The following bluster Is an extract
from one of the broadsides being sent
out by the “sound currency” commit
tee, to he used as supplements to cuckoo
papers:
"Three-fourths of the people who fa

vestigation have a sneaking idea that
they can pay their debt easier with a
debased currency Ilian under the pres

this Is all a dream horn of the lurid im
agination of your typical free-silver ad- j
vocate. The creditor who holds a mort

actly an idiot himself, and the mo¬

with the money in which the creditor
has confidence. Just before the dawn

Ye gods, what patriotism!
This is the kind of stuff with which
(he organized plunderers are trying to
frighten the "ignorant rabble.”
It’s all a game of "lino!"
The entire sheet sent out by the com¬
mittee is composed of just Hindi sinister
threats and ridiculous hog-wash as
this.
It is intended for fools but It won’t
rub In. The people know that they
cun more enslly pay their debts when
money is plenty than when It Is scarce.
Neither are tho debtors all idiots.
They know that a real estate mortgage
cannot be legally foreclosed until ma
turity, or until there is a default In the
payment of Interest.
They know, too, that the capitalist
cannot force payment in gold, unless he
has made a special contract.
They also know that even after ma¬
turity of his mortgage, tho laws of
most of the states give the debtor from
one to two years to redeem his land.
In the meantime the price of the land
will so far advance as to give the debt¬
or ibl# such an equity in the land, us to «n-_
ntm to make a new loan at u low
er rate of Interest, which is bound to
follow an increaso of the currency.
Of course, the hard-hearted creditor
will do all he can to crush the people
and get hold of the lands, which arc ad¬
vancing in price—but the people them¬
selves are not feeling very tenderheart¬
ed toward the extortionists and con
tractlonlsts, who, by the destruction of
half the money of the country, have
forced the peoplo Into debt.
If the creditor has no confidence in
the money of tills government, the
sooner he gets out of the country the
better.
If he will not submit to the voice of
the majority of the American people,
he is a traitor, and should be hanged.
IVlien "the dawn of that happy sil¬
ver day” comes the hogs will find that
the banks and railroads have been
kicked out of the governing business
and their bluff has no longer any ter
ror.
The sheriffs, too. will be elected as
friends of the people, not as blood¬
hounds for plutocracy.
The people seek only Justice in the
restoration of American money to the
standard under which the great debts
of the nation wore incurred and the
fellows, who have conspired to contract
the volume of currency, deserve to lose
all they have gained by such contrac¬
tion.
The spirit of 1776 and 1S61 is being
aroused in the people, and it is foolish
braggadocio for the cowardly hush- j
whackers of plutocracy to attempt j
scaring the American people from their !
purpose. When majority of tho American | j
ft
people vote together for free coinage of
silver, thou they w ill also control the j
munitions of war- and if the traitor- |
ous goldbugs rebel, they wtll be treated j
with a dose of their own medicine. I
The people are not to be mocked for¬
ever, and such throats as the above
only make the people more determined
to overthrow the tyranny that dares
thus to threaten them.
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord
—and when the “capitalists” attempt to '
overthrow the nation for revenge, they
will find that the Lord is on the side of i
for the bloodsuckers people, and that the the other safest place j
is on side of j

FREE SILVER IN MEXICO.
An intelligent iiu«ih««m Man bixprovei

The Memphis Appeal, of recent date,
contained the following:
Major Jules A. Randle, a resident of
Monterey, Mexico, but a citizen of the
I'nited States, has written an interest
ing and timely letter to J. W. Gaines,
Esq., of Nashville. Mr. Randle Is an
old-fashioned Democrat, a man of pro
nounced views and marked intelligence,
and thoroughly equipped to give a faith¬
ful, interesting, and instructive history
of the effect of free coinage of silver in
Mexico.
The letter is as follows;
J. W, Gaines, Esq., Nashville:
You desire to know the effect of free
coinage of 3llver in Mexico, I have
been doing business in Mexico since
1866, and since 18X0 have lived in Mex
ieo, consequently, have had a good op¬
portunity to know tlie country and its
conditions, I operated, bought and
sold property there from 1866 tip to
date, i have known the eagle dollar of
Mexico—-I mean the present silver dol¬
lar when it sold in New York at $1.00
to $1.12 in American gold, when a gold
dollar was worth $1,32 to $1.34 in green¬
backs. Then Mexico was not in a flour
lulling condition. A very few men con¬
trolled the finances and the country
was in constant revolution, The poor
and middle classes had lint few rights
or privileges, and hence, naturally nrose
dcssentions. Today we have a liberal,
progressive government, paying its
debts, and Its affairs managed for the
benefit of Mexico and bor people. In
tho past fifteen years we have built
thousands of miles of railroads, and
with but fow exceptions, none of them
have been In the hands of the receiver,
and no reason on God’s earth for one of
these, save from a sharp financiering
standpoint often adopted hv American
speculators. The Mexican government
has given large subsidies, and notwith¬
standing the Lombard and Wall street
brokers, who seein to run the great
American government, they have sig»
nally failed to cripple and demoralize
Mexico,
i unlimited
Yes, sir; we have free and
coinage of sliver, and it buys every¬
thing we want in Mexico, without in¬
quiring what London and Its sister
city, New York, are paying for silver.
Mexico Is prosperous under free coin¬
age. Wo have no strikes, no corners
on money or any merchandise, no
trusts or syndicates controlling the
people or the government. The panic
of 1893 In the United States was un¬
known in Mexico except through Amer¬
ican visitors. Rents, wages, products
and landed Interests have in no way
been affected by American panics, or
by the low price of silver. There is not
a vacant house in my city (Monterey),
nor have we had a business failure for
years. Monterey has 60,000 population.
1 have lived in the city of Monterey,
state of Nueva de Leon, and since
18S0 we have doubled our population
and Increased our business a thou
sandfold. Iligh tariff in the United
States and the speculators in silver,
hacked'hy the American government,
have made Monterey in particular
and Mexico, generally, the most pros¬
perous section of tho North American
continent. The Windom ruling on
the lead ores that wore flowing into the
United States and right afterward the
McKinley bill made Monterey one of
the grandest smelting towns on the
globe.
That ruling and tariff caused a large
portion of the Mexican trade to go to
Europe and added millions of money to
the people who seem to manipulate
Washington. Our country and its
customs and habits seem to me to be
catering to England and adopting or
trying to ape English manners and
customs. The wealth of tho United
states Is rapidly falling into the hands
of a favored few, and if this thing
jjoes on for 25 years more lords and
dukes will be as plentiful as they are
now in Europe.
1 am an American and have retained
my citizenship and have always felt
proud to say that 1 am an American,
but now I see my country drifting into
. uo ^ an aristocratic government con
by trusts, and that money con
tro Rtxi largely by foreigners, that I
j rom pi 0 for the future. The all gold
money proposed by Mr. Cleveland is
humbuggery. If all the gold and sil
of the world were put in cirvula
would injure about one thou
sand men and benefit millions. Being
a Democrat 1 am for the great ma
jorlty.
1 am a lifelong Democrat, but in the
next election, if we can’t find good
Democrats to lead us. we'll vote for the
man " ho or party which has the nerve
to stand by the dollar of our daddies.

A Primary Lesson in Finance.
A bright boy whose father is one of
fortune’s favorites, finds among the
other presents in his stocking on
Christmas morning a $10 national bank
note on the Third National Bank of
Chicago, Ill. At the breakfast table
the boy begins to ask questions about
bill:
"What is it good for?”
“That is money, my son. It will buy
anything you want"
"Rut what makes it any better than
any other piece of paper?”
“Because the government says it is
good. You can see the signatures of
the register of the treasury and the
treasurer of the United States on it.”
“What did they sign it for?”
“To know that the government stands
good for it and will see that the prom
Ise on its face is kept.”
“What promise?”
"The promise of the bank to pay ten
dollars.”
'Is that what it is?”
"Yes. It is a promise to pay money.
and not money itself, strictly speak¬
ing.”
"Then the bank sends out these
promises to pay money?”
“That is it exactly.”
“What makes people take them?”
"Oh. everybody is glad enough to get
them, because they can buy anything
Jiey want with them, and the govern¬
ment's guarantee makes it sure that no
sne will lose anything on them.”
“That must be a nice thing for the
hankers. If I should get some prom¬
ises to pay money nicely printed with
green and black and red ink would
people take them for money?”
“No, indeed. Whatever put such an
Idea into your head? Banks couldn’t
do it if it wasn’t for the law.”
“Well, why does the law let some
folks’ promises to pay go for money
and not others?”
“Because the folks who make these
promises to pay are rich and have lots
of money of their own.”
“Oh, then, it is on the principle that
•to him that hath shall be given.’ ”
“No, not that, but they use their
money to buy government bonds and
then put the bonds into the hands of
the secretary of the treasury and he
gives them the notes.”
“Oh, they trade off the bonds for
notes and the government gets out of
paying out any more interest on the
bonds it takes in.”
"Not so fast, you young financier.
The government only holds the bonds
to make sure that the bills will be paid.
It keeps on paying interest on them
Just the same as if the bankers held
them.”
“Well, I suppose that is fair. The
banker gets interest on the government
bonds but he has to pay interest to the
people who take these notes of his for
what they have to sell.”
“Wrong again; you seem bound to
get the cart before the horse. The
people who get these notes from tho
banker pay him interest for the use of
them.”
“What! Pay him interest because
they take the promises to pay?”
“That is exactly what they do. The
promises to pay circulate as money and
they pay Interest for the use of the
money.”
“It seems to me that is getting the
cart before the horse. When you make
a note in a promise to pay money don’t
you have to pay interest on It to get
anyone to take it and let you have any¬
thing for it?”
“Yes, but in the case of the banks it
is different.”
“You bet! I should say it was differ¬
ent. The banks draw interest on their
notes and you pay interest on yours,”
“You are getting it straight now.”
"But isn’t a bank note a debt just
the same as your note? Don’t it show
that the bank owes so many dollars to
the man who has it.
“Come right down to the point of the
matter, I guess that is about the size
of it.”
“Then as you pay interest on what
you owe, the more you owe the poorer
you are, but with a bank it is different.
They get interest on what they owe
and the more they owe the more money
they make.”
“I suppose that Is true, too.”
“Pa, when I grow up I ain’t going to
sell groceries like you. I am going to
be a banker.”

Bearing in mind that what is meant
by usury in the Bible is the taking of
increase for the loan of money, read the
following texts and ask your pastor to
preach on the Bible doctrine of usury:
If thou lend money to any of my peo¬
ple that is poor hy thee, thou shalt not
be to him a usurer, neither shalt thou
lay upon him usury.—Exodus xxii:
25-26.
And if thy brother be waxen poor,
and fallen in decay with thee, then tnou
shalt relieve him; yea, though he be a
stranger or a sojourner, that he may
live with thee. Take thou no usury of
him, or increase; but fear thy God; that
thy brother may live with thee. Thou
shalt not give him thy money upon
usury, or lend him thy victuals for in¬
crease.—Leviticus xxv: 33-37.
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to
thy brother; usury of money, usury of
victuals, usury of anything that is
lent upon usury.—Deuteronomy xxiil:
19.
And there was a great cry of the peo¬
ple and of their wives against their
brethren the Jews. For there were that

flesh of our brethren, our children as

R. O. HORR.
Because He Was Unable to Meet Trutl
with Truth They Blame Him toi
Not Falsifying — What One Papei
Says.
The following from the Boston Her¬
ald shows the crafty trickery of the
hireling political liar:
"If the matter were more serious it
would be a subject for annoyance and
regret that in the debate going on be¬
tween Hon. Roswell Horr of Michigan
and W. H. Harvey of Illinois, the au¬
thor of “Coin’s Financial School,” the
sound money side of the argument ■
should he taken by one so little fitted
as the ex-congressman of Michigan for
the discussion of the financial ques¬
tion. As a humorous stump speaker
Mr. Horr has few equals, but the cur¬
rency question is not a problem that
can be settled by a joke or a humorous
figure of speech, Mr. Harvey is a
plausible writer, a skillful dealer in
half truths, and so far as study of the
subject is concerned, must be many
them; for other men have our lands and
vineyards. And I was very angry when
I learned their cry and these words.
Then I consulted with myself and re¬
buked the rulers and the nobles and
said unto them, Ye exact usury, every
one of his brother. And I set a great
assembly against them. And I said
unto them, we after our ability have
redeemed our brethren Hie Jews, whlcn
were sold unto the heathen and will ye
sell even your brethren? or shall they
be sold unto us? Then held they their
peace and found nothing to answer.
And I said. It is not good that ye do;
ought ye not to walk in the fear of our
God, because of the reproach of the
heathen, our enemies? I likewise, and
my brethren and my servants, might
exact of their money and corn. I pray
you let us leave of this usury. Restore,
I pray you, to them, even this day, their
land, their vineyards, their olive groves
and their houses, also the
hundredth part of -the money (this
looks as if the usury was only
one per cent interest) and of
the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye
exact of them. Then they said, We will
restore them, . . . And the peoplo did
according to their promise—Nehemiah
v: 1-13.
Get Together.
There is nothing which plutocracy
so much fears as intelligent organiza.
tion of the farmers for political ef¬
fort.
The individual is easily overwhelmed
hy an organized power and it is by a
practical appliance of this fact that cor¬
porations are domineering every legal
authority in the land.
It is through ignorance of this fact,
that unorganized farmers are being one
by one turned out of their homes.
Old party speakers are never found
advocating organization among the
farmers, yet they are never found con¬
demning the organization of bankers
and speculators.
This is Illustrated very forcibly by
the attitude of Secretary Morton of Ne¬
braska, as presented on two different
occasions.
From his speech in this city, Oct. 16,
1893, we clip the following advice to
the farmers:
“Less legislation and more learn¬
ing, less gregariousness and more indi¬
viduality, less dependence upon asso¬
ciation with the alliances and the gran¬
gers, and more self-reliant independ¬
ence, based upon acquired facts, is a fair
statement of the interests of the farm¬
er.”
This same Secretary Morton in refer¬
ring to the communication of J. R.
Buchanan, writes John DeWitt Warner
as follows:
“My object in sending you thi^ letter
of Mr. Buchanan is to give you a thor¬
ough business man’s view of the situa¬
tion. The letter show's how fallacies
flourish among the farmers ef the west
and south. The letter also points out
to you the necessity of immediate co¬
herent and organized action in behalf
of sound money." This now is his ad¬
vice to the bankers.
Individual action for the farmer, but
“coherent organization" for the specu¬
lators.
When Morton gives advice concern¬
ing organized effort, it is all owing to
who w'ill be benefited what that advice
will be.
Organization among the farmers nev¬
er fails to secure the downfall of such
fellows as this Secretary Morton.
It is through the organized strength
of corporations that he holds position
and pow'er.
Every association of the farmers has
led tow'ard industrial liberty and this
fact should not be overlooked.
The watchword must be “organize
and educate.”
There is no good reason why farmers
should permit themselves to be forever
the prey of designing politicians.
While they continue to “go it alone”
they will remain the easy victims of
organized speculators.
This is a question of vast import and
one that cannot long be ignored.
The farmers must get together or be
one bv one crushed down by organized
greed.
Bankers and speculators never fail to
vote together when their interests are
at stake.
There is but one hope and that is “get
together.”—Chicago Express.

times the superior of his opponent ia
range and variety of information. To
have a man put up In public debate
which is advertised all over the coun¬
try who, upon trial, shows that he can¬
not cope with his adversary, is, with
the unthinking at least, to cast discred¬
it upon the side which he is defend¬
ing.”
Oh, no! It was not a serious matter.
Strange, however, that the goldbugs
should have made such a hullabaloo
about bow they were going to break
up ’’Coin’s Financial School” and stop
the "silver craze” all at one swoop,
Strange, too, that the goldbugs, hav¬
ing their choice of a champion, and be¬
ing themselves the challengers, should
have selected a “stump speaker” like
Horr.
Were they only joking?
Did they think the “School” such a
farce that a jackass could bray it out of
existence?
If the goldbugs are not posted on tho
currency question, as the Herald com¬
plains of Horr, then why do they set
themselves up to educate the American
people?
If their cause can’t stand in debate,
why don’t they just admit that they
have no cause?
Surely, with all the truth on their
side, as they claim, they ought to havo
somebody with sense enough to prove
it.
Surely they are not all Ignorant.
If they are, they should post up.
Maybe that after they learned some¬
thing about the currency question they
would be in favor of “free coinage, 16
to 1, without asking any other nation
on earth.”
Most men want proof, and it is sur¬
prising that a man should be a goldbug
or anything else and not be able to tell
why.
Certainly It will cast discredit upon
the cause Mr. Horr advocates, with the
THINKING people, to know that he
was unable to cope with his adversary.
Mr. Horr was, before the debate, re¬
garded as the ablest defender of gold
ocracy—and the result shows that he
had a weak cause. No doubt about his
eloquence and all that—but the truth
was on the other side, and such being
the ease, no man on earth could havo
downed Harvey.
The Main Issue.
Never since the war has there been
more discussion of the money question
than during the past three months.
The free coinage champions are the
most enthusiastic, active and aggres¬
sive, and representing the view's of a
large majority of the people, naturally
their meetings are the largest, their
books are most widely read, and suc¬
cess seems already within their grasp.
But the gold standard fellow's are ac¬
tive too. They are long-headed
schemers, and working hand in hand
with the leaders of the tw'o old political
parties, they expect to divide the silver
vote so that the minority may rule.
It seems absurd, but the handful of
gold-bugs opposed to the people have
as the matter now stands a better show
of winning than have the silver men
backed by the sentiment of the masses
of the American people.
That is because sentiment won’t elect
silver men. It requires silver votes, all
cast for the same set of candidates, to
elect silver men. Democratic and Re¬
publican silver men w'ill throw their
votes away trying to reform the two
gold-bug parties. The Populists are
solid for silver, and will not fuse with
either old party to help elect gold-bug
officials. So that as it now stands the
silver men are in three camps and the
gold-bugs are practically a unit, having
control of both old parties, and being
sure of getting their own candidates
elected, if they can only manage to
keep the silver men from bolting their
parties.
The gold-bugs assume ail virtue, and
their cry of “sound money” is only a
! catch phrase by which they will try to
dodge the question,
There can be no doubt of the honest
intentions of the silver men, and no
doubt that they consider independent
bimetallism the best means of securing
"sound money” in sufficient quantity to
transact the business of the country.
j The talk of international bimetallism
is a farce, and the question must be
decided for America by Americans only
The silver men have the best of the
argument and the majority of the peo¬
ple on their side. Now if they will only
j vote together of the the thing brokers is settled, and
the howl money may go
