The dollar of the contract is always
IN honest dollar.
Revolution is not bound by constitu-
tional limitations.
The way to protect the gold reserve
e to pay out silver.
The man who thinks for himself II
the man who succeeds.
The issue is, which is the greater,
the citizen or the dollar?
The way to increase the volume of
currency is to increase it.
Will some one tell us what silver
bullion is being piled up for?
Let the democratic party issue
more bonds and its doom is sealed
Emporia (Kan.) Tidings.
1t is an interesting fact that the
heavier the dollar conceived, the lighter
the brain that conceives it.-Jeweu
County News.
Unparalleled prosperity is within
the grasp of the people, but they must
reach out with the hand of political &C
tion.-Missouri World.
Has any one heard of the demo
cratic party squeezing any of the gil
gantic trusts out of existence? Don't
ell speak at once.-Oberlin Herald.
Raising of wages, though desirable,
Is not a solution of the wage question.
The system is inherently wrong and
must be discontinued. Cooperation
must take it's place.-Nonconfor
There must be uniting of the
Of< lo H.
this cannot be done in either of the old
parties is self-evident. Then why not
cut the old party tie at once?-Missouri

Gold is no better than silver or pa
per money to do business with, or to
pay the ordinary debts of the people.
In fact there is but very little gold
money in circulation.-Shelbyville (In.)
Peoples Paper.
1t is reported from Washington that
poll of the house Of representatives
shows majority of thirty-fve in favor
of the free coinage of silver. In such
house it will be easy to redeem the
pledges of the democratic platform to
repeal the Sherman law and to substi-
tute for it the coinage of both gold and
silver without discriminating against
either metal and without charge for
mintage.-St. Louis Republic.
1t seems quite clear that Wall street
Is manipulating the gold situation for
the purpose Of creating a gold panic.
They wish to get up just enough gold
panic to make the United States issue
bonds to buy gold, and of course as
they have the gold they will take these
bonds at gold profit to themselves.
There is nothing small about Wall
street. They are quite ready to take
care of the finances of the whole coun-
try.-Beacon.
Nearly all our railroads owned by
subjects of other nations; our trust
bonds held in Europe; vast per cent.
of our farm mortgages the same; yet
the jackasses in high places, behind
the press and pulpit, look wise and
dwell upon the balance of trade" of
American gold going to Europe to "pay
for goods" ''traveling expenses and
the like for American husbandmen
who are off sightseeing. All on ac-
count of the ff!-Nonconformist
Foreign bankers have been clean
ing out the gold little by little draw
ing the meshes about the American
Spectators. Finally the break set in,
and after squeezing out a general de-
cline of rs to so per cent they swoop
in and rake the pot, to the tune of ILL.,
TT shares, ship them across the water
for safe keeping only to return the
coupons semi-annually for the next
fifty years to collect their interest in
gold, and call it balance of trade"
And the great papers call it 'sound
fnanciering. "-Nonconformist.
The legislature of Minnesota has
appropriated $500, ZOO for the erection of
state grain elevator. This is legisla-
ton in the right direction. The solu-
ton of the social problem lies in the
public ownership and control of public
utilities, and the sooner more of our
legislatures come to an intelligent I'M
Outstanding of this fact and follow the
example of Minnesota the sooner the
problem will be solved. If three or
four of the western grain-growing
states possessed state elevators, the
anti-option question would be settled
and settled right for all time.-Advo-
cate.
Don't forget that while the pur-
chasing power of the dollar grows by
contraction, that it's debt paying power
diminishes in the same ratio. In other
words, you must produce a constantly
increasing amount of products in order
to secure the dollar to pay the debt 1
tell you, may friend, there is more in
the philosophy of the dollar ethan our
Horatio hath ever dreamed Of" Yes,
we are beginning to see it and may
easily profit by our knowledge. A few
have made millions out of our ignorance
on the subject. Now let our knowledge
make millions for the many.-Iowa

President Clevelands vigorous de-
nunciation of trusts, in his inaugural
address, is causing considerable merri-
ment in Wall street, particularly among
people who are familiar with the class
of securities in which he specialized
and made the bulk of his present for
tune. If anyone will take the trouble
to closely scrutinize the list of Mr..
Cleveland's warmest friends and back
ers, it will be found that without an
exception they are either directly or
