GOIdbug Rot.


Mr.. Joshua lowering, the nominee of
the gold part of the Prohibition party, in
going through the empty formality of
accepting the nomination said
"There is the question of stable, and
at the same time an elastic, currency,
equal to the demands of business for every
section of the country, and yet every dol
lar of which should be of equal value
and the whole based on a standard equal
to the best i'll the world. The United
States cannot afford without dishonor to
have money bearing its stamp inferior to
that of any country on the globe"
This is goldbug piatitude invented to
mislead and deceive the ignorant, and no
one, not ignorant of the subject he at
tempts to discuss or intending to deceive,
will make use of such absurd expressions
as basing money on STANDARD equal TO
the best in the world" What do we care
Tor the kind of money any other country
uses? We haven't thing to do with
their money, nor have they with onrs.
They can make leather money for all the
concern it is to us. Russia uses paper
rubles, Argentina's paper is two or three
hundred per cent discount below our
money, so is Mexico's money and that of
other nations at discount of our money.
1t doesn't injure lis any. Neither does our
money concern any other people. We
want no other nations money and no
other nation wants our money. They
couldn't use it if they had it.
The traders of foreign nations purchase
gold and silver at market price as they
purchase wheat and corn, beef and cotton
or any other article of merchandise. They
never purchase money. 1t is the pro-
ducts of country that constitute the
wealth of a nation, and this wealth is the
basis that the credit of nation rests on,
but its money is an entirely different
thing. 1t is made by the country for the
use Of its people to transfer the value of
the products of their industry from one
person to another.
When Mr.. lowering says, "The United
States cannot afford, without dishonor, to
have money. bearing its stamp inferior to
any country OIL the globe" he is talking
nonsense, and through pure ignorance,
for he is presumed to be an honest man;
but when Mckinley, Reed, Sherman and
that class descend to such platitudes they
do SO to deceive ignorant people. They
know better. No people of other nations
care snap for other nations money. 1t
is the products of their industry, their
merchandise, they are after The ship
pers sell goods in foreign country for
the money of that country, and purchase
goods to take back with the money ofth
nation, and sell the merchandise at home
for their own country inoney.
With these simple truths kept in view
what intolerable rot the talk of "souud
money" money as good as the best on
the globe, and all such, appears

correspondent

A correspondent asks the
Farmers Tribune-"How much
was there in the treasury when
Benjamin Harrison was elected?
CHOW much money was there i'll
the treasury when Cleveland was
elected his last term?"
The editor makes the following
reply.
"Harrison's administration
opened with 1895, 1913 in the
treasury, exclusive of the $780,
100000 gold reserve, and when it
turned the thing back to Cleveland
the net surplus according to the
balance struck was $24, 12S,0S7,
but this included $54,207, 075
national bank notes redemption
fund which, under previous admin
istrations, did not figure in the
assets, thus showing that the
Harrison administration had used
S,O76, O64 more than it had col
lected, maturing loans to the
amount of $50, 100000 had been
extended for want of funds, and
Secretary Foster had showed off the
payment for public works and
other obligations to an amount suf-
ficient to increase the deficit to
500, 100000 had these all been
paid.
'In February Mr.. Foster made a
plea before a committee of the
house and asked to have provision
made for additional revenue, stat
ing that the revenue law then in
existence (the Mckinley law
would not provide sufficient funds
to run the government by $50, 000,-
900 year.
s'This it will be remembered was
before the democrats had come into
power, before the Wilson bill was
framed and before the gOldbugs
had concluded that the Sherman
law was running us by putting ST.
1000 in circulation each month.
"And yet they tell us every thing
was all right under Harrison's adj
ministration.
These liars, the daily goldbug
papers, appear to think the people
have forgotten all these things and
are going on with their same old
humbug, about the cause of hard
times being the repeal of the Nc
Kinley tariff.

Our Gold Basis (P)

Our people are flattered by the
theory that we are on a gold basis.
How completely they are deceived.
They have not the good fortune to
be on any real money basis. They
have an ideal only. Our people
independent of their creditors have
no gold in their control. What
they occasionally have is by per-
mission of their creditors and not
otherwise. The United States
government buys gold with bonds
and creditors take it away. The
United States buys more gold with
bonds and creditors again take it
away, and so on and so on. Is this
a gold basis 2 Has it the stability
of a bases A base is something
that supports. Our so called base
is a power to tear down and destroy.

Mark Antony Hanna.
Very truly,
L. MOVES.

This famous modern politician
and Mckinley handler is connected
with the Hanna family who are and
have been for several generations,
residents and natives of Lancaster
and Cecil counties. About forty
years ago Mark A. Hanna was a
resident or sojourner whether for
long or short period we are unable
to say, among the Hannas, some Of
the older members being very well
acquainted with him. The whole
"breed, seed and generation" of
the Hannas were famous democrats.
Mark became a millionaire and
joined the church of the golden calf.

AS mercury will surely destroy the

On to the Field of Waterloo.

The Peoples Tribune published
at Vassar, Michigan in its issue of
July 31st gives notice of its suspen-
sion and in lamentation valedic-
tory mourns the collapse of the
Peoples party, because the party
did not keep in the apochryphal
"middle- of the road" whether the
enemy was to be found there or
not. Such papers are unable to
discriminate between fusion and
cooperation an alliance offensive
and defensive. They place party
above principles and conditions
and are ever ready to sacrifice the
substance to the shadow. They are
of the religico sectarian school of
thought which breeds selfish,
narrow minded bigotry. 1t is well
the Tribune and all of its class take
themselves off. 1t has done good
work and served its purpose. 1t
would stop, organize and drill for
party autonomy ip place of for
victory. 1t would halt the whole
force and attack Marshall Grouchy
in place of pushing on to the field
of Waterloo where the real battle
is to be won.
The Peoples party platform must
be maintained. With that intact
the party cannot be lost. The
democrat party organization of
thirty years is destroyed. 1t can
never be again organized on the
old non principle opposition, Office
hunting lines of the past. It's in
fantry has mutinied and come to
the Populist camp. Bryan is the
champion of Populist principles.
The political party of the future
will crystalize round him. He
will proclaim Populist principles
from the White House. The
nation willexperience anew baptism,
a baptism of Populist principles.
The Republican party will be put
on the defensive, it is on the de.
fensive now and trying to guard its
flanks. The defeat of Mckinley
and triumph of silver will open the
way to greater victories to terminate
in the battle of Armageddon and
overthrow of the aristocratic, plu-
tocratic, monopolistic, Jew English
system of government that under
the guise of republican party has
afflicted the American people as
they never suffered before.

The Renegade.

There is none so bitter and re
lentlessly cruel as the renegade.
This old truth is just now verified
by the frothing and foaming and
crashing of teeth by the renegade
democrat party papers. Their
editorials are one continued insane
can't void of sense. Among the lot
there is none that quite equals the
Philadelphia Times in this respect.
The people understand it all. They
know that Mcclure is obeying his
masters as the slave obeys while
the master, whip in hand stands
over him.

Never before in the history of
the United States have the daily
papers exerted so little influence on
public thought. People have be-
come thoroughly disguised with
their sophistries and unreliableness.
1t was apparently a grand scheme
in the gold trust to get control of
the telegraph and daily press and
for a long time it worked well, but
they over did it and the people now
suspect every thing pertaining to
public affairs stated in these lying
journals.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1896-08-07

The goldbug press has lied so
long and loud that free coinage
would ruin the country generally,
without pointing out any definite
reason for their assumed belief,
that the public has ceased to be
lieve them. They have now altered
their tactics somewhat and are at
tempting to scare building and
loan association members and
savings bank depositors.
They will find this scare-crow
equally unsuccessful. What ever
tends to the general prosperity of
the country rebounds to the advant-
age of depositors in Savings Banks
and Building and Loan Associa-
lions. General prosperity is shared
in by every honest enterprise.

The Jordan story about the
murder of Mrs. Richards, suddenly
sprung upon the public last week
is not credited by any person who
knows Jordan. The story created
a brief sensation but the author is
so thoroughly irreliable that the
interest in it was very brief. Many
circumstances are strongly against
the story.
