of the two old parties. They are both
getting so cornered they are at loss
where to turn. The republicans are just
now depending on shortage in the rev.
enues to secure a standing before the
people, with large amount of bluff and
brag thrown in. They claim that lack
of revenue to meet the expenses of gov
eminent is the sole cause of the gold
being drawn out of the Treasury by the
presentation of greenbacks. This claim
will not bear examination, and yet the
democrats are so demorolized they do not
attempt to meet so finsy an argument.
The republicans, meeting with no de-
NAL from their opponents, proceed to
condemn the Wilson tariff and assert if
the Mckinley tariff was in operation
there would be no difficulty in keeping
that sacred fetish-$Ioo, 900, 900 gold-in
the Treasury. The truth is that the same
means by which the gold is drawn out
would still exist. The gold gamblers
who draw it out are not concerned about
the revenue which comes into the Treas
ury by means of tariff. Whether there is
sufficient to defray expenses of govern
ment or not is no concern of theirs. They
want all the government bonds issued it
is possible to force or bride Cleveland and
Carlisle to issue or sell, and they have
discovered the most direct and easy way
to accomplish this is to carry greenbacks
and treasury notes to the sub-treasury
and demand gold. AS soon as the gold
is drawn down thirty or forty millions
Cleveland begins to prepare to issue more
bonds.
If twice the amount of revenue was
coming into the Treasury the case would
not be altered. The gold sharks would
want bonds and they have learned how
to get them.
The object of the republican leaders
and goldbug newspapers is to cajole the
public into the belief that higher tariff
would stop the bond issue and get the
old tariff racket before the country in the
next Presidential campaign, to the exclu-
sion of all else, and then the two old
Rothschild parties would expect to have
good time thrashing over their old
straw. The people have been fooled with
this shell game, we believe, as often as
they mean to be and it's going to fail.
Nothing is doing i'll Congress but plan
ming for this object. The republicans
could stop Cleveland's infamous bond
dickers at any moment if they chose, but
it is as plain as the sunlight at IL O'Clock
on clear June day that Reed, who has
entire control of the House, is in as full
accord with Cleveland, ]. P. Morgan and
the Rothschilds as Sherman, who leads
republicans and goldbug democrats of the
the Senate, i'll selling the country to this
piratical gang of Wall and Lombard
streets. They are depending on this
gang of gamblers for money to buy their
way through the next campaign in the
fall of 90.
Holland" the New York correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Press, throws
some very instructive flash lights on the
designs and influences which move the
old parties. In speaking of what occurred
at meeting of the Democratic National
Committee, "Holland' said:
'If the Tanmany delegation which ap-
peared before the committee did not get
what they wanted, they certainly got
some very important information. For
in some way it was conveyed to them that
if Mr.. Cleveland is not himself to be the
candidate-and they are persuaded now
that he does not intend to be-he has de-
termined that the candidate shall be as
he has been since 1864, an Eastern man,
a hard money Democrat, and that he
shall be identified with the present
Administration"
1t is said that Mr.. Olney is to be Mr..
Cleveland's choice, as he is the choice of
Wall street and all the great combines
and corporations
HOLLAND" goes on to shed more light
on the democratic situation and says:
"a third reason why the leaders here
preferred some other city than New York
for the National Convention) was one
which was suggested by Senator Hill.
For, however much New York may be
despised by politicians i'll other parts, it is
to considerable extent upon the contri-
buttons of New York men of wealth that
either party depends for campaign funds.
Senator Hill, it was thought, was right in
his suggestion that money which was
subscribed to pay the expenses of the
convention would be subtracted from the
campaign contributions Democrats here
may contemplate giving"
This is plain declaration as we'll as
natural sequence, that those who furnish
the money mean to name the democratic
candidate, and that choice is to be an
eastern goldbug of the Cleveland stripe.
1t is plain if the above information is
placed with the do nothing policy of
Congress, that two Rothschild goldbug
candidates are to be nominated by the old
parties and the banking monopoly will
depend on the power of their money to
buy and coerce the West and South. III
they fail in their efforts to do this, the
entire gold bank power of the country
will be concentrated on the republican
candidate, and trust to the democratic
dummy candidate to hold as many silver
votes as possible from going to the Peo-
pies party candidate. Failing to be able
to elect by popular choice the second
