96.-Will some Democrat or Repub-
lican give a sensible reason why the
Congress of the United States should
issue ten kinds Of money which were
in circulation in July, lS95. to-wit:
Gold coin, silver dollars, subsidiary
silver coin, minor coin, gold certifi-
Gates, silver certificates, United
States notes, currency certificates,
Treasury notes of 1890. national
bank notes. Was this done TO ac-
commodate legalized thieves who |
deal in money, or for what good rea-
son WAS ii donei Three kinds of |
money is all that ought to be issued
as primary money, tO-wit: gold coin.
silver dollars, United States notes,
and the money issued by the general
government should be legal tender
in payment of all debts, public aud
private to the amount specified by
law, and attach heavy penalties for
any one to receive it or pay il out
for less than its face value.
The subsidiary money from 80
cents to 10 cents to be legal ten
der in any one payment to the
amount of $1,000; and the minor
coin, from 5 cents to l cent, to be a
legal tender in any one payment to
the amount of $1,000.
The law makes and unmakes
money. The Constitution of the
United States of America gives Con-
gress the power and denies il to the
States, and that power ought not to
be referred to corporations or banks.
Since the contraction of the currency
in 1866 and the demonetization of
silver in 1873, tens of thousands of
our best and truest men have been
swept into the vortex of financial
ruin.
There is no need of q redeemable
note of the United States. Use il
| until unfit for use, return it to be
destroyed and a new note to be is
sued in it's place like recoining sill
yer or gold when worn until it was
unfit for use. We ask for a currency
for our nation unchanged in value,
and per capita to be controlled by
Congress-; and not ton kinds of
money and eight of these unredeem-
able.
There are FIVE Mints in the United
States, four Assay Offices, nine Sub
Treasures. All the officers receive
large salaries. The Sub-Treasury
was established in 1915, under j. K.
Polk's administration. Up to that
time banks used our money.
"Old Hickory" vetoed the United
States bank in 1882. He knocked
the United States bank a-kiting.
He sent that tlgress to the jungles.
The two old parties have brought
her back with 5000 whelps.
| Two new mints were established
under "Old Hickory's" administra-
tion and set actively to work to coin
money. To MINT MONEY. The shin
ing metal, silver dollars, half dol
, lars, and quarter dollars together
with gold coin came out among the
people; prices rose; the people were
happy; the country rejoiced, and
Andrew jackson retired to private
life one among the most popular
; Presidents we ever had.
The silver dollars, halves and quar-
ters were called by the rank and fils

We demand that the FIVE mints o
