Latest Goldite Scheme.

1t is interesting TO note the tricks, pre-
fences, subterfnges, false statements,
given the public which the goldites are
resorting to in order to throw the public
off the scent, and confuse them on the
silver question. For Notwithstanding
their attempts to poo-poo silver, profess
ing to believe it is dead and the question
will not prove factor in the Presidential
campaign of 1900, silver is the one issue
they are most afraid of today. Their
concern for the defeat of the Democratic
party, if its national platform don't aban.
don silver, is agonizing.
Recently system of new tactics has
been resorted to. In the middle Of
Cleveland's administration the United
States was so barren of gold that national
bankruptcy and collapse of national
credit were imminent. Today these same
gold jugglers are proclaiming that this
country is the leading gold country OF
the world, that by the end of 1899 the
United States will have in treasury, bank
vaults and in circulation all told, more
than billion of gold coin; that the gold
output of the world will amount to nearly,
if not fully $4oo, 900, 900, and next year to
much more than that; that the great pro-
duction of gold is likely to cheaper the
metal so much that silver will be brought
to par with gold at the coinage ratio of
I6 to I, and therefore it is useless to
longer make silver disturbing element in
politics; that Organism" will be clear
out of the question in another year,
caused by the amazing increase of gold.
Within the last fortnight new gold
wonder has been started in Wall street
One of the Jew banks of New York, one
Of the greatest of those gold pawnbroker
establishments, has shipped several mill
lions of gold to Europe, and this financial
transaction was done in the face of the
fact that exchange could have been pur-
chased for a thousand dollars OH every
million less than it cost to ship the gold.
All of this gold bluffing is for purpose,
and the ultimate aim of it is 10 fool the
people on the silver question, and the
Democrtic party i'll dropping silver and
the Chicago platform, and going into the
battle OH anti-trusts, anti-expansion, anti
imperialism, and all the blind pool ques-
lions that the gold Democrats are claim
ing will be sure thing to unite the party
and insure victory i'll 1900 In plain
English this new gold trick it is hoped
will, if carried out, place the party safely
under the old rotten Cleveland, Croker,
Hill, Perry Belmont, Whitney, German,
ct. al. outfit and insure an easy victory
for the gold trust, paper money trust and
all the robber monopoly trusts which are
now embodied i'll one political party,
known as the Republican party.
Any person who thinks and has sense
enough to go in out of the rain, knows,
or if he does not know soon would be
made sensible of the fact, that as soon as
the Democratic party proclaimed its
apostasy to the Chicago platform and
delivered its organization up to the Hes
slams commonly known as gold Demo
Gratis, who are working in the interest of
plutocracy, the Populists and silver
Republicans would drop them like hot
coal aud organize distinct and separate
party which would mean death and dis
solution to the present Democratic party.
With these facts SO plain that way

tamely submitting to remain in the hand.
