Money Too Valuable.

Money, in my opinion, is too valuable. The rate of interest is too high. Cheapen the rate of interest and the entire country will prosper. Interest is regulated by the supply and demand of money. Increase the quantity of money and reduce the rate of interest. I often hear a business man say he can make more money if he could sell his business and loan his money; that makes it self-evident that money is too valuable. Free coinage of silver will not aione increase the amount of money, but will give employment to a great many people, and then you wi|l have more consumers; this will start the factories. Confidence is a good thing, but factories are not run on confidence alone. They first secure their orders before they secure their men or start their machinery, without these orders factories will soon reach the end of their rope. We, as laboring men, should think of things carefully and each and every one cast his vote for the policy that he thitaks will do the greatest good to the greatest number and he will sfirely receive his

share.
