over &0,UUO,UUU,UUU on the railroads OF
this country, and the railroad managers
take their orders from the owners Of gold.
Bankers take their orders from the
Rothschilds and are proud Of it. The
business communities are dependent
upon the railways and the banks. The
newspapers get their advertisements
from the railways, the banks the and
business community. What would be ex-
pected but that the newspapers should
do the bidding Of their mastersG BY
means OF these powerful instrumentali-
ties, the gold ring, the creditors OF the
people, control the party nominations
and dictate the policies of the parties,
writing their platforms for them. When
was q boy the anti-slavery agitation
had commenced. The wings and demo-
Orats agreed that they would not allow
the introduction Of the slavery question
in their platforms and would not present
the issues to the voters. The very fact
that they would not vote upon the ques-
tion that was dearest and nearest to their
hearts did more to inflRme the abolition
lists and bring into being the anti-slavery
party, the republican party, than all else.
"The same policy is being pursued by
the purse proud and gold-worshiping
creditors of the people upon the finan-
clal question. Whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad The same
cunning hand appeared at Minneapolis
and Chicago. The same power dictated
who should be the nominee Of each
party. Both parties declared their op-
position to free coinage Of silver. Both
declared themselves in favor Of the per-
petual rule of the gold king. When the
people met to protest four months be-
fore the election at Omaha applausel
the papers ridiculed that great assem-
blage and called it q ghost dance.
Laughter And at that moment
throughout this broad union, majority
Of the people were in favor of the princi-
Piles enunciated at that ghost dance.
"Then through the misrepresentation
Of a powerful press and the liberal use
of money the gold ring succeeded in in
ducing the masses Of the voters to sell
their birthright. But, by the grace OF
GOd, there were some who were not
blinded. Applause Mark my words,
that when the count is made public in
every state it will be found that the vote
for the candidates Of the Peoples party
will cause the widest alarm and dismay
among the little horde Of conspirators
who would farther rob the poor to more
enrich the rich. The vote was unprece-
dented. It makes the gold tyrants
tremble. Applause.l It was mightier
uprising than that which came in be-
half Of the abolition of slavery after fifty
years agitation in behalf of the right Of
all men in this land to be free. Ap-
plause.
THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY.
"And the cause is righteous. It is
the cause, again, Of human liberty. /
say human liberty, because without
money we must become slaves. With
the gold standard we must be deprived
of money and we must become slaves.
"But take courage, all friends Of free
silver. The united protest Of Colorado
and her sister states has encouraged the
friends Of freedom everywhere. You
have sent the glad tidings from sea to
sea. The mountains have buried the
enemies Of silver spplausel and. they
dare not show their heads. From Ne
Vads to Utah we planted them too deep
for resurrection. Laughter and ap-
plRuse. We would not trust o county
Office to an enemy of silver.
"Our battle is against the wrong and
against wrong doers. The assassination
OF silver by the most cowardly and
stealthy Of means in 1878 was the great
est crime Of the century, and every man
who does not array himself on the side
OF the army demanding the full and COM
plete announcement OF that crimes re-
suits and the restitution Of silver to its
lawful place, is an accessory after the
fact and an enemy to his country. Great
