in the United States ever originated
such measure or ever thought of it.
In no part of our country had there
ever been movement of the people to
demonetize silver. No congressman
has ever been elected for such pur-
pose. 1t was put through congress on
the sly by the aid of John Sherman and
foreign gold without the consent of the
people ever expressed in any election.
The people of this country have repeat
edly since 1878 declared in favor of free
coinage of both the precious metals and
al this tine in congress there is a clear
majority in both houses in favor of such
Il measure and yet the same money
power that found ways and means to
demonetize silver without the consent
of the people, without even submitting
the question to the people has ever
since found ways and means to keep it
demonetized regardless of the wishes OF
the people. What will the harvest be:
Shall we 5submit to such treatment,
shall we let foreign gold run this ccun'
try, and shall we grovel IN the dust as
long as we can get crust to sustain
life or shall we rise up and be men and
by our united votes drive this cursed
usurper from the land.

Please give the following space

August last, our county auditor, pur.
suant to Instructions given him by our
Hon. Board of County Commissioners,
advertised for bids for grading on sec.

Sec. 31-l46.5S. In accordance with
said advertisement bids were submitted
to the Hon. Board and duly rejected by
said board on the grounds that they
were exorbitant, the lowest bid (mine)
was 94 cents per cubic yard. One Of
the commissioners claiming that, he
could do said grading with wheelbar.

A goodly Number of the citizer

A goodly Number of the citizens
around the vicinity of the Church
school attended the meeting of the
Pleasant View literary society last
Friday night. This was the first at
tempt of the society and the spectators
all said that they did splendid There
was very spirited debate over the old
question known as which is the more
beneficial to man, wood or iron. The
officers elected are President, II. A.
Farr; Vice President, Fred Rothert;
Secretary, Willie Boutwell,; Treasurer,
Gus Rothert. The question for debate
for Friday, Dec. 18th, is Resolved. That
men of thought have done more to
civilize the world than men Of action.
Everybody in the vicinity seem to be
interested in the society and there is no
reason in the world why we cannot
make Il success of it if properly carried
out. There is more benefit to be de-
rived from society like this than from
any two branches a scholar can take in
school. Another excellent feature Of
the entertainment is the query box that
we have every night for everybody. A
cordial invitation is given to everybody
to attend the society.

The much talked off temperance de-
bate occurred in the Congregational
church last Thursday night, the chur ch
being comfortably filled by persons in
terested in the question and the debat'
ers. Messrs. Champlin, Enslin and
Purinton argued that prohibition was
the best means of dealing with the Ii.
quor question, and Messrs. jacobson,
Warner. Hodge and CHM that it wasn't.
Julius Stevens was elected chairman,
and discharged his. duties we'll. Each
speaker was allowed fifteen minutes.
Judge Warner made a fine oratorial
display for the negative side and re-
ceived quite an ovation at the cOnclu-
sion of his remarks, while Mr.. Enslin
displayed the finest orstory on the af.
frmative side The judges, Mrs. Carle.
ton, E. w. Blackwell and DR.. Wanner,
decided in favor of the affirmative.

ever there was. What if there is. Who
can or will loan money to do business
on falling market and that is just
what we have got now. You say that
the government is out of pocket more
than SIC, ,SSs, $50 on the decline of silver
bullion stored in the U. s, treasury.
Thank you! That Is good one as the
boys say, that Is horse on you. Now
the tax payer will have this loss to make
good and it will be strange if they don't
want to know what Uncle Sam has been
up to to lose SO much money AMI whom
they begin to look around they will
soon see where the trouble is. 1t all
comes from the gold trust aad what do
they ca,e how much they put upon Un-
Gle Sans shoulders if 9hey can only
have chance to squeeze the public.
In 1916 tira. gold trust was started in
England. They demonetized silver and
soon commenced to put down the price
of al other commodities and KEEP. it up
until they ruined all the small farmers
and put the land into the hands of a
few great bond holders. That one act
made ths aristocracy of England the
creditors of the world while it made la
boring classes OF that country the poor
est and most miserable people of the
world. The aristocracy of other natio ms
of Europe followed suit with the same
effect and Immediately after our civil
war. They say their chance to get their
work in on us taking advantage of the
great national debt which we have had
upon us: In 1859 in an official report
by the finance commission appointed to
consider the question they argued thus:
That it must be rememb bered that Eng
land is largely a creditor country Of
debts payable in gold, and that any
change which entailed a rise in the
price of comm odities generally, that is
diminution of the purchasing power
OF gold weuld be to the disadvantage of
England.
There you have it in nutshell that
everything that would bring the price
of gold down would cause all other
commodities to 90 up, would made
good times for the masses and less dol
lars for the gold trust. The Bankers
Magazine of 1873 says that silver hav-
ing been demonetized IN England, Ger
many and Holland, capital of $500, 900
was raised, and Ernest Seyd, of Lon
don, was sent to the United States with
the fund as the agent of foreign bond
holders to effect the same object, the
demonstration of silver.
Now we see where the movement
came from, who started it and why it
was started, and by what means it was
accomplished. 1t originated with the
aristocracy of other countries, it was
put through by British gold and by
fraud in this country. It is foreign
measure originated by foreign bond
hslders. It is unAmeriean. No party
