An HONEST DOLLAR.

which does not rob the credit y but
which turns tD bim ut the end Of the
contract time all that he parted with
at the beginning, and at the same time a
dollar which does not ROB the debtor.
II must be dollar which takes from
toe debtor only 30 much Of his life, Of
his labor and of bis products as we're
contracted for at the beginning.
The single gold standard does not
furnish such a dollar as the logic Of
recent and current events demonstrates
to all reasonable men. Gold without
silver is becoming a tyrsnt,i he par-
dered vaDdal pet Of princes, ,ask-
master reaping where II has not soTn.
For two hundred years silver has held
the scales Iof ju,tice evenly: balanced
between debtor and creditor at tie
ratio Of sixteen 10 one and for this aud
many other reasons we demand the
restoration Of silver to It's constitutional
place as redemption money with gold.
Any man with a cienr head and an
honest heart must admit sooner tT
later, that silver, has not deprecated
at all. 1t Is simply gold that bas risen
in It's purchasing power aud our credit
ors are now able to draw more wealth
from us - pay our obligations in the
single gold standard which has Il
contt lntly increasing power oyer
all debtor nations who haye lost
one half ofall their real money through
demonetiziti Of silver,
The nations which ruled the coun
tries OF the Mediterranean for centuries
used gold and silver as redemption
money through demonetizatiOn-InoD

| Of the earth one half Of all their real
money. This may succeed In Asia, In
India and In Egypt, but will IL succeed
ln this republic? We hope not, but we
shall see aud record the report Of this
nation In 1893
IL cannot escape public attention
that the same cunning and crafty
financlers who were our creditors an d
held our obligations to pay millions Of
dollars. Nor IL this all, they were un-
doubtedlly the occult authors Of the
Sherman law under which one hun.
dred and hfy millions Of treasury
notes were issued IN payment for silver.
This would seem 10 argue them no foe
TO silver, but the. real object Of this law
was TO dIsarm the people while they
slept unsuspectlng the deity concealed
motives OF our creditors 10 finally de-
stroy our silver as money outright aud
forever.
II must not be forgotten that these
treasury notes are not money. They
are only promises 10 pay money and
must finally have redeemer In gold
com, and We must buy this gold from
our creditors tO enable us 10 own
even our own silver as money. IL should
also be remembered by our people
that we have five hundred millions of
silver aud that not one dollar ~ Il h
now real money, We must redeeni u all
under the single gold standard. Are
