GOVERNMENT MONEY OUR
SAVIOR.

Let US use government money and
let us be happy. Let the government
make all money, and let all money be
made of paper, aud let it be a full legal
tender for all debts, none excepted.
Let the government loan all money
direct to the people at one per cent.
Let the government be the only power
that can or dare take interest for
money. Let it be unlawful for any
man or set of men to contract to pay
any debt in anything except the gov
eminent money. Let the government
establish a bank of loan and deposit in
every county in the United States. Let
us abolish the use of gold and silver
money by taking the fat of the law off
it, thus depriving it Of the artificial
value. Then let Shylock have all of it,
and let him keep it. Then let him give
a pound of gold for a loaf of bread; he
will be glad to do 50 when the artifi ;ial
value has been taken from it. Then
let us hear what the old fool has to say.
Then the gold and silver will be his god
no more. Let US make this world the
best world VIC know anything about.
Let US not be such fools as we have been
for the last thirty years. Let us vote
the Peoples party ticket once, then let
US declare in favor Of reputation. Let
us make one jump and jump right into
heaven here on earth. We can do it.
Let US try. In order that this may be
accomplished the world should abolish
the use of gold and silver money. Gold
and silver money has been the cause
of all wickedness and all cussedness,
all hardships, all misery and crime, in
fact it has been the creator of nine
tenths of all evil that the human fam
lily has been subjected to since the filthy
stuff made it's appearance in the shape
of money. It has made ~hypocrites by
the millions, in and out of the church;
your best friend will deceive you just
a very little for the sake of it; the man
or woman that wouldn't us9 a little de
or lie a little for the sake of it, /
would be what we might call a tip top !
Christian, too good to live in this world,
and too good to take time to die, and
to be translated, and in fact
be an improvement on the
morals of the other world, certainly
there could not be a better Christian.
Let the government give employment,
e.-l al0ELn nn1 nooHn 0Nn0SN~knh 1o oil 1
who are willing to work. Let the man
who won't work go hungry, naked and
.nouselese, as he ought to. Lat US all
be equal. Let the government give
the right to the ballot or let it
Iuit boasting of a free government.
Let the whole people claim and take
possession of everything on it and
everything in 1T Let the government
oay a bounty to the inventor of any
new invention that may be a benefit
the human family, and let the whole
opoDIe have the benefit of such inven-
Then let it run all things in the
interest of the whole people. Let it
give everybody employment. Let it
'lrnish tools to work with, and let it
give everybody a comfortable home to
i've in. Let it take care of those who
ire not able to take care of themselves. |,
Let it educate all the living, and let it -,
Jury all the dead, the rich and the
alike, they should be equal here
Is in the grave. There should be no
,oOr; there is no need of either if Gods :,
avs are obeyed; so come, l say, all
7ou poor and needy, and all you that
abor and are heavy loaded with inter !
at bearing debts, come to the waters of
