Stand from Under


The crash is coming! Heaven send
it may come soon |! This bubble Of trea.
son and speculation combined must
burst. 1t is inflated to about its full
capacity. and puff of wind will carry
it away.


Take treason out Of this speculation
in gold, and it will end. Take specula.
ton out of the advantage capitalists
take of the reasonable speculation in
gold, and there will be no imitation.


II! is time the truth was spoken plainly
full time the people should be thor
oughly informed on the subject. Let
the loyal masses of the nation once see
that the speculator in gold is JEFF Davis
most efficient ally. and the speculator
who reaps golden harvest from the
sin Of the gold gambler.is his next best
friend, and there will soon be reaction
such as will sweep the one and the 9TH
er from the face of society.


It is not true that the condition Of the
country justifes the existing state Of
financial affairs. 1t is not true that the
price Of gold is now regulated by the
laws of>trade-she ruling principle OF
demand and supply. 1t is not true that
the demand for gold causes its upward
tendency. or that cessation Of that de-
mand causes the price to decline. Gold
does not enter into these changes except
fctiiiously.


The whole thing is a concocted
scheme, and is ''baseless as the fabric
Of vision" 1t is an insult to the ma
ton. II is the yilest manifestation OF
copperheadism and treason. 1t is a
direc, blow at the government. and the
winds that fan the flames of this gold
conhagration are generated in Rich
mond.


We say this .hing cannot last. The
people ought to arise in their nigh, and
say at once it shall not last. The legal
tender notes, for all practical purposes
in the land, are worth just as much as
gold. and he who does any thing to de-
preciate them is an enemy TO the gov
ernment. The only way cent can be
made by the speculation in gold is to
make greenbacks the standard of value,
ard measure gold by them; for in any
other view a gold dollar is just dollar
and no more. and if it brings dollar
and half j. is still but a dollar. and
the paper is deprecated. But the paper
is not deprecated; i. still goes as legal
tender, and the advance in gold is 6c,i-
tious, speculative, and declaration OF
a want of confidence in the ability Of
the nation to meet IFS promise. In a
word. ii is putting the credit of the ma
ton below par 10 accommodate a set OF
rebel sympa,hizing brokers. who are
thus doing all they can to help jeff.
Davis and Lee.


Away with the whole crew. They
ought to be where the Alabama is-a'
the bottom Of the sea.


Now, as we said. this bubble mus
burst. 1t will burst; it cannot help it,
for il is but bubble. Then stand from
Fall ye who do not wish to so with
the ruins. Step on solid land. all ye
who do not wish to be carried away
with the food.


He who wishes to change his bust.
ness, let him do it now. He who is in



debt. let him now get out of it. OF it viii
very soon be too late. He who is do.
ing heavy business on credit, lie, him
at once make ar assignment.for he will
surely go under.


Ii the brokers cannot be reached SO
as to stop their disloyal work, let them
pu, on all the steam possible, initiate the
crazy balloon Of Speculative Gambling
to the utmost with all possible dispatch,
that the collaps may come the sooner.
Every hours delay is an injury to the
country. Look out for the crash. and
stand from under!
