POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

freedoms battles, though oftel
lost, are always won"
Remember it is possible to pay too
dearly for ones whistle. Are the votes
of the silver states worth what we
offer for them?
Gold is a splendid thing from which
to manufacture heather gods for fools
to worship, but it is not fit for money.
Clay Center Dispatch.
IAN adequate metal base or none"
says Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska.
Mr.. Bryan is to be Mr.. BANDS chief as
sistant in the fight for silver. The true
populist says mo metal base, no swap
ping dollars"
How fifty dollars per capita is to be
evolved from a total supply of metal
for money use, of less than $40 per
capita for the increase in population,
doth not yet appear. Bimetallism is
Dead sea apple.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, threatens
the formation of silver party" 1t is
well. Let there be a gold party, a sill
yer party and greenback party, and
then let the war be to the knife and
the knife to the hilt.
If the law in India can knock
twenty cents out Of silver dollar what
could the law of the United States do
for the gold dollar? Suppose we try it
now while we are experimenting
Clay Center Dispatch.
Don't forget that gold is not money,
but that money is the voice of the peo-
pie or the representative of power con-
centrated IN a stamp. What the people
say is money goes" never forget it;
never doubt.-Iowa Farmers Tribune.
Let congress demonetize silver,
then will the people decapitate con-
gress and return another that will de-
monetize gold, and put the business of
the country on a solid greenback (no
exception clause) basis. - Pittsburg
Kansan.
The production of gold and silver
combined, in the United States, is al
most the same per capita that it was in
1878. How is the free coinage of sill
yer, or the issue of paper money based
on gold and silver, expected to give the
people any relief.
What is needed and must come is
an American money for American peo-
plea currency which, when called
abroad, will return to the borders
wherein it was issued-a full legal
tender money, no matter of what it
may be made.-Nonconformist
The money of the future, must be a
promise to receive-not to pay. The
fact that the government received
greenbacks in payment of custom dues
made them as good as gold, although
instead OF promising to receive them,
we stated on their back that we would
not do so.
If silver is demonetized and its
coinage stopped, gold will soon follow
suit. The people of this great Amer.
lean nation will see to it that it is
done. They do not propose to become
the slaves of lot of gold gamblers
This is not made as threat, but as q
prophecy, or rather as a belief that
manhood will triumph over greed and
gold--Iowa Farmers Tribune.
1T is stated in Washington that one
OF the numerous financial measures
that will be introduced in congress viii
be a bill providing for the demonetiza

the standard. The statement come:
from what are known as silver men
and those who are classed as gold
bugs" say that it is only a joke. We
shall see.-Junction City Tribune.
If congress succeeds in leaving sill
yer out of the money functions of thi.
country, there will be the greatest de
struction of values that has been seer
in the world In five hundred years
There will be no known values for 3
