The Sham Fight On the Money
Bill. Those Who Want t Are
Pretending DO Oppose It.
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE oNE.)

\COTNCLUDEO tROM PAGE ONE)
Have the heavens opened and shown us a
new light which convinces. us that all our
great men were wrong?
For more than half century. our books.
platforms, speeches and editorials have
sought to convince our people that, if privi-
legged class be given the power of Money,
this class would rule and rob all the others.
Has the Book Of Wisdom been opened and
have we found that all of our writer's and
speakers were wrong?
So late as 1904, the whole country rang
with Bryanite denunciation Of asset Cur
rency'2that is, money based on the COM
mercial paper of few privileged Wall Street
manipulators of stocks and bonds
Was that Bryanite denunciation all
wrong? Is it right for Wall Street to issue
money on it's stocks and bonds? Is it wrong
to issue money on land, wheat, cotton and
corn?
For reasons that I pointed out as soon as
the proposed new law was published, I qca1ra
y0u against 1t.
That bill repudiates~rverything the Demo-
cratic fathers taught. It accepts everything
the John Sherman Republicans proposed. It
yields to Wall Street and the Money Trust
more than President Taft qcus able to
deziUer
1t stultifes Bryan as no public man in
America has ever been stultifed In stand
ing for that bill, he has acted the turn-coat
as no other American office-seeker, and
money-chaser has ever done.
President Wilson, indeed is not exposed
to the same charge: his books put the coun-
try on notice that he was no Jeffersonian, no
democFat, no peoples man.
This Hamiltonian, class building and class
erorlching bill, is precisely what expected
from the cold scholar who wrote the Wilson
books.

France Treats Silver and Gold

My Dear Mr. Watson:
N discussion with banker,~he cited France
L as the greatest money country of the world,
and gave as reason that it was on gold basis.
denied the fact that France a gold basis,
but to the contrary reserved the right to pay
either gold silver; which of us is correct? 1
also stated that France issued bonds in small
denominations, thus encouraging her people to
invest in home bonds; is this correct? I wish you
would write book currency

If gang Of spectators were Incorporated
for the purpose of carrying the mails; or
supplying the Navy with arms, ammunition
and provisions; or of operating certain kinds
of business, free of taxes; or if certain per-
sons we're given the sole right to sell tobacco,
to peddle looking glasses, or to import tea
and cofee-these would be special privileges,
and they would give the grantees an unjust
advantage over their unprivileged fellow
citizens.
By immunities, I mean exemptions from
those social burdens and duties which all
members of society should share, and share
alike
Let no man be immune from road duty,
jury duty, or any other kind Of social duty
merely because of his birth, or wealth. Gage,
infrmity, &C., are differently
Let no man be exempt from taxes. IF I
had my way, every piece of church property
on earth should pay it's full, fair share.
In that case, we would have more taber-
nacles that poor people are not ashamed to
enter.
Whenever modest man feels awkward and
abashed in the temple-the church-that
money-bags made-then, there's something
out of joint.

AS ever, your friend,
w. H. TINsLEY.
(ANswER)
France gets the benefit of a plentiful cur
rency, by utilizing both silver and gold.
Her credit therefore rests upon the broad
basis of the two metals.
If her gold runs low, she pays out silver.
If her silver runs low. she pays out gold.
She does not take orders from a purse
proud millionaire who struts up to the win
dow, with lot of paper notes in his soft,
fat hands and insolently says-"Give me gold
for this paperw
France looks into her cash box, notes it's
condition and hands out either silver or gold,
as suits her interest. If the purse proud mil
lionaire doesn't want the silver, France
says
"You can keep the paper notes, then"
If the purse-proud person doesn't like it,
he can lump it. France has no Money Trust
buying the Wilson's and the organs and the
Aldrlches and the SmOots of her controlling
political parties.
In France, the land is more generally dis
trlbuted among all the people than anywhere
else in Europe, or America
In France, the common people have more
of the money than anywhere else in the civil
lied world.
But in these United States we have been
SO completely bamboozled by the sham fight
between Republicans and Democrats that we
have almost produced the landlord class and
the money-owning class which are causing
the bitter upheavals in England
It seems to be impossible to teach our vot-
ers that Democratic manufacturers are as
merclless to labor, and as greedy for mono
poly, as are the Republican manufacturers.
1t seems to be impossible to teach our peo-
pie that Democratic national bankers are
just as tyrannical and rapacious in the abuse
OF their USu1ped pOaOerS to make and control
the money, as the Republican national bank
ers can possibly be.
The great political effort of my life. ever
since 1889, has been to convince our people
that no class of human beings-no matter
what name they go by-can be safely trusted
with unlawful powers, privileges and immu-
mites.
BY powers, mean the authority to do,of
Themselves, what ought to be done by the
government.
Examples fixing express rates, passenger
rates, freight rates, bridge tolls, telegraphic
charges, &c.
The power to fix such rates as these. is the
power to tax-and the power to tax, is the
power to confiscate another mans property.
or knock the life out of his business.
No private persons, or corporations should
be allowed to exercise such an enormous
power.
Whenever such rates are fued, qoAich the
people are practically forced to pay. THE
PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE REPRE-
SCENTED.
1t was that principle upon which our fore
fathers waged the Revolutionary War

Roman Catholic Murders Within
the Last Few Years.

THE priests had Professor Femer killed,
because he was introducing modern
schools into Spain.
The priests had Premier Canalejas killed,
because he was proposing to separate the
Roman church from the State of Spain.
The priests had Mayor Gaynor shot
because he had said he was going to stop the
robbing of the public treasury in New York
by the Romanist secret societies and schools.
The priests had Madero killed, because he
would not agree to restore Rome's control of
Mexico
The priests had Congressman Dominguez
killed-through Huerta-because Dominguez
was brave enough to denounce Huerta's
criminal seizure of power in Mexico.
That Huerta is the embodiment of the
Roman Catholic efforts to ro-conquer Mexico
for the Italian pope, IS shown by the fact
that when Huerta sent soldiers to break up
the Mexican Congress- not single Catholic
was arrested.
Further evidence is furnished by the fact
that the Roman Catholic bankers of Europe
are furnishing Huerta-the betrayer and
assassin Of Madero-with the money to pay
his cut-throat soldiers. The following news
item appears in the New York Times, of last
Friday

HUERTA GETS So, 600, 900 LOAN.
French Bankers Said to Have Been Influenced by
Catholic Chiefs

Paris Oct. 16.-President Huerta has obtained
a loan Of So, 100000 in Paris, chiefly, according to
cTcumstantial reports, through the influence of
the chiefs OF the Catholic party
The Most Reverend Jose Mora, Archbishop of
the State Of Mexico, is understood to have come
to Europe recently partly on this account.
The loan presumably on short term bills,
to be repaid out of the proceeds of the unssued
portion of the loan arranged for last Spring. when
the bonds have been sold.
