The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1894-07-20

fought In the union army who is wrong
now and with England on this question;
and believe that it were better for the
republican party to suffer defeat now On
this money question, handicapped as It is
by English and Grover Cleveland combi-
nations, whereby it might learn some
sense, than to have it win now on these
issues in order to strand the party in 1896,
and ] would rather see you beaten now
than to have your voice added TO that Of
the gang in Congress who are manipu-
lating the republican party under the
guiding hand of English domination.
How a man of your ability, with the dis
astrous results OF 20 years of vicious leg
islation on this question before you, with
wreck and ruin all around you, while the
wall of the houseless and homeless in mis-
cry, squalOr and despair rend the very air,
can shut his eyes and turn from the con-
tenn plation thereof and now renew the
clamor for an honest dollar as interpreted
by our English despoilers, is one of the
idiosyncrasies which I cannot and have
not, since made an examination of the
subject, been able to understand.
Can't you see that you are thus playing
into the hands of that power which to-day
owns the carrying trade of our people on
the ocean, and which power, through our
United States courts and receiVerships of
their own choosing, is fast getting control
of the trans ortation upon the landG
Do MT you know that the Transportation
of an article from the place OF production
to that of the consumer Is as much a part
of the cost of production as the work of
him who produces it?
Don't you know that the power which
controls the transportation of an article
from where it Is produced TO whore 1t Is
consumed can absolutely fix the price
thereof to the producerf
Do MT you know that England to-day
controls both our transportation upon the
land to tide water and on the ocean TO the
5Snsumer, and that she has been and will
continue TO strangle orr agricultural in
dustries by reason thereof
Do MT You know that, ont of no ships
leaving our CaIifornis coast alone during
the last seven months ships loaded with
American products for foreign oOnsump-
tion = 100 Of them were foreign bottoms
and sailing 8 foreign flag?
Do MT You know that all the misfor-
tunes which Cypress the American people
to-day had their inception IN the vicious
financial legislation of 1873 and since, and
that we have been brought to where We are
by English influence on this financial
question; and do MT you know that but
for our tariff lava which have kept the
American market for the American farmer
and artisan, that influence would hsve en-

Don't yOu know that just In proportion
IS you diminish the volume of money In
the country you necessarily enhances the
purchasing power thereof and CORE
spondingly press down the value Of every
