SOME POOR DEBTORS.
Great Corporations Which Free silver
Would Enable to Cheat Their Creditors

Would Enable to Cheat Their Creditors
The free silver agitators claim to be
working IN the interest of the debtors
or the country, whom thcy represent as
being large number of poor persons.
The creditor class Is denounced as a
small number of greedy bankers and
monopolists, banded together for the
purpose of depressing the masses Of the
people. Reputation of debts is openly
advocated by the silverite and popu-
list press on the ground that the men
who borrow money are moro numerous
than the men who lend. The belief
that in some way free coinage will
benefit poor debtors by injuring rich
creditors is at the bottom of nine
tenths Of all the demands for cheap
money.
The falsity of assertions that a
scheme to pay debts in so cent dollars
would help the poor and hurt only the
rich can be easily seen by looking at
few Of the prominent debtors of the
country. Among the great corpora
tons which would be able to pay off
their bonded indebtedness in dollars
worth so cents are the following:
