The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-02-13


fourth issue became necessary to
keep up the gold reserve. Cleveland
and Carlisle tried to make the same
kind of a deal with the same syndi-
cate that was made in 1895. A Re-
publican Congress did nothing to try
to stop it, though the Republicans
kicked up a most Internal din be-
cause the Democrats didn't stop the
deal of 1895. But the depth Of rascal
ty and scandal and the unutterable
righteousness of this secret scheming
was a little too much fer even rabid
bondrats and goldbugs to submit to,
and they raised such a low over it
that Cleveland and Carlisle actually
became afraid to carry out their
scheme, and then they had the au
dacious effrontery to deny that they |
ever thought of such thing.
Now, it will be remembered that
in the secret deal they sold bonds |
for 1.O4, and the reason given by
Carlisle was that it was feared that
if bids were asked for publicly, there
would not be enough bids to take all
the bonds offered, and that the credit
of the government would be dam
aged. He actually declared that
the country was Eat the mercy OF
the bankers"
With snQrts of disappointment
these bond contractors we're practi-
cally forced to ask for bids for the
last bonds. They predicted that the
bonds could not be sold that way.
They offered one hundred million
and when the bids were opened on
February 5th, it was found that there
were 4,64O bids aggregating five
hundred and fifty-eight millions of
dollars, and not a bid was as low as
the price at which the bonds we're
sold in the secret deal. In fact the
very bankers who got the whole
batch of bonds at 104 in the SECRET
DEAL, offered to take the whole one
hundred millions of the present issue
at ITO by PUBLIC BID. If this fact
does not brand the Cleveland-Car-
lise bond contracting company as a
set of scoundrels and thieves, then
plain and indisputable evidence can
not impose such a brand.

They have been prevented from

ing their chops over when they
thought they could work another

The pluto press is making grea

ment on account of the fact that s.
many bids were received. By thi
