JOHN e. CARLISLE, who is now
Cieveland's right bower for a gold
standard, said in 1878:
The movement to totally demonetize silver
is stupendous conspiracy conceived by the
moneyed interests of all countries to increase
the value of One-half of the worlds metallic
money by destroying the other half. The sue
cessful contamination of that conspiracy would
be more disastrous to the people of the world
than war, pesulence or famine.
Secretary Carlisle now advocates the
contamination Of that very conspiracy
the results of which he so graphically
defined only few years ago when a
congressman.

repeal and a single gold standard.
Those are the kind that voted the re-

time telling the farmers what is the
