Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 November 1902 — Your Share of Money. [ARTICLE]

Your Share of Money.

Have you $28.66? If you have not, you are 6hort your per capita share of the money circulation of the United States, and some one has what would be coming to you if the money that is in circulation were equally divided. This statement is made without reservation, on the authority of the latest report of the treasury department. Another thing; you are entitled to 7 cents more than you were one year ago, according to this same re{>ort, even though there has been alowed for an increase of 113,000 in the population, for in that same time there has been an increase of ipore than $65,000,000 in the money in circulation. So, you see, you are better off than you were a year ago —if you get your dues. In fact, you are getting better off all of the time. What has happened since 1879? The population lias increased 58 per cent, and the money in circulation has increased 176 per cent, and more than onehalf of that increase in circulation has been in gold or in gold certificates.—New York Herald.
