The Grend Old Humbug.

The Republican party insisted in
1895 that there was need Of currency
reform and the people OF the United
States were quite willing to agree, in,
asmuca as the currency is exactly
what the Republican party made it.
Bns while Republicans, restored to
power, still talk of need Of currency
reform they discover that they have
nc plan or ara fruitful in oojsction to

gold reserve, issued interest bearing CD.

Illicit proceeding. Tney represented il

they themselves are talking Of issuing
long time gold bonds to redeem de-
mand notes bearing 40 interest. But
even as to tnis program there IS no
unanimity The only agreement in

there is need for RepU 5lican reform Of
the currency created by Republicans,
