More greenbacks. Stand by your home paper. More greenbacks and less bonds. Down with the banker’s rebellion No more bank notes or bonds forever. Greenbacks are true American money. More greenbacks and less monkey business. Where there are so many wildcats, there must be a rat. So in i) the alarm! The bankers are advancing on our homes. The eighth financial conspiracy is worse than the other seven combined. Perpetual prosperity is what the principles of the Omaha platform provide for. Twist it and turn it as much as you can —still the banker's plan i- one of rebellion. Plutocracy will pull the other leg as ,soon as the republican congress convenes. Let us have more greenbacks, without any exception, ands, ifs, buts or bank notes. INDEI’KNI)KNT free coinage of both gold and silver, and independent issue of legal tender greenbacks.
The life of the nation is threatened. The bankers are about to capture the most sacred right of government. While putting down the rebellion of bankers against government money, let us free the debt slaves of the country. The rebellion against government money must be put down—and the only way to put it down is to issue more greenbacks. The present banking system may not be the best in the world —but the one proposed in the lialtimore plan is certainly the worst. The bankers’ plan is too outrageous for cool argument. It must be denounced in the hardest words the English language affords.
China is about to jump out of an elegantly .Japanesed frying pan into the fire. She contemplates borrowing money from the Rothschilds. Of course the green backer’s tulle is all “fiat lunacy"—and yet the bankers can't issue money even under the Baltimore plan without the aid of government fiat. The attempt of the democratic President, aided by the republicans, to destroy the greenbacks, will drive lots of honest workingmen oat of the old parties into the new. Nobody will now deny that the money question is the important one. A plan is proposed by Grover and John a:;d the bankers to destroy this great fa action of the government. We believe in paying all honest debts—and do not consider it inconsistent to suy that the first, and the last, and the next issue of bonds to keep up a gold reserve, should be repudiated.
It is all right for the government to f amish money to the bankers without interest on :>> per cent security. But it would be awful to furnish money to t:.e farmers on 125 per cent security at a low rate of interest. The bankers will force congress to P'tss the new currency bill by drawing all the gold out of the treasury, while outwardly pretending to be opposed to the bill—fooling the people with one hand and forcing congress with the other. A bill has been passed by the house allowing all the railroads to pool thenprofits, thus making them practically one corporation. Whoop 'er up! The next step will force the government to take charge. Corporation socialism hath a tendency. There would be no currency at all under die Carlisle plan. There would be a worse panic than the world ever knew-. The “safety fund" is to be accumulated gradually on a small percentage, and it would be ten years before the fund would be large enough to issue the bank note proposed. Article I, section 3. clause 5 of the constitution, says: “Congress shall have power to coin money and regulate the value thereof." Will some one please point out a clause in the constitution authorizing congress to delegate that power to the bankers? The opposition to free coinage of silver is that it would increase the amount of mouet- in circulation. Do you think the fellows who want to demonetize silver will expand the circulation under the Baltimore plan except for temporary advantage to the tanker; .v get noitj of more to
