“Let my peep's go!” The treasury is still deficit!:, g. Anti-moncpoi., is the main issue. What are you doing for the cause ot reform ? Free coinage of bonds is what the gold-bugs want. Certainly, let Cleveland be nominated again. Why not? Gold-bug bombast is getting too cheap for the people to pay any attention to. The Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize fight promises to become an issue in Texas. The crime of ’73 stands proven. Will the guilty parties be hung, shot or imprisoned? It doesn't require any special legislation to maintain the parity of the two old parties. . Man is greater than “commerce,” If there were no men there would be no commerce. The greater a man’s knowledge, the greater his grief in a world of madness and indifference. If every good law that is passed is unconstitutional, then it is time we had a new constitution. A letter from H. C. Vrooman states they are doing good work in Maryland, and expect to carry the state in ’96. One of the weak points in the examination of banks is that there is no provision made to examine the examiners. The four million homeless victims of gold standard and monopoly rule are not shouting “sound currency” nor “sacredness of contract.”

There is no kick coming from the banks, corporations and trusts against the Kentucky platforms of the democratic or republican parties. McKinley went bankrupt himself — and now the Ohio treasury is empty. Wonder how it would work if he were made President of the United States. It is thought that the republican party will not split on the silver question. Wc think, too, it is rather too tough to be split with a silver wedge. Capital gives nobody employment. Labor pays its own wages by what it produces, and capital simply forces labor to give it a share for the privilege of living on the earth. Now that it is generally admitted that the money question is the most Important issue before the people, it becomes every day more apparent that the two old parties are the same. What hogs these mortals he! It now transpires that the Jackson Hole Indian outbreak is all the work of big cattle barons who want to run the small ranchmen and farmers out of the country. Gold bugs are making efforts to prevent all silver, debate in the future by calling their men off. The results are so invariable in favor of the silver champions that the goldites want to play mumble-peg for a change.. Bryan rung the bell when he fired that shot, challenging Carlisle to show us a free silver country that has been compelled to issue $160,000,000 in bonds to sustain silver monometallism. It requires bonds to sustain a single gold standard —that is why Grover and John issued them. It only costs $162,000,000 a year to sustain a gold standard. That’s only about $4 a head for every man, woman and child. But then it .goes to the rich and the poor ought not to complain. Vote ’er straight, boys, vote ’er straight. It costs like fury, but, then, we can’t leave the dear old party.

There are sixty agricultural colleges in the United States that are receiving assistance in some way from the national government. Of course this is a little socialistic, but, then, as it fits the bees to make more honey for the grabbercrats, the aforesaid grabber - crats are making no kick against it. If the government wants to test the value of free silver coinage dollars, or even absolute money paper dollars with the simple promise to receive, let it start to build a railroad across the country the labor on which to be paid in said dollars. Anybody knows that thousands of people would flock there to work for that kind of money. The size of a man’s salary has a good deal to do with a man’s democracy now. It is only those who are drawing salaries on account of being democrats that are making any great to do over the purity and patriotism of their party. The extreme length of speeches now being made by most of the honest democrats is summed up in the two words “Oh, rats!”
