the truth of things? Why do you
refuse to embrace the key to relief in
this situation?" That man replied:

dow IN the Farmers Savings Bank,
Walla Walla, we found stack of
"Sound Money" pamphlets. by the
window in the First National Bank of
Walla Walla sound money pamphlets,
by the window in the Bank of Wash
lngton, sound money pamphlets. A
line or two will serve as a sample of
the whole:
Credit or confidence is an element of far
greater importance in fixing or upholdng
prices than the mere amount of actual
money in use. or available for use: and, in
fact about 80 per cent of the entire bust
ness of the country is transacted without
the actual use of metallic money or its
paper representatives.
That is the open secret of it all
The banks want the credit system to
become fixed thing, because through
the credit system they are enabled to
reap great interest profits. Who does
not know that this credit system, from
the highest to the smallest affairs of
life, is the curse of the people today.
II is the most costly thing the public
can indulge in.
Go on, purblind philosophers of
Washington, and help circulate the
gospel of despair that will bring upon
this and other generations q most
terrific curse. Let gaunt serf-toil
and poverty become the fixed guest of
the nation and children become tired
little old men and women before they
are in their teens. The results of it
all may some day rise and crush you
with its own rebound. Go on and
assist in stamping out free manhood
and womanhood under the iron heel

Money, money! let its chink be your
music to drown the cries of tortured
humanity Let its yellow shine be
fairer than the eyes of Love or
friendship Let the piles in the cot

the fewl There are beggars in the
street and over the land, but they are
impostersl There is poverty every

Live so and then-diel This is n
land where, in the create Senate
house, a poor, perishabe lump of
clay dares stand up and advocate the
insiduous crushing out of his fellow
men-a land once mighty among the
mightiest, but which now, with Self
becoming the prime object of worship,
is fast beginning to hang, like an
over-ripe pear, loosely on it's tree
awaiting but touch to make it fall
A land where the wealthy, high fed
ministers of the nation slowly argue
away the lives of better men than
themselves, with vain words of colder
and more cruel force than the whrl-
