This statement is fallacious for two
reasons first, because his wages
would be increased in proportion to
the enlargement of the volume of
the currency; second, because his
wages would be increased in a cer
tain ratio to the increase in the farm
products which he would have to
purchase, and the amount he would
gain when it comes to paying fixed
charges, such as rent, taxes, interest
on municipal, State and national
bonds, would far more than com
pensate him for any small loss he
might sustain on the increased cost
of farm products. The
tingle gold standard is the strong
hold of plutocracy. Let us
go forth, storm the enemy and re
possess the land."
In conclusion Mr. Howard says:
"We cannot hope for mercy from
our masters. They have no thought
of lessening our burdens. Even
now, as Hunger stalks abroad in the
land, they sit at sumptuous banquets
and plot other robberies and other
schemes to complete the subjugation
of mankind. But the spirit
of liberty has been aroused and
burns anew in thousands ef hearts,
and the blazing torch is being passed
from hand to hand and carried from
home to home, warning the people
of their danger and preparing them
for battle. The spirits of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln
have returned to earth and are fan
ning the smouldering embers of free
dom, and some night, while the plu
tocrats are plotting against the peo-
pie, these embers will suddenly leap
into flames of patriotism and the
spirit of 1776 will animate the com
mon people, who will throw off the
golden yoke of tyranny."
Congressman Howard will devote
all his energies next session to his
famous bill to impeach Grover Cleve
land. He has been at work on the
bill all summer, and, it is reported,
has gathered together a vast mass
of documentary evidence. He has
also read up all the famous impeach
ment cases of history.
