II. Bryan is to be Mr.. BANDS chief as

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,

Senator Jones, of Nevada, threatens
the formation of ''silver party" 1t is
well. Let there be gold party, sill
yer party and a 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 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 solid greenback (no
exception clause) basis. - Pittsburg

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

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 it's
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 a lot Of gold gamblers.
This is not made as threat, but as a
prophecy, or rather as 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 will
be bill providing for the demonetiza-
ton of gold and the making of silver
the standard. The statement comes
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 this
country, there will be the greatest de-
struction of values that has been seen
in the world in five hundred years.
There will be no known values for a
series of years. After that the millen-
ium will come, the people will learn the
oppression of metal money and repudi-
ate the whole thing; when that is done
1t will revolutionize the world; it will
bring peace on earth and good will to
men. 1t will be the destruction of one
of the last relics of barbarsm that is
to-day enslaving the world. The gold
power is to-day doing sonnet thing it has
no conception of-Industrial Union
THAT silver will be again demone-
tized in the United States there is not
much reason to doubt; and it is per-
fectly natural that the friends of the

manding the demonstration of gold
Indeed it is not difficult to show the
justice and reasonableness of this de-
mand. Why should one commodity, a
commodity owned almost exclusively
by the rich, be clothed with special
monetary power, while all other COM
modities are denied the privilege?
This makes of the gold owners priv

The issue before the American peo-
pie is not the relative merits of mono
metallism and bimetallism, but the
fight is between those who advocate
the claims of the commodity" system
OF finance and the advocates of the s'nu-
merary' monetary system. Gold and
silver men are alike 'scommodity'
money men, in that they maintain that
there must be a standard of value, :"
consisting of a certain set quantity of
some certain metal, or metals. The
