the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver.
II. And he showed them that II they
had free coinage of silver the words u
the prophet, John Sherman, would be
fulfilled and a great dearth fall upon the
people thereof.
10. And he cried out unto them witt
a loud voice, saying:
10. If you have free silver the price O
everything will rise because OF an in
crease in the amount OF money, and thu
creditor will be swindled by having tt
take a cheap dollar for his note.
no. And he taught them, also, that i
We had free coinage gold would leave thu
country and produce contraction of th'
currency, and money would be scarce
and wages and prices would be lower.
2l. And the bankers and the post
masters rejoiced and cried with q lout
voice, "Let us nave sound currency"

* and the note-shavers and bondholder
throughout the land said amen!
