GOLD-BUGS ARE A BAD LOT.

Men Who Vote with Them Are Fool* for Their Folly. The dally press of the country i» owned by the gold-bugs. Nearly all the big papers are owned by the gold-bugs. The leaders of the republican party are owned by the gold-bugs. The leaders of the democratic party are owned by the gold-bugs. Populists are foolish if owned by the gold-bugs. Can any one tell what benefit has been derived from the gold-bugs? Who is responsible for the ruined and wrecked business and stagnation of every industry? The inen who have voted with and for the gold-bugs. Well, now. say what interest have you in the gold-bugs any way? Is this a free country? If it is, why not let the people who want gold money have it, and let those who want silver and greenbacks have them? The populists want plenty of money to make times good, the gold-bugs have better times when money is scarce. Why? Because the dollar will buy much more, you know. In other words, it takes more bushels of wheat or pounds of cotton or any other products of labor to buy adollar. —Oberlin (Kan.) Herald.
