Here's Where You Can Chew
Your Cud.
PAGE SEVEN

ON January 2, 1914, your great and good
- Government, Of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people, issued a Treasury
Statement.
[ learn from this gladstone document
Gladstone is a word / swiped from the
Socialists that the patriotic national bank
ers who enrich themselves paying off your
due bills with theirs, and charging compound
interest both ways, have outstanding pieces
of nicely printed, colored and
engraved-to the amount of $3.50, 972 .246O0.
That, is most cheerful pile of paper.
Due bills to the amount of seven hundred
and fifty million dollars, that cost the debtors
no Interest, and for the use of which the men
who borrow them pay at least sixty million
dollars year, IS certainly gorgeous Special
Privilege, IN a Government of the people. for
the people and by the people,
The people who borrow these due bills from
the people who owe them, are the people who
make crops worth ten billion dollars year.
The people who lend their due bills to help
those people make those crops are the peo-
pie who get the crops.
This would be a great joke if it were
proposition in finance coming from the Man
In the Moon.
But inasmuch as it comes from the Man in
the White House, and is solemnly declared
to be sound sense by the people who issue the
due bills, we meel1ly accept it and we meeEly
surrender the ten billion dollars we dug out
of the fields, mines, quarries and mills.
We do this, from year to year, because we
are so devotedly attached to a Government
that is of the people, by the people and for
the people.
Those due bills the whole $3.50, 100000, are
to remain in existence perpetually, for the
rev Democratic money law gives eternal life
and privilege to those Republican due bills
of the robber Wall Street banks, which we
Democrats have been so fercey denouncing
ever since the Civil War.

Was Mr.. William Jenkins BRYAN
Telling tEae People the Truth,
When He Asked That judge
Parker be Elected
President?
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE oNE.)

Speaking to the silver Democrats, Mr.. Bryan
said:-
IF Judge Parker wins victory it will be a
victory for my ideals we'll his and if I could
die on the night after the election and could feel
that I, in small part, had contributed to drive
out Of this country the infamous doctrine of
imperialism, would feel that I had not lived in
VAIN
Referring to labor, he aid:-"I charge that
the Republican party is raising the army in order
that the trusts, having robbed this country Of
hundreds of millions of dollars, may use the
army paid by the people to force the laboring men
down to the starving point
Mr.. Bryan said before clOsing:-"I am so
Democratic that [ would like to postmasters
elected by the people. I tired seeing the
Federal Government come into town and
appoint as postmaster man whom the people do
not want
81 am tired seeing Federal patronage used to
build up political Machines
Mr. Bryan's ideals are now clothed in
Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Bryan is not clamoring for reduc-
ton of our Army and Navy.
Mr. Bryan displays singular patience with
the Trusts who are starving their laborers,
and shooting them like dogs in West Vir-
glnia, Michigan and Colorado.
Mr. Bryan IS not as tired of seeing the
Federal Government come into town and
appoint Postmasters, as he was eight years
ago
Mr.. Bryan is not now demanding the cleo
ton Of postmasters by the people,
Mr.. Bryan has reconciled himself nobly
with "the infamous doctrine of imperial
ISM
Mr.. Bryan is not as tired of seeing Federal
patronage used to build up political machines,
as he was when the vile Republicans were
doing it.
Mr.. Bryan, however, is just as ravenously
fond Of hearing himself make virtuous
noise, as he was in 1904-and, being Secre-
tary of State, he charges more for the noise
Mr.. Bryan is great man: SO was the late
Phineas T. Barnum.

How The Foreign Mission Craze
Helps the Pope.


beget children, and thus the endless chain is
heightened.
Take ten years of immigration: let us saw
that en- million Roman Catholics, imported
and native born, represent the increase of
pOpery for that decade.
The estimate is not exaggerated
Those ten million Catholics continue to
rear children in popery; and every year adds
million Catholic immigrants to the ten mil
lions. Thus eleven million Catholics rear
Catholic children, and next year another mil
hon Catholics come over.
That makes a constantly increasing horde
OF American Catholics, plus the million that
will move over during each year
It is any wonder that the Roman Catholic
papers claim that their natural increase will
give the rope the control of this country in
another twenty years?
Wherever Popery rw3es, nobody but the
priest can have a Bible nobody can have
freedom In the choice Of his religion, nobody
can enjoy freedom of speech and of press
nobody can have self-government, and
nobody can control the education of his own
child
That is popery: do you want it?
OWr foreign mission fanatics are, qnaoit-
ta7agly, helping the italian chqAach to faSten
pope1.y on this coeSpatry.
o the extent LnaC the attention, the energy
and the financial resources Of our people
especially our Protestant 0rqanisGti0ns-are
taken away into distant fields Of effort. to
that extent the lines of deTense are weakened
here at home
Can any proposition be palmer, clearer,
truer?
There is no getting round it.
10 oppose the Italian organization of the
italian Pope and his Ring of Italian Cardi-
nails, qoe must have organization.
The Italian Pope is the Commander-in-
chief of an army. HIS forces are disciplined.
There are, under him. the captains Of tens,
the captains Of hundreds, the captains of
thousands.
One flag the Pope's-fies over them all.
One spirit-that of the Pope-inspires them
all At his word they march; at his they
fight. And they are marching upon our
democratic principles, laws and institutions
''hke an army with banners"
On their Columbus Day anniversary. thew
blockade our streets, they stop business, they
f1aunt the Pope's hateful flag in our faces,
they march In military array with their rifles
shining, and their Archbishop Quigley boldly
tells us that they are ready to fight whenever
the Pope gives the word
How are we to meet this organization of
the Italian Ring that wants to rule the world
In the name of the Italian Pope?
We must haze organization.
The Protestant churches were organized to
combat popery as long as those churches did
the work for which they were intended there
was life, growth, and usefulness in them
But the papists, beaten to their knees,
begged for peace, and got it. Whereupon,
the Protestant churches began to lose life,
and usefulness: they grew in size, but lost in
vigor.
The silence of the Protestants gave the
papists their chance, and they worked it to

So sure, so positive, so quick and

the use of Croxone, that three doses
day for few days are often all
that is required to cure the worst
case of backache, regulate the most
annoying bladder disorders, and over
come the numerous other similar
conditions
1t is the most wonderful prepara-
ton ever MADE for the purpose. 1t
is entirely different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on
earth to compare with it. 1t is so
prepared that it is practically iuapos-
ole to take it into the human sys-
tenn without results.
You can obtain an original package
of Croxone at trihing cost from any
frst-class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone fails to
give desired results, regardless of
how old you are, how long you have
suffered, or what else has failed to
cure you.
