permanent range OF tue price Of isbr and
property IL the inoet Important political ques-
ton nwsitibg solution by the American people.
That s diminishing quantity OF money re-
duces the price OF Labor and property. enriches
the creditor, impoytrishes the debtor, and par
aiyses industry and enterprise
Thst the present financial system OF the,
United States, which Increases or diminiehee
the circulating medium at the pleasure Of the
mspipHlst5rs Of the pAtiolELbanbs, without
regard to the increase Of population or the

power Of the Government TO issue money, and
! which has frsudulently demcnetized silver and
1 seized the revenues of the Government for
| private speculation. shocks the moral ssnse Of
the people and destroys respect for the govern.
ment and law. We demand that this ring or
trost be destroyed. and equal rights be restored
TO all the people.

willing tool or agent OF powerful money ring,
which fstsens on the subsidies OF the Govern.
ment, makes war on silver Issues its paper cur.
reney at the exponss Of the Government, bor-
rows the revenues raised by taxation and uses
them without the payment OF interest, con-
tracts TO enhance the value OF bonds, and
enriches usurerE, whiis II dcpresses the price
Of labor and property.
That we favor the nomination Of NO m4n for
President who Ia personally interested in M.
tional banks or the bonded Indebtedness OF the
United States, but we demand candidate who
