NY friends the today idle hold

country when this is under
seod when men find out about the money question: you
that if there in your community whose interests whose

about 1lonest money and sound dollar" But if his sym

There is no such issue as Mr. Bryan indicates, and
if there were law could be enacted to force
money out of the hands of idle holders provided
had such class of people, will the Senate pass
coinage bill authorizing free silver. Therefore, Mr..
organs talk of the god and silver coinage of the Con-
stitution, to the praseoogy of the Chicago plat
FORM free and unlimited nonsense, without the aid
assistance of reason, fact past experience The
entire silver movement is huge political bunco
spiracy to perpetuate solid Democratic South, and
temporarily force the price of bullion silver in the
interests of the Western mining States
Every well-nformed citizen understands that the
rules of the Senate enable active energetic minority
defeat the passage of any may oppose and
that these rules cannot be changed But Mr. Bryan
succeed in convincing majority of American voters
that there any consderab number of idle holders Of
idle money outside of his imagination he will eventual
lily land in the White House. 1t might we'll be under
Stood however, that because of the opposition in the
Senate there will be free coinage measure, notwith-
standing IT. IT
appear possible.
Every public atterance in favor of free silver, and
each meeting held to advocate that mistaken policy adds
the severity Of the business depression and assists in
deferrng resumption of prosperity Nine tenths of
the people moneyholders of greater less de-
gree, and it insult that they idle lazy

kind while there is such dark financial outlook Our
banks bursting with the money of depostors, who
would gladly welcome opportunity to it in a way
bring profitable returns but like all holders of prop
perty they afraid of loss, and will neither loan
venture financial under aking until assured that there
will be panic 1t is this general lack of confidence
in our future financial stability that locks up money
and its circulation and the volume of business
will continue to decrease until holders OF every
kind, working people, farmers, merchants and specu
ators certain that free silver victory will not
1debase monetary system.
What is the true function of money! Money should
be made stimulate and establish profitable trade
lations rather than be used instrument of their
destruction 1t should become active agent in facili-
tatng exchanges, instead of being employed argu
ment fost political demagogues into power. 1t is in
reality the great public pulse that nvgorates and pre-
congestion the arteries of trade and should be
regulate commercial life instead of becoming the
playing of partisans Money the standard by which
integrity of nations the honesty of and
the worth Of commodities and its value neither be
diminished at the demand of parties made the
of furtherng the schemes of any particular section of
the country without sacrificing its true function Money
is the omnipotent thing depend on to assist in
the development of unsurpassed resources and to
build up national power and commercial prosperity, and
as much lessen it's volume inure its influence
and power that much and to that extent will de-
stroy our welfare. Without sound money based on
financial principles and founded in the confidence
of general public this country great and powerful
it u.s. truly prosper This truth every patriotic
citizen should make the keystone of his hope in
future as nation 1t would be easy to prosper with
out faith without sound money, and Mr.. Bryan and
