on the tense these days. Most of us
Demokrats, and the Republercans two,
ar on the tense bout the silver quest
shun. Tha don't know whethur to speke
out in meetin' for Their gold standard or
fur fire silver. They kind of stradle. Tha
ar half afrade an the other half dassent.
But why shude tina favor free silver?
Didn't the Republercans demorerlize sill
yer in '73 and Their Democrats finish
Their jobb in SO? Haint a majorety Of
both partys allus voted agin silver in
Kongres? Tha favured silver in there
platforms, but in Office tina allus had a
change uf hart. Maybe tina think party
platforms ar like ther platform on a
strete car-to be used only to get in on.
1t don't look wright ter me but am two
goode Demokrat to kick on what my
party duz.

Old Skindepe, our muney-lender, SEE

country. Wher il ther gold driv to now ?
He IL Their only man in town tibet haz
sene a gold pece in ten yeres. Hiz hired
man, Pap Parrut, Is agin fre silver two.
He seq it wude ruin Their credit Ut Their
government. He Is more CAREFUL bout
Their governments credit then about hiz
own, for he can't git trusted fur bar uf
soap at any store heer. He kroks bout
Their nede of gold to pay crediturs and to
"manetain our natshunal honur." Why,
Pap wude rather Kill hisself than pay a
creditur, An honur! He don't kno any
more bout honur then a blind dog duz
bout Shakspeer's plays.
And there's DR.. Bigfees. He can't rest
fur feer Their "cuntry will be fluded with
chepe muney." And he goes'round with

And Their hull gold crowd get together

yer we allus have goode times This
gold STANDARD we hav gut now may be a
fine thing, but I'm tired of selling stamps
OF credit. An if Their Demokrats don't
cum out strong fur fire silver, I amt goin

tin desperate, I am. Whut's Their goode
of havin' a postofice when I've gut to do
biznes on credit? SAM STICKER,
who is tired Of bein' on Their fense.)
