just the thing______
The government issues a bond
for $100,000 bearing 4 per cent in-
terest: A bank gets pessession of
it, deposits it in the United States
treasury as security; continues to
draw 84,000 a year interest, and
receives from the government $90,-
000 in national bank notes, which
are in turn loaned out, for interest,
to the people as money. This
makes good money, according to
the ‘advanced Connecticut idea,
but if the government had not is-
sued the bonds, had not loaded it-
self down with an interest charge
of $4,000 a year, but had issued the
same identical paper in the form
of treasury notes—that would-have
ruined the country.
It may be true that the credit of
true that a United States bond is
better security than the government
itself; it may be that the note of a
private individual is better than
the note of the greatest government
on earth. All of these things are
possible, beciuse Connecticut says
so, hut "the American people wi l

The St. Joseph Gazette puts the
question thusly: "Ifyouwant more

I was coming to open the cam-
paign in what was thought to be
the heart of the enemy’s country,
but which I hoped before the cam-
paign was over would be our coun-
try. -
• Our hopes -have been realized
sooner than weexpected and when-
qyar ^be enemy goes aBer thia he
will be in our country, no ilnAtkr
where he is. Some of your finan-
ciers have boasted that they were in
favor of gold, but you shall teach
them they must carry their ideas
far enough to believe pot only in
gold but in the golden rule that
to the Populists on a false assump-
tion, and they are ready and,will-
ing to come back to their old affilia-
tions, because itistheonlywaj
that promises success to what Qh;x--
go-mmek desre" Their patriotism
and goodsense makethem do right.
But the eaders have shown by
.tbeir actions that there is no patr-
otism in their hearts, when there is
danger of losing their trade of lead-
ing and they propose to still keep
up as much discord 4s possible to
try to gain a selfish profit from it.
But the leaders don't count for
much after following has deserted
them, and it is safe to estimate that
ver at any ratio, and favor a single
standard of value, and that stand-
ard gold. We believe that this
policy, with a sound and stable
currency upon a gold basis, will
furnish sufficient revenue to meet
all requirements of the government
and properly support it.”
If there is an English money-
lender, or a New York bond shav-
er, whois not satisfied with" that
declaration, he must be exacting,,

out where is the danger of "flood-

Over in Georgia the people do
not regard Tom Watson as serious-

friends, I want you to set to your
opponeuts an example which they
have not set to you. They have
said that they represent the respec-
table element of society. Teach
them that respectability can not
be manifested by slandering every
man who differs from thttn in opin-
ion. And now, mytriends, I leave
you with one injunction: In this
Government every citizen is a sov-
erign and those upon whom the re-
sponsiblity of citizenship rests owe
it to themselves, to their c untry
and their God to exercise the right
of suffrage for the benefit of their
country. I bid you to do it not
only to investigate but find out
what is right, and I beg you every
one to have courage to vote your
sentiments and let your ballot reg-

A valuable exchange explains
theqositioo of a newspaper as fol-
lows: Suppose that a farmer raises
1,000 bushels of wheat a year, and
also sells this to 1,000 personBin
all parts of the country a greater
portion of them saying, "I will
hand you a dollar in a short time.”
Tb| farmer does not* want to be
small and says, "All nghtl‛‛ Soon
the 1,000 bushels are gone, but he
has nothing to show for it' and then
he realizes that he has fooled away
his whole crop and its value to him
is due in a thousand little driblets,
consequently he is seriously em-
barrassed in business because his
debtor, each owing him one dollar,
treat it as a small matter and think
it would not help much. Continue
this kind of buainesj} year in and
year out, as the publisher does,
how long will he stand it? A mo-
ment’s (bought would convince any
one that a publisher has_cause for
