When the Independent News Assoc
citation sent out I'll, news of the sus-

patches to the capitol. word was
wired TO \. Y, and Sunday morning
found Foster in New York in Con-
ference, and the Associated Press
dupes stuffed with batch of fresh
wool for the eyes of servile dupes.
The public was informed that the

the gold ''coin" in the Z. S. treasury
was as follows:
January LIST $156, 600, 900
February LIST 147.375, 900
February 18th $4,000 900
Now notice, this is the Official re-
port furnished the Associated Press
and the hundred million reserve
(by law is impaired over ten million
dollars.
The report says: "Gold coin and
bullion, 1926, 1888, 152. Gold certif-
Gates. [liabilities-outstandingl$ $780,
$50, 339." Subtract the two items!
Here is the tremendous loss in Al
days, of
SIXTY-SEvEN MILLIONS OF GOLD!
But In the treasury on Feb. 1st there
were only fifteen millions in gold GER
tifcates. February 18th there were
eighteen millions--an actual increase!

thlrty-one millions-an increase.
Silver certificates, Feb. LIST, four
millions; Feb. 18th, ELEVEN millions.
Now, Mr.. Foster, what kind of illegal
tenders" have you paid out for ten
million dollars worth Of GOLD?
Have you promised three per cent

Now mark you: On this identical
lay of Feb. 18th, with Sec'y Eos
er In New Yorh, Sen. Sherman in
Washington comes forward with an

bearings per cent. and providing
sou, 600 for the expense. These bonds
're gold on gold interest. AS gold
'oes up bonds go up and the treasury
soes doWn-a national contract and
' gold premium.
By this gigantic iniquity we SIM
'ly keep gold on the circuit, ever ,
exchanging at premium, piling up ,
lebt for toll to pay, and hurting our
esources into the ravenous NAV of
he worlds plutocracy'
1t may be said that whereas we lie
'ort but SO millions of gold the treas J
rer and the daily press announce c
IL million, or IL million "freen gold t
over the redemption 100 million. S
hat statement is jusglery of the G
apartment, and untrue! If that t
tatement be true then the Treasury /
as issued $11, 900, 900 of certificates f
n that redemption gold! Look this t
llemma square between the horns. !
