science of the citizen and made him
the willing pupil OF nobler and better
lessons in finance. In the tidal wave
that is now gathering strength all over
the land for the free coinage OF silver
see the avant-courier OF better days
to come. To place wholesale financial
literature In the hands Of the Eastern
voter becomes duty that oversnau-
ows every other obligation or a pupnc
character that we owe to our fellow
men,"

The masses of the people in the East
are as much interested in the revival OF
prosperity as are the citizens OF the
West. To secure their intelligent CO.
operation II is only necessary TO edu-
cate them as to the cause OF the hard
times, and they will seek with avidity
the only cure within the reach OF man
kind and help eliminate from the imam
cial system of our government the as
astrous policy of monometallism.

pressed and we are looking for some
means of a revival of our interests.
This, we believe, can only be obtained
through the reconciliation of the

hoard the gold i'm their Golfers, many OF
them to-day tell me that they can make
more money by boarding the gold in
the bank vaults than they can by put

continual appreciation of gold and the
consequent depreciation of everything
else. / know from a little experience
that L had last week that this is true

international bimetallist. which is the
same thing. / went TO the same mar
few weeks ago and asked the price
again, and he said: Two weeks age

told me that they were then worth

so everywhere; that depression take
