BONDS VS.. LEGAL MONEY, No. 2.
OTHER MENTION.

The sentiment against the issuance Of
bonds and the handling Of our finances
generally is not confined within party
limits but is permeating all parties and
all classes from the humblest voters TO
men in the highest stations Of govern
mental responsibility. The good seed
sown in the past is taking deep root and
bids fair to bring forth bounteous
crop OF the choicest fruits.
As an instance showing the truth Of
this will quote few paragraphs from
a statement made by Chas. N. Fowler,
(Rep.) chairman Of the house commit
tee on banking andcurreney. made Nov.
%, 1907. Would that every voter could
read the statement entire. II is an eye
opener.
In his introduction. Mr.. Fowler says:
Personally and from party stand
point, il is unpleasant for me TO disap-
prove the action Of the republican Nd.
minis,ration. bu, my study OF the ques-
tons. involved. and my duty to the pub
lie, compel me to set forth the reasons
why the action Of the administration is
surprising. extraordinary, unwarranted
and most unfortunate.

ed and successfully passed.

Cant the American people observe

experiences as we have been passing

The following from the Providence

peoples party is dead, it's spirit still

democratic parties are much more rad

but never while the pops were alive"
was there AS much agitation on the

er will be settled Rs long as congress
permits itself to be dominated by the
eastern money power, and the corpora.

II Is encouraging TO note how the
principles Of the Omaha platform are

Many Of those principles have been a.
