We know the ttiiude o. Banker Gage toward
the peoples intcrest end the fact that such
man with such an Internal scheme of fraud is
ct the head of the treasury is sufficiently in
cicative of the intentions of the President of
the United States The people desired him;
they voted for him, and he is the President of
the country. Give his policy It's best possible
trial. Times are good now for the inilliona1re),
and prosperity is booming. Provisions are high
and wages are low. Millions of bushels of
wheat are in the elevators at Chicago, and the
price of wheat is up. This makes it prosper
ous for the money kings. The farmers are all
rich now, i'll consequence of the Dingley tariff
law; mortgages are being paid off, and the
fairness are the happiest set of men in the world
1t will be but little while now before every
body will want to go to farming. What a
lief this will be to our great cities, where there
so many idle people.
Egypt kept the bond until the wrath of the
Almighty cancelled it. The South kept the
bond of African slavery until the vengeance of
God settled upon the nation; and the bond to
which the peoples pretended representatives
have now committed the nation will be kept
until the oppression is beyond endurance-then
vengeance will fall What spectacle The

agreeing to purchase and place in his vault an
equal quantity of gold as additional security to
the men who accepted his notes =? We would
call him an idiot; and yet this is precisely what
this nation is doing. We deprecate our paper
by making exceptional clauses for the special
benefit of the bondhoder.
We have no sympathy with the competitive
system; but while the competitive system is in
vogue, give the people an equal chance with
the money cornorants, as nearly as possible.
AS all money is fiat, place the fat on silver
Monetize silver and up it goes There would
be no more talk of cheap money. Greenbacks
are as good as gold; remove the exceptional
clause from them, and they would be worth
more than gold. Let the nations of the world
remove the stamp from gold, and down it would

other dalies of Chicago filing their columns
with the clamor of cheap gold instead of cneap
silver. Silver is cheap because it is dem net
