The Democrats howl about these
bills and call them wild and crazy.
They say that these bills would have
bankrupted the country. Now what
are the facts? Not a single one Of
the above bills call d for one cent of
taxation. They were intended to re-
lieve distress and put money into cir
culation. Every one of these bills
provide that when the money of the
country reaches $50 per capita that
no more money shall be issued, only
sufficient amount each year to keep
the circulation up to $50 per capita,
as business and population increases.
Any thing wild about this? Any
thing to bankrupt the country in
this? We challenge any Democrat
in the State to say that he is opposed
TO increasing the money of the couu-
try to 800 per capita The editor Of
the CAUCASIAN feels the need of more
money every day. Every business
man feels it and every laboring man
feel it.
The bills that are bankrupting the
country are the bills establishing a
National Banking system, striking
down silver, contracting the curren
cy, issuing gold bonds, and increas-
ing the debt Of the people. These
bills We're offered by anarchists, they
were voted for by anarchists. Who
IS responsible for this accursed legis-
lation that is running the country!
The Democrats passed every one of
those bills or helped to pass them.
Senator Ransom is the only Demo-
crat from this State who has been in
Congress while all of these measures
We're beirg passed and he voted for
every one of them. Then who are
the anarchists who are running the
country! Ransom is the chief an
archlst Of them all.
We have just received letter
from Congressman Davis answering
the Democratic charges and explain
ing the above bills. We sent him
copy Of the charges that the Demo
Gratis are making. Read his letter in
another column headed The enemy
hard up. After you have read TINS
letter, If there is still any doubt in
your mind we will ask you to read
something else. We have just got
ten an official statement from Hon.
J. H. Turner, the Secretary of the
National Peoples Party Committee,
and publish 1t IN another column. 1t
is heade | Democratic Hypocrisy
Show Up" Turn and read it now.
You will see from the facts which
he quotes from the record that the
Democrats have been "wilder and
more crazy than the Populist Patty
were. You will see that the sum to-
tai Of the appropriations called for
by Democratic bills is over ten times
as much as the Peoples Party were.

Senator Palmer, introduced one bill
that called for a larger oppropria-
ton than all the Peoples Party bills
combined. The bill was introduced
by Senator Palmer on April 18th, ,
1891, and is numbe 1917. 1t calls
for $33 ,6S5, ,90S ,904. This is $3,078,
1885 more than all the Peoples
Party bills combined.
Senator Ransom, Senator Jarvis,
and other Democratic speakers who
are making such unjust statements
about the Peoples Party must be ig,
norant of these facts. If they knew
the facts, surely the most common
sense of decency and self respect
would force them to stop making
such misrepresentatiOns.
ISit possible that they know betteri
Q If so, this explains why they have
refused to meet our speakers on the
stump.
