Now for it! When the money in the treasury
gave out, and money must be had to conduct the
war to a close, what have vou been told hundreds
of times? lias if not been that the hankers in the
east loaned their money at the request ot President
Lincoln? 'J'hatis what we'havP bV en told, is it not.'
Now having heard this so often from teachers
and ppliticians, . nothing less than branding .it
as «t willful, and deliberate and studied•taNehood,
as a means to get the people thoroughly innoctilated
\\.ith the idea that true patrfotism required the hon-
orable payment oi our war debt to those bankers
when they did not loan the government a single
dollar but instead, as i,will show yon, stole, yes
brigand-like'stole hundreds ot millions from the
government. I say nothing lcsslhan branch::^ it as
a willful, studied LIE will at all meet the ease..
Said bankers not ixilv did not loan. the govern-
ment a single dollar, but when appealed to tf> loan
refused unless on sucji shookitigly sliytock terms
that President Lincoln would not agree Ui'theni but
fell back on his constitutional right and called into
existence the greenback* But for tfie bankers' un-
patriotic .find inhuman terms there would have Ik en
no greenback, Tliere is n> use denying this, and
if is ,an insult I would like to see vigorously resent-
ed to ask a patriotic m iple to In* thanklul to a" set
of lying ghpuls, and to pay them'what they never
loaned.
legai, tinder* issjjkd.
It is to the discredit of the government that it lias
been stated that the government accounts ha.ve hee'n.
sobutigiiuglv kept -that it if not possible to tell ac-
curately wliat nmounts have been in circulation at
any time,'but there have been records wliicji have
shdwed that over i u i nt\ mm- iii ntiii:!) miM.ion
dollars were at one time in actual circulation. Nnfl
comers the qu'estion :

You are saving, "did'vou ji >t say just now that
we haif no war debt at the cio>e ot the war; ,k es.
Sir I "Is not? a war bond a war eight?" It may be
and it niav he a war 11 and. and if 1 van show to you
that what has been represented to you as a war
debt is a vile swindle*it gigandc fraud, will you af-
ter tliis throw. \ our political inilueiu iu lavor ot r>* -
pudiyting our entire no-called bonded "war debt?
Now let us get down to business.
You will i.ill to mind that the eastern bankers
claim they loaned the money that brought the war
to a close. We said it is a bare-faced lie and nAw
we propose to offer some-proof; on thin point.*
The Reader will pardon ii jliev find a little repetiT
lion. it will beonlv what needs to be remembered.
When President Lincoln went to the bankers tor
mpnev tliev thought they had him by the heels and
could .exact their.own terms.'but when the Presi-
dent issued the greenback, they found it waf he had
them by the heels, no one wanted their gold. So
to make a market for it again tliev corrupted a.cor-
ruptihle congress to i\eprecia!e the i^reefibark by
placing on'ita clause stating it was Itgal tender
'•e\*cept," then under this'exception ran. the green-
back down, down until tjiey demanded two'dollars
ajid. eiglitv-seveu and a Jiaff cents'for one dollar in
gold. • • '.
Now don't forget thrtt there were republicans,
and can vou imagine how fishamed and mortified
our good Lincoln.must have been, when he .issued,
interest blearingboqds as a means'to obtain gold t«>
