Shall the greenbacks be burned? You cannot get free silver by voting for gold-bug parties. The trouble with the gold reserve is that it wont reserve. America is paying too big a price for this “international” farce. The biggest bank robberies are all committed by the men inside. Vest of Missouri has been pulled down, into the goldbug camp. When the golden calf wiggles its tail Carlisle and Cleveland dance. “America for England” is the meaning of the gold standard war cry. What are you kicking about? The syndicate will save the country. Another American heiress, Miss Vanderbilt, has captured a real “dook.” Stand on the Omaha platform and fight for anything in it you want to. Have your neighbor to read the Omaha platform; perhaps he has never read it. Say, Bud. do you ever pray? If you do that is all right, but do you vote as you pray?

The anarchists who now control our government should be driven out forever. Burning the greenbacks would be burning American patriotism at the stake. Roger Queer Mills of Texas is the latest curiosity purchased by the Rothschilds. It is not much trouble for a dishonest man to lie for a corrupt party for a good salary. The democratic “chance” has reduced the United States treasury to beggary. Three-fourths of the wealth of the United States is owned by nine per cent of the people. Carlisle is out with his mouth organ begging the bankers for gold to see the calf dance. The question is shall the citizen or the dollar rule this country. On which side are you? Bank notes are very cheap money for the banks that use them, but dear for the people. The Kentucky democrats don’t know where they are at, yet. They will know after the election. The only true test of democracy’ is “never scratched a ticket in my life.” That is what the "harmony” talk means. If either one or both of the two old parties are in favor of free silver why have we not got it*? Did you ever think of that? No business is more intricate than the pose-office business, yet no one would think of letting it out to a corporation of capitalists. Chauncey Mouth Depew miraculously escaped from his European admirers long enough to speak at the New York state republican convention. The papers have a way of getting things badly mixed. It is hard to tell whether the gold resrrve has gone fishing, or Grover has gone to Europe.

The kind of “vigorous foreign policy” that the country needs is one that will banish foreign bond syndicates from America, and prohibit alien ownership of property. There seems to be a stampede in the democratic party on the silver question, but the leaders will take the boys around in a circle and round them up in a gold-bug camp. The democrats of Pennsylvania in state convention endorsed Grover Cleveland’s policy and adopted a Rothschilds’ platform. Democratic free silver men will vote ’er straight, as usual. Now that America has got done ravin’ (Dunraven) about that yacht race, what is the matter with challenging all England for a fight on the financial question? We can beat her at anything. The fact that cat-gut makes good fiddle-strings doesn't make a cat’s voice melodious. Neither does the fact that there are thousands of honest men in both of the old parties, make “harmony” and “reform inside the party” possible.

At the recent dedication and reunion at the Chickamauga battle-ground, a i company of ex-confederate soldiers, with their old tattered gray uniforms, marched under the stars and stripes. It is now in order for the fellows who never smelled powder to quit fighting the war over with their mouths. The railroad kings are looking with greedy eyes on the hie corn crop. They figuring on an advance in rates of 5 cew s per hundred pounds from Chicago, to xew York and points on the seaboard. This means a tax of seventyfive million dollars on the crop of corn. But private ownership of railroads is a beautiful thing.
