Robbery by Bankers.

If the bankers who are drawing gold from th-j treasury with greenbacks had to depend on their own resources the drain of gold wouldn’t continue for a day. The secretary of the treasury is furnishing them the treasury notes free of interest, on long time deposits, in fact these banks have used this government deposit so long that they depend on it almost exclusively to carry on their business and if it was called for there would be the blackest Friday that this country ever saw. Some day when the people realize half the devilishness of the gang there will be about fourteen years of black Fridays for some of ’em. —Chicago Express. Mr. Leavitt in his recent work entitled “Our Money Wars,” says: “John Thompson said to me: “I find the following was going the rounds of the money-reform papers in 1887. I am of the same opinion still.’ “The mono-gold advocates are doing their best to monopolize the money of the world. Their measures are admirably calculated to sweep into the hands of the millionaires the assets of the industrial classes, at a very disastrous price.—John Thompson, President Chase National Bank, New York.” It’s simply a ground-hog case —if more gold bonds are issued they will be repudiated. It would be impossible to pay them in gold, even if the people were willing.
