President McKinley's three will

President McKinley's three wild
geese bimetallist commissioners
have had talk with Lord Sails
bury and "Baron" Rothschild about
permitting the United States to
coin silver. This entire British
bimetallism which has been carried
on for twenty years and more by
the party in power-whichever it
might be-is a burning disgrace to
the American people. The whole
swindling game is costing the
people of the United States from
$3.50, 900, 900 to $4O0, 900, 900 annual
in tribute paid to this ''Baron"
Rothschild and his gang OF gold
pawn brokers.
Lord Salisbury inquired what
were the powers of the American
commissioners, and was informed
that they stand authorized to make
arrangements for the holding of an
international conference, or to nego-
tiate a treaty of international BIZ
metallism, which they might sub
init to their government for rati-
fication.
Could any proposition be more
contemplate and disgraceful than
that Mr.. Mckinley through his
three commissioners, is begging the
privilege of the monarchies OF
Europe to indenture the Americans
to the money power of the old
world, binding them by solemn
treaty to submit to the dictation OF
these kingly powers in all matters
pertaining to financial laws!

The rloney Theory of the World.


This theory teaches
I. That money must be made of some
material that is rare and valuable. Hence
gold and silver are used as money metals
II. That money must be equal in value
to the things exchanged.
III. That money is measure and stan
dard of value.
". That money is as medium of ex
change because it is valuable.
This theory is all assumption. There
is nothing in the nature of things tha
warrants single one ofthese four asump
tions. The whole theory is a relic O
barbarism. The logic of events ha:

tax on cabbage: "This tax of three cents
