Jasper County Democrat, Volume 1, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1898 — Keep It Before the People. [ARTICLE]

Keep It Before the People.

That no nation on the face of the earth, having plenty of silver ooin or bullion, ever suffered for want of credit. That no bank ever collapsed which had in reserve plenty of silver coin or bullion. —■ That no manufacturing enterprise in the world had to stop manufacturing and discharge its employes that had plenty of silver coin or bnllion. That no farmer in the United States ever complained that he could not pay off the mortgage on his farm, purchase stock and the most improved implements who had plenty of silver dollars. That no railroad, insurance company or merchant or other business enterprise ever went into the hands of a receiver which had ample assets of silver dollars. That tbe war upon silver is dictated by goldbngs who desire to control the finances of the country for their own selfish ends, a species of piracy all the more dangerous and nefarious, because of the intention to legalize the infamy. That the battle now on for the free and unlimited coinage of silver is not only wise as a financial theory, bat involves the perpetuity of the liberty of the people and of our free institutions. Keep it before the people that the battle now on for the free and unlimited coinage of silver is a battle for the ngh* and will be fought out to the bitter end regardless of oonsequences.
