The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-12-11

branches secession, treason and rebellion
Powered and matured. The fault is a
grevious one, and cannot be shifted upon
the maternal side of the Democratic
household. Worse still, the leaven of
New England federalism and the solidity
of Henry Clay Whiggerty died with Lin
coins assassination.
Pitiful spectacle Cleveland and Car
Isle posing as pinks of Democracy, and
Sherman and Depew playing horse as Re-
publicans. Their loves are as the loves
Of the son of Jesse and the first kid of
Saul.
If we were to predict that the Buffalo
Fisherman and the Mansfield Financier
(Grover and Johnny, would be found
voting the same national ticket next year,
the prediction would pass as the vapor-
ing fancy Of an idiot. But it is written,
that if Clevelands civil service reform
ers Heayen save the mark, fail to NOM
mate an ut1ar1d-out gold-bug candidate
for the presidency next year, and plat
form the single gold standard as well,
Cleveland will bolt the ticket. The Re-
publicans can be counted upon to favor
the utter destruction of silver as money
metal except for fractional change.
GreenbackS and silver dollars are DOOM
ed! Such is the program; an increase
of the national debt in the sum of $780,
000, 900 is demanded to work the scheme.
CoXey wants that sum, too, for good
roads. Certainly, Cleveland and Coxey
are cOrkerS.
100000 that Secretary Carlisle didn't vote
for Bradley and "agin" Hardin for gov
ernor in the late November contest?
Yours, etc,
WIN. WEIGH.
NOTE-As many of your readers are
great admirers of Mr.. Cleveland, 1 pur-
posely refrain from speaking Of him in
than limo ia Nv
language. He is, in our constellation of
states what the sun is to our planetary
system; in him dwells heat, and life and
light, and motion; he is the commander
in-chief of the army and navy-the chief
of the civil service brigade and the ex-
FOUNDER OF offensive and defensive parti-
zanship; as a financier, he outrivals John
Law. and in provident thrift he initiates
the virtues of Jonathan Wilde. A recur-
renee to his Wall street education may
not be amiss. as it is proposed to call the
attention of congress, at the present ses-
sion, to at least two financial achieve
ments, unparalleled in our history. In
February, 1894, his secretary of the treas
ury, Mr.. Carlisle, placed upon the market
and sold S50,000.000 of ten year five per
cent bonds; the high rate of interest be-
ing one per cent above rates, gave wide
margin for profit to the purchasers these
bonds are not on the market, as we are
advised, but those issued in February,
1895. are. This sale embraced $62,500,o 900
of 80 year four per cent bonds. Now,
mark! the treasurer received above their
face value $4.4S-100th cents; placed on the
London and New York market by the
Rothschild gold syndicate, and they soon
rose to S23 premium on the hundred, be-
ing $1S 52-100ths cents premium above
cost price; or emitting the fraction of
cent, we have clear profit to the syndi-
cate Of ELEVEN MILLIONS TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS! These figures do not lie; yet
they tell an awful tale. In the first loan,
except that the bonds ran but ten years,
we see net profit of $9,000,000 And it
is for this business that it is proposed to
impeach Mr.. Cleveland. Richly he de-
serves it-and not for this alone. Fol
lowing the pernicious example set by
Bent. Harrison in 1892, he has prostituted
the patronage Of his office in coercing
congressional legislation, in packing pop
ular political conventions and debating
platforms. He and Carlisle in the No
vember elections have had foretaste of
what may be expected this year-only to
be intensified.
