Such professors should be ordered to In
culcate into the minds of their pupils the
idea that an "honest dollar is a dollar of
the highest purchasing power" a dear
dollar" and that dear" dollar means
low prices for everything measured by or
exchanged against that dollar, and that
by receiving low prices for what he has
TO sell the debtor may more easily dis
charge his debt and the producer OF wealth
receive more for his products.
These professors must thoroughly under
stand that men of fabulous wealth VINO

taught within their walls the policies ana
systems through which they acquired their
great riches.

While our great and good COMMANDER
graciously informs us that we were sorely
shocked and grieved AZ the barbarltes
perpetrated hv the Spanish soldiers against
the Cuban PATRIOTS In their struggle for
liberty, resulting in the butchery or star
walton OF hundreds OF thousands Of men,
women and children. yet he gives us the
comforting assurance by way Of complete
exoneration OF his Administration for per-
hitting the long continuance OF these
atrocities that the victims were nearly

our affeetionate master further COM
forts uS with the knowledge that ny re-
framing from prohibiting the slaughter
and starvation OF these thousands OF pow
ertv-stricken wretches he preserved from
n severe shock the refined and tender sem
sibilities OF tho very best and nohlest class
OF the citizens of the world-the holders
of the Spanish bonds.
When we contemplate the serious injury
which would be sustained by them In the
depreciation OF their bonds as the result
of Independence, our very souls revolt and
we count as naught the destruction Of
few hundred thousand lives of penniless
wretches and the perpetual enslavement
OF those who survive.
We therefore congratulate our greatly
cherished commander upon the wise, gen.
erous and humane policy applied to the
Cuban troubles which found its warrant
IN the sacred motto OF the party. "money
the master; everything else the servant"
The gathered wisdom of the ages having
found secure Judgment in the sacred
skulls Of our dearly beloved leader and
his self-anointed co-saviors "of the coun-
try's honor" they have discovered and,
through us their humble and obedient SER

Mr.. Ientz. An overrroductlon.
Mr.. Hartman Creadngl--
While this new application OF the theory
of overnroductiof>to population is not full
Iy understood by the common people, 1t
has stood the test OF some of the gigantic
intellects Of our economists that have
been especially employed and literally pald
to teach the doctrine of the gold standard,
and we therefore confidently incorporate
1t IN this platform with the following
automatic utterances Of the party:
l. The overproduction of wealth causes
poverty.
walton among the people Is that there 10
too much food produced for them to eat.
T. Men women and children are naked
and ragged because there are too many
clothes for them to wear
4. The extraordinarily large production
OF coal and other fuel Is the cause Of so
many people suffering from the biting
cold Of winter. II there were less pro-
duced everybody would have more to
burn.

s. The overproduction Of people Is re-
sponsible for the decreased demand for
all things used or consumed by man.
We extend orr sincere congratulations

We therefore commend In unqualified
