dard of value, the basis for all the
other money, is the suggestion of the
Rothchilds, Were this done, and the
ratio placed where they want it--at
"a to lit would be agreement to
keep the discount on silver and de-
monetiSe it permanently. The effect
of such u plan would be to retire ST.
600, 100000 in the hands of the peo-
pie should it be recoined at this ratio
of "a to /. Silver mining would be
checked, so that this amount of 81 800
100000 would never again be sup
Piled. There would not be silver
money enought coined in the next
century to make it up. The money
money loaners would not lose. The
people would lose it. Any change in
the ratio takes so much from the peo-
pie and adds it to the wealth of those
who own the gold. Every scheme
which savors of this attempt is
scheme for furthur fraud and oppres-
sion. Thank God that the people are
getting to understand it. Applause,
II all the people of this great and
grand nation had understood it rs well
as you of this magnificent common
wealth comprehend it, there would
have been at the late election the
same result all through the United
States as has been gloriously achieved
in Colorado and Nevada. rGreat APP
plauSe.] One servant of the money
lenders, of the gold ring, would not
have been succeeded by another.
1.-The gold ring holds mortgage of
over IS, 900, 00O,00O on the railroads of
this country, and the railroad man
ayers take their orders from che own
ers of gold Bankers take their ord
ers from the Kothchilds and are proud
OF it. The business communities are
dependent upon the railways and tile
banks. The newspapers get their adj
vertiSemcnts from the railways, the
banks and the business community.
What would be expected but that the
newspapers should do the bidding of
their masters. By means of these
powerful lnstrumentalities the gold
ring, the creditors of the people, con-
troll the party nominations and dictate
the policies of the parties writing their
platforms for them. When. | was Il
boy the anti-slavery agitation had
commenced. The wings and the
democrats agreed that they would not
allow the introduction of the slavery
question in their platforms and would
not present the issue to the voters.
The very fact that they would not
vote upon the question that was dear
est and nearest to their hearts did
more to inilame the abolitiOnsts and
bring into being the anti-slavery party,
the republican party, than all else.
"The same policy is being pursued
by the proud and gold-worship.
ing creditors of the people upon the
financial questions. Whom the gods
would destroy the first make mad.
The same cunning hand appeared ut
Minneapolis and Chicago, The same
power dictated who should be the
nominee Of each party. Both parties
declared their opposition to free coin
age of silver Both declared Them
selves in favor Of the perpetual rule Of
the gold king. When the people met
to protest four months before the cleo
ton at Omaha [applause] the papers
ridculed that great assemblage and
called it u ghost dance. Laughter.
And Mt that moment, throughout this
broad union, II majority Of the people
were in favor of the principles enunci-
ated at that ghost dance.
"Then through the misrepresenta-
ton OF powerful press and the lib
eral use Of money the gold ring sue
ceeded in inducing the masses Of the
voters to sell their biIthright. But,
by the grace of God. there were some
who were not blinded. [Applausel
Mark my words, that when count is
made public in every state 1t will be
found that che vote for the candidates
of the peoples party will cause the
widest alaim and dismay among the
little horde Of consplrators who would
farther rob the poor to more enrich
the rich. The vote was unprecedent.
1t makes the gold tyrants tremble.
[Applause] 1t was II mighlier upris.
ing than that which came in behalf Of
the abolition of slavery after fifty
years agitation in behalf Of the right
Of all men in this land to be free. ZAP
