owe want a little sense. There was
time when the government issued green
backs and the people called them mon

We had magnificent times, Dut When
the time came for paying the peopie
said, DO not let us pay, let Us ISSUE
more sreenbacks; we had good pimes
then; let US keep it up But whenever
you issue your promise TO pay, the cay
of payment comss, and when that coaiies
hard times come along with IT,

IAN these things have to be paid and
they have to be paid in money, and now
are you going ITO get your money !:
Primarily you have got to dig II out Oh
the al'th Then how are you gong 10
get It? You have got to swap your
labor, your muscle, your mind, your
property for that money.
GOOD MONEY ALWAYS GOOD.
Another thing, good money is always
good. Good money Is always at par;
never at a premium and never at a dis
count When people buy good money
with bad money they say the good
money is at a premium. That is not 50.
the bad money is at a discount. That
IS what is the matter. Good money is
always at par. And yet we have a
man running for the presidency, on
free silver Platforms. with two vice
presidents, that says money is the crea-
tIre of law.
wen, as a. man told me today, law is
often the creature of money Qaugfhter)
but money never was and never wall be
the creature Of law. If you can make
money by law why should not we be
rich? If a hundred people should settle
on an island and form a government
and elect a legislature, they could make
laws and If money is the creature OF
law there is no reason why they Should
not be as wealthy as Great Britain.
Law Is inexllaustible and if you can
turn it in2to money, no nation has an ex-
cuse for being poor.
Then there is another thing. If
L..
and L would like to have some good
Bryan man answer the queStion-if
the government can make money by law
why should the government collect
taxes?
GIVE HONESTY A TRIAL.
LET us be honest. Here is a poor
man with little yoke of cattle crIltivat-
ig forty acres of stony ground, working
like a slave in the heat of summer, in
the cold blasts of winter, and the gov
eminent makes him pay SO taxes, wlheI
according TO theSemen, it could issue a
S1O0 0oci bill in a Second-iSSue a bill and
give the fellow with the cattle rest

ARGUMENT THAT KICKS.
"Al. but they say. what makes gol
