The man who learns to seek power
within himself. who learns to rely upon
himself, is never disappointed; but he
always will be disappointed when he de-
pends upon any outside help, There is
one person in the world that will never
fail if you depend upon him, and are
honest with him; and that is, yourself.
1t is the self reliant man that is in de-
mand everywhere.

measures was condemned by repub-
measures every one of which
lican editors and repudiated by re-
publican orators, the people being
assured that there was not the slight
est danger that the republican party
would adopt such measures. But
the advocacy Of such measures after
election day is eminently character
istlc OF the republican party. The
national banks have altogether more
power than they should have. The
enormous advantages now enjoyed
by national banks should be with
drawn, rather than increased. The
asset currency is the thing for which
the money trust has fors years con-
tended and one of the things it
most desires. 1t will be sorry day
for the American people when they
sleep SO soundly as to permit these
money gamblers to place upon the
statute books such measure as is
contemplated by the American
Bankers association. Do not forget

determined effort to force upon them
an asset currency, and this effort is
to be made by men who, few years
ago, protested vigorously against
the restoration Of bimetalism. Then
they protested against fifty cent
dollar but now they are pleading
earnestly for no cent dollar. Then
they wanted the money which the
people are to use to have "a solid
and substantial basis" but now
they want money issued on the wind
and they want to furnish the
wind. 1t will be well for the Amer
lean people to prepare for a syste-
matte campaign along these lines.
Soon Americans will be hearing
if, indeed, they have not already
heard it through their local sages
that there is something radically
wrong with our currency, and that
"a more elastic currency or emer-
gency currency" is necessary to
meet the demands of business.

may be known. it is the same old

Mr.. Miller seems to think that
whether right or wrong all good

may be instances in which Mr.. .s",il-

the rule is certainly otherwise.

themselves the Army OF Jesus. Al M.
