~ cheap coat makes Il cheap man.
said candidate for the presidency 4
few years ago. There is Il good deal
of truth in this. a man who is get
ting cheap wages must necessarily buy
Il cheap coat lie would buy n better
if he could but circumstances are
against him. Therefore he calls for 4
cheap coat.
This is the situation of the United
States at present With low prices for
our products we want cheap goods, and
the goods are not as proportionately
cheap as the raw material. What is
the result? 1t is this, the man who
bought his raw material below cost is
still hanging on to business. The man
who didn't has been compelled to so
cut of business.
Cheap products mean cheap living.
The man who gets half price for his
cotton or his wheat or his corn is not in
Il position to pay many of his current
debts. or TO make any new debts. He Is
brought to Standstill. He may be
able to pay few of his debts. but he
is not able to do any trading. This fact
may he rcgayled as conclusive-that the
more money the farmers receive for
their crops the more money they will
have To spend with the business men.
The less money they receive the less
they will have 10 spend.
That is the sum and substance of the
whole financial question. 1t is a ques-
ton of higher prices; it is a matter of
business. The fewer dollars there are
in circulation the greater sacrifice there
must be TO obtain them. The farmer
must give larger proportion of the
products of his labor. The business
man or merchant must give larger
quantity of his goods. This is what is
called low prices. and if the farmers
and business men think that low prices
are sign of prosperity they ought
10 support the single gold standard
unanimously.

Brief lSimctaIIiSts

The meeting of Congress will jnauy-
urate the greatest currency debate in
the history of the country.
For dead craze" the silver question
is playing an exceedingly lively part in
all party conventions this year.
A new force pump is advertised as
1.-The gold s>.ldard.' Appropriate name.
The gold standard pumps dry.
There were two or three months in
1893 when this country imported gold
but times didn't get any better.
If you want to throw gold advoca te
into Mysteries, just propose the holding
of convention of the people to vote on
the money question.
First the income tax was declared I'm,
constitutional and now the sugar boun-
ty meets the same fate. What did the
Fifty-third of blessed memory do be-
side draw it's salary?
Free coinage clubs are being organ
lied throughout the Northwest-the
people joining them without regard to
past political affiliations The people
arc going to put an end to the dOmina-
ton of the gold bond ring in 1896.
The Republican Free Silver League
Of Kansas has made n poll Of that
state finding that majority of influ-
entail Republicans are for free silver
Replies from 122 Republican papers,
90 are for free silver, ~ undecided and
the rest for international agreement"
The gold advocates have everything
to gain by the inaction of the people,
After silver has been demOnetized, and
it's coinage stopped and the gold stand
ard established by law, they admonish
repeople to keep quiet. They say this
is not the time to agitate the money
question. Their plea is, "Agitate any
question you like. but don't stir up the
money question"

reply to the request of the Gold
Standard Association for an rX-
Il preston of his views upon the sub
jcct Of bimetalism Mr. Gladstone
writes that lie stands by his utteranccs
in Parliament two and Il half years
ago. He regards bimetaliSm-not free
coinage-as Il passing humOr doomed to
nullity and disappointment, and adds
that he is convinced that If London
stands firmly by the gold standard no
power that bimetallism commands will
be able 10 overcome it.
This. says the Atlanta Constitution,
should put the American people upon
notice that they must rely upon their
own efforts in their fight for currency
reform. 1t is idle folly to hope for
EnglandS consent to any proposed
scheme of international bimeiallism
and all talk of it is simply n delu>ion
and 4 snare. The gold standard lead
ers in this country and in England hold
out the hope OF international action for
the sole purpose of dividing the ranks
of the silver men and delaying the

viii be found that the international
bimetallists are under the control of
the English Gold Standard Associa ton.
Mr. Gladstone undoubtedly speaks
for the controlling financial powers
in England. and when we recall his
words in Parliament two or three years
ago we can no longer doubt the settled
policy of Great Britain. Mr.. Gladstone
said that lie favored the gold standard
because England is the creditor coun-
try OF the gorld by $4,000. 100000 and
the establishment of bimetallism
would be equivalent to Il present from
her OF 5000. o0O. OO0 to her debtors.
We shall have To throw off the yoke
OF England'S financial domination As
we threw off the yoke of her political
supremacy We did not wait for her 10
grant Us our Independence: we eatab
lished il ourselves. 1t must be the same
way with our financial system. We
must shape it 10 suit our OWN needs
whether England likes it or not. Ii
will be twice as easy for us TO establish
The bimetailic standard as il WAS for
England 10 establish the gold standard.
Tor we have all the silver using nations
20 back us, while she had the world
;rrayed against her.
Independent action is the policy for
this country. Nothing will ever be done
80 long as we wait for the gold stand
ard countries OF Europe To come To our
relief.

THE SAGACIOUS TURTLE.
y Willy BIacksnake Makes a Vafr
Fight Against a Tortoise.

John Munsell. of Writings, y. J.. an
old woodsman and Il well-known local
preacher, has seen many strange events
among the pines, one of the strangest
OF which was combat between Il large
black snake and Il land turtle The tur-
lie, since its race with the rabbit in the
fables of AeSop. has been accredited
with much sagaicity. and this tale fully
proves it, When the combat was first
noticed the turtle lay in the middle of Il
sandy road. his boX-l;ke Shell tightly
closed. while the black snake with his
head WaS pounding il upon the back
with the hammer-lille blows that he can
give forcibly
When the snake grew tired Of pound
ing the turtle would uncloSe his box"
and poke out his head. then the black
snake would begin again This was
kept UP till the weary snake WAS no
longer noticed when the turtles head
came out. Then the turtle started
crawling along by the side of the snake
toward its head. Again the snake re-
neWed is attack. and after several
trials, each time firing out the snake.
the turtle reached point by the
snakes side about six inches from its
head. Here it reached out its paw and
scratched the snake. His snakeship
started up to deliver another blow. but
not calculating upon the changed loca-
ton Of the turtle. the neck instead OF
his head struck the now open box Of
the turtle.
Quicker than a fash the shells shut
tightly together and the snakes neck
was Il prisoner. Wildly the snake tore
about the soft sand cf the road. tossing
the turtle hither and thither. but still
the turtle held fast. and the snakes
struggles became weaker and weaker,
then ceased altogether When the snake
had lain quiet few moments the shell
of the turtle opened slightly and its
bright. bead-like eyes pecred out Then
he turned around and looked at the
snakes tail. but even that ceased to
move. Dropping the neck Of his an
tagoniSt, the turtle then walked around
his prcStrate foe with triumph in his
every motion. An examination of the
snake showed that its neck WAS com
pletely fiattened OUT where ii had beer

Jan. 1, is intended to prevent the eXpor.

asserted that he has no authority under

because it was recognized as an edible,
but he has taken Il new means for reach

"Short Weight Money!

The oddities ask the question: who
is in favor of receiving short weight or
cheap silver dollars for his wages or
for commodities which he offers to
SELF"
Let Us see On June l, 1890. we had
in circuls ton - million of standard
silver dollars, and 321 millions of silve,
certificates For each dollar Of certi1i-
cafes there is deposited in the Govern
ment vaults n silver dollar or unsound
metal. so that in effect the people We're
using 3I3 million of silver dollars or
little over five dollars for each person
in the United States. The common peo-
pie sold their commodities and were
paid for their labor with this money.
Doyou say it was short weight money"
or cheap money?
What else did they have to use as
money: There is not enough gold.
What gold there is is under the control
of the gold syndicate, and beyond the
reach Of che common people.
Silver is net short weight money.
Short weight means cheat and a
silver dollars or silver certificates for
his days wages or his cattle, hogs,
wheat, corn. oats or hay? Silver dol
lars and silver certificates are q legal
tender. Didn't the people pay a dol
lars worth of debt and buy 4 dollars
worth of goods with them?
In the face of these facts. the gold
bugs must think the people are fools.
What can be their object in calling
the money of the people short weight"
or dishonest" money? 1t is to turn
the people against silver. 1t is intended
to mislead and deceive them. They
have stopped the coinage of silver dol
lars and set up the gold standard. The
next thing on the program is to destroy
the greenbacks.
Their object is to crush OFT every
thing but gold, and then everybody
will have to go to them TO get money.
How the price of gold would then go
up. Under the gold standard now it
requires about ten bushels Of wheat
TO get Il five-dollar gold piece. Under
the gold policy approaching the value
Of that metal it will soon require fif-
teen bushels. The gold men want to
make money scarce. They do not deal
in horses cattle, sheep, wheat, corn,
oats and hay; and If money is scarce
and the people cannot get it, prices
will be low and it will require more of
these products to get a dollar What
wonderful financiers these gold men
are.
The gold standard is an instrument
OF oppression. The people must take
this matter in their own hands and
drive the money changers out of the
temple of liberty.

The Peoples Money.

1t looks now as though you might as
well try to reverse the course of the
rivers as to get the masses to have any
thing less than free coinage Of silver at
n ratio not less than 1G to 1, as 1t was
before it was demonetized by the bond
holders and money spectators in 1873.
