Labor pays all tbe taxes. The way to protect the gold reserve is to pay out silver. The man who thinks for himself is the man who succeeds. The issue is, which is the greater, the citizen or the dollar. The w T ay to increase the volume of currency is to increase it. A crank is a man with an idea nud the courage to contend for it.
