Needs Strengthening.

Hugh NJ. Hanna, Of Indianapolis,
the noted goldbug agitator and walk
ing delegate for the bank trust, de-
clares that our money system needs
strengthening. This is what every
dishonest financial rascal in the Unit
ed States has been saying and doing
for the past twenty-five years. They
commenced with what was known as
the "Public Strengthening act" Of
1869 which changed the bonds from
currency bonds, or bonds that we're
payable ingreenbacks, into gold bonds.
In 1870 they passed the refunding act
taking up the old bonds and lssui lg
new bonds payable in coir. In 1873 they
/ demonetized silver so as to make the
bonds payable 10 gold. They also
made them the basis of the, nati,n
banks, and banks were authorized to
issue bank promises to pay up to 80
| per centof the face value OF the BONDS
ard draw interest on both the bonds
and the bank paper. Then the banks
got the tax on circulation reduced;
then were authorized to issue paper
up to the full value of the bonds. Then
they were made government dep 'sita-
rles so thegov. rnncntcould ON n on
ey to them without interest that 1T
taxed out of the people on import du-
ties, that were levied to protect the
trusts. Now they want an asset cur
rency secured by the assets of the
banks, such as trusts, stocks, merger
bonds or amy old thing that is called
an asset, and this is the beautiful gold
asset system that the republican par
ty, Wall street and the trusts have
built up. The entire system is based
on fraud, built on dishonesty AID rob
berry, and like every other thieying
proposition needs to be strengthened
to keep it from exposure and failure
