peclaIIy pleased to quote from the

pecially pleased to quote from the
New York Herald the following:
"To-day the country is menaced
by the danger of reckless silver fanat-
icism, which strikes at the welfare
OF the people, the prosperity of busi-
ness and the credit and good name
of the Government abroad as we'll as
at home. Silverism must inevita-
bly, bring in it's trail financial chaos
and national disaster. In the face
of such a danger there should be no
Democrats and no Republicans
There should be no parties save that
which is for the country and that
which is against it. If the Demo
cratic party is deluged by the tidal
wave of silverism at Chicago, sound
money Democrats and Republicans
must then unite against the COM
mon foe of silverites, Populists and
demagogues, whose rule means ruin.
Save the country from these enemies
first, as it was saved in 1876, and
then 1t will be time to think of party
ties"
| have given these extracts and
referred again to the conspiracy in
which Mr.. Carlise was SO prominent,
pledgtng the conspiratOrs that Mr..
Cleveland would approve their act
OF bringing on a panic to force the
repeal of the Sherman law, in order
that the readers of the Sun may see
exactly what is proposed by the
money power of this country in case
the suffering people appear at the
ballot-boX and overthrow their
scheme of absorbing the entire
wealth of the country by apprecia-
ting gold, until those who have it
4 boarded and have securities paya-
bic in gold will practically possess
the country.
The Wall street circular does not
hesitate to let the country know that
Wall street is not going to wait until
the people of the United States de-
Z. eide the question, though Wall
street would have complete remedy
even after the people had decided
silver, but "the near prospect of the
} authorization Of free coinage, a
counting of heads showing GER
tainty of a twO-thirds vote in the
House and Senate for l6 to l., would
evoke in Wall street the kind of con-
ditions that no Congress has ever
yet dared to disregard, and the cause
of free coinage would be overthrown
at the moment when its success
seemed most certain. 1t is this re-
served power on which Wall street
is now reposing.
Wall street is now reposing on its
ability-its reserved power-to over
throw with it's money the Govern
ment. When heads are counted,
: and it is found the people have sent
Representatives and Senators suffi-
cient to re-establish silver as pri-
mary money. Yes, when Wall street
sees that the people have two-thirds
of the Senate and House, Wall street
is going to put to the peoples repre-
'sentatives such conditions as no Con-
, gress has ever dared to disregard.
= This is the gang of traitors and
4 bribers that say Tillman is not par
liamentary when he talks about
! them; that he uses rough language
t Every single rascal of them that
r approves this circular ought to be
: handcutfed and sent off to the White
, Nile, and there is no other Govern
7 ment in the world where they would
not be punished for contemplating
a and teaching treason.
No Congress has in the past with
4 stood their money and no Congress
! will, and thus they repose in Sc.
l curity.
n This means one of three things
{: 1t means to buy up Congress OF tC
g threaten them with another panic
P like the one they brought in foul
y days after the conspiracy at the
d house of George Williams in 1893; Ol
+ it means, as the Herald points out
; to clean up the silver people as the
: South was cleaned up and the cOun
g try saved, 1861 to 1865.
$ Turn back and read this infamous
: article from the Herald, copied with
o approving smiles by the Banner.
g Wall street with its money to hire
:, men to do its fighting is going tt
| give the silver crazy people of the
II South and West the same kind o
,, arguments it gave the South 1861 tC
u 1855.
q Thank the Lord, the West will bt
e with the South in any attempt at us
j., urpation by this substitute hiring
!! gang Of Wall street.
q Treating this Congress-buying anC
substitute-hiring crowd, that openly
e talks about usurpation and whC
/ openly declares that it will cOrrup
n Congress with money or drive then
! out by force (for it means one o.
the other) with the contempt which
o their threats deserve, and with tn,
n scorn which their corruption merits
y it may, nevertheless, be truly sale
u that they would not hesitate a mo
u ment to involve the country in wa
u or reduce the laboring people to star
IL vation rations, rather than restOr
q property to its former status as com
l. pared with money. The country i
j rapidly coming to see what thi
q power means and how desperate /
It Is. But Wall street may rest as
Is sured of one thing, the South ant
e West are not going to lose any sleel
t. by the threats of gang of silk
y stocking bullies. A. S. G.
