United We Win. Divided We Lose


1t is plainly to be seen that among
those, here and in Europe, who are talk
ing of doing something for the increas-
ed use OF silver there is not the slightest
intention>of giving the metal ito old
place. 1t is to be kept in the degraded
position Of a commodity. Then the
mem bers of the money power in the
different countries will put their heads
together and say how much silver is to
be bought. coined and put in clrcula-
tion as money. Thus the bank ers,
money-lenders and money manipulators
generally will be able to control the
amount of money in circulation the
sams as at present and still keep The
necks of the many IN their yoke. By
their arbitrary contraction of the Yoi-
ume of money in circulation they con-.
troll the prices OF all the products of the
working people of the worid-they in
crease The value of the money they have
in their hands and decrease the price of
every product of the soil aud the various
industries of the country. Thus the
money rings and the spectators con-
cerned in the busi ness of milking the in
dustries are playing very safe game
"a game in which everything Is in their
own hands. Like "keno,n their game
is a''sure- thingi'one for ,he dealer, and
if played long enough all outsiders will
be broke and those who run this game
will have all the money.
But that the amount of money in
circulation is arbitrarily controlled and
contracted by the money ring in Lon
h.at al
permitted to coin and put in clrcula-
tion the whole of the precious mstals
mined in the country, money wosld be
plentiful and the prices OF farm pro-
ducts, the products of ali trades and in
dustries, land and every kind of prop
erty would at once advance. This adj
vance in all commodities would of
course be owing to greater abundance
aud decreased value OF money, and it is
for that reason that the money rings
and men of accumulated wealth are
doing all in their power to prevent the
many from mining and coming the
the precious metals of our country. 1t
was for that reason that silver was out
lawed in 1873 1t vas feared Uy the
raen of accumulated wealth that the
purchasing power of the money thsy
held would De lessened, therefore they
entered into a conspiracy money
power in Europe and III this country
TO kill silver, the "money of the
massesn Aud they did commit this
great robbery of the people. But for
what was done by the money power
the people of the rining states would
have carried their silver and gold to She
mints where it would have been coined
and at once pat in circulation. The
products of our miHes OF the preeious
metals would then have taken their
natural course and the people at large
would have enjoyed vast degree of
prosperity in all these years since 1873.
If the people are ever again 10 be re-
stored to their old place and have the
right to carry to the mints and have
coined both of ths precious metals, il
will be after they have ceased electlng
TO the presidency the candidates thrust
upon them by the money power.
There is nothing that the people can
ask for that the plutocracy of the large
cities of the east will fight harder
against than the free coinage of silver.
This being the case, if the many ever
regain the right stolen from them by
the few, they will have to unite and
light for it. The working millions must
sink all petty differences and stand
shoulder and shoulder against this vam-
pire money power which is daily and
hourly sucking their life blood. All
who desire to SEE an advance in the
prices of property, the products of
labor, the products of the soil and the
springing into life of new industries
must unite against the money power
and deliver the people from the chains
it has placed upon their limbs. An in
dvidual who is being daily and hourly
bled-sleeping and waking-by usurers
and money sharpers cannot undertake
new enterprises and achieve great
works-he is the man bound hand and
foot-and it is the-same with the peo-
pie of nation in the power of greedy
money-ring. Industry.
