'All of the financial plans and bank
ing schemes of the money changers are
very similar. The plan always includes
some form of interest-bearing indebted
ness, which forms the basis or security
for the issue of bank bills, which is
adding debt to debt to be used as
money. And behind this bank
er's debt money scheme stands
the toiling people, the tax pay
ers, upon whom the whole bur-
den of interest rests. It is a plan
that has always enriched the few money
changers at the expense of those who
toll and produce all that constitutes
real wealth. But the people are grow
ing wiser and are demanding more
equitable financial system, which may
be briefly stated: Money, whether
metal or paper is used to receive the
money stamp, to be made a full legal
tender, issued by the general govern
ment at cost and in sufficient volume to
do the business of the country on a cash
basis.-Shelbyville Qll.) Peoples Paper.
The people demand more money.
The gold-bugs answer, let's make tho
currency safe. There is no trouble
about safety. All the complaint is
about scarcity. No one wants an un-
safe or bad dollar. All want a good
dollar and enough, of them to transact
the business of the country. But Mr..
Gold-bug responds: Let us make it
safe. Let us have only the gold STAN
dard, so that our money will be worth
more and all the products of labor 'ess.
That is what is meant by safety
AN ASSOCIATED PRESS LIE.
Thomas E. Watson and Thomas e. Winn
Are Yet Within the POpulist Fold.
The associated press lie published in
the World as specially that Col
Thomas Z. Watson and Hon. Thomas
t. VIM, of Georgia, representatives in
the congress just ended, would leave
the peoples party for the democracy, if
the Chicago platform was lived up to,
is the most deliberate and villainous of
recent associated press fabrications
The writer has received denial of the
story from the secretary of Col Wat
sons paper as follows:
Plain, old fashioned, Georgia democratic ly-
ing. Nothing unusual about it at all. The
Constitution is the daddy Of this particular lie

THOMAS z. WATSON
The Peoples Party Paper had lead
ing editorial on the matter, in which
the following paragraph appears:
Every dictate of common honesty,
of self-respect and loyalty, every feel
ing of patriotism, of regard for the fu-
ture of this great country, and of SYM
pathy with my fellow man, render it
absolutely impossible for me to harbor
the thought of giving up the fight for
better laws, brighter homes and hap
pier lives, until every word my lips can
utter has been spoken, and every line
my pen can write has been written. To
the neighbor who differs from me here

he will have it so, but 1 purchase no
praise by apostasy, and I want no
friends at the price of dishonor. NV
