G books and papers are charging the origin of the present "silver craze" to the selfish work of millionaire owners of silver mines. That statement is a premeditated, coldblooded goldbug lie. The people need more money in order to break the corner which the gold-buand money lenders have on our country's cash. The money monopolists don't want it because of the very reason that the people do. For vears, the eastern plutocrats y have been parading the racket before the people and have howled themselves hoarse for continued and greater protection to American industries. The West have proved their patriotism by cheerfully paying tariff tiibiite to build up eastern industries. Silver mining is an important western industry, and when we, of the West, ask for recognition of olir silver mining industry, we are called "lunatics," "selfish," "financial fools" etc., etc. It is unadulterated gold-bugall. 23 RKE1IoL irin t,o in. & xk gold-bu- g g Can't be bought, But that which breaks the least, we hare'to sell Ask your storekeeper for home-industr- Plymouth SiML BINDING W E Sheaf of Wheat Braiad, And take See no other. that each BALE BEARS.
