ache men were barefaced steals.
1 he New York World denounced the
syndicate steal tn unmeasured terms,
and offered to take one million of
bonds, while it demaudeil that the
American people be given an opportun-
ely to take tho bonds instead of ped-
dling them to foreign money sharks.
The row became so big that the pup-
pets in the white bouse and the treas-
ury department took water and Carllslo
issued a circular asking for a popular
loan.
The people were to pay for the bonds
In gold. The only people in the country
who havo gold are the big banks, and
they will get the bonds, but not the
people.
Why issue bonds at all?
We have about $800,000,000 in the
treasury of tho United States.
During Cleveland's first term he
called attention in a message to the
large sums in tho treasury and that this
vast amount was a "constant menace."
^ Yet within the year the Cleveland-
Carlisle confidence operators have
added nearly $100,000,000 to the pile in
tho treasury unnecessarily, have helped
a syndicate steal $12,000,000 from tho
people, and now propose to do it
again.
Why borrow money at all?
In the lirat place the gold in the treas-
ury need not be drawn out, as the law
does not require it.
10very bond and every government
obligation outstanding is payable not
in gold, but in coin. Silver is coin.
Why not give these money kings what
Hie law provides, silver coin
and what it
would amount to in forty-acre tract*
and mules. It is sufficient to say that
enough has been given away to make
a present to every head of a family in
the T nited States the value of "forty
acres and a mule."
Let us recapitulate.
Of forty-acre tracts the rail-
roads have received 4.942,492

The old party papers are welcome to
all they can get out of tho "forty acres

There are in the United States 4 H84 -
000 farms (1890). If these gifts to the
three classes of corporations
mentioned above had been dis-
tributed among the actual farmers
in the United States each would have
received the equivalent in value, not
of "forty acres and a mule," but of
ninety acres and nearly two mules.
