knowing good places in the forest and
on the plains. When elephants, zebras,
leopards, and even lions. decided upon
having some ;ollification, they called

suitable place tor the entertainments;
he also was supposed to be an expert at

Harrison's "Dirty Dollars"

EX-President Harrison, addressin
in his speech the better element
which wants to have money scarce ant
dear, talks contemptuously of NOR
money as dirty dollars" 1t is not 81
long ago that the same speaker callei
poor men and poorly dressed men
cheap men," He then had no direc
purpose to serve in deceiving wag,
earners, and could afford to sneer n
them. But now his mission is to de
lude and cajole them, and to misleat
them, if possible, upon the question o.
additional coinage. He wants to max:
his "cheap man" distrust the dirt,
dollar" He has no condemnation fo
the crooked policy which has made tn,
dollars so dear and scarce, and so hard
for the laboring man to get at. But tn,
people comprehend this hypocriticai
and misplaced sympathy. AS Mr.. Bry
an aptly remarked in his speech to tn,
railroad employees at Tonawanda, ''The
great common people do not need any
particular class to tell them what the;
shall do"

Statistics show that this country now

National Bank Currency,

The position taken by the platform
against the issue of paper money by ma
tional banks is supported by the highest
Democratic authority as well as demand
ed by the interests of the people The
present attempt of the national banks to
force the retirement of United States
notes and treasury notes in order to Sc
cure basis for larger issue of their own
notes illustrates the danger which arises
from permitting them to issue their paper
as circulating medium. The national
bank note, being redeemable in lawful
money, has never been better than the
United States note which stands behind
it, and yet the banks persistently demand
that these United States notes, which
draw no interest, shall give place to inter
est-bearing bonds in order that the banks
may collect the interest which the people
now save.
To empower national banks to issue
circulating notes is to grant valuable
privilege to favored class, surrender to
private corporations the control over the
volume of paper money and build up a
class which will claim n vested interest
in the nations financial policy. Our Uni
ted States notes, commonly known as
greenbacks, being redeemable in either
gold or silver, at the option of the Gov
ernment, and not at the option of the
holder. are safer and cheaper for the
people their national bank notes based up
on intereSt-bearing bonds.
