ers and extortioners. There are more
churches to-day worshiping God on a
gold basis than there are on Christ
basis. We willing take OF our hat to
D disciple Of true Christianity and bow
with reverence to the DEGREES Of Deity,
but when we see cOwardly, fawning,
lying sycophant, pandering to the
DEVILS gold gang, we have no language
adequate to express our contempt.
At the republican state convention
in Kentucky, Rabbi Adolph Moses, Of
the Temple Adas Israel, offered
prayer, from which we take the follow
ing extract:
'The eyes Of the whole nation are In
this hour turned with anxious expecta-
ton upon this assembly, for a fatal de-
fusion has taken possession Of numbers
Of the American people. National dis
honesty is by many held to be national
wisdom. Debasement Of the coin Of the
land, 1t is believed, will insure our
cOuntry's prosperity. Dense ignorance,
reckless selfshness, overVaunting greed
have perverted the judgment Of hun
dreds Of thousands in the land. False
prophets have arisen, corruptors Of the
peoples heart and mind.
"They call evil good. Breach Of faith
with individuals and nations they COM
mend as highest public virtue. They
laugh to scorn the worlds experience.
The wisdom of the wise is folly in their
eyes.
20! Lord, dire disaster is threaten
ing the American people. National
bankruptcy and individual ruin, the
misery and degradation Of those who
work for hire are lying in ambush. We
beseech, Thee, protect the American
people from the errors and wiles Of
those who would lure it from the path
of honesty and safety.
MAY the delegates here assembled
speak out in no uncertain tones for
national honesty. May they declare in
clarion notes that there shall be no
false weights and false measures, no
fraud and no breach of faith In the
land Of Washington and Lincoln. May
they give assurance to the whole coun-
try that battle will be fought in this
state, not for the petty interests Of
party, nor for the gains Of office, but
for national honesty, faith and pros
perity. May they enunciate such prin-
ciples Of government and public hon
esty that all good men and true may
be drawn toward them and join them
to ward of danger and labor with them
for the common good"
1t was perfectly proper that the re-
publicans should have Jew to open
their convention with prayer. None
but a representative Of the race Of
Rothschilds could do justice to the oc-
casiOn. We would like, however, to
remind Mr. Moses that he does not
seem to hold the same financial Views
which Holy Writ accords to his illus
trious namesake. When that gentle
man came down from Mt. Sinai, fresh
from the presence of God, and saw
his deluded followers dancing around
an idol Of gold, he became so angry
that he let fall the tables Of stone
on which were written the new laws.
He not only demolished their golden
idol, but he actually rallied an army
Of the sons Of Levi and put to death
about three thousand Of the gold bugs;
we presume as an example Of the JUS
tice which should overtake all such
foolish worshipers for all time to
come. It is not question as to what
the Rothschilds and a few financial
pirates thing about the honor and
credit Of this nation, but what honest
men think.
Any sensible man knows that an
honest dollar Is the dollar Of the con-
tract, and all the legislation in this
country from 1892 until now has recog-
nized both gold and silver as honest
money, with the exception Of the de-
monetization acts passed by republic
an congress and President in 1873, and
a democratic congress and President
In 1893. If Rabbi Moses knows any
thing about finance he knows that
gold is the usurer's lever of oppression
and the DEVILS gabhook. The trouble
with Rabbi Moses and most other
preachers is, that the devil has this
grabhook fastened to their love Of ease
and desire for popularity. And the
Rabbits prayer will make him popular,
both In hell and on earth, with the
republican party and with the devil.
The last resort Of tyrants before
force is used, is the church and the
courts, and that position seems to have
been reached by the gold gang. Many
American people will be surprised that
the devil is so strongly intrenched in
both, but it has always been so. The
church prayed for the perpetuatlon Of
chattel slavery as 1t is now praying
for the perpetuation of debt slavery,
and the court gave US the bred Scott
decision as 1t has recently the income
tax and the Debs decisions. The
church has espoused the cause Of ty-
rants and burned honest men and
women at the stake. The courts gave
Christ to the cross, and John Brown
to the scaffold. If the church was do
ing its duty 1t would not be arrayed
