Bring on your prosperity. Now is the time to organize Legions. Good times are still in the dim dis tance. Don’t wait until next summer to “get a move on you.” Every idle man, rich or poor, is a menace to society. Down with bank notes based cn in-terest-bearing bonds. If you are in earnest get into the fight; the battle is on. Carlisle’s speech makes it clear that "sound money” means dear money. very bank note is a robber—condemned by God because it draws usury. There is an end to the patience of the people, and that end is almost reached. The only serious overproduction that ever hurt this country was of liars and fools. Isn’t it about time the country was hearing from Cuckoo Me-Too Morton again? • The “sound money” advocates are the fellows who do not hesitate to buy legislation. The people of this country are subjects of Great Britain by grace of the two old parties. The “sound money” advocates swindled the depositors out of twenty-five million dollars last year. Bland evidently thinks he is traveling in a circle, and will again come to the “parting of the ways,” We are now in the “campaign of 1896.” you doing, brother? The goldbug is ip the saddle. No better republican campaign document can be found than is contained tn Carlisle’s speech at Memphis. That part of Carlisle’s speech which relates to finance would make a good republican campaign document.

The cold spell has done much damage to. crops, but not nearly so much as the present adihihistration’s financial policy. The main question npw in the ranks of the democratic party is which Is the head—the gold bug 01 the silver element? > • The Supreme court ought now to try its hand on settling the vexed question of what it takes to constitute a democrat. Without any reservation at all in the matter, we now inform Mr- Carlisle and his masters that it is a cheaper dollar that the £ ( ' That decision of the Supreme court on the income-tax law will cause the people to lose what little respect they had for laws.

It was fitting that Carlisle should deliver his so-called "honest/Currency" speech in a state where his party bad just stolen the governorship. The best results the people will get from the silver discussion is the in formation that metal money of any kind is only a relic of barbarism. The democratic party might claim to be a free-silver party with more propriety if It was not in the habit of electing goldbug congresses and presidents. The damage done fruit by the last cold spell will probably amount to five million dollars, but the loss by the last bond sale was twice that amount. They used to tell us Greenbackers that gold and silver was "God’s money," and now the rascals have demonetized one-half of “God's money." The goldbugs are prosecuting the ‘campaign of 1896” with a vigor that means victory for them unless a brave and active resistance is made. While Congressman Bland is marching along abreast with 'the party that struck down silver he Should keep open his communications with the "parting way.” There may be tome thlpgs in, the “maha platform that some people object to, but then there Is much leas than Is contained in the records of the two old parties. Sherman and Carlisle are not working double just now, but they are going over the same road, in the same direction, and In the *ame kind of harness. It is also proper to state that they are being followed by the same kind of crowd.

In view of the fact that the present advocates of “sound money" were the most persistent in wanting payment in a better dollar than they gave wbeu the bonds were issued, their protests now against payment of debts in ;• “cheaper dollar” will avail but little. Mr. Carlisle’s speech indicates what we have maintained all along, that the'' only excuse for the existence of the democratic party is to divide the people and allow them to be plundered by the wealthier classes. For years the democrats have been denouncing the republicans for what they called “the crime of 1873.” Thus another de.t.jcrat’c idol is shattered
