States can use his high Office for private
gain. He differs wi the Republican
party only in the one particular OF the
tariff, and on that he has blown hot
and cold as his pet hobby, and viii go
down in history as the most gigantic
failure Of any man who ever occupied
the White House, all because Of MS
vanity and obst.nacy."
Discussing the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of The Sherman law which
followed, he said: Democrats and Re
publcans We'd with each other N the
furtherance Of the policy wA-cl had
been formulated and steadily pursued
by the Senator from Ohio. When the
Senate met here was an acknowledged
majority of men open and outspoken in
their determination to sand by the
white metal and who were elected on
that issue Dut the process Of debauch-
cry began and slowly the Senate yielded.
In 80 days the deed was done and the
chains were riveted on the wrists OF
the tc.ling millions. DID the raid on
the treasury stCp?'
Discussing then the tariff bill which
passed N the regular session following.
ne said: 1T IS true he Cine President
did not sign Il and allowed it to be-
come a law without approval But here
again We have a spec acle of charlatanry
and hypocri..cal assumption of superb
or.ty 10 his party which has always
marked his career. The tariff law
which he repudiated as unworthy, IN
volv;ng party per1idy and party dis

And again referring to the President:

association with Wall street and his
connection with wealthy Zen had de-
bauched his conscience and
DESTROYED ALL SYMPATHY
with the masses"
Further on. in discussing the gold
question. he said: ROthschild and his
American agents graciously condescend
to come TO the aid of the United States
treasury in maintaining the gold stand
ard which has wrought the ruin, and
only charges a small commission OF ten
millions or so. Great God! that this
great government. the richest, most
powerful on the globe, should have been
brought to so low pass that London
Jew should have been appointed its re-
ceiver and presume TO patronize us.
THE responsibility Of providing rev.
enue and looking after the solvency of
the treasury, which rests with Congress,
has been usurped by the President. Why
is he not impc2ched?
THE entertainments Of the Federal
Judiciary, and supineness and yenality-
corruption, may say-Of the represen-
tatiye branches of the government are
causes of deep concern to all thinking
and patriotic men. We are fast drift
ing into government by injunction in
the interests of mOnOpOlies and corpora

corrupt vote, annuls an act of Congress

The struggle from 1861 TO 1865,
which drenched this fair land in blood,
was to emancipate 100000 of back
slaves. We are fast approaching a con-
