thirteen states, just as many as we
started the union with
After the withdrawal or the delcGa-
ton Mr.. Plat admitted that The issue
for which New York was now fighting
was gold instead OF Morton. The dele
CATION would show It's loyalty To Its

TOILERS OF THE WORLD.
Tables Showing How Money Varies IN
Value.

The following appeared in the
indianapolis Sentinel;
The creditor is powerful factor
in the modern world. 1his Is
readily seen from the mere state
ment that the property valuation OF
this country is about $4,000, ,oOO,-
600 and the long standing debts
are about $50, 900, ,0O0,0 900.
Who i the creditor? No one can
dispute that the creditor is chiefly
England. The great money power
that centers in Lombard street,
London, and has its outposts IN
Wall street, and in every great city,
levies a world-w de tribute, but no
land does il drain more completely /,
perhaps, than it does the United
States of America.
Who is the debtor? The debtor
is the great body of toilers and en-
terprising merchants and manu-
facturers that make up the Amerl-
can nation. Every individual III
this country is a debtor OF the
worlds king creditors. The inter
est on railroad and corporation
bonds is as surely paid by the con
sumner and producer as is the inter
est on the national debt.
This is a campaign tor justice
