WHAT is there in gold that makes it
so precious and so sacred? Suppose
the producer, the laborer and the me-
chanlc would quit work, of what use
would gold be? It can neither be eaten,
worn nor provide shelter. Gold is the
god Of the wealthy. Before it they bow
down in idolatrous servitude and with
it as weapon they have wrought an
endless chain of misery which extends
throughout the whole world, permeat-
ing the land to every mount, hillock and
vale on the globe. Its motive power is
furnished by INSCRIPTIONS laws at the
hands of willy politicians whose only OBJ
ject in life is self. No other mineral sub.
stance is less useful than gold. 1t does
not enter into the construction of use.
full machinery and, even as money, it is
of no service when most needed. 1t is
the sword and shield of the rich and
the viper to the poor. It breeds discon.

egory of barbarism and woe-begons
worlds. Why not overthrow the demon
and make the laws of the country recog
nlZe value in other things as we'll as in

The doctor may be good old man,

They should not be submitted to until

cases out of ten, there is no reason for
them. In nine cases out of ten, the
