POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE

Let's hustle for new recruits
Legal tender government paper
age of silver.
Cotton. corn, wheat, pork, beef and
silver have a common interest. They
rise and fall together. Let them stand
together and they will conquer.-Farm-
ers' Tribune.
Legal tender government paper
money issued to the people in sufi-
cient volume to transact the business
of the country on cash basis is COM
ing. -Missouri World.
Even bankers and congressman are
beginning to believe that the silver
purchasing clause is not the cause OF
the money stringency, but on the
other band has prevented it's being as
stringent as it otherwise might have
been.-Farmers' Tribune
There is at least one thing left for
the people of this country to do when
silver is let out, and that is to demone-
tie gold, and the sooner we get at it
the better. 1t will not take long to
educate the people to that point; they
have been robbed until they are ready
to act at Once.-Industrial Union.
The money system now contem-
plated by the plutocracy, under the
leadership of the republican and demo-
cratic parties, is to enhance the value
of every interest bearing obligation
against the people and remove all
forms of money excepting gold and the
bankers paper and make gold the only
legal tender.-Political Review.
Suppose congress were to pass a
law to issue $500. 900, 900 in paper
money, not a legal tender. but re-
ceivable for taxes of all kinds, and
then provide that gold should no longer
be receivable for taxes of any kind,
which would represent the greater
price, that paper money or gold money?
Why, gold "would not be in tina
tional Advance.
The gold-bugs object to the free
coinage of silver and rail about the
folly of, as they term it, attempting to
fix a price for the white metal, but at
CAlC odAlC CtllC 1ASlSCs uOU Ou1y UlldU Ull0
value of gold as money be fixed but
that the yellow metal be made the only
measure of values Their honesty and
consistency is made the more conspicu-
Gus by it's absence. -Mackintosh Times
That all the great dailies are under
the control of the guiding mind is
proven by the frequency with which
or. 1c - IL
words appear in all of them at once
On August 3Oth, Or 81st, every one of
the great dailies had these lines:
"The benefcent results of the passage
of the repeal bill by the house are
already apparent. There is a revival
of business everywhere"
Free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer is simply p step in the right direc-
ton, but the addition it would bring
to the volume of money would not by
any means place the bujiness of the
country on a cash basis. Free coinage
must be supplemented by legal tender,
government paper money, and the
amount necessary can be determined
when the advocates of this plan gain
control of the government. Missouri

The populists did a good days
work at Lynn. The convention cut
out lines of reform that will smash the
monOpolies sooner or later. The time
has come, as the platform says, to take
the nations money completely out of
the realm of private speculation, and
also to monopolize private monopolies
in the public interest. The peoples
party is growing because its demands
are for all and not for some at the ex-
pense of others.-New Nation.
The republicans of Pennsylvania
have discovered that there is something
needed besides confidence They put in
their state platform a plank demand
ing that the currency be increased to
$40 per capita. If things go on in this
way much longer, the republicans TAX
ing up our demand for more money, the
democrats appropriating our demand
for an income tax, the populists will
soon have to get together and formu-
late some new demands or lose their
exclusive right to the names of cranks,
fanatics, calamity howlers, etc.-H. R.
