The first méans.that the volume of paper mobey shall be owned and controlled by the banking' syndi cates and they will derive the -protits therefrom. With the second, all paper money will be issued by the people, they will controlits volume and the incre ment derived therefrom will go into tiie treasnry and reduce taxation.

It will be noticed that the People's platform is not exactly the establish ment of silver at a ratio of 16 to L, but pathier that the barking should be done by the government on a bimetallic or gold and silver basis treasury scheme, ilma.
