DEADLY FIGURES.

THE WHITENING EFFECTS OF THE
SINGLE GOLD STANDARD.
A careful examination into the
opera tions of the single gold standard
during the year Of 1894 presents fig
ures that are calculated to startle the
average mind.
There has been a decrease of $780,
1856, 100 in property values in 43 states
and territories. Only II states out of
the 43 show an: increase the decrease
in the 81 remaining states represents
a general falling off while the total
increase of values for the IL states Is
1897 800, 1853. and of this amount, $685.,
893,482, is represented by New York
alone. Thus it will be seen that one
state represents fraction over 60 per
cent Of the entire increase and 10 per
cent Of the remainder comes from
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
The increase in 8 of the IL states is
only $50, 823, O92 while the remaining
g. New York. Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania show on appreciation Of
1906. 978, 66l.
The net decrease of property values
in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Ken
lucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia and West Virginia is $780,
264. $50.
TO recapitulate, 81 states have lost
over five millions of dollars in one
year by the single gold standard while
three states embracing the money
centers, New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, have gained 1906, 97S,66l.
New York, Boston and Philadelphia
have every reason in the world to sing
the praises Of the single gold
standard, but when applied to the
country at large it is fraud of the
first water.-Tom Watsons' Ga,

THE ENCYCLOPEDIAS.

TESTIMONY IN THEIR FAVOR.
A good many of our subscribers have
been afraid to order sets of Cham bers
Encyclopedias, as advertised in our
columns. They could not believe that
thirty volumes, or $4,000 printed
pages, full of the accumulated learn.
ing of the world, could bel had fol-
$3.50. They thought there must be
some fake or trick in it. But the of
fer is real and honest and all that it
pretends to be.
One of the first to subscribe for the
books was the Rev. P. M. McTeague OF
Wykoff, Fillmore county, MINI. He
writes us:
WYKoFF, Mimi, June %. 1895.
DEAR SIR am delighted with the
Encyclopedia. / consider it the
cheapest and best investment I have
ever made in the line of books. At
the comparatively trifling cost of S. 81
for these thirty handy, convenient,
and eminently useful volumes, an
Encyclopedia is no longer to be
looked upon by the poor man las q
luxury. Gratefully Yours,

cry Of stop thiefr' while making on
with the plumber.
The policy inaugurated by John
Sherman years ago, and so valiantly
carried on by President Cleveland
since he has become the petted child
of Wall Street, is essentially the
policy Of ruin for industry. This fact
must be burned into the brain Of the
wealth-producing masses of this coun-
try il they are to escape complete
serfdOm to the capitalistic classes. It
is evidently the conviction of the
Shylocks Of Europe and America that
the wealth-producers have lost the
power to think for themselves, and
that they can again be shared into
the ambush Of plutocracY il the plum
derers OF industry can succeed in d.

much the personification OF guileless-
ness and humility as the gold men are
Of honesty or the representatives Of
honest money.
1t should be clearly understood,
however, that these tactics are by no
means new. The cormorants, other
wise known as the gold men," who
are feeding of the wealth-producers,
are relying for fucceSs on the use OF
money and the employment of the old
"Stop-thief" tactics. The people,
however, have been systema tically
deceived for the last score of years by
the lying promises Of politicians who
were in the employ Of Wall street.
They have assured time and again by
these false stewards of the republic
that if further concessions were made
to the usurer class prosperity would
follow. In every instance, however,
since the days Of the destruction of
the green back and the demonetiza-
ton OF silver, these tools of plutoc-
racy have proved lying prophets.
They have now driven the wealth-pro-
ducers to the brink OF the precipicA OF
servitude; they have almost trans
formed the republic into plutocraoy;
they count on the next great battle
being the GROWING victory in the on
ward march Of plutocracy. Well does

The best money for the people is

Labor is the father of capital, but

along without borrowing.
We never. realize how cheaply we
have sold ourselves until something
comes up to convince us that we are

Neither do we ask the old party sill

Just let us Western and Southern
people get together in one army and

This statement was made while the
officers salaries were under discussion.
Hardly had the words been uttered
when cheer after cheer fairly shook
the walls of the building and re-
echoed IT, the street beyond"
This feeling of distrust in represen-
tative government by leading bust
ness men will have more import when
it is understood that the Wholesale
Grocers' Association is under the
thumb Of the bankers. These bank
ers represent Wall street. the Ameri-
can agency of the Rothschilds.
Rothschids dictate to Wall street,
Wall street to the bankers, and the
bankers to the business mems leagues
and associations. The money circula-
ton of the country is controlled in
most part by these Knights of He'll
who have forced 90 per cent of the ma
tion's business on credit basis, and
the business men must either do their
bidding or 60 the wall. You can see
what they are doing. And if you
don't believe this read on: Since May
1st, Wall street has loaned 100000
or $4,000, 600 to the banks in the
Southern states at the low rate of 4
per cent. The bankers will loan this
money to the merchants at 10 per cent
and the merchants will loan it to the
farmers in the way OF supplies at 90
per cent. Making a grand total Of "a
per cent. every penny Of which is paid
by the farmer.
And this is the only bottom for the
cry of prosperity that is filling the
columns Of the daily press. The thieves
will grow mighty prosperous in the
game, but the poor devils who will
have to get up at 4 o'clock in the
morning to feed these usurerS will be

AS TO HONEST MONEY.
Cheap Money Doesn't Benefit

to bless their use.
The grand object of all business
is to make money. 1t is to ex.
change products and derive ben

for shrewd financial op rations.
There is immense profit to be
made in extracting superior dollars
from all who will pay and in pay

can be made to take them under

1t must not be forgotteo that the

there were several such sorts of
dollars in use. as was also the ma
