FREE SILVER.

1t is now admitted by most of
our leading dailies-even some Of
the gold-bug organs-that silver
as money is gaining ground, not
only in the United States but even
in the undisputod territory of the
Rosthchilds-Great Britain.
Any proposition favoring bonds
payable in coin has been rejected
by 10th. branches of congress,
while bonds payable in gold only
have been overwhelmingly defeat
ed in these Legislative bodies.
Legislation authorizing the free
coinage of silver, has been defeat
ed in congress only by the filibus-
tering tactics of a minority that Is
rapidly dwindling to insignifcance.
A few days ago Senator Dolph,
of Oregon, an ardent gold-bug, was
defeated for reelection, notwith-
standing he had caucus nomina-
ton of the dominant party in his
legislature, and his successor-Sen-
ator Mcbride, was elected as a free
silver advocate.
The cablegrams from England
in giving the results of the cleo
tions there, for members of par
lament, show that in almost every
instance free silver advocates have
been selected. and it is believed
that the general election next year
viii give an overwhelming majori-
ty for silver in the House of Com
mons.
The cause of this revolution of
sentiment, or rather reassertion of
the public will, isattributable alone
to educational influences, the bitter
school of experience furnishing its
quota.
But in the United States the
painstaking and untiring efforts of
writers and speakers have contrib
utcd no little to the changes that
are now manifesting themselves in
the shape of new political parties,
and the shelving of old barnacles.
and the bringing forward of new,
healthy, vigorous blood into the
body polite.
Prominent among these writers
and speakers, and we might say
ninety per cent of the leaders, are
the founders and supporters of the
Peoples party.
These have not worked for sill
yer per sc, but for cheaper money

Why didn't he give a chance to
the other buyers, besides the syn

Why did he make Carlisle steal
away to New York, and make the
sale of this enormous lot of bonds
on the sly.
Why did he hide the fact that he
had sold the bonds to the clients OF
his law-frm, and had, by written
agreement, given them the refusal
of all other bonds that will be is

Charles the First lost his head
for attempts against the liberties
of his people which were not more
fatal in their Tenderness than the
lawless proceeding by which Cleve-
land has revolutiOnized the long
established financial system of this
Republic, wrecked its industries,
emptied its national treasury, and
beggared its people.
Not content with destroying the
present generation he reaches out
to enchain the generation to come.
By deciding that ''coin" means
gold only, he has violated the law
and outraged common sense.
BY deciding that a legal discre-
ton to pay silver notes in either
silver or gold, means that they
must be paid in gold only, he has
trampled on the statute and mock
ed the people.
By deciding that the way to sus-
tain the public credit was to in
crease the government expenses
and the national debt, he has inso-
lently broken every pledge he and
his party ever made to the people,
and has insulted the conscience and
the intelligence of every respecta-
BILE citizen.
In making a secret and shameful
bargain with his law partner, by
means of which the syndicate COM
posed of his law-frm's clients gets
a 80 year mortgage upon all the
vast wealth of the Union, at ten
millions less than it was worth in
the open market, he has committed
an act of vulgar, commonplace,
greedy and brutal dishonesty-an
act which would put behind the
bars any railroad president or fac
tory president, who would have
dared thus to plumber, through his
law firm, the business interests
committed to his care.
Why should not Grover Cleve-
land be impeached for high crimes
and misdemeanors!

p. P. PAPER.
The law-frm of Grover Cfeye-
land is doing the finest business
ever done on this continent.
The Rothschilds selected as their
copartners in the great bond deal,
the Wall Street banking house of
Drexel, Morgan & Co.
Cleveland's law-firm are the reg
uIar attorneys of the last named
gentlemen, and therefore it was
the most natural thing in the world
for the bond deal to be made
through Francis l.. Stetson, the
law partner of Grover Cleveland.
BY a secret contract wherein all
competitive bidding was rendered
impossible, Stetson bought from his
PAL tner, Cleveland, S62, 4OO,0 900 at
about SO, 100000 less than regular
market price.
Cleveland, as President of the
United States, sold the bonds, and
the Rothschilds syndicate bought
them.
Thus one partner, acting as Pres
ident of the people, played into
the hands of the other partner
acting as lawyer for the Roths-
childs and the Morgans and Bel
mounts.
Ten million dollars were lost by
the people in this astounding tran
sactiOn.
How much did partner Stctson
getl
And how much did partner
Cleveland get!
Cleveland, Stetson & Co. were
the lawyers; Morgan, Rothscilds,
Belmont & Co. were the clients;
Taxpayer, Producer & Co. were
the victims.
Belmont is a national banker of
New York and has served the dear
old democratic party in various dis
tinguished capacities.
Drexel, Morgan & Co. are the
Wall Street fnanciers who have
been buying up all the Southern
railways, and consolidating them
into one gigantic Trust in violation
of law.
The Rothchilds are the eminent
financiers who are worth upwards
of 50, 1000, 900, and who hold
mortgages, in shape of bonds, on
almost every valuable piece of ter
ritory in tho world.
Cleveland Stetson & Co. have
now(mortgaged the United States
to these European money-kings,
and for thirty years we are to pay
them tribute.
In open market the 80 year per
cent bonds are worth at least 119.
By secret contract Cleveland &
Stetson the lawyers sold them for
104.
Here is net gain of about S10,-
100000 made without any expense
or delay-just ''picked up in the
road"
Do you believe Cleveland would
have sold these bonds at so much
less than their market value, unless
he had some share in the bootya
The 4 per cent bonds of the ne
gro colony of Jamaica are worth
Ill. Cleveland sold ours at 1O4.
The poor negroes, being untu-
tored and semi-barbarous, have not
learned the Democratic method of
doing business, hence their bonds
sell higher than ours.

Editor POPULIsT:
When the leading papers begin
to see that great wrong has been
done and is being persisted in,
when they can see and understand
the nature of the wrong and iden-
tify the perpetrators, and the mo-
tive, and when, having made these
discoveries, they show a DISPOSE
ton to condemn and call to an &C
counting, then have we some en-
couragement to hope.
The comments of the Times
Democrat OH my letter on "Agri-
cultural depression" and on a CON-
munication from ''silver," "The
question of the day" give us to I'M
derstand that that paper appreci-
ates the situation and is enlisted
with us to effect a change.
But what have we to go through
before the old order is restOredf
Such ruin cannot be wrought and
undone in a day. The T. d. justly
says that it will require years of
the most favorable conditions to
restore the country to where it was
only a few years ago.
The men who have perpetrated
this great crime against this people
have not done it unwittingly.
Twenty years ago John G. Carlisle
denounced the business he is now
engaged in, the destruction of sill
yer, as the greatest crime ever per-
petrated against the human race;
but the power of gold is great, too
great, The interests of the few
powerful and great, who have put
ont gold bonds must be protected
though the nation dies.
"SiIver" asks very pertinentIy,
twill the people be fool enough to
SUBMIT"
Yes, if we are TO follow the co,in-
sci of men like w. w. Stone, presi-
nent of the Mississippi cotton
growers who says that though a
change might benefit MS 'sthe COM
mon people cannot force change"
Either Mr.. Stone knows nothing
about law. aud the first principals
of human government, or he is at
the head Of the NJ. q. q. A. not in
the interests of the great class he
pretcnds to represent.
Does not every intelligent citizen
know that governments are insti-
tuted for the benifit Of the great
masses governed and that when
government fails of the ends of its
beng, then the people have certain
inalienable rights, rights that
spring from the law of selfpreser.
vatiouf And our form of govern
ment is exempt from the application
Oftliis rule
i have said that these men are
not forcing these conditions on us
unwlttingly. They know what
they are doing and they propose
that we shall stand it. Every f.
nancier knows that prior to the
denomination of silver, credit
money had been issued upon it, as
a money of ultimate redemption up
to its full carrying capacity, and
know that the foundation could
not be destroyed without wrecking
the whole superstructure of bust
ness, values, credit and all based
upon it. But to make credit with
England and induce English gold,
and for the benifit of the few, all
this ruin must be wrought, and
ssthe common people must stand
it, will they stand i'll Are the
conditions such that our govern
ment can now afford to temporize
with this vital question:
Has not Senator Jones made a
mistake in consentlng to a post
