w. h MgAn,
Chairman Congressional Com. lth. District,
For the past Ave years the cry has
come up from the press and rostrnm
Of the old parties that the currency
question Is settled. What dc you
greenbnck lunatics want3 We have
the best banking system the world
ever saw.
We are now informed that the
financial question Is occupying moro
than half the time Of Congressman.
Why should Congress be spending
its time on . question that has been
settled for the past Ave years2
Slavery Was settled when the ques.
ton Was the subject OF Investigation
and agitation, bat tho agitation went
o. oil the same, and the legislative
branch OF tho government WAS kept
- now, continually patching up
some compromise measures to keep
that relic OF barbarisln on Its feet.
The facts are that the present ef-
fort Of Congress IL directed to the
building up OF these classes that are
aiming to subjugate the masses to
the venal lusts Of their avarico, and
there will be no settlement Of this
question a. long rs the aim Of those
who are seeking to live out OF the
sweat OF other mems faces, or until
the present system IL overthrow
and the people resume their sover.
eighty and Issue their own currency,
let it be STAN ped on metal or paper
and compel these harpics to procure
their living out OF tho proceeds Of
their own labor.-(Rights Of Man.
