A SNORT FROM ELSTNER.
Carson, March 5, 1895.


EDITOR APPEAL An unbridled can.
dor supported by facts compels me to
assert my disapproval OF your repiti
ton Of the Sacramento Bee applying
these hard words ''Scoundrel or Fool,
to Cleveland or Carlisle. and | move
TO amend by striking out the words
..Scoupdrel or Fool" and inserting
statesman and patriot.
Statesmen and patriots have hereto
fore and after been misrepresenteo
and traduced and it is not surprising
that in these days Of demagoglng that
Cleveland and Carlisle are surviving
the abuse OF demagogues for partisan
purposes.
Persons with unprejudiced minds
who have observed the Juggling OF
New York bankers with the United
States Treasury from 1870 to March 4,
1898, excepting the period between
March 4. 1885 and March 5, 1889, and
understand the condition Of the Treas
urv and the character Of currency and
become familiar with the agreement
under which the late issue OF bonds
were sold, will vote to adopt the pro-
posed amendment.
With $500, Co., 900 Of Rreenbacks and
,reasury notes in the hands OF New
York bankers, the Treasury could
easily be kept issuing bonds forever,
in order to hold the gold reserve. On
the other side the bankers with $500
600 600 OF .. Id mt command could hire
with profit to themselves assistance
in protecting the Treasury and the
credit Of the country, but they have
never evinced q desire other than to
make money out Of the Government
by scheming and handling the Treas
ury as a glazier does his putty. The
mode of dealing with the present
Treasurer, anxiously 10 be adopted 10y

they had long practiced with Other
Treasurers and would be nothing
more or less than an endless use OF
-reenbacks and treasury notes IN pur'

That the bonds were sold at 10y
