Can you do business better on more
money or less money?
Stop and think
Mr. Bryan advocates the immediate is
sue of gold, silver and government paper
money, as the needs of the people demand
IL.
Mr.. Mckinley insists that we must use
god alone, unless some foreign nations
will permit Us TO use silver.
II is not hard TO understand which finan
cial policy will bring prosperity TO this
grand and growing country, the people of
which are now suffering unjustly through
the infamy of the almost exclusive gold
standard.
Ii must be admitted that we have given
gold more than fair trial. For twenty
three years the people have suffered in 81
lence, for we are patient people and law
abiding race, but the time has come when
patience has ceased TO be q virtue. and
when the pangs OF hunger and business
distress remind our people that they must
act, and act promptly and heroically for
their own protection.-Erchdn0e.

How Te Find Silver Men.

A gold contemporary laments that the
republican managers do not know where
TO find the enemy, they are so scarce. We
might suggest that If they would keep
track Of one William Jennings Bryan they
might be able to put their hands on from
twenty thousand 10 sixty thousand silver

was nothing else for honest Democrats TO

Of their party. II Is unfortunate that 9TH
