THE MONEY DEVIL PREPARED
FOR THE EMERGENCY
A CHALLENGE.

MR.. EDIToR:-Increase the volume
of money to fifty dollars per capita
and you double the paying power of
labor and decrease the purchasing
power of all fixed incomes one half.
| The creditor class of the world antici-
pated this move and are prepared to
meet the emergency by the insertion
| of the gold clause in bonds and mort
Cages. 1t is their intention to exchange
bonds for United States notes to the
amount OF one hundred million dollars
and present them to the United States
Treasurer and exchange them for n
hundred million dollars of gold reserve.
They will then have a corner on gold
and will force a premium on it and
compel the people and the government
to pay it. Tney are prepared to act on
short notice and it is their intention to
do so as Dol as a successful move is
made to increase the volume of money.
They will exchange more bonds for gold
certificates and present them to the
Treasurer and take all the gold held
for the redemption of gold certificates.
This will contract the volume of money
to the extent of the United Sta, es Otes
and gold certificates presented for re-
demptiOn and this will precipitate the
worse panic in the history of this coun-
try, This is what Sherman and his
kind means when they say that the
Alliance plan chrystalized into law
will ruin the country. 1t is the inten.
ton of the creditor class to close all
mortgages in the West and Northwest
on lands, and as these mortgages are
held mostly by English subjects, we
will have, to all intent and purpose,
alien l~andlordism established in the
United States. The high premium that
will be put on gold by the creditor
class can be met by a prohibitive tariff
and export duty on cotton that would
enable us to sell our cotton at a price
that would correspond with the pre-
MUM on gOll. Farmers, you will have
to meet this emergency. Will YOU CO
operate at once to meet it or will YOU
give them four more years to fasten
the letters upon yOu2 I warn you
against that fraud of all frauds-tarif
reform. There is not a proposition
made by the Democratic party that
Will give you relief, but their adjust
ment OF the tariff would intensity the
evil.
1 challenge any Democrat to meet
me In debate on the following PROPOSE
ton: Resolved, that to enable the
farmers to fix a price on their great
staple crops 1t is necessary to levy a
prohibitive tariff on these articles, 1
also yarn you that I was raised q free
trader and am familiar with all the
arguments of this class.

THE DEMOCRATIC FORCE BILL

Mr.. EDITOR:-Some the Of the "ta
blue straightouts," as they call them
selves, have got hold Of the Sub Treas
ury bill and have torn it all to pieces
They have made a ''force bill" Outd
a part of it that is so well fixed up that
Mr.. Harrison just as we'll drop his. h
fact it is an improvement on Mr. H&
rison'5, and if he has a patent on bis
bill he will have to bring suit for in
fringement. The "true blues" claim
that the improved "force bill" Wild
in one year the same work that HE
rison's could hope to do in four Yeas
So you see the new bill has a great&
vantage over the Harrison bill Il
saves money, labor and time, making
it more desirable for campaign pH'
poses.
The model of the "force bill" IN
vented by the ''true blues" is JUSTIN
they are trying to beat it into the heads
of some of the Peoples party men WHO
are not very well informed on the plan
of the Sub Treasury bill, that if ltE
comes a law that it will starve the pG
pie to death in one year. They aI
that all the non-perishable producsd
the United States must be stored ID
the warehouses of the y lited STATES
and there remain not less than eleven
months and not twelve, and all Oes@
at once to the highest bidders. IheI
are telling white and black men t1es
things. In fact every n whotn9
think will believe such an unreaSG
able falsehood. They say that theSae
Treasury bill will force every man '
put his bacon, corn, cotton. etc. mm
warehouse and not allow him to rea4
anything to live on. OF course no Dad
who car see the length of his nOSeM
fore him will believe anything dI
kind, but at this time there are agn@s
many who can't see at all and W.
listen to such tales when told by "
bosses. And I do hope you will g"
us in your next issue the Sub-TFeasI!
bill in it's fullest and simplest t0I
and by so doing it will add many U'
to the Peoples party in NovemoeL
