What Do the People Gain By the
New Currency Law?
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE oNE.)

The Government had practically weathered
the storm Of Civil War: Gettysburg had been
lost bv the South. and all the world became
convinced that the North would finally WIN.
1t was then that the Government, which
had gained the prolonged fight by the use OF
its oarn paper money, had the fatal weakness
to agree tIut its 0tOn money should be burnt
Up. in order that the money Of the national
banks Should reap the east harvest Of the
Union triumph, IN q reunited country.
With that surrender of the Government to
the moneyed aristocracy, began the blacklist
chapter of financial history rnat any people
ever endured.
The money which had paid, fed and clothed
the soldier, bought the war supplies kept the
business of the country going. qodS q05ckedZy
called IN md tt}oun into the fiery furnace
more than fifteen hundred millions of it
In its place. went interest bearing bonds,
and the paper money of the national banks.
And, while that revolution in our money
system was in progress, the common people
of the country suffered more than they had
suffered during the four years of Civil War.
BY the destruction of the peoples currency,
the money Of tie 6anker got q monopoly;
and when the people had to buy some of this
monopoly-money, to pay debts and taxes,
they had to pay vastly more of their labor or
their property, to get the money.
Thus. the labor of the country, and the
property and business of the country were
more in the power of the money kings than
ever before.
Who denies this?
NOBODY EVER HEARD or Il
MONEY TRUST, EITHER BEFORE
TIE WAR, OR AFTER, EXCEPT IN
CONVECTION WITH TIE NATIONAL
BANKS.
The evil has gone on from bad to worse,
until the Government is at the mercy of it's
own creatures. Having abdcated the crown,
to moneyed aristocracy, the Government

need not be surprised to see the aristocracy
wear the crown.
The Government surrendered to a class,
BETRAYING A TRUST WHICH, 1T
HELD FOB ALL THE PEOPLE.
Why should we be surprised that this class
exploits to the utmost the irresistible Gdvaqat-
age which our Government surrendered!
BY the elections of 1912 the Democratic
party was given complete control of the Gov
presumption is. that the people who made
this change In rulers wanted a change In the
laws.
Is 1t NOT so?
Instead of remedying our troubled fnan-
ces By going bach to the money system Of our
Fathers and of the Constitution, we are told
that we must enhance this country, forever, to
the very system which has caused all our woes
We must forever enthrone the moneyed
aristocracy, giving to them the enormous
power to say who shall have and use the
money of the country
rs 1t not So?
It does US no good, if the Government,
after creating the money, gives it to the arts
tocrats of the national banks.
The physical act of engraving the notes, is
nothing The Government has always done
that. at~-ar
The vital point is-Who gets the money
after the Goucrenae'at creates 1t, and echo con-
trolls 1t, en- its getting TO the people?
By the Glass Owens bill, which Wilson and
Bryan rapturously endorse, the Government
surrenders all the paper money to the mon
eyed aristocracy-the privileged national
banks.
Where Is the relief?
WHERE IS THE HOPE FOR THE
PEOPLE?
John Sherman, Ernest Seyd, Baron Roth
schild, j. Pierpont Morgan, Nelson Aldrich
and Alexander Hamilton would all recognize
this new law as scheme after their own
hearts-0 scheme to e1otb0rne forever a na0n-
eyed-0ristocracy, to which the common peo-
pie will pay tribute, such as Persion satraps
and Roman proconsuls never gathered from
the helpless.
The Democratic party of 1913 had an
opportunity to do what Andrew Jackson and
his Democrats did-to throttle the national
bank monster, and to RESTORE to the Co..
e2nmae51t its sovereign poaOers to create, issue
and control the Nfe-6zood Of the republic

We have the Andrew jackson opportunity
but we have no AndreaO Jackson.

MIR. Bryan's Letter TO j. Sterling
Morton. Wanted the Office

Was i'm lt.


very vlrtuous.
Especially, in his talk. AS an exponent of
verbal virtue. William Jenkins has never had
an equal Without doing any violence to
veracity, you might call that noble citizen the
very embodiment of vocal virtue.
In the 'Nineties, William J. was making
many remarks calculated to displease people
who have sequestered from the public stock
any considerable number of ducats, doubloons,
pieces of eight, thalters, dollars, &c.
William was severe on mercenary persons
who give signs of being afflicted with the
love of lucre.
William said many hard things on this
line and made many rich but honest man
feel peeved.
William even went so far as to say that
those who believed in the British Gold Stand
ard, and the shylock views of the national
bankers, were no better than Christ-kilers.
You will remember that some of his
remarks along on this line were so eloquent
and beautiful that they found their way into
the graphophones Photographs, and all sorts
of talking machines animate and inanimate,
breeched and unbreeched, automatic, and
hand made.
In fact, the country was deluged with Bry-
ans vocabulary, and his aJtruistic sermoniz-
ing against money madness, dollar chasing
and SO on.
Some people got mighty tired of this per-
sistently unfriendly talk against money. it's
lovers, it's seekers, and it's getters.
One of these disguised citizens was j.
Sterling Morton, an able Democrat of the
Grover Cleveland stamp.
Bryan's constant disrespect for money hurt
Mortons feelings; and he finally stated that
he had letter In his possession which proved
Bryan's pretended prejudice against money
to be downright Hypocrisy
When Morton's statement gained currency,
the indignation of Bryan's friends was hot.
They denied the existence of such letter,
and challenged Morton to produce it.
He did so-and that ended the incident.
Here is the letter:
Your kind letter to Mr.. Lease was received and
delivered. I think it we'll received The
postscript judicious think.

New York. Feb. 24.-Tim Hurst the
veteran boxing referee and baseball

has been brought to the attention of
Boxing Commissioners O'Neil and

the infliction of fines.
III man persistently refuses tn
break out of clnches," says Timothy,
"a fine of S2h or less would make him
obey. For the use Of the kidney blow
soak his $50 more. But. of course.
those fines would apply only tn big
bouts in which the principals could
afford To pay heavy penalties. In the
smaller bouts fines of S. and $40 would
be sufficient After filming rule break

Offenses

kickers and If the fines are paid 10y
the players they take good care to
behave themselves. IL they keep on
kicking they are put out of the game
The same methods can he employed
successfully by referees of boxing
bouts and know that the sport would
be improved IL the commission should
