and remain the serfs Of the money lords
or shall we restore silver as standard
money. break the shacklea which bind
us and stand forth as free men?

Now, the object of devotion ia mt q
the shape Of the Babylon image or thu
lsraelitish calf, but 1t 10 In the form oi
the British gold basis. The devotees Of
this basis are just as unreasoning and
unreasonable as were the devotees OF
the image and the calf. And will not
God punish this idolatry as he hi.
formerly punished it2 Three thousand
lsraelites fell for their idolatry and King
Nebuchadnezzar for his was was driven
from men and did eat grass like oxen.
And for this idolatry Of gold basis ID
not whole nation suffeyingf Let us
hope that, like the Babylonian king, the
worshippers OF the gold basis will ulti,
mately have their understanding re.
turned unto them, that the evil tb.,,
have inflicted upon the country v,av I.
lifted from an afflicted people, and tba,
silver may be restored as standarf
money and prosperity NAV be restoref
to the land.
