If silver goes, gold must follow. Nothing is settled until it is settled right. Vote for the principle, regardless of party. The rich anarchist ought to be suppressed. National banks are the robbers of civilization. We are glad now we didn’t pay our income tax. The Supreme court went plutocratic by a small majority. The rich pauper ought to be made to work for his living. Guns, laws, and decisions settle nothing unless they settle it right. Carlisle’s speech is a great defense of the republican financial record. The People’s party is the only party that represents the interests of the people. The people have all power in their own hands if they had sense cnottgh to use it. The trouble with the churches is they are trying to worship God on a gold standard. The income-tax decision seems to be based on the supposition that the people are fools. The railroads should be owned by the people. It is the only way they can be controlled. If we had the referendum there wonld be a drouth for the men who farm the legislatures. That was a hard blow to the democratic party when Carlisle said there was no "crime of 1873.” Four members of the Supreme court decided that She decision of the other five was unconstitutional.

According to Carlisle’s speech both old parties have been lying all the time about the money question. a The initiative and referendum is the solid rock upon which alone we can safely anchor the ship of state. Nq'power on this earth can stand before the revolution which the plutocrats are provoking in this country. Mr. Carlisle did not explain the process by which gold and money obligations had been appreciated in value. If Carlisle’s speeches prove anything they prove that neither gold nor silver are fit for the money of civilization. Wall street can rest assured now {hat when congress tails it the courts can toe depended upon to come to their rescue.

Secretary Carlisle's speech proved that the bankers were about masters of the situation under our present system. What the bankers call “honest money" is money consisting of their notes oh which they can collect interest from the people. The, greatest .Question that the Supreme court settled by its income-tax decision is that plutocracy is running this country. War is devilish, yet our churches are drilling their students in the arts of ~war. But then the churches are becoming tinctured with a little devilishness. The income-tax decision and Carlisle's speech, coming about the same time, is rather burdensome, but then it’s all in the interest of “sound money.” The two old parties and the new silver party are only discussing one plank of the currency question. The People’s party was wise in not being drawn into that trap. The income tax is laid in its grave, and now the Supreme court is under•by pifulic sentiment for murdering the only good thing the Fifty-third congress did. By raising the npy pf "sound money" the Wall street pirates are trying to create the impression that everything Hse but gold and bank notes based on bonds is unsound currency.

Carlisle says that we have been on a gold basis since 1837, and that the demonetization of silver in 1873 was ohiy a. legal recogntthm of what was really a practical condition. I• - It can be said of Carlisle’s speech that it is as able a defense of the gold standard system as can be made by anybody. The trouble is not so much in the speech as it is in the system it defends. . Mr. Morton says that silver won’t Circulate because It is so cheap, and Mr. Carlisle proves in his speech that it is always the cheap currency that circulates best. Hi, there, gentlemen, go back and learn your lesson better! And now comes Mr. Carlisle, who says there was no "crime of 1873." This 4s a great blow to democratic orators. Jt will despeechize, as it were, thousands of speeches made in the past. It is very evident that somebody has lied.
