Or surrender. This reserved right ls a part

or surrender. This reserved right Is part
of o1a Bond IF sysry contract eae
itor or claimant can set up right that
can take precedence over a nations obliga-
lions TO promote the welfare OF the masses
Of its own people. This Is 4 debt higher and
more binding than all other debts and one
which Ii is not only dishonest bat treason
able to ignore.
Under the financial policy that now pre-
walls we see the land filed with idle and dis
contented workingmen and an eyer-grow wing
army of tramps-men whom lack or WORK
and opportunity have made outcasts ana
beggars At the other end we find thu
few thousand families own One-halr the
wealth of the country. The Capitalization
OF wealth has gone hand in hand with ,ne
spread of poverty The pauper and the
plutocrat are twin children or the Same
vicious and unholy system. The situation Is
full Of menance to the liberties OF the people
and the life of the public The issue Is en-
reimbursement or hopeless seryitude. W nat
ever the power of the money can DO by DC
bauchery and corruption TO maintain Its
grasp on the lawmaking power will be done;
We therefore appeal - the plain people OF
the land with perfect confidence III thelr
patriotism and Intelligence To arouse them;
selves to full sense of the peril that con-
fronts them and defend the citadel OF their
liberties with a vigilance that shall neither
slumber nor sleep.
They Offer No Solution.
In all the arguments offered against
the rehabilitation of silver there is
noticeable absence of any suggestion
for remedy for the difficulties that
beset the producing classes the world
over where gold monometallism exists.
The one plea is that the monopoly OF
gold in the measurement OF values
shall be allowed to go on. The insist
ance is unremitting that there Is no
remedy for the continued appreciation
of the purchasing power of the yellow
metal. The individual who contracts
a debt to-day that is payable with
certain amount of labor or a certain
quantity of the product of his brain or
muscle, which is the same thing, must
be compelled to face the necessity OF
not only paying the fixed interest upon
the obligation, but he must be prepar-
ed to pay an additional amount equal
to the enhanced value Of gold at the
time his debt becomes due.
None but the most feeble efforts are
made to deny the plain fact that in
dustry everywhere is suffering from the
money blight. They admit that the
price of silver was demoralized by the
extension of the gold standard policy
at the demand of the money sweaters.
At any rate no denial of that fact is
ATTEMPTED But they offer no hope OF
q return to the bimetallic basis except
by vague references to a possible H.
ternational agreement to that end.
International cooperation was not
necessary to go the other way, and 1t
would be impossible for them to show
| that there is any other bar to the re-
Mobilization of silver independent of a
general agreement other than the pow
err that the money monopolists have
gained through the Independent action
| of the various Industrial countries
The weakness of their arguments lies
| in the fact that their discussions are
confined to the very obvious and super
fetal aspects of the question without
| touching upon the real economic fea-
lures of the case. And by this policy
they hope to keep the people blinded
to the material considerations which
| embrace the real and vital part of the
great subject.-Denver News.
