TO PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
Fiom the Silver Knight of Washing¬
ton, I). C., we clip the following which
deals with Grover Cleveland and his
ruinous policy in a masterly manner:
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites ! for y« devour widows’ houses,
anil for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive the greater
dainiiati jn.” (St, Matthew, Ch. it, Verse
(
H.)
Mr. Cleveland,in your Atlanta speech
you said:
“Wo shall walk in the path of patriotic
duty, if, remembering that our free institu¬
tions were established to promote the gen¬
eral welfare, we strive for those, things
which benefit all our [x ople, and eaeh ol
us is content to receive from a common
fund his share of the prosperity thus con.
t Sibil ted.”
Yes, Mr. I’resident, that is all veiv
good; but how arc the laborers and
producers to get their share when you
Wall street folks get all the profits of
both labor and production? Do you
think there would be enough to go
round if all the worthy people in this
country got as big a share as your
clerk Mr. Lament? The trouble is, Mr.
President, that under your system a
few thousand capitalists are getting
more limit seventy millions of people
do, and the people are becoming dis¬
satisfied with the division. You may
be contended with what you receive
from the common fund, but did you
ever reflect that the poor follow who
is out of work and his family starving,
may not be as contented as you are?
Now, Mr. President, this is all sham.
You know that the contraction of the
money volume to the gold standard
makes an unequal division. The money
loaners get more than their share, and
the producers and laborers must suffer
under such conditions. You know
that money Is one-half of the consider¬
ation in every transaction where money
is exchanged for property or services,
and that a short supply of money affects
the price of everything bought with
money. You also know that the de¬
monetization of silver and the adoption
of the gold standard has made money
scarce and dear, doubled the obligations
of contracts, produced stagnation and
want, and made the debtor give up
everything to the creditor, aud that it
is making the people of the United
.States the slaves of foreign creditors.
You further kuow, Mr. President, that
you never have receon mended in any
message, legislation for the relief of
the people, but all your recommenda¬
tions have been in favor of the money¬
ed class, and particularly the moneyed
class ou the other side of the Atlantic.
Ilcing unable, as you are, to show that
you are willing that each citizen shall
receive his share of the common fund,
why do 3 - ou tell the millions, whom
your policy is robbing to-day to be
coutentedTJ It would be criminal on
the part of the American people to lie
couleuted with a system which is
transferring the property of the mass¬
es to an alien gold trust.
Your speech might have been ap¬
propriate if it had been addressed to
your Wall street constituents, but
when addressed to the toiling millions
who have been suffering under your
policy all the dire calamities of falling
prices, stagnation and hard times, it is
mockery.
You further say:
“We shall uiiss our duty and forfeit our
heritage, if, in a narrow sel.lshness, heed
lass of general welfare,we struggle u> wrest
from the government private advantages
Which enn onlj- be gained at the expense of
Our fellow countrymen.”
Who have wrested from the govern¬
ment private advantages ? Behold the
thousauds of millions which the nation¬
al banks have accumulated through
legislation which thhy pioeured to give
them an advantage over their follow
citizens, llehold the colossal money
power of Europe and America which
has drawn fiom production the wealth
of the civilized world and concentrated
it in the bauds of a few thousand
bondholders, gold gamblers aud money
changers 1 Then read your recoin
memtations’demanding legislation for
the natioual banks, giving them more
subsidies for issueing currency to suit
their speculations; aud also read your
recommendations that the money of
Hie world he reduced to the single
gold standard, to the end that the
holders of moneyed obligations shall
possess the earth, and say who have
in narrow sellishness wrested private
rdvautages from the government.
How, Mr. President, could you be to
cruel, knwing as you must that there
can be nothing left for the
loaded as they are, with debts aud
taxes, as to take from them everything
hut gold with which to pay their obii
gations! You are more unjust than
P haroah, who compelled the children
of Israel to make "brick without straw,
because you compel the American
people to pay debts ami taxes without
money, or pefish. It cnnuot be possi
ble, Mr. President, that you really in¬
tend to compel the people of the
United States 1 o make restitution for
l'haroah’s robbery of the followers of
Moses more than four thousand years
ago? You ought to take into consid¬
eration the fact that the people of the
United States are not Egyptians or
descendants of the people of the Nile,
and under no obligations to make
reparations for the wrongs committed
by Pharoah.
LYNCH LAW IN TEXAS.
Tvler, Texas was the scene of a
lynching one day last week, and the
sheriff wired meagre details of the
affair to the Governor of that State,and
the Governor in reply said:
“It was duly to protect this prisoner
at any cost. Why did you not do so?
Having failed in this affair so violative
of all law and so subversive of civil or¬
der, nothing should now deter you
from the prompt performance of the
duty to promptly prosecute all persons
engaged in this homicide and report
them to the grand jury. In this you
should not hesitate or falter, and if any
aid is needed from me in the discharge
of this duty it will be furnished to the
limit of my authority. The crime of
the prisoner, if guilty, is the most re¬
volting known to us, but the law pio
vides adequate punishment and a safe
and orderly method of determining
guilt.”
We are of the opinion that the Gov¬
ernor of Texas lias struck upon the
right plan, which if carrie I out, would
lessen the practice of people taking the
law into their own hands. It is true
the courts as a general thing are slow
and speedy iustice is not meeted out to
vicious persons who commit outrageous
crimes.
Jf the requirements of the Governor
of Texas are carried out, it will doubt¬
less check lynch law to a great extent,
and this were made a precidcut in
every State, there is no doubt that it
would have a tendency to decrease
lynch law everywhere.
Mob violence will not do, and the
strong urn of the law should exercise
a power over it.
WE NEED A WAR.
In conversation with a gentleman he
said that “we ought to have a war in
order to kill off the thousands who had
nothing to do and could get uothiug to
do.” And this Is the 10th century !
This is a civilization that has been
moulded by the influences of Christian¬
ity and softened by the tenderness of
brotherhood ! This is an age that is
brilliant with the power and creations
of accumulated wealth ! This is the
country iu which millionaires increase,
churches and school houses multiply
aud art galleries and libraries and col¬
leges and inventions grow more and
more numerous ! And yet, like hungry
men from a shipwreck it is brutally cou
cluded that, we must kill some of our
number that the rest may live. The
idea is monstrous; it is savage; it is
devilish. If in 1,000 years the human
nice is yet as near it barbaric state ns to
harbor a thought as horrible as this
man expressed, there can be no longer
a doubt of the gospel truth of the doc¬
trine of man’s total depravity. The
thought at once ignores, brutally ig¬
nores, the teachings of Jesus Christ
and outrages every lofty sentiment of
the heart. That it should be deemed
uecessary or advisable to slaughter
thousands, that the Goulds, and Van¬
derbilts, aud Morgans aud Rockefellers
should keep their useless millions and
accumulate more,is a violation of every
principle of civilization. The Almighty,
we do not believe, ever created men
for other men to kill in order that there
might be more room on the earth for
greed and plunderers. In a sparsely
settled country like this, not yet inhab¬
ited by the one-tenth of the people
that it can support, to talk of its in¬
ability to feed and clothe aud house a
portion of those who are already here,
is not only preposterous, but is the
savage experience of a blood-thirsty
disposition that would shame a canni
bal and offend the religion of a Choc
taw ; aud if such talk cannot awaken
the masses to change our systems so
that a man can live where 'wheat sells
for 50 cents a bushel and potatoes for
25 cents, God help the nation aud the
race.—Farmer's Voice,

paration to have lamps at every switch

Nonsense! That’s a doctor’s
