to ten times in value over the original
contract. A reputation of every
principal of honor" between debtor
and creditor by the monied class-such
sycophants as the present leaders of the
Republican party has served in the
past; and now proposes to serve again,
by asking the men who periled life to
save the Union from dismemberment,
to vote for the continuance of bond
slavery upon themselves, their chill
drens children, and the industrial
masses of our countrymen, who, by their
labor produce all real wealth and pay
all debts, a policy Of dishonor towards
all debtors as black as any conspiracy
against justice ever born in Hades-

die of millions against the men who
made the bonds worth the paper print

party has manipulated with view to
extend national bank bondage" over
the American people-supplemented
with it's manipulation of the value of
gold through it's '.demnnetizing crime"
