it represents both gold and money and
by this standard measures the value Of
all exchanges.
Here IL the capacity Of the gold
standard for measuring prices: To gold
owners the people are debtors AZ fol-
lows: Gold bullion, 25.s grains, secured
by bond, II; peoples money stamped
to make gold exchangeable as money.
81; duties on imports, paid with these
gold dollars and added to the price Of
imported goods. 81; national bankers
bill, 81: total, 81. The banker pays
the people one cent for the paper in his
dollar, that Is to be the only exchange
they will have. under the provisions OF
the new currency bill, for which, they
pay him 81 and interest, secured by
mortgage on their homes payable in
gold, as he repudiates dollar that Is
not full legal tender and collects from
the people 81 and one interest for it.
His profits In the deal are, gold, note,
mortgage and interest, bonds and in
terest, the money stamp or fat Of the
people, that fixes the price OF his gold
at 81 for 25.8 grains. Then our repre-
sentatives in congress assembled make
that dollar the legal measure of all
other values and call it an honest dol
lar.
may be called crank by the gold
standard supporters, or pessimist, but
+ challenge any man or set OF men to
disprove these statements. The people
should all know that neither gold nor
silver is money. Now If man changes
| 81 Of paper money to SO he goes to
states prison, but when the banker
raises the price of gold in 81 to two.
three, or 1--WE dollars. he is called a
great financier and is placed in the pres
ident's cabinet See price OF gold in
1866, $2.S5. J.
II say gold is money know
am a liar. If say silver Is money !
am no less liar. If say silver dol
lar is not dollar in money I am not
only a liar but fool also, and don't
know that silver bullion or gold bull
lion is no more money than pigs of lead
or sheets of brass or side OF sole ,leath-
or or a bushel of wheat or corn. |
hurl back into the teeth Of these de-
ceivers Of the people their lies from

er's cow. All are commodities with

yer dollar is a 5O-cent dollar II you
want to prove to- the world that the

a greenback dollar for his silver So
cent dollar and then tell him his paper
dollar is worth only one-fourth OF a cent

| Wealth producers, did you. ever see
a note written payable in gold money
are your bonds made payable in money!
No, sir. II they were you. could pay
them with paper money. They are
| payable in coin, and your gold written
notes and mortgages are payable In
| gold coin, not money. # you could
pay them in money the bankers would
| have to take back his own note that
he loans to you, and then repudiates
demanding gold from you.a
Farmers and all wealth producers
why not consider this money question
with your family at your fireside" and
quit paying $4'in gold for money thai
the father of it repudiates? This is con
elusive evidence that national bank bill:
are bastard money.
l. Our congressman and bankers having
committed fornication with gold, as IL
written in the 18th chapter Of Revela
tions, first, second and fourth verses
Money Is always the fiat or command o.
the people that it be the medium O
exchange for all values. Now tell m,
how gold or silver, valuable coins, cal
be made money. "Oh, consistency
thou art a jewel" BY secret robbery
through deceptive gold, the wealth o
the many has passed into the hands o
the few. In thy name, oh Liberty
how many crimes are committed" Coli
Is on the throne, the people are slaves
to its owners. r+~.e
