Iagain. If one Of the metals
Ishould give out OF become too ex
pensive to mine, the increased
mining Of the other would keep
Iup the supply. Thus for centur-
lies this automatic prod uctio,1 and
free coinage Of the money metals
has supplied the world with
money. In 1916 England broke
flor the first time in the world S
history The first spoke in this
ever revolving wheel. But one
spoke didn t affect it's motion in
the world It was about twenty.
| years ago when half Of the
spokes were knocked out that
the wheel lost its balance, and
the old automatic money system
received it's death blow.
+ 1t is foreign to this subject to
refer to the widespread disaster
that has followed the destruction
Of, etalism. But all admit
that something is wrong with our
present financial system. sVari-
Gus schemes are proposed to
remedy this. Some want govern
ment paper money only, and ex-
clude the metals entirely. 9th
ers want to keep the present
| wheel with half gifts spolzes out,
and balance it with due bills Of
private banking corporations.
We don't believe in: any Of
these new-fangled patchwork
schemes. We demand the old
system of automatic bimetalism
| that has stood the test of exper-
fence for thousands of years.
We don It claim that it is abso-
lutely perfect, but we, believe it
is the best yet for all practical
purposes. * - . :=.. f
In standing on this basis. we Of
fer nothing new or untried. We
offer simply the money system
laid down in our organic law, the
CONSTITUTION. We ask simply
that all laws passed in con
travention Of the constitution
according to James J. Blaine =
on this subject during the last
quarter of a century be repealed.
! If this is anarchism make the
best of it. Thisis our persona
view on the money question.
We hold that the Peoples Party
should make this their chief is
sue in the coming campaign.
Standing for the restoration OF
our constitutional money system
/. we have at once the conservative,
sober and intelligent masses OF
! the people irrespective Of party
on our side. Let the ancient
true bi-metallism be restored
