twenty years ago, and ten times as
much as the greenbacks with which he
brought our bonds in war times! Glory
be to God, America is ruined but
England is happy"
And this is keeping up a parity"
A parity with He'll!
For our part we would rather see all
ocean of fire rolling between Great
Britain and this country than see our
people pauperized and our republic de-
stroyed. Let us do just what the gov
ernor thinks we ought not to do:-
form a league with Mexico, South
America, China, Japan, India and the
other sllver-using nations; quarantine
England: nail the yellow flag of pesti-
lence to the fence; and cut off all con-
nection with the giant oppressor of
mankind. This gold o-metallism
means the enslavement of the nations
and the overthrow of civilizations.
We are in the throes and agonies Of
the crisis nOw;-Our land lighted by
conflagrations and reverberating with
the rattle of guns and cannon. Let
England Withdraw her investments.
If we have not gold enough to pay her
let her take silver, at hundred cents
on the dollar; or wheat or corn: and if
nothing else will content her we will
even pay her in lead; and. if necessary,
blow her off the face of the planet. If
it becomes question whether the
world is to perish or England, we
know what the answer of the world
will be.
We don't want to be understood as
rejecting on the great mass of Eng
lish people; they are noble race, but
we refer to the moneyed Oligarchy
which rules England, and has made
her land of millionaires and paupers.
What does the governors policy
mean? That the present awful condi-
tions must continue. There shall be
no more mining or minting Of silver:
no more increase Of the currency; con-
traction shall become greater with
every increase of population; there
shall be nothing but debt, debt: mort
cages, mortgages; interest, Interest,";
foreclosures, foreclosures: low prices for
mans labor and for all the products
of his labor; As cent wheat and 45 per
cent usury; that is the banquet to
which the republican party and its
candidate for governor invite the
wretched people Of this state; a ban
quet that would turn the stomachs of
crows and buZzards.
We are today debtor nation; an in
terest-paying nation: an enslayed ma
ton; and the Republican party is
down on its knees, like the poor black
wretches of Egypts begging England
to lend us little more money-only a
little more,-and we will pay them
sweat and, our blood, yea in our
front teeth, if she can use th en-

industry from creating ,ce0uh. Give this
great nation-this mighty seventy
millions of people, fair show and we
will create more wealth. by human in
duS try. (the only source Of all Wealtm,
in tW enty years than England has
stolen from mankind in three hundred
years.
We need a revolution;-a world-cm-
bracing revolution:-a fundamental
revolution,-reaching down to the
abysmal depths, and hot with the
breath Of the central fires. And it is
coming. The travail is sore; but the
child will lie born; and out of blood
and smoke and uproar it will rise,
smiling and bright and beautiful as
an angel the redeeming genius of hu-
manity;-and its name shall be Gus
tce;;" and the glory around It's head
shall be inscribed with the word
Peace" and in it's hand shall be the
overtloWing horn of Plenty; and it
shall stand on the highest peak Of hui
man civilization the visible represen-
tatiyes of God and his goodness.
