land is the head and front center of TINS
Infamous scheme. The Astors, the Iioths-
ciills. tho great banking firms and money
centers Of Europe are aiders aud abettorS.
Wall street aud % per cent of all the
large capitalists In the United States
are gold-bugs. opposed TO the free coin
ago of silver. Why? The gold Of the
country is locked mp in the vaults Of
those who viii profit by its appreciation
The decentralization of silver viii en-
hlncc the value Of gold. This answers
the question. Why
As 10 the legislation Of the incoming
congress, | answer:
/. Let congress recognize silver, not
demonetize &c. Repeal the Sherman law,
provided they can get free coinage, the
Bland law or az the subtrelsuryite says,
something better Let them wage q
bold md determined fight against the
contraction Of the currency in any form
.. II the Sherman law Is re-
pealcl, let It be accompanied with a
repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on state
banks.
3. Revise the tariff Hit the NIcIlin-
ley tariff horizontally and perpendicular
ly; cut 1t not less than 20 per cert.
t.. If our congressman SHOULD be Of
the opinion that the revenues of the gov
eminent will not be sufficient, after re-
yising the tariff, to meet the pension
frauds and the heavy liabilities of the
recent Republican mal-ndministratiOn
then nm emergency will exist that will
authorize and justify them in laying an
income tax ON all abnormal incomes Of
$4,000 or over.
.. Let them examine closely the PEN
sion list. Pension all deserving federal
soldiers. but eliminate, cut on and drive
out every dishonest, fraudulent vampire.
Let our Democratic congress stand
up fairly and squarely in support of the
urincipes cnucinted in o1r national
Democratic platform at Chicago. Let
them redeem every pledge Of that plat
form. Above all, let them stand as
stone wall In defense of silver and
maintain its parity with gold. If they will
do these things, the future Of our party
is bright and promising: II motif they
yield to the powerful aggressions of
gold; If they surrender to the conspirn-
tors and protectionists. the real name
Of the grand old Democratic party is
