when he k ready to assert the "DIvIne right of lsw-created wealth to plunGer the poor.


 8 When you were about to put upon the property of the people sl0o, 900 600 mortgage last winter, acting upon your advice to the people. you called into your councils certain experts Messrs. Morgan, Belmont, Rothchilds & Co.. to advise you. You accepted this advice i've are bound. Tn the absence of proof to the co itrary, to admit, honestly, even If we are forced to do so at the expense of your sanity. and they pocketed about s11 ,OOO of the peoples money as the price of their expert" advice.
 4 When about to put upon the people an- other mortgage few weeks since you called to your councils one of these same "experts, Mir. J. Pie pont Morgan, and the newspapers of New York say be has on file in vour ofice two letters. one advising you to sell bonds at l04, and another offering himself to buy these same bonds, n competition. at a bout s7 900 900 more than he advised you to take. 5. It was under the advice of experts" that our government issued her 1rst bonds, sold them to the same "experts" for greenhasc<s de- preciated to 40 cents on the dollar and aftsy- ward instead of paying them in the same kind Of currency with which they were bought, they were made by "expert" advised law payable In coin in violation of their contract with the l taxpayers and at their expense By thls one act, these experts" plundered the people of about OooO0,000. and when the people con- plain they are denounced as thieves and dis honest knaves. who would rob their creditors 6 Not satisfied with the amount of punder these same experts" procured the establish ment Of the national banking system under which one of these "experts" with $40 900 in gold could purchase e100.000 worth Of bonds receive per cent. interest in gold on them ana nave donated to him s90 0o0 Of currency by the government to be loaned out on his own private account, thus increasing his wealth y75 per cent not by honest toll, but by expert" Legislation.
 2 It was under the advice of these same experts and by means of the same kind of corrupt law that they afterward again doubled their wealth by curtaihng the supply of metallic money by oue-halt in 1873 thus in- creasing their wealth $50 per cent by sheer legislation from 1864 to 1873
 6. Experts" who are so fruitful of excuses calmly tell the people that the existing condi- .ioh or low prices and appropriating money and deots are the results of overproouction Of course, we must admit that "experts" really believe this for they are accustomed to believe anything, however false or foolish. which IS to thelr interests to believe But the census reports brand this as another false- hood
 MT. Cleveland. you and your expert" asso- clates labor under the mistake that you can Tool the people all the time. Your mistake would be mdicrous If it were not pregnant with
 
 cuss because shudder to contemplate
 Have ever, king clergy and nobility in Eu- rope or the orient plundered a people more ruthlessiy (however much more extensively under the guise of law than our own ''experts' to whose tender care you so considerably con- mend the American people?
 In the state Of Illinois alone the farmers ana iaoorers have suffered loss during the last de- cade Of an amount equal to the growth of her cities plus s5e GOO GOO and during tho last year from 1893 to lss4, of s24 900 OOo total loss of s5s3 ,01o000.
 And tell you that this means that they ara unaoIe to purchase or consume goods by this large amount in one single state. If you cur tail demand you necessarily curtail supply. for nooody will produce if they can not sell If you curtall supply you necessarily curtail labor ana machinery engaged in making this supply So your Coxey armies of tramps and your smoKeless factories are the logical necessary inevitable result of the expert" Legislation of the past 25 years.
 But Mir. Cleveland. a parting word of admo- hitlon. You and the holders of these stolen mlllions-none the less stolen because wrunp rom patient people under the forms of law would do well not to forget that lesson of his- tory. whom the gods wish to destroy they nrst make mad" am, with great respect for your once, W.
