WE ASK THEM HARD.

We love the gold standard brethren
well enough to wish they were fully
advised as to the effect Of the policy
they advocate. At times they appear
to us to be ignorant Of their own evil
intentions. We would arouse them 70
the enormous iniquity OF their pro-
position. How can we do ltY
They deny that gold isappreciating.
Yet Robert Giffen, the most eminent
London gold standard authority, said
In 1879 it would appreciate, and In
1888 declared'the decline in prices was
due TO the fact that II had increased
in purchasing power. Like the
astronomer, Tyco BrahC, who denied
the Copernican system now approved
by all scientists, the gold standard
men deny that gold has appreciated
because they don't want to under
stand anything else.
We ask them hard what we haye to
lose by the double standard money
system as long as all foreign commerce
balances are settled in bullion valuesY
Free coinage OF silver cannot make
silver bullion bring any less than IL
does now, and no country will pay us
any more than the world market for
anything we have a surplus Of II we
go to the gold standard we throw our
weight on the side Of still lower
prices.
We ask the gold idolators hard, are
we as debtor nation interested In
putting further premium Increased |
purchasing power on gold9 The
English monetary commission OF 1888
was six TO six for international agree
ment. Some would not hear OF bl-
metallism at all. But all said; "We
Englishmen are best off with the gold
standardw Courtney, one Of the six
against silver in 1888 Is now converted
TO silver. Mr.. Lldderdale, governor Of
the bank of England during the
Barring failure, has been converted
from the gold standard. The In
creased value OF gold is worse than In
creased taxes, because with deprecl-
ated values OF all property and the
scarcity OF money, IL becomes inn
possible 20 pay taxes Their public
credit is weakened, government paper
goes down, revolution steps ln,and the
last gold piece goes into everlasting
retirement.
We ask you hard what interest have
you goldbugs in an apprecIating gold
dollar, and deprecated products ana |

Are you not cutting your own
throat while you are ripping the
values out of everything else?
We ask you hard, can deprecated
products and property pay you big

Its true enough, Mr.. Irish,' she
says, getting up and going to the win

she said. Tell me what to do, and I'll

A flush came in Locke's pale face.

Irish went to the door and, calling
to his WIFE said
Polly, this gentleman and me is go

Then. closing the dotr again, he
motioned Locke back to his seat.
Two hours afterward John Locke,
with curious quaver in his voice, said,
as he rose to co.
"As God is my judge, William Irish,
1 will not fail you"
The old seaman held out his hand
to the ex-captain Of the Resolution.

want to try and meet your Maker with
a clean sheet, you have got to ind out
what has become of those people you
turned a drift on that island. AS for

Locke bent his head, and then turn
