To Save the i" Sacred Reserve. "

in New York, Mr.. Dockery proposes to
change the law by inserting st. Louis in
place of New York, and argues that the
expense of sending greenbacks to ST..
Louis and transporting gold back to New
York, where the sharks have their head
quarters, would stop the raids on the
! sacred reserve"
! Mr.. Dockery is doubtless in measure
correct. But there is a much more simple
and effective way. There is about fifty
five million dollars in silver lying idle in
the Treasury there is no paper bills issued
against If the Secretary would notify
the gold sharks that he would pay all
demands for redemption" (swapping)
greenbacks and Sherman 1890 notes, in
silver dollars while this seignorage lasted,
that sacred 500, DOC, 900 of gold would
remain in the sub-treasury undisturbed.
To do this is the plain provision ofthe law.
The silver was paid for with Sherman
notes and certificates, and the order in
the law is that the Treasurer shall have
silver dollars coined to redeem this paper.
Cleveland and Carlisle have piled $780,
600, 900 of debt on the country, which,
with the interest, will amount to $780,
DOC, ooo all because they won't obey this
law If we had an honest Congress both
would be impeached and driven out of
the Offices they disgrace. Or what is
more to the purpose, they would obey the
law. But we haven't an honest Congress.
The controlling majority of Congress
with the President and his Secretary are
in cahoots with the Wall street thieves to
rob the people, who are daily becoming
more sensible of this fact This whole
Cleveland administration i'll its financial
policy has been plot to rob the people.
Harrison commenced it and Cleveland
has faithfully carried it out The plan
was to pay gold for all demands on
the Treasury and never silver. By that
means an increase of the public debt
amounting to $500, 900 has been
created when the interest for thirty years
is added, and there will be no end to this
bond debt increase if the policy is con-
tinued which both old parties are COM
mitted to.
If the simple people value their old
parties above their homes and families
they will continue to vote for them next
November. If they do not they will vote
for the Peoples party and stop the spoil
alton. Not another dollar will be taken
from the peoples pockets and put into
Shylock's silk purse after the Peoples
party is placed in control of the govern
ment, and this worse than internal system
of public plumber will not be stopped
while either Cleveland democracy or
Sherman republication retains vestige
of power. To paraphrase Byron's Giaour:
| mark them well and deem them one
That Americas sons should stay or shun.'
The people are moving. they move
painfully slow it is true, but like the mills
of the gods, they grind exceeding
small" when faily set i'll motion.
With upwards of $500 newspapers and
hundreds of thousands of pamphlets and
books pouring the light on this money
octopus which has devoured the laboring
classes of every dead nation and is slowly
but increasingly sucking the blood of the
people of every modern nation, its final
destruction is surely near after an exist
| fo,- dc
of years.
Its appearance in the present form is
traceable to back, dingv street or alley
in Frank fort-o the Maine where an ex-
priest-pawn-broker did business under the
sign of red shield, in place of the three
gilt balls. This was in the last century.
The pestilence of the present gold basis
system spread from that foul spot.
This Red Shield family, whose
name was Myer, corrupted the name OF
their emblem into Rothschild, and so
successful have they been by taking coun-
sci of the devil, that at the end of this
nineteenth century there are eleven
"barons" representing the heads of the
RED Shield" house. Every one of these
titles of baron has been bought with
il-got gold from the impecunious 'nobil-
ity" of Europe. Every capital i'll Europe
has gold bank presided over by one OF
these "barons." They have loaned their
ill-got gold to the ruling families Of
Europe and received bonds drawing the
substance from the people in the form OF
interest, which is forced from the people
by the armed hand of royalty and nobil-
ity. In Egypt the poor laborers are
driven with the whip to compel them to
work and pay this awful tax. In India
the poor ryot knows nothing but inces-
SAINT toll, howell and the coarsest food
while his earnings are forced from him to
pay interest to this gold monopoly ''red
shield" (Rothschild) fund. In all Europe
the laboring class is ground down to
novels for shelter and husks for food
Mark the results of this red shield" gold
ring trust in the emigrants who reach
these shores from Italy and other money
power cursed countries.
The laboring class, farmers, mechanics
and day laborers are literally eaten up to
contribute of their earnings to this gold
ring monopoly, through the immense
national debts and banking systems ere
ated by this gold basis or gold debt policy,
concocted by the Rothschild pawn broker
