SARCASTIC!
A Third Term for Grover.-The Worship of
Gold.
Editor Representative:
= DEAR sSEr-The third term possibility"
iii my opInfon, is desired by the United
States as. well as in England, France and
Germany; In my opinion. as well as Mr..
Cleyelands, he is a necessity to the pres
ent conditions of the world. No president
has ever been more sensitive to foreign
courtesy and diplomacy; and never have
such strides been made under any admin
1stration as have been made under Cleve-
land in our own country He has pointed
out as no other president ever did. that
over-production is the cause of our suffer-
1ng'-that we are poor because we have
too much Of everything-wheat, oats,
corn, houses and live stock; and on ac-
count of these indispensable necessities,
the country is going to ruin. 1t is now
evident to every thinking man that the
world has been wrong since it has been
inhabited by man on the question of
wealth. 1t is received fact by all tyrOs
that gold only is the real wealth of the
world, and any one who has followed the
utterances of Mr.. Cleveland cannot resist
the force of his arguments, the cearness
of diction; for his logic is based upon the
richest thought in this and foreign coun-
tries-they carry conviction. Mr. Cleve-
dared to do. revolutionized the esta blished
opinions of the world on wealth, by TAX
ing it out of all the productions of labor
and placing it in the single production
gold. 1t is now discovered to be a fact
in nature that the products of mines is
the real wealth of the world, and has the
supremacy over every other kind of pro-
duce, and soon man, in search of the real
substance of life, will be metamorphosed
into fossorial animals. There are men
who do not understand Mr.. Clevelands
policy; but is Mr.. Cleveland responsible
for the minds of the imbecile? To this
class especially I recommend third term.
No man in the great United States will
stimulate the unthinking so much, with
out question. as will Mr.. Cleveland. Rev.
| to reach the brain of such individuals is
| through their stomachs." Mr.. Cleve-
| lands policy will starve men into thought
| as nothing else will. 1t is strange that
| there are yet men who do not under
| stand sound money" honest dollar,
| and like phrases, SO closely defined by
| Mr.. Cleveland and his proxy, Carlisle, dis
| cussed at length and repeated over and
over; but that there are is a fact. When
we look into man and his history, it will
plainly be seen that Mr.. Cleveland is
| simply reviving customs or superstitions
| which have been in vogue since man has
| existed and believed in the marvellous, the
| impossible, and allowed himself to be fed
| with phantoms. Our savage ancestors,
| out of block of wood, hewed a god, i'm
| bued it with occult qualities, before which
| they Frustrated themselves. The Whida
| negroes worship serpents; the Ashantees
| in South America, crocodiles; and the
/ Caffres, elephants. In all ages and coun-
! tries men have cut each others threats
| because of such horrid practices, not be-
| cause of the inherent nature In man to
| worship, but because of the diversity of
choice Of the repulsive objects of the diff
| erent superstitiOnS-sO every intelligent
| man will pray the return to third term
| Of the propounder and defender of this
| occult quality in gold, upon which all the
! different or various forms of fetichiSm
can unite.
Think of the great stride in the social
and religious world! An American bank
president and the slave Of superstition can
go to the temple Of gold, founded by
| Grover, PROSTATE themselves before the
image one praying for food and clothing,
the other for the powers that be. to make
it imperative, before his neighbor can en-
joy the fruits of his labor and receive
the objects of his necessity, he must bor-
row the gods of him. of which he has to
spare, at slight cost, and without hurt
ing his creed. Cleveland has made 1t
possible for a. foreign bondholder and a
Whida negro to join hands, PROSTATE
themselves before yellow metal chlseleo
into a good dollar, imbued with occult
qualities, known and defined as "intrin-
Sic" inherent" without the presence OF

The savage crawls on hands and knees
to the reptile he worships and implores
it for food and clothing. We. the people

production everywhere, crawl on hands
and knees to foreign power, issue bond:

It is ordained, some how, chat all mon
