WILMINGTON. n C.. March IA, 60
The condition OF affairs at this criti-
cal time should be studied by men
OF all classes, and while many of us
readily say We take no stock in the
great fight that is now gong on be-
tween the producers OF wealth on
one side, and the drones or gamblers
in wealth, after it is produced, on
the other side, yet, if we are friends
of humanity and have the fatherly
love for the future welfare of our
families and friends,
TITS AS MUCH OUR DUTY
to assist in maintaining just laws,
as it is to look after the welfare Of
our families. We know it would be
folly in any father or brother to pro-
duce large crops and then leave his
barn doors open and let his stock 60
in and waste what he has toiled so
hard to make for his family and
friends to enjoy. Not to take any
part in the economic question that
| governs him is as bad as not to take
care of his product after he has
made it.
AS the money that We have in cir
culation represents the price Of our
labor, lands, product, etc., it be-
hooves US to look as closely after the
| QUANTITY OF HONEST MONEY
we have in circulation as it does TO
look after the quantity of produce
We raise. One is about as import
ant as the other, and the people
would soon see this, if they were not
deluded by the false teachings of
subsidized press and bought politi-
clans, who are selected (privately)
by the money gamblers and elected
by strict partisans. Can we expect
anything better until we vote for
our own interests' When the money
power controls any party it is
curse upon the people if that party
is in the majority, and as the people
compose these corrupt parties they
are to be blamed, and they are those
that heap Goals upon their own
heads.
There is plain issue now before
the people-one that is not
BACKED BY THE POLITICIANS,
for they are the principal fighters of
this movement. 1t is the people
who are leading this, their cause,
and while We have the professed pol
itician and his master, the money
gamblers, arrayed on one side we
have seven eighths of the people on
the other side; and if the people will
not let the deceptive henchmen Of
the money power divide them, and
we vote together for relief We can
have victory and our wrongs can
be righted. When we see the wicked
designs of Cleveland and the inten-
tions of the national banks, by mort
gaging all our property, future Ia
Dor, etc., it is time for US to see that
we have been voting for
SOME ONE ELsE's INTEREST LONG
| ENOOVd,
and now vote for our own interest,
and acquit ourselves like men.
1t was we'll known by the Wal
street gamblers that this country
would never have to borrow money
as long as silver was coined and
used for final payments by the gov
ernment, and knowing that the
bonds, upon which the nationa
banks were founded, would soor
mature, and in order to get futur.
lease upon the throats of the Ameri
can people, and to secure NOR
bonds, Cleveland, who is their faith
full servant, called an extra session
of Congress and recommended the
: CLOSING OF MINTs TO SILVER,
(the money of the masses), and tn
. issuing of FIVE hundred million nor
= of bonds. and thus the greatest bat
tie of modern times was fought-th
money power Of the world arraye'
- on one side and the people of thi
Z country on the other, while tn
q money power succeeded in stoppin,
= the coinage of silver, they did no
succeed in saddling upon the peopl
u the FIVE hundred million interest
- bearing bonds. Yet, determined t
e have these bonds, and in order t
- get them in defiance of the wishes O
i the people, they keep depicting tn
y treasury of its gold to give excus
| for the government to borrow NOR
- gold for which we give our notes
;s These notes are called governmer
- bonds.
