Shame

Who are to blame for it? The aristocracy. on the infernals. We will make out a bill against them; they inaugurated it; and make the people pay for it. And it is the engine they enslave the people with, and poor souls, they do not know it; they are like the lamb that is doomed for the feast. We will at times say something about the civil war, but we do not have the space to give a full history of it. We will prove that the black republicans and the aristocracy are the same. Aristocracy always stole from the people by class legislation; that one thing is enough to fasten the reproach on the black republicans. They are for a high tariff; the aristocracy are, and always have been. They are for the British banking system The aristocracy are for it, and always have been. They give away the public lands; the aristocracy are, always have been. They are for giving subsidies to railroads; the aristocrats are, and have always been. They are in favor of giving away the public lands; have given away nearly 300,000,000 acres of land; so the aristocracy have done. They are for high freight and fares; the aristocrats are, always have been. They support monopolies of all kinds; the aristocrats have always done the same. They are for high salaries, and many officers, so as to have many voters under control; aristocracy does the same, always did. They are for war; say it is a necessity; aristocracy does the same. They are conservatives; aristocracy are the same and always have been. They are opposed to progress in government; aristoc racy have always been a stationary party; they are for fraud, and force, and corruption in government as their prototype, Alexander Hamilton, and their orig. inal (aristocracy) always was. They are for having pensioners; so are aristocracy-and always were. We will give a list of aristocratic pensioners before we get through; they are man worshippers; aristocracy are, and always have been.

We need not prove these items; every honest man can see it plainly, how they extol their leaders and laud them to the skies, and they do not have a great man

in their party. They have smart knaves; so has aristocracy. They are dishonest in politics; so aristocracy have always been. They could not stand a year if they were honest and truthful; the same with aristocracy. They abhor and detest a Democrat; so does aristocracy. And they lie about them, and slander and vilify them; so aristocracy always have. They flatter and lie to the laboring man; so does aristocracy. They say they are for high wages; so do the aristocrats. Both lie. They have reduced wages to starvation prices; so aristocracy have done. They are for long terms of offices, as President for life and Senators for life. They cheat the laboring man continually; so do the aristocracy in class legislation. They buy up voters like cattle in the shambles; so does the infernal aristocracy. They buy up Congressmen like merchandise; so does the vicious aristocracy. They sell official stations like sheep in the stalls; so does the vile aristocracy. They give contracts to their pets without advertising; so does the aristocracy. They steal money out of the treasury; so does the diabolical aristocracy. They think they are above honest people; so does the tartarean aristocracy. They are the vilest of the vile; so is the mercenary aristocracy. They have done all manner of crimes; so has the dronish aristocracy. And nothing is too low and mean for them to do; so does the aristocracy. They transcend all telluric infamy and falsi crimen; so does the degraded aristocracy. We did not conclude the succession of the Presidents after Lincoln's first term. In 1864 he was elected to the second term. On the 14th of April, 1865, Lincoln was shot by Booth, and died the next morning. And on the same day, April 15th, Andrew Johnson became President, and at once entered on the discharge of his duties. He held that the South had never been out of the Union, and he recognized them as members of the Union. But the infernals had to manifest their malignant hatred to the South, which for a long time had been harbored in their hearts. First, they made citizens of the negroes,

which they did to provoke the South, as they cared no more for the negroes than they did for coyotes. They had the silly idea that with the negro vote they could rule and enslave the South; but a race having the property and intelligence of a country could not be ruled by poor and ignorant negroes. Their idea was to make the negroes the dominant race, and they sent many of their lackeys south, to carry that idea into practice. It was madness, insanity, fanaticism, impiety, flagitious atrocity, villainy of a fiendish and of infernal aristocracy. And they passed laws to carry that satanic idea into practice. O foolish fools! They are now grieved that they gave the negro a vote. Before he was free only three-fifths of the slaves were counted, to make out the representation for Congress. The diabolical black Republicans always were finding fault with that clause in the constitution. But they made it worse by giving them full representation; and now the South has more power in the gov ernment, and the fiends are worsted by the power of the South, and their increase of population. The fiends could not believe the increase was so great, though done by their own scyophants, and they had the work done again, and the black imps had to be satisfied. So now it is a hard matter for the infernals to get a majority in the House of Representatives in Congress, the South electing so many against them. If they did not do so, they would be like the lamb in the feast, which licks the hand just raised to shed its blood. We think but little of the southern man who plays sycophant to a black Republican, or any workingman who believes a word they say, as they are liars and thieves and swindlers and robbers and plunderers and cheats.

In the fall of 1868 Grant was elected President, and in 1872 he was again elected. He, we believe, is the only man who endeavored to get the third nomination; but he failed. In 1876 Hayes was elected President. This is the year that the infernals robbed S. J. Tilden of the office of President of these United States, who

was fairly elected, and they knew it. This infamous act proves that they are infernals. We have called them by that name many times, and if there are such brutes anywhere, the Black Republicans are the tartareans; language cannot express the depth of the diabolical crime; pandemonium cannot show a parallel to it. Mephistopheles never came up to that demoniacal crime. And the way the Black Republicans countenanced the crime proves their utter infamy. Demonocracy cannot equal the infamy of the Black Republicans. We say, and we wish you to retain it, that the crime of stealing the Presidency proves that the party who are guilty of the crime are barbarous aristocrats, and put as high as the Washington monument is not sufficient punishment for them; and no language can give an adequate degree of the infernal crime. But the reader will believe that the Black Republican will do any bad act. In 1880 Garfield was elected, and he was assassinated; he took an active part in robbing Tilden of the Presidency. Next, Cleveland was elected President, 1884. From Mar. 4, 1860, to Mar. 4, 1884, the United States was ruled by the Black Republican party. For twenty-four years the country was cursed by abandoned and infernal rulers. We have no doubt that the country has gone back more than one hundred years in morals. The infamous scamps have been teaching that we are going back into barbarism; many we have heard say so, and no doubt it came from their leaders. They hate the people with an intensity unutterable and indescribable. They are working to bring them to poverty and wretchedness and woe, as the world has never seen. We are stating what the demons have done, and we cannot do justice to the infamy of the abandoned. wretches. Some may think that we are severe on the imps, but we tell you that soon the proof will be giv en. We will make out a bill of the stealing of the infernal Black Republican party, the largest bill that was ever made out, and a true bill it will be, and such. robbing and stealing, lying and cheating, never was equaled.

CHAPTER XXII.

BANKING.

The history of the banking system, in all its parts, is a singular and important matter. Its origin took place in 1609, in Amsterdam, Holland, and at its begining gave no indications of its present gigantic operations. And at its inception, the system gave no signs of its present banking swindle. Other banking institutions had preceded it, but they were not connected with it, nor like the present modern money making system. The Bank of Amsterdam was a bank of deposit only. It did not issue any bills, nor make loans like the present banks. It was a storehouse for money, established for the purpose of keeping money. It was an honest and useful institution. If a person wished to make a payment at some distant place, he would deposit in the bank the amount he wished to pay, and they would give him a certificate of deposit, which would pass for its face at many commercial centers. The bank made a charge for keeping the bullion or coin. These papers became circulating medium, and the coin or bullion laid in store until the certificate was returned, and the deposit called for; such was the first banking-no robbing, no stealing; an honest and upright institution, which represented dollar for dollar; and the coin or the bul lion lay in store, and was not subject to wear and tear, and losses of actual use. It was in that manner a paper currency was created, having all the safety, and stability, and uniformity of a metalic currency, and the facility of a paper circulation. The whole arrangement was beautiful and honest, like the people who inaugurated the scheme. It has been said, Man has discovered many inventions. Yes, many honest, and some vicious and dishonest; by a change, the villain. and scamp has made it a system of fraud, and robbery, and dishonesty. The infamous aristocrat has converted the honest system to a system of transferring the
