''You Pays Your Money and Takes Your
Choice"

s'You Pays Your Money and Takes Your
Choice"
TRYING ALL PARTIES
At the session of the national confer.
ence of the state presidents of the
Farmers Alliance, the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That IL is the sentiment and desire
OF this conference OF the presidents of Farmers
Alliances and Industrial Unions, that the dele
gates for the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union who attend the industrial conference 70
be held in St Louis, February p, 1922, use theil
influence and votes to establish and perfect
fraternal relations with all the labor organiza-
tions represented in said meeting with the
Ocala demands as basis for q platform of prfr,.
ciples, and that such platform be presented to
the national conventions of the democratic
party, the republican party and the peoples
party this year, with earnest request that
the principles involved be engrafted into their
platforms for the coming elections Of 1892; but
that they carefully refrain from committing our
order as such to aff1liation with any political
party.
BRILLIANT.
Ask the devil if he will purify hades,
submit a temperance plank to the sa.
loon-keepers' associations; submit the
Ocala demands to the republican and
democratic conventions with the same
old gang to carry them out even if in.
dorsed That is rilliant!-Noncon-
formist
F. NJ. B. A. AND THE LABOR CONFERENCE
1t will be remembered that the gen.
eral assembly of the Farmers Mutual
Benefit association selected a full set of
delegates to represent that organizR.
ton at the labor conference at St
Louis, February %. Delegates to such
a convention representing an organiza-
ton which strictly prohibits partisan
politics entering its deliberations are
on very ticklish ground, to say the
least. The February conference is al
most sure to launch partisan political
craft The question presents itself,
is it to the best interests of the f. M.
B. A., and the rank and file of that or
ganization who Joined a non-partisan
organization to have the delegates of
this organization assist in launching q
new party?-Muncie Qnd) Farm Rec
ord.
Here it is again; just the kind Of
twaddle indulged in here in Indiana in
advance of the Cincinnati conference
last May, for no other purpose than
throwing cold water and distrust on
every movement of the people looking
to cooperation for Independent action.
We believe the Nonconformist
is justified in saying that no intelligent
member of the peoples party wants
the alliance or F. NJ. b. A. to enter
| politics as such They are great edu.
cational reserve forces and schools, that
enable these organizations to bring
men together in the true non-partisan
spirit for the discussion of economic
ns--Nonconformist.

at once-why, the bank is ''busted'-
that is all The first 500. 900 called for
could be paid, providing the bank
officials had not misappropriated the
funds of the bank or the cashier had
not absconded to Canada with them.
But 1888, Ito of the deposits would be
found to have been transposed from
money into notes, such notes being Sc
cured by the real wealth of the COM
munity-in short-the communitv's
credit" And when we remem Der that
in 1890 various banking institutions to

pose to have) on deposit the sum of S4,-
1S9, 1000, ,000-with only the sum of S475,-
900. 900 in actual money in their vaults,
the grotesque righteousness of our
modern banking system is painfully
apparent And the absurdity of the
specie redemption" fad becomes more
clearly defined, when we know that a
goodly portion of even this S475, 900, 900
consisted of paper money.
Thus it is, that we, the exploited"
allow our foolish adherence to an in
| herited dogma to reduce us to a condi-
tlon of servitude, while our masters,
the ''exploiters" shout ''honest dollar"
las fleeing pick-pocket might shout
stop thief''), t, hide the fact that it is
not so much the honest, as the scarce
dollar they are after, to the end that
through the control of the volume of
money they may control labor and all
its products. Misled and duped by the
fallacious though ancient assumption
that the value is in the tool or medium
of exchange, ins cad of in the commod-
tiles exchanged, and forgetting that
the intrinsic value claimed for the
metal dollar, is at least three-fourths
of it impaired by the fat of law, we
limit our volume of money by the pre-
carious supply of these so-called
precious metals and spend our natural
lives in an endeavor to pay exorbitant
interest for the use of legal tool we
should furnish to ourselves at cost of
issue.
Money is legal instruments

preme court has said, is illegal

sidered in connection with money, is

value of money may be said to consist
VI 4CS value,
| this involves its powers to represent
value, measure value and exchange
value. and each and every power it in
cludes is impaired to it BIZ the mandate
of law. This ombination of powers
or attributes is embodied in what is
known as unit of account" which
term the priests who serve at the altar
of metallism have changed to the term
''unit of value" This is, seemi gly,
an insignificant and harmless change,
but the difference represents the line
of demarcation between the true none
tary science and the cunning and devil

power to accomplish the continuous
enslavement of productive and dis

The real estate dealers of the city
had meeting yesterday afternoon In
futile Bros.' Office for the purpose of
organizing . real eatate exchange, simi-
lar to the board of trade, for the exclu-
sive use OF real estate dealers. Those
present were as follows:
H. B. Huston, Lincoln Bowen,

Dunton, Charles Hogsdone. George

and A. B. Mason.
They will open Offices where bulletins
of bargains In real estate will be offered
daily. and the members will be brought
into closer relations with each other.
At present the association has thirty
members, but will enlarge by taking
into the association other reputable
dealers. The membership is as follows:
Perkins 4 Mason, l.. A. Paine, j. c..
