to pass during the war and after its
close. The people have been swim
died by that crowd beyond COM
putation from first to last.
There are but few of the "bus-
mess" men whom the Rothschild
daily press never tire holding up to
the public, as examples to initiate
and learn from, that know anything
about the science of money. Their
entire time and thought are ex-
pended in striving to catch the
fleeing dollar. Statistics claim
that 50 per cent of them miss it
and go down with the thousands of
bankrupt wrecks. Bankers CON
ventions form another class who
claim to be financial experts. Their
papers and speeches have only to
be read to learn how little they
know of the true science of money.
They impose their financial rot on
the public with owl-like solemnity,
and it is a puzzle to tell whether it
is ignorance or dishonesty which
prompts the financial twaddle these
Banker Associations get off. Mr..
VIM. p. st. John is the only one
among them who seems to have
studied the science of money, and
the entire usury crowd almost ostra-
else him because he so mercilessly
exposes the fallacy and dishonesty
of their goldbug theory and points
out the facts about silver.
1t were difficult to conceive by
what turn of the whirlagig of for
tune such a consumate ass as
Eckels reached so important posi-
ton as he fills to misfill in the
treasury of a great nation.
Eckels was fed by the New York
"Reform Clubn on the 2Sth of Feb
ruary, and the ignorant rot he ex-
changed with the Club for his din
ner must have caused some of the
old bankers to laugh in their sleeve,
and despise themselves for being
compelled to listen to such fool.
There is one consoling thought that
increasing intelligence among the
people on money, will, in the near
future, drive out of the United
States Treasury both the rogues
and the fools of the. Carlisle and
Eckels stripe.
Was what Tillman said in the
Senate true? None of the old party
dailies deny word of it, but growl
and howl about the "dignity" and
"etequette" of that dry-rot body
being outraged. If the language
which Tillman found necessary to
express the naked truth shocked
the elite, what complexion must
that truth be?
The old party papers call Sena-
tor Butler a "erank," Vest a
blatherskite and Tillman a "fool''
and anarchist" That is SPLEEN
did argument, don't you think ?
Well, it is the best they have, and
when man gives you the best he
has in the house you should not
complain.
The difference between the "bus-
mess MANI and refOrmer is, that
the "business mani strives to make
times better for himself; the re:
former strives to make better times
for everybody. The majority of
the Peoples party are reformeFs,
1t is one of the easiest things in
the world to bring silver and gold
to a "party," not only the coin but
the two metals. The United States
has only to open their minis to free
coinage and the thing is done
beyond q peradventure.
You cannot fight for any reform
whatever-no, not even for II reform
in the business of selling liquor
without fighting the money power
as well. Start where you may you
have got to encounter 1t the first
thing.
