Mr. Republloao; Yoa blame Dem

timea when the Republican party waa
in fall awing. Qmver has simply fol
lowed oot tbe financial policy of Ben
Harrieoa. Harriaoa, Keed, McKinley,

policy. Tbeea ara facta beyond dis
pute.
Bnppoaa a aaaa bad a safe fall of
money green becks, bank notes, ailver
and ailver ear till wta. but .only a little

aad reqoeet gold. Wouldn't tbe man
be a obnmp to beetle around town and
borrow tbe gold oa, say, twenty year'
time, at 4. or any other per oent of in

of bealaeae, J
Thoee wbo ara now in the gold bog

Lincoln' rage," "flat truth," etc
aad yet these aame "rags" saved the
nation while cowardly gold and ailver
alonk away oat of light And we never
had raor prosperous time In this ooun
try than wbea there waa not a gold
dollar nor a ailver dollar la cireula-
i.' Tkaa aare facta known 16 every
middle-aged man in thi ooantry.
Old Shylock thinks by having bonds
saoed he I paving tbe way for a bank
currency, and eipeot to use tne Donna

he expect to depoait the bond with

and alao endorse bia noteato at least 60
per cent of the faoe value of tbe bonds,
and these note loan oet to tbe people
a money.
On every band there are people who
are pretty thoroughly disgusted with
tbe old partiea. Tbey realize that
aometbing or tbe other ia out of joint
with tbe governmental machine.
Tbey I
have read in their old party paper
that the Popaliata ara eraay fool and
narvhiata and they let it go at that
Now, we hold that every Populist
ought to make these fellow to sub
scribe for tbia paper, and then tbey
ill find out what alia the old ma
chine.
W are In favor of the free ootnage
of ailver, aa of gold. In the ration of
10 to I, ao long aa we have gold but
we hold that law makea money (not tbe
material of which th money is com
posed) and the cheapest and moat oon
veninet material ia the eheapeat and
beat That material ia paper; tbe
money bolng laaned axolaaively by the
government; a full leeral tender In pay
ment of all de'bts, pnblio and private!
From time to time w run a crow
people wbo aay: "Oh, politic don't
bovber n.e, I don't trouble myeelf
about them." It I too bad that thi
class of people art allowed to vol at
all for when they do vova it 1 a Tote
against some man who doe think, and
trie to tote for th benefit of all the
people Tbia ba been tba trouble with
tbia eonntry and tba result la that
thoee wbo prod oca th wealth of tbe

produce nothing ara getting inordi

If, aa aome people argue, we meat
have gold (and diver) to ase In nettling
balance with foreign eonntriea, we
ean atill abip them tbeea metala. For
oonvenleno aske tha government
might ran them into bar, stamping
eaoh with it weight and flnaneae and
the loaa through abrasion and "coin
