The bonds are coming. What’s become of Horr? Lok out for another issue of bonds. Character is greater than formality. Shall England rule the sons of revoutionary fathers? Brand every man a traitor who wants to destroy the greenbacks. Don’t forget that England is backing the entire gold-bug scheme. Join the army of the fool-kil’.er, and help to bury the dead with your vote. The wonjan who sells her womanhood is no worse than the man who sells his vote. If it were not for the government security what would bank-notes be worth ? Carlisle “dealt silver a terrible blow” at Boston —almost winded himself, he blowed so hard. Sherman's death-bed repentance leads him to confess not his own sins but those of others. The real fight of the money-lenders is not against silver, but against the government issue of money. The man who is not radical has neither friends nor enemies—and really amounts to nothing at all. If it were not for pugilism, how in the world could Governors Culbertson and Clark have ever gained fame? Both the old parties foster trusts and when you vote for either you vote to perpetuate them and enslave yourself. The plutocrats want war —but if they continue in their present course, they will hsve to do some of the fighting when it comes. Cleveland is popular with England— George Washington was not. Popularity in England is not the best sign of American patriotism.

It is thought that the prosperitywhoopers will now abandon the faith cure for hard times. The patients have lost faith in the doctors. John Sherman has not only lived to see the Democratic party indorse “the crime of ’73,” but has seen them commit a crime just as bad. The increased purchasing power, of the dollar does not help the fellow who has to sell an increased amount of his labor and produce to. get the dollar. Report comes from Washington that the plates are being prepared for another bond issue. We will likely have it before the beginning of another year. Anonymous writers often speak truths fully as forcible as those that are duly signed by recognized authorities. Truth is the only true authority. The only kind of fusion that is justifiable is between the democrats a£d republicans; their sole object is office and they make no secret of subordinating principle to get it. It is hard for a man to be a silver man and a Democrat at the same time —or a Republican, either, for that matter. In other words, one cannot be a silver man and a gold-bug both. IF GOLD MONEY IS THE ONLY RELIABLE BASIS FOR BUSINESS, WHY DON’T BUSINESS BOOM, NOW THAT WE HAVE A GOLD BASIS? PLEASE ANSWER, MR. GOLDBUG.

The workingman not only sacrifices his manhood in voting for either of the two old monopoly parties, but also robs his wife and children of the protection he promised in the marriage vow. “Farmers” by appointment do not represent the sentiment of farmers by profession. That “farmers’ ” congress at Atlanta which adopted a gold-bug resolution consisted of farmers by appointment. Until the people come to regard their law makers in the same light that they do their other hired hands, and look after them as close, we will never have purity in politics, or that prosperity to which we are entitled. Senator Vest, of Missouri, says there is only $3.84 per capita of money in circulation, yet if his party declares against an increase of money he will stand by the party. What do you think Of such a man’s principles? The Louisville Courier-Journal has invented a new word, “jabberwocks.” Of course it applies to a newly discovered class of democrats. There are so many kinds of democrats that new words have to be invented for naming them. “The man who tries to pull down the flag let him be shot on the spot,” says one of our plutocratic glory-whoopers. Why not apply the same remedy to the men who seek to destroy the greenbacks —the most truly patriotic money in America. If the federal troops were ordered to shoot the cause of the strikes and riots, more American millionaires and their tools would be called to Europe on important business, than ever took a pleasure trip across the water in ten rears before.
