Money is a creation of law. The gold-bugs are in the saddle. Where is your tariff howler now? Labor produces wealth, governments create money. Cleveland has reaffirmed his devotion to the money power. It is now in Order to inquire “what the Democrats are there for?” If you have any principles you will stand by them, if you are a man. Gold is not money, but money can be made out of gold, by law only. A traitor to the cause merits only the treatment of a sheep killing dog. The Republican party was \eft because it didn't keep up with the. procession. Gold the only basis, and the gold all gone. Well may we ask, “where are we at?”

Why should Wall street be allowed to dictate the financial policy of the government? Surely the office seeker has many, trials and tribulations. Likewise the office dispenser. The country is prosperous. In fact, there seems to be an over production of prosperity. The Democrats seem to be afraid to knock the tariff chip off the shoulder of the Republican party. Republicans went out and Democrats came in, but the subjugation of the people goes on just the same. Money does not measure value, it is only the standard of payment of values, agreed upon by the contracting parties. The people go through the form of electing their rulers, but Wall street and the Jew money power rule the country. Cleveland assures plutocracy that all the powers of government entrusted to him will be used to prevent the release of the money power. If the gold-bugs want the silver dollar and gold dollar to be on a parity with each other, why not reduce the number of grains now contained in the gold dollar?

If the Democratic hen don't soon hatch out those reform eggs which confiding Democrats put under her, they will probably spoil. The weather is getting pretty warm. Gold is constantly being exported, and the people are constantly being dragooned into submission to measures that will «more completely place us in the ipower of foreign money sharks. The courts may decide, that 4ho man who strikes against •starra/jon wages is criminal, but how are they going to enforce their mandate? That’s the question agitating the American public. Daily the financial situation grovs more critical, and the country is treated with the disgusting .spectacle of the secretary of the treasury tagging at -the heels of Wall street like a ••bound boy.*’ .Qh for a .little A merican. manhood.
