The money fight is not so much wheth-
er we shall have gold and silver as il
is whether banking institutions shall
furnish their credit as the currency of
the country at an enormous profit, and
as a means Of sweeping the financial
platter about every ten years. No cur

the government itself. = Progressive

Even gold standard advocates admit that
but they say the prosperity would be tenn

of the prosperity being temporary

There is one thing which the leaders on
the two old parties never try to explain
Since 1865, although blessed with abun-
dant crops, debts have increased, money
has appreciated in value, but all the pro-
ducts of labor have decreased With I'M

iible fools may believe thereof that it is
glorious thing for Rockefeller to endow
