upon 1t hTo depressed and injured. The
EngliShman chuckies, as shown by the
senator from Colorado, at the oheapness OF
the exports which we send him. will
take the liberty, with the senator's permits.
sioni TO insert AS an appendix the figures
furnished from that English paper tho
Other day in regard to the profit of one
years purchase Of cotton and wheat as
showing the cause Of this deficit requiring
the export of geld
Then mark the result. With the gold
being exported to meet our foreign obliga-
tions and the public credit attacked by
the gold gamblers with the encOuragement
and cOnniyance Of the president ROths-
child and his American agents graciously
oOndescend to come to tho help of the Unit
cd states treasury In maintaining the gold
standard, which has wrought the ruin, and
only charge small commission of &c.
900, 600 or so on ono llttle transaction.
Great God That this proud government,
the richest and strongest on tho face Of the
globe, should have been brought to so low
II pass that q London jew should have
been appointed It's receiver, to have charge
Of tho treasury, with an option on any ad-
ditional issue of bonds, and prcsuinos to
patroni2e us and promises to take caro- Of
our great country! Is there man hero
who can think Of 1t without blushingY
Question For Republicans.
Now, again regret the absence of the
senator from Ohio Mr.. Sherman because
II he We're present l should ask him this
question, and II lie deems it worth wb 10
ho can answer IL hereafter If, as l have
said, with only $4,000, 900 people at that
time floating the enormous amount Of cur
rency issued TO carry on tho war, with
100000 men or more withdrawn from
productive industries to be marshaled I'M
der the stars and stripes for the mainte-
nance OF the Union, the country was so
prosperous, with industries thriving, no
tramps, no beggars, what did it, Enough
money, perhaps too much money, but still
enough.
II In 1878 ! believe it was, whom con
gress, in Obedience to the orders Of tho
people, declared that those grccnbacks
should not sn retired, but should be reis-
sued, we cSuld float that much paper
money before we had any gold or any sill
Yer basis, in the name Of common sense
and the idea OF prosperity which seems to
have departed from this Legislative assem-
bly,, why can sc not now put out $780,
10000 or $50, 900, 900 Of greenbacksP
Give us tho double standard, and We can
float that many greenbRcks at par with
gold and silver any day In tho year. and
there will be no more talk of tho public
credit and of the honor OF the nation.
The struggle, and the only struggle, Is
whether We shall have all government pa
per or all national bank paper, and II un
der the behests Of tho gold ring we are to
go to mOnOmotAllic standard and to ma
tional bank notes alone, ask some mar.
to answer why tho governments primary
notes are not as good as its secondary
notes? Tho reason is you have your 1000
milliOnaires You want few thousand
more with about GO, 900, 900 pRupers.
And what ure the people going to do
about itP Why arc these iniquities per-
mitted and the outrageous and unlawful
actions Of tho executive uncheoEedP No
man here denies the assertion that 1t Is
unlawful to issue bonds topay the current
expenses Of tho government, and yet 1t has
been done. There has been lame OK
PLANTATION attempted, that redeemed green
backs had to 60 into the general fund and
DO reissusIl, but II they were received for
tho gold Tor Which the bonds have been Is
sued, and they were not used to pay cur
rent expenses, where are theyH The re-
RpOnsibility Of providing revenues and
looking after the solyency Of the treasury,
which rests with congress, has boon
usurped by the president.
Now comes the crucial question for the
Republican party. Why have you not i'm
peached hiniP You have nearly three
fourths majority at tho other end Of the
capitol, which alone can formulate articles
Of Impeachment Why have you not i'm
peached himY
A Note Of Warning.
Tho money changers Rre In the temple
Of or liberties and have bought tho senti'
nels on guard. 1t may DO too late. God
grant 1t be not so, but this groat republic
can only be saved from the miscries Of
revolution and internecine strife In the
near future by its citizens casting aside
blind allegiance to party and marshnlinR
themselves under tho banner OF JoffcrsOn's
democracy and LinColn's republicnnism,
determined to restore tho republic to the
form in which it was left to us by the
fathers and since Consecrated by tho blood
Of brothers shed in civil war; engondored
and brought about by just such statesman
ship as we have here. The enOroaohments
of the federal judiciary and the supineness
and venality-cOrruption, may say-of
the representative branches Of tho govern
ment are Cnuses Of deep concern to all
thinking and patriotic men. We are fast
drifting into government by injunction in
tho interest of monopOlics and corpora
lions and tho supreme court by one corrupt
vote annuls an act of congress looking to
tho taxation of the rich.
Sir, tho struggle from 1861 to 1865,
which tlronchod this fair land In blood,
was to enancipate 1000, 600 black slaves.
We are fast approaching condition which
will place tho collar Of industrial bondage
around the neoks Of ten times that many
white slaves / would not predict reyOlu-
ton or war II did not feel that relief
must come either by the ballot or that an
effort will be made Ia few years to OBJ
tain 1t by bullets. You may look upon
me as al enthusiast, As an RlRrmlst or an
anarchist, but with the sober convictions
Of common sense tell you that the teach
ing Of ell history IL bellSd, and We must
surrender the belief that like causes pro-
duOs like effects II men expect that the
millions now out Of employment and the
ether millions who ere working eat
hopelsss existence Of toll year In and year
