The New Currency Act.

The goldbug press has ragged and roared
against silver and manifested the rage of a
mad bull at sight of a red flag. And now
that they have got their Wall street bill
on the statute book let us see what they
have done with silver.
There is to be coined $40, ooo, 900 ofsub-
sidiary silver. The silver certificates are
to be issued in one, two, FIVE and ten dol
lar bills. Not more than one. third of the
amount is to be as large as $40 $50 and
500 notes. No treasury notes will be
less than $40, and national banks are
prohibited from issuing more than one
third of their currency in denominations
smaller than IS bills.
It will be seen by these restrictions that
small denominations is provided for the
people, and this will be used to transact
nearly all the retail business ofthe coun-
try. Silver, after all the talk about so
cent dishonest dollar, is set apart by this
gold standard law to transact the greater
part of the businass of the country, and
this is about all the money the people
will ever see. The national banks will
issue the bulk of their currency in large
denominations, and hold it as reserve.
together with the deposits of silver OH
xutt0t, a.. 1.
loans they put ont in place Of money,
while the nIeager circulation of silver coin
and certificates will be used by the con
sumers TO pay bills. This process OF
financiering will insure low prices and
low wages. Farm products, especially.
will continue at a low range of prices and
insure cheap food TO the employees of the
great trust manufacturers, and enable
them to keep the wages of their hands
down to the lowest point.
A high tariff will shut foreign manu-
featured goods out Of the home market,
which will be protected for the trusts,
that will put the prices up to the highest
point at which the people are able TO buy.
While the trust manufacturers have
high protective tariff OIL the class of goods
they manufacture, the raw material they
use comes iAiree or under low rate of
duty.
This new money law may properly take
its place as the eighth conspiracy and
be added as an appendix to Mrs. Emory's
Seven Conspiracies, little book that
should be generally read
Every American citizen should make
careful study of this gold and banker
conspiracy which has been steadily work
ing toward climax since 1862. when it
started with the exception" clause on
the greenback. And it has not yet reach
ed completion. This last act does not
satisfy the conspirators. They propose
to fight on for more power and greater
privileges. Greed is blind as mole and
its appetite is Unsuitable as the hogs.

that men and women generally have
