The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-06-06

The Chamber of Commerce of the
city Of New York comes to the front
to "save the South" That Chamber
sends out an address to Southern
people. 1t says it was born in 1886,
and is old enough to know what it
is talking about. Then it begs the
Southern people to stand firm for
the gold standard. This Oh amber
OF Commerce is part of Wall Street.
The men who sign the address are
bankers, members of trusts, specula-
tors, monopolists, gamblers sc. and
there is nothing else among the
signers.

So the English people will stick to
the gold standard. Will the moss
backs now come forward and say the
United States can't have free silver
because England won't have iti
These old mossbacks have been talk
ing international agreement" and
monetary conferences" and such
for a long time. No man of any
sense was ever deceived by this
twaddle. These little schemes have
been worked by the manipulators for
the purpose of misleading and de-
ceiving the people; and to tell the
truth the people have allowed them
selves to be deceived too long.

The Office holders are beginning to
get in their work. They managed
to prevent the Kansas Democratic
executive committee from passing
free coinage resolutions. Look out
for more Democratic capers of this
KIND. King Growers law is supreme
among Democrats, though they may
talk the other way. Look out! or
they'll throw sand in your eyes.
That's just what they intend to do

The Gold Defenders club of
England has written a memorial to
The Queens Minister of France in
which they say:
"The experience of nearly eighty
years has convinced us that this sys-
TEN is in every respect suited to our
wants, and that under it the CONNER
cial supremacy Of Great Britain and
the financial ascendancy of London
have been established and maintained"
Why, of course! This club is
composed of the Jew syndicates and
bankers to whom Grover Cleveland
recently sold United State bonds at
1O43 that are now selling for 1924.
Of course they are convinced
that ''this system (gold) Is in every
respect suited to our wants." We've
known that long time. But the
great people have wants. The peo-
pie make nation-a government.
Let these Jew syndicates and bank
ers tell what kind of system will
suit the peoples wants.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-06-06

Mr.. Gustave H. Schwab, who is
chairman of the committee of the
New York Chamber of Commerce,
which is begging the Southern peo-
pie to stand by gold, says:
"The committe hold that they rep
resent not only the New York business
man who can protect himself and make
money on silver basis, as we'll as a
gold basis, but the interests of the
wage Garner, the laborer, the factory
baud, and the savings bank depositor,
who cannot protect himself against
the avarice OF the silver mine owners"
Whooey! Whoopse!! Ye-oo-ee!!!
Let her 60 Gallagher! Let the lion
roar and the eagle scream! Let the
grateful people fall down and kiss the
dirt on which Schwab stands, for
he wants to protect the people from
the "avarice of silver miners"
Whoa! cath 'er JulyV But if this
league of liars would propose to pro-
tect the people from 'the avarice of
gold Miners" we would give regu-
lar, genuine, rebel whoop for them
sure enough. 81
