this has anything to do with it while
we have so many that are naked and
hungry, and with a millionaire syn
dicate controlling our money, an
other controlling every means of
transportation, others controlling
every important public enterprise
with power to force prices up or
down at will. In what has there been
an overproductioni Not in cotton
or wool when so many are in rags.
Not in wheat, when so many are only
able to eat one meal a day, and 9th
ers begging. Not in fuel when there
are every year thousands of people
frozen to death because they had no
money to buy it with. Not in oil
when millions of our people are ev-
cry night roaming in darkness in
want of it. Not in money, most as
surdely, when so many are penniless.
No, there is no over production in
anything, excepting millionaires, and
to-day twenty thousand people con-
troll one-half the money of the
United States, while over seventy
million are graphing for the other
half. Further, the real demand for
any article is fixed, permanent, i'm
perative and constant and any great
Auctuation is fanciful or caused by
trusts and money kings by their
gamblings on the products of the peo-
pie. 1t takes just SO much to supply
the people and no more and it is only
changed by the increase of popula-
ton, and that should raise prices
rather than lower them, as is the case
now. Again. in 1891 wheat sold for
So cents per bushel and 1895 for so
cents. Yet in 1891 the supply was
according to government statistics
nearly 200, 900, 900 bushels more than
in 1895. Now why was wheat not
cheaper when the supply was great
est. Simply for this reason and no
other. At that time the government
was under the silver purchasing act,
and silver was to some extent being
utilized for public good. Money was
much easier then and prices were
better, but that law, the last ray of
the silver sun has been repealed. Ev-
erything is in the hands of the money
power. How long will the American
people stand such imposition? How
long will they stand idly by and see
their homes sold from them to build
up a monied aristocracy as they did
in Great Britain.
England in 1916 adopted the single
gold standard and at that time most
of the people owned their own
homes, and to-day who owns the
homes of that country? A monied
nobility of less than one thousand
families own the whole of England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales, while
many millions only exist as mere
tenants.
In England to-day you can see
mothers working at an iron forge,
hammering out nails from daylight
until nine o'clock at night, for the
mere pittance of $1.27 per week. So
it will be here if Rothchilds and Wall
street are allowed to run our govern
ment much longer. Think of wild
owed mother with three or four de-
pendent little ones, working at the
forge for an existance, and very
poor one at that, sleeping in the
corner of an attic, on a bunch OF
straw, with her children nestled
about her as her only comfort. Yet
that is the existence of millions ol
Englands people.
That is the fruit of q single gold
standard and it is only question oi
time when we will be the same if we
humbly bow to the wishes of those
who through their candidate for pub
lie office wish to continue the same
outrage on us.
The British House of Parliament
at this very time debating bill look
ing to the betterment of distressed
tenants in Ireland. The land owners
have gone too far in their abuses O.
the people; yet what can they dt
should parliament refuse to pass the
bill, and it is likely to fail says cable
gains to this country from London.
| Now, American, voter do you wan
yourself and family to be reduced t.
that level? No, most assurdely not
Nearly every thing is under mort
gage now, from the sewing girls
machine to our farms, stores ant
railroads.
