What do the Pop farmers who are
talking for free silver think Of this
utterance Of their state organ, the
Topeka Advocate: "The silver agi-

is leading people to the conclusion
that metal money is a relic Of bar
barism, and that the fiat Of the
government is what makes money,
whether it is stamped on metal or
printed on paper" 1t simply proves
that the Peoples party is not the
