upwards of S,5O0.OOO of him. as against

That labor actually receives the great

fact carefully concealed by the calamity

yearly the greater share of the products

TRUTH IS TRUTH.

If there is lion loose in the street,
or mad-dog, or a band OF robbers.
why not shout the fact, and try to
gather the good people together to re-
sst the enemy and make joint at
tack? Is he the brave man who runs
and hides himself? Or he the good
man who keeps still and warns no
body? Or he the wise man who SAYS
there is no danger, and that lion, mad
dog and robbers are friends of the
community. and sure to promote the
general welfare? Is not this last liar
an accomplice of the lion, mad-dog and
robbers, although he laughs at. abuses
and seeks to silence him who shouts
the alarm, as a calamity-howler, a
pessmist, or as a trafIicker in panics?
Even a false alarm is better than a
false security, when the danger is
known to be lurking near ready to
seize the first opportunity to rcnd, rob
and devour us. The boy who cried
wolf, wolf, wolff when there was no
wolf and laughed at those who came
at his cry until nobody would believe
him when the wolf came and ate him,
at least knew the danger. if he was a
fool, and fell victim to his own folly,
was not half SO vile and injurious as
the knave who cries peace, peace, peace
and plenty! when there is neither, as
he bats the trap for his deluded
hearers. The touter for confidence
game" Is not a high specimen Of man
hood in virtue or intellect. He may
not do the actual robbing, but he
shares in the spoils. and Is worse than
the thief.
Isaiah tells us that of old there were
many who besought the prophets:
''Prophesy not unto us right things,
speak unto us smooth things, prophesy
deceit" And so to-day there are many

but truth is!

GOLD FOR BANKS AND
BONDHOLDERS ONLY!

1t would be astonishing that any
member of either branch OF the Con-
gress of the United states should ad-
vocate a contraction of the currency, or
a diminutionp of the supply, or sources
of the supply, of primary or real money,
if it were not so we'll known that the
congressman who do so neither repre-
sent the nation, nor their States and
people, but only certain interests Of a
special character that have no coun-
try nor people, and that are greatly en-
riched by the very scarcity that is star
walton and famine, or suffering and
death, to the general public. The vilest
act of legislation known TO human his
tory was perpetrated by the Congress
of the United States of America, in
February, 1878, by the secret demone-
tization of silver and contraction of the
currency by an innocent-looking bill
which purported to be no more than an
act to regulate the ordinary operations
of the u. S. Mint in coming our money.
That 1t actually revolutionized our
money and currency was known only
to the conspirators who Struggled it
through Congress, and the President
and government of the United States,
as we'll as the people. knew nothing of
its purpose and effect until they were
revealed from England by the British
accomplices in the crime who thought
it useless to maintain q secret which
was already an accomplished fact, and
whose publicity was necessary to a full
realization of the fruits Of the crime
The vileness OF the crime, injurious as
was the decentralization and contrac-
ton effected by the bill, consisted chief
ly In the fraudulent methods employed
to pass it into law, and which should
have made.it, and should now make 1t,
not only null and void but its authors
guilty of n high crime and misdemean-
or tantamount to felony and treason.
Yet, now, on this foul base, the Re-
publicans are buslly bent on erecting
their gold standard" from which to
float the skull and cross bones flag Of
financial and commercial piracy! The
buccanecring at Manila, the military
imperialism in Idaho and the fraud of
1873 are to be capped and crowned with
this Britannia-ware this 'Brumma-
gem metal" the royalty and preroga-
tive OF Kings! Even If the common
people were to receive this Wanted
gold, they know there is not enough
of it for all the nations and all the peo-
pie. and that, like silk and satin, 1t
must be used only by the rich, while
the multitude must take to copper,
nickel and bank-note paper. The gov
eminent OF the people must be the ser
want OF the banks and bondholders,
furnishing both with the gold and
bonds the people cannot afford to use
themselves. but must provide for the
favored few. Not only so, but the
bank-notes. or promises, upon which
the masses are. expected TO be happy,
in all the bliss of Ignorance. the gov
eminent is to give to the banks Mt pub
lie expense, for nothing, and then these
promises are to be distributed to the
