True as Gospel.

Charles Dickens, speaking of the culminating horrors of the French revolution, says: “There is not in France with all its rich variety of soil and climate, a blade, a leaf, a root, a sprig, a peppercorn, which will grow to maturity under conditions more certain than those that have produced this horror. Crush humanity out of shape once more under similar hammers and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the seeds of rapacity, license, and oppression over again and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.” The Globe-Democrat says: “The new bonds are in strong demand as a basis of circulation.” Certainly; that is one of the things for which they were issued. The object of the conspiracy is a perpetual debt, upon which banks can furnish money to the people and draw interest on both bonhs and the money they furnish. The courts, backed by the military, are threatening our liberties.
