The silver bill don't amount to ZOO
markee for the Corners. In the first
place Bascom hez already put up the price
of likker to correspond with the depresh-
un Nv silver, so there amt nothin in
thas 1Ireckshun.
When it comes to payin debts with
greater eeze it doesent help us a particle,
for we never intend to pay EN- at all. We
hev a shorter method NV deelin with
bloated bondholders. Repudiashun is
jist ez easy and vastly more comprehen-
sive and all embracin in its efex than
any SIGH parshal relief ez debasin the cur
rency. Efthey hev mortgages and see Ii /
to freclose, let EN-. A dozen men with
shot-guns kin easily hold the minyuns NV
the Law at bay, and by the time a dozen or
more NV the graspin oppressors hev the
tops Nv there heads bloWed oil, they
will begin to remember that the debtor
class hev rites that will hev to be respec-
It'd.
But ez We want to pay, we must be fur
nisht with suthin to pay in. Silver amt
agoin to do it, for how kin We git the sill p
yer? Eff our notes wood git silver, and
other people wood take that silver at any
discount then it wood answer, for eff Their
is any one thing that a Cross. Reader de-
lites in, it is giving his note. We wood
even go so fur ez to sekOOr EN- by endorse
ment. wood endorse Deekin Pogram's
paper and he wood endorse mine, and we
wood all endorse for each other, eff it
wood soothe the minds Nv the lenders
and make EN- any more contented.
/ But there amt no yoose NV talkin NV
this The public lack confidence in US.
don't suppose | Good go to any of the
money centers NV the world and borrow
hundred thousand dollars on my own
name, with the endorsement of the dee
kin. | mover Good find any one more
oonhdin than to lerd me 1892 at one
voucher.
Wat we want is money that we kin
git hold uv-that everybody kin git all
he wants NV. Efmy seiestion NV maxim
leather dollars is rejected by unwise gen
erashun which don't recognize their ben
efactors, why then let us hev suthin
which is at once substanshel and kin be
made plenty. My plan is this:
Give ever corporashen the rite to ishoo
jist ez much money ez it wants to, based
| upon the faith Nv the corporashun wich
ishoos it. For instance the cOrporashen
NV Confedrit X Roads ishoos its script to
list such an amount ez it chooses, and
distribits it prorata among its citizens
That scrip shell be legle tender for every
thing, and any one refoosin to take it
shell be Immediately taken out and hung
Some SIGH legislashen ez that wood be
necessary TO inspire confidence
| The effeck wood be miraculous. Then
we wood all hev money, and Good pay
/ the bloatid bondholders without trouble.
We shood hev money with witch to
stimulate enterprise and give the spirit
Nv progress which belongs to the Amerikin
character full scope to run and be glori-
! fed. Then we Good bid railroads, and
factris and distillers and go on in way
that wood astonish the effete governments
Nv the Old World. Then wood there
come period NV prosperity onto US that
wood make up for the depreshun Nv the
last four years, and things kOOd be smooth
agin.
This is better than the silver bill, OF
anything that / know Nv, Moonissipal
woes, and it is the only thing that will
save us. Let the friends of silver aban-
don their skeem and come to the support
Nv mine. Silver is only a parshal re.
lief-my idea is complete. With SIGH
money / Good pay off Bascome and hev
enuf to live on to the last day Nv my life.
