thous and years Of use to be dishonest,
is demonetized, The paper money in
circulation, il, mot sufficient for the
populaE needs land is SO much used,
overused,ya Jas tN have become too filthy |
and ragged for decent handling. Verify
the yoke Of the gold policy is CALLING
one. 1t ought not to be endured and !
won't be.
q, The people of the country happen to
be free people. They happen to be a
people of unbounded political courage
they happen to be the American people
abundantly able of self government
And they mean to abolish the money
system which is proving to be crush
ing burden and curse to the land. They
will do this by their own free and indie
pendent action. In Europe, where
there are no people, where there is no
popular thought, no freedom, no freemen
no power of popular action, and where
manhood is in ruthless chains, they
can not discard this shirt of Nessus.
And yet here are men in the United
States so unworthy of their country as
to insist that we shall not get rid of the
monstrous tyranny which Expresses us,
until Europe agrees that we shall.

country which you founded, and the
countrymen who tamely submit to a
yoke more calling than Georges The

syndicated money capital, the "dynas-
ty of modern times" has no soul for
conscience nor breast for remorse.
The king of the London gold trust
has taken the place of King George,
and our country is infested with a vast
brood of tories and loyalists, yielding
him an abiect homage.
The New York state bankers resolved
in convention the other day that there
were sixty millions of gold money in
circulation in the United States. The
declaration is palpably false. There is
no such amount Gin circulation" un-
less this new method of gold mining

metallic money, counting both gold and
silver, in our peoples pooh Gets. But
assume that the resolution speaks tru-
| ly; then for our seventy millions of
population we have s. cents OF metallic
money to the head. France has forty
five dollars, England ninety dollars to
the head. Yet the New York state
bankers make their boastful statement
with an air of reproachful triumph.
This is the case of men who preach
panic as the result of silver remonetiza-
tion. These are the lions who do the
betting at the London and New York
stock boards, and give orders to the
press and the host of their proteges in
the cities and small towns of our coun.
try as to what these latter shall say and
do on the money subject. 1t is humilia.
