OF the farmers wheat or Al barrels Of
sweet potatoes at 50 a barrel for money
that did not cost them ST.. That is the
skin game the ''sound money men,
are trying TO make people believe is the
only patriotic "sound money"
The free silver men claim that as the
bonds rest or the credit of the govern.
ment. the greenbacks can rest there as
well as on the bonds, without cost to
the people.
The coinage of silver represents thus
value and real labor the same as gold
and not credit money OIL which interest
has to be paid. The more true real
primary money there is the better it is
for the people. Then less credit money
which requires interest is needed and
what is needed is on a firmer founda.
ton with more real primary money to
redeem it in.
But these up Jerseymen say the coin
age of silver is dishonest" Silver was
made by God with the same qualities al
gold for a purpose and the fact that il
has been used most generally for money
for four thousand years, since the time
OF Abraham, and Prof. Perry in his
political economy, 1868 edition, states
that there have been but two marked
changes in the value of gold and silver
for 1000 years throughout the CONNER
cial world previous to 1868, it has re
manned for a few later day money
changes to declare that a God.madt
money metal is dishonest and not fit fol
money, and they are d~eceiving the peo
pie by not having given silver an equa
power Of law as gold
After having the audacity to declare
this they declare the greenbacks are {
perpetual threat" to a gold standard
The nation carried on the var will
them and nobody thought they were
threat until the bankers began raidinl
the treasury with them and with theil
accomplices at the head of the nation
they have bonded the nation for S262,
000, 900 every dollar of the interest OIL
which for 30 years will he ShyIocl

the man in whose hand is the revolver
the man behind it. 1t is not the green
backs that are threatening our nation
al existence, and the prosperity of th
people but the bankers. Is it not
pretty state of affairs when this grea
nation can not exist except for a fe,
bankers to feast and fatten on? VIVA
are the banks but the creatures of tn
Government AS they have become 8
egotistical as to think they " and ar
the government, is it not time to tax
the sledge hammer of free silver an
knock the legal foundation from unde

Ye Godsl Just think of it, God-mad
silver is dishonest money while ma

In directing u readers minds t
this g%rievous wrong we wish il distinct
ly understood we have no personal en-
nifty to banks nor bankers. They ar
agencies of usefulness in modern busI
ness and should be encouraged so Ion
as they are conducting their bushes
honestly and do not strive TO rule an
ruin the people. We have an indirec
interest in thousands of dollars of BAN
stock but ten times rs much in lande,
interest, and a deeper interest in GU
posterity.
We also repeat what we publishe'
from Mr.. Sibley's speech last week
"That the little fellow worth fron
SOC 5000 up to a million or so is no
meant when we refer to the money pow
or. If he feels himself included, h
