orr Neb Railroad Commission.

Has been too busy to take hold of the
Southern Express Company.
Yet among the corporation horse-leeches
that are sucking the blood of the people, none
is more ravenous and Unsuitable than this Geor-
gia concern.
In it's relation to the Railroads it is the
favored shipper The special rates which it
exacts are in plain violation of the law.
In it's relation to the public it is an arbitra-
ny taxer, beyond all reasonable limits, of the
people whom it serves.
When will our new Commission lay it's
soothing, take-a-seatMajo touch on the
Southern Express Company?
A company which charges more for trans
portation than the goods are worth-such
goods as books, oranges, etc., etc-is compa-
ny that needs attention, and needs it bad.
When will it get it?
Then, again, we are still shivering and catch
ing the colds that lead to Pneumonia, as we
stand around the passenger stations of country
towns to take the night trains When are the
railroads going to be required to provide for
the health and comfort of their patrons?
Winter is upon us. Exposure at these pas
ssnger stations at night, will mean suffering,

But we are not able to see that our schem-l
ing fnanciers, their allies and their dupes,f
measure values in just that way
They require that the dollar shall be worth
dollar, else it is not honest; and you vote
it to be so, never stopping to think that you are
voting to make the yardstick worth a yard,
the quart measure worth a quart, the peck
measure worth peck, the 500 pound weight,
on the scales, equal to the 500 pounds of cotton
Why do the scheming hnancers demand
that the medium of exchange shall have intrin-
sic value? Why do they demand that, when
it comes to money, the thing which measures
shall be equal in value to the thing measured?
Because upon this vicious error they are
able to rear the colossal structure of their
own profit, power and prestige. When FIVE
dollar bill is required to be, itself, worth five
dollars in gold, those who can control the gold,
can master the situation. If five dollar bill
were required to be redeemed" when de-
handed, in five dollars worth of cotton those
who controlled the cotton would rule the land.
If every dollar of the money in circulation were
required to be redeemed in wheat, when
the holder of the dollar so demanded,
those who control the wheat would be masters
of the situation.
Don't you see it, son?
The scheming fnancers always strive to
MAKE the currency OF a people, TeQeeInaDlc IN
whichever metal is scarcest at the time, in or
der that they may be better able to control the
metal of final redemption. Whoever controls
silver, when silver is the metal of redemption,
rules the situation. It was that way some years
ago, in Europe.
But silver increased in quantity and then the
scheming fnanciers decided to make gold the
metal of final redemption Therefore we had
the long struggle which resulted in this uncon-
stitutional, villainous, and crushing Single
Gold Standard.
In its last analysis, the Single Gold Standard
means that every other kind of money must
be redeemed" in gold, when demanded.
The man who cannot understand what an
enormous power and profit this gives to the
few who have cornered the gold, may be deli
cately and accurately classed as follows:
G) The scheming financiers;
(2) The interested allies of the same;
Cd The subsidized editors, politicians, of
fee holders, and camp-followers, generally;
(4) The innocent dupes;
(5) The fools.
