A moments reflection will explain
what this means. 1t not only covers
the right to Tx the rates Of interest,
but to govern the prices Of every
product of labor and the farm through
out the known world. The battle is
on. 1t cannot cease now until the
issue is decided. The victory will be

EyeV dollar should be the equal of

dred cents. That standard al agree
is the correct starting point, The
issue is not upon that point, but the
fight is for quantity. If the twenty
five thousand can demonetize all metals
but gold-then they can demonetize
all paper money. The real question is
shall the money of the people be made
in the interest of the people or for the
benefit of the twenty-five thousand?
How other nations may solve this
problem is not the question to he solved

be settled in the United States? That's
the question. What is best for the

Wall street. That is the whole thing
in a nutshell. They say to Kansas,

mines In Colorado, then you can sell
all your butter and eggs and grain and
live stock in New York, and pay the
freights, and Wall street will dictate
