amounts upon the:I property. There
would be no suspensions, no breaking,
no lock ups, as there is now when
money is wanted worse. Thousands
of humble homes would be saved to
their owners who by our present bar
barous system will go into the hands
of usurers.
1t would be the best money the
world ever saw. Absolute money
created by law. Our courts have de-
cided that the monev is in the law and
not in the material the law is stamped
on, and that congress has the power
to create money.
The profits of national banks from
Sept. l, 1892, to Sept /, 1898, was
Sl5l, 694,G7l. OF the private banks we
have no record, but an estimate OF
5000, 900, 900 would be low. Here we
have not less than $751;, OJO,O 900 as
profits on banking alone National
banks do not loan money on real es'
tate, and private banks and trust com
panies only report s2Ol, 100000 as
loans secured by realty, showing that
the vast mortgage indebtedness OF
farm property is held in individual
names, coming through firms OF
agencies. Excessive interest con
sunes nations. The great life insur.
ance companies calculate per cent
as rate Of interest large enough to
meet their lapses and pay their ex.
penses. The immediate result of the
adoption of the Peoples party plar
would be the reduction of interest by
all money loaners to the government
maximum rate Of per cent. Mort.
cages would be paid off or re
newed at the per cent
rate, holders would gladly take
per cent above the government rate
rather than be paid off and have idle
money on their hands. The reduc
ton of interest on the 100000, 900, OOC
of debt in this country now averaging
per cent would save to the people
who work and create wealth the i'm
mense sum of 81, 200, 900, 900 annually
Our government was made for tbs
greatest good to the greatest number
The old parties have made it money
machine for the 10000 bankers and
money loaners. Neither proposes tC
stop their plundering Of the laborers
farmers, mechanics and producers o.
wealth, and resist every effort made
for the relief of the people,
By this plan the profits would in
crease yearly and in few years the
government would be the banker o
the people, thus fulfilling the desire
OF Jefferson, Jackson and Calhoun.
Is there any man who can give ;
good reason why this should not b.
done?
This would carry out the doctrine
of equal rights to all and exclusiv,
privileges to none, and those tina
oppose it are not in favor of equa
rights to all men.
The government as now admins
tered acts the part of a cruel step
father to the masses and of a kind
indulgent, affectionate parent to tn,
bankers and corporations and trust
that plumber the people at will, ant
they are assisted to do so by the gov
eminent Shame.
Americans, all Of you who by you
daily toll create wealth, sowing TO
others to gather, can you in justice t
your families, many of you in wan
of the necessaries that family Shout,
have and that you are deprived Of
can you longer support politica
parties whom all acknowledge ar
corrupt, and who administer the gov
eminent as machine to gather richie
for the already rich? Will you longe
be party slaves and wear the yoke o
oppression and degradation? II so
liberty is lost and you are only fit 70
slavery. do not believe you are.
Join the Peoples party, the onl,
party that is truly democratic, tn
only party that is really republican
and assist it in its efforts to redeem
our common country from the rule O.
plutocracy and the power Of money t,
