People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1896 — Gold With a String to It. [ARTICLE]

Gold With a String to It.

Our opponents say, “We want sound money.” What would you think of a carpenter who tried to build a house upon an invisible foundation? And yet they want to build all the commercial transactions of this country upon a little lump of gold, regardless of the fact that foreigners hold a string to the gold and can jerk out the foundation of our commerce.—Vt J. Bryan.
