SOUND" DEFINITIONS.
Appeal to Reason.

Appeal to Reason.
Say, mister! can you tell me what the
bankers mean when they talk about
Sound money!"
Yes. They mean gold money.
What do they want gold money for?
Because it is very scarce money.
Why do they want scarce" money?
Because it is dear money.
Why do they want dear" money?
Because dear money will purchase
more of your labor, and more of the pro-
ducts of your labor.
Will "dear" money pay any more debt
than any other kind of money?
No. Debts are payable in dollars and
the dollars Wilt made from gold
make you work two days, where one
days work ought to pay the debt.
Then if owe 500 and the bankers
hold my obligations and can make me
pay the debt in gold dollars-1ear and
scarce mOney-that | am compelled to
give up 5000 worth of my labor to pay
the debt; is that so?
Yes. that is exactly the fact. And that
is just what sound money" means to
every laborer and to every person in
debt
Well. let me think. The Republican
party wants Sound money" aud the
Democratic party wants sound money"
1t must be the bankers run both parties.
That's it exactly. You hit the nail on
the head sQuarely.
Well, if it is for the interest of the
bankers to have sound money'-mean-
in gold or scarce money-then ii is my
interest to have plenty of money, so |
can get some of it for my labor, and be
able to pay my debts, amt it?
Yes. All money, whether of gold silver
+, or paper is created through fiat Of law,
and the law is created by the votes of the
people. However, if you deposit your
| ballot in the box controlled by the bank
ers they will count it for sound money
scarce money. dear money, and your deg
radiation and slavery.
Then know enough to vote against the
| bankers they VIII count it for niij'M he
bankers and deposit my ballot in the peo-
pies box, where i will be counted in the
interest of Hannah and the babies.

In response to a call from Amos
Steckel of Bloom field, Iowa's national
committeeman for the new silver par
ty, about so prominent men from all
parts of the state met in this city
Wednesday, Of last week and discussed
the political situation.
They were nearly all Democrats and
Republcans,and all Of the firm deter
minatiOn to no longer remain in their
old parties unless they come out
souarely for silver, Is to Land nomin
ate a national ticket in accordance.
But so sure are they that no such
action will be taken by said parties
that they took the preliminary steps
looking to the organization OF the
new silver party in the state and will
be in thorough readiness to take part
in the St. Louis convention.
A committee Of three for each con-
gressonal district was appointed and
a state convention called for July IA,
to select delegates to the St. Louis,
convention and for better organiza-
ton.
Several old-party editors, prominent
among whom we're S. b. Evans. of the
Ottumwa Sun and S. Il. Murphy, of
the Dubuque Daily Telegraph, were
present and more than one Republi-
can county chairman attended.
There is no doubt but that the ice
is now broken. the old parties in
Iowa, as elsewhere are going to pieces
and the reform element will get on
top this year.
