Notes.

The President recommends 50-year bonds, payable in gold, to enslave the next generation. What is this country coming to, when a tool of Wall street dictates legislation? And now it is a predicament. We asked an old soldier what he thought of the President’s special message, and he answered: “The most coldblooded piece of villany ever proposed on American soil.’” Grover is serving the bankers faithfully—and great has been his reward. The government don’t need a dollar of gold to pay anybody but traitors, who deserve hanging. The gold reserve must be abolished before it wrecks the government. Ttey are discussing the money question, eh? Wouldn’t pay any attention to the Populists a couple of years ago when we proclaimed that the paramount question. The gamblers are selling options on gold in New York. Whatever is done or left undone, by the next congress, more bonds wiP be issued and the greenbacks destroyed. There is a surplus of money in the treasury for the payment of current expenses—yet the President wants more bonds. Though Ramsey, the defaulting cashier of Illinois, is dead, he has charged up against him on the othel- side of the river $500,000 — and worse than that, he was a grand old party whooper, one of the kind who denounce Populism.
