- SOUND MONTY

No cry during this campaign has been
more misleading than the cry Of sound
money as it has had the changes rung
upon it by the gold standard men. Mr.
Bryan asked before the business men in
Chicago why It was the republicans had
not dared use god rather than sound
money as the keynote of thci.. campaign.
Has anybody heard republican orators
or ala society orators. or organs declaim-
ing about "Goli?' Have they not inyaria-
bly, abandoned gold and substituted tine
other term sound money" Are they not
ashamed to champion openly the a00-cent
dishonest dollar and are they not seeking

Sound money is not money that is con-
s,antly approaching. Money that Is cor

The coined silver in the United States
today is as sound" az any money. silver
is ore OF the money metals OF the word
ana until its money value or function, SO
TO speak. was stricken down by law in
Europe and America. the silver bullion
was as valuable as the gold bullion. 1t
only needs restoration to Its former posi-
ton TO be again as valuable The democ-
racy is the only party OF sound money
for 1t is the only party not seeking 10

over the other. The mistake the gold adj
vocates make and the fraud they practice.
Is in assuming that bullion silver Will re-

power is restored to tia palpahly absurd
