Goldbug Whine!
At the end of June 1892, the
amount of gold in the Treasury
was $321,612,423, of which $190,-
232,404 belonged to the Govern-
ment. Oil the 9th, of July the
amount of gold in the Treasury
was only $250,748,196, of which
only $111,071,257 belonged t.o the
Government. In two yeirs there
has been a decrease of $70,864,227
in the total amount of gold in the
Treasury, and of $79,161,147 in
the amount of gold owued.
And t> e case is going from bad
to worse. The last advance sheets
of the Treasury report show the
am nint of gold in the Treasury,
the amount owned by the Govern-
ment, and percentHge of gold re
ceipts at the New York custom-
house at d fterent dates as follows:
Gold Gold
in Treusury. Owned.
March 81... .$28 . 144,269 $125,815,040
April 30 273,623 455 119,909,756
May 31 271,527,092 114,231,883
July 9 250,748,196 111,071,257
In less ttian two and one-third
months the total gold has decreased
ne irly $30,000,000, t he gold owned
nearly $L4,800,000, and the gold
balance, exclusive of the hundred
million reserve, has fallen from
$25,815,040 to $11,071,257. At
no time since resumption has the
balance been so small and it is
steadily decreasing. Optimist are
predicting that the balance will
increase when the new crops begin
to move out. But last year,
although the exports were heavy
beyond precedeni, there was a
gain of only $9,600,000 from
July to January, while the year
before, there was a loss of
over $25,000,000 . These facts
ought to convince Congress
that it cannot move too rapidly if
it means to stop the displacement
of gold by silver and silver notes
and the descent to the silver stand-
ard. If Congress does not mean
to do that, the monetary conference
will be held in vain.—Chicago
Herald.
The time will come when both
gold and silver wil be demonetiz-
ed. The avarice greed and legal
robbery practiced by the few, if
presisted in, will drive the people,
in self defense, to do this. The
reason why gold continually flows
out of our coffers, is that it goes
to pay interest due on "watered"
railroad, and a thousand other
kinds of bonds held by foreigners.
Our whole financial system is a
crying shame to American patri-
otism and wisdom. We have con-
tinued to elect cowards and traitors
to congress—a majority of whom
should be hung for treason. How
long! oh, how long! will the people
continue such men in office?

vanced the marriageable age of

A wise man cannot be a lazy
man; he may indeed be idle at
times, but it is not through dis-
taste of labor, but for lack of
employment.—Cincinnati People's
General Weaver's speech at the
Council Blufts Chautauqua on
Thursday was masterly and con-
clusively refutes all the small flings
which have been made at him.
"The demand for money is equal
to the sum of the demand for all
other things, and the various nec-
essaries of life constitute this sum
of demand," is a ramarkable
statement and at the same time a
logical and unanswerable one. But
when General Weaver says "Put
your hands in your pockets and
they will tell you the fallacy of
the present financial system" he
makes an argument which every -
oue can understand and appreciate,
and which cxnnot be met by all
the fallacious arguments which the
gold kings can produce.
When Col. Mills goes into the
work of demolishing the people's
party in Texas, he will have to
stop and explain how much of
Sevd's $500,000 he got for his part
of the job ior demonetizing silver
in 1873.—Corsicana Truth.
Mr. Mills was a member of the
House committee. We do not say
that he received anything for his
vote and influence in the commit-
tee, but Mr. Ernest Seyd affirms
that he distributed $500,000 in the
two committees. Col. Mills did
not make any minority report, and
it would be no more discredit to
him to exculpóte himself, than it
would for Governor Hogg to refute
the charge that while pretending
to be opposed to railroads he rides
on free passes.

Laziness is a much greater thief
than a pickpocket. Lamines trav-
els so slowly that poverty soon
overtakes him. He that cometh
to want through laziness doth not
deserve pity. Laziness is the ene-
my of virtue, and the very train of
all wickedness.—Cincinnati Peo-
ple's Aid.

No wonder gold bug journals
can "look with complacency" upon
the prospectivo election of cither
Harrison or Cleveland! They
recognizc the similitude.. Listen
to the testimony:
The linancial community looks
with complacency at the nomina-
tion ofMessrs. Harrison and Cleve-
land lor the presidency. Both have
sound views on the currency,and the
finances of the country will be safe
in the hands of either. This is a
strong point for Wall and State
streets, as it precludes any attempt
of bear traders to depress stocks
and securities on the ground that
the financial policy of either can-
didate is to be questioned, or that
element of uncertainty might be
engendered by the candidacy of a
man whose views on the currency
are in doubt.—Boston Globe.
