try ana you, the WealJh prOdu'
GERS, the people of this country
do not. That is all there is to it.
That is what adopting the gold
standard means.
Now grant that we submit to
their dictation, what guarantee
have we that they will let loose
their money? None whatever.
They have ruined US property
holders now, and they may, and
very likely will, do the same
thing over and over again. BY
submitting to their demand now,
we are binding ourselves hand
and foot in their coils henceforth
and forever.
It is these considerations that
has convinced millions of us that
we must have a money supply
not controlled by Wall street or
private corporations. That the
money famine cannot be relieved
permanently, or at all without
freeing ourselves from the m oney
gamblers of Wall street. How
can it be done? There is only
one answer at present to this
question: Return to the money
system of the constitution, the
free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of IS to |. Gold and
silver coins at the present ratio
are now full legal tender for all
debts public or private. The
only trouble now is that by fraud
and stealth and in violation of
our constitutional rights, the
minting privilege of silver has
been taken away from us. Half
of the money supply to which the
producers ana property owners
of the nation are equitably and
legally entitled has been taken
away from them. Our money
supply has been halved, and
the half that remains has been
cornered. And now the sheriff
is taking the property of 10000
900 families and handing it over
toafew Wall street spectators in
consequence. Now the 10000, 900
producers of this country are
very moderate. Were their tenn
per up they would demand resti-
tuition of what they have been un-
justly deprived during the last
four years. But they are willing
to let the goldbugs have their>ill.
gotten gains, and leave to a just
God the sword of vengence. All
they ask is justice from now on.
They demand their constitutional
right to have 412! grain of silver
coined into a dollar without limi,
tation. They do not ask the gov
eminent to buy the silver, not at
all. Simply to coin it as the con.
stitution provides. We can get
silver for our wheat and our meat
and our cotton, and all we ask is
that the government coins it into
dollars. We can send our boys
to the mines to dig it out, and con.
sumo our produce. Open the
minis to silver and we will get
dollars for our property to keep
the sheriff away. If Wall street
wants to keep it's gold or ship it
out of the country let her do so.
The common people do not ask
for gold. All they want is a dol
lar that will keep the sheriff from
the door, and save the home and
tireside for the family, and gray
hairs and tottering step from the
almshouse, and the silver dollar
will do that far better than gold.
We ask our gold standard
friends to hesitate in their mad
career toforce onto the Ameri-
can people the CALLING yoke of
Wall street. The American PEG,
pie will not wear it. 1t cannot
be possible. Hard times cannot
be cured by slavish submission
to Wall street, the personifica-
ton of Mammon. z.Z=1 CO. zt 4
But give us the money of the
constitution and prosperity and.
and hope will once more dawn on
this nation.
