Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
Of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
Of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
Of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned Judge, skilled
lawyer, or court Of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it SO is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessfuf scheme to corner the wealth
Of the people, is now being printed

money has failed to muzzle or buy.
