vumi uave ever oeiore neen Known in
our history; more gambling, more idle
men, more haggard won en and crying
uiiuureii, anu tne enu is not yet. Yes,
you torn tne truth Mr. Carlisle, and
these people are here to vouch for tbe
accuracy of your prophecy." Let's
near it again :
"The absolute and instantaneous destruc
tion of naif the entire movable property of
the world, including houses, ships, rail-
roaus, anu otner appliances for carrying on
commerce, while it would be felt more sen
sibly at the moment, would not produce
anything like the prolonged distress and
disorganization of society that must inevita
bly result from the permanent annihilation
of one half the metallic money of the
world."
When the Democrats in Congress
passed a free coinage bill and Presi
dent Hayes vetoed it, Carlisle stood
up and warned tbe Democrats that it
was their duty to stop every dollar of
appropriations for conducting the gov
ernment until the President signed the
bill and thus say to tbe government that
if it would not give that bill to the
people, Congress would not supply the
necessary money for tbe administra
tion. At that time Mr. Carlisle would
have stopped the wheels of govern
ment rather than see the horrors of
gold monometallism descend upon tbe
producers and laborers of America.
out sumenow tne Dees have been buz
zing in his ears, and in his mind's eye
the golden halo of the Rothschilds
hangs over him.
