TREASURY GUARDING
British Bankers Have Proved Too
Much for the People.
A LONG RECORD OF TREACHERY
The Judases Who Have Betrayed the
the People-How the English Gold
Party Thwarted the People.

Two English bankers having ba2ped
$40, 900, 900 Of United States gold be
cause of their willingness to buy $685.
600, 900 OF United States bonds auxl to
protect the peoples treasury for a few
months, 1T might reasonably be supposed
that they had had enough of a good
thing. But this seems to have been
merely IN the nature Of TASTE The two
bankers have smaclzed their lips over it
and their opinion seems to be Shat lit
tie more wo1ld do ne harm.
Consequently thes have surrendered
them contra1 of the treasury and left the
way clear for their hrethren to rush into
the treasury and cart away the gold.
just at present Hhere is q lull in this
business, but we may be sure that the
treasury will be again raitled whenever
the foreign bankers think that the time
has como for them to rake in a few nerse
millions.
| The performance of the two British
bankers in "gIarding" the treasury has
proved too much. 1t has proved that "a
few tinancieTs are able to corner all the
available gold in this country and in
London, and in that way control the eek
change market. From February to Sep
temker the syndicate performed this
feat, and itlis feat that ought TO- open
the@yes OF the peQple to the ability of
the money power ito manipulate the
available money supply of this country
to Hts own profit and to the 2oss ,of those
who prodnce the wealth of themountry.
an the face of the SO called "sprosper-
1ty' which the people are now said to
beenjoyilg, it isAsafe to say that we are
on the eve of some very interesting de-
vRlopments. Conmolssr.
How shas the English gold party
managed to prevent the American peo-
p3e frona repeating the infame0s law of
Rh73 an6 restoring silver to its place as
"a money metal, as provided in the con-
stitution? When the crime of 1878 was
tirst discovered. which was about two
years after the passage of the act, the
press; and the people We're almost unani-
imousl II xin favor of repeating the infa-
unous Law. The anly possible way that the
repealasould lhave been prevented and
,ls now prevented was and us through
the treacheryeef the representatives of
the people and the executive of the ma
ton. The great mass of the voters were
led ito luz lieve,that the politicians were
in favor of the restoration of silver and
voted .fm them ton that suppcsition, but
after election the loaves AMI fishes in
the gold camp always attracted enough
force through executive patronage and
financial accommodation to thwart the |
will of the people.
The infamy Of smuggling hhe mint |
act Through congress, demonetizing sill |
var, is only surpassed by the Hypocrisy
and treachery by which the people have
been prevented from restoring the money
of tke constitutions. If every Democrat !
and Republican who stays in-either of
the old gold parties and talks for silver
would change his tune and talk for
gold, the people would remonetize sill
ver. 1t was Judas who betrayed Christ,
and it lis the ,Judases of the tNo old
parties who have betrayed the people
and crueitied them to enrich gold gam
