The committee, In accordance to
the above resolution, elected . ma
tional committee Of one member from
each State.
This committee met IN Chicago on
July 18th and passed a resolution
empowering and instructing the
member of the committee from each
State to proceed at once to organize
"Honest Money Clubs" in his State.
Therefore, now call for the organi-
zation of Honest Money Clubs" in
every county in he State.
The scheme Of the single gold
standard men is:
First. Toprevent any further coin
age of silver into legal tender dollars
at the ratio of l6 to l, and to bring
this country to an absolute gold
basis.
End. To have the silver dollars al
ready coined robbed of their legal
power. SO as to be only token silver
money to be redeemed in gold, like
token paper currency.
3rd To destroy all silver certificates,
treasury notes and greenbacks, and
to issue and fasten upon this coun-
try gold interest bearing bonds to
the amount Of the money and cur
rency thus destroyed. The coin
bonds of the government already is
sued will then be made payable in
gold only.
4th. To increase the power Of the
national bonds by turning over to
their management and control the
entire issue of paper currency to
be redeemed in gold.
If the above Infamous scheme
succeeds the hard times we now have
will be made twice as hard and the
liberty and prosperity Of the Ameri-
can people will be sealed forever.
The object Of the Honest Money
Clubs" will be to bring together all
men who are opposed to this dia boil
cal English plot and who will fight
not only to the bitter end to prevent
its consummation but also to re-
store ard MAINTAIN an honest finan-
cial system.
The time has come when il is the
duty of every patriot of every party
to come together and fight the Eng
lish gold curse with the same unity,
zeal and determination that our
forefatheIs fought and drove Brit
ish bayOnets from American soil.
AS soon as club is organized
send in the name and postofiice of
the the President and Secretary of
your club.
/ recommend that a State conven-
ton OF these clubs, as soon a. n suf-
tirieDt number are organized, hold a
State conference for the purpose of
consultation, DE.

HOW TIKI GOD MEN CAN WIN AND
HOW THEW CAN IT,. DEFEATED.
BY request this editorial which
app AIRED Aug. LIST, will be kept in a
few issues of the paper.l
Any man who has watched the
current of events for the past few
years knows that the next Ma
tional conventions of the two old
parties will not declare for the free
coinage OF silver. Each one of them
may write straddIing platform and
nominate halfway silver man for
Vice-President, but everybody will
know what that means. The ma
chinery of both old parties is not only
dead against silver and more money.
but is in league with and controlled
by the gold men. Therefore every man
who stays in either of these old par
ties will simply be helping and
strengthening the gold men. Then
how can any man who ia not in
favor Of a single gold standard stay
in either of these gold parties. Do
you want the gold men to win? No.
Therefore you will not vote the gold
ticket. Will you sit down and do
nothing while the enemies of pros. |
perity commit their crime? No.
Therefore you will fight the gold
men with all your power. Yes, You |
will fight them and vote against
them. You will work aud vote for
q platform and candidate for Presi- !
dent who is square on the financial |
question.
There is but one way that the gold |
men can win. That is for the patriots
in the Republican party who are op-
posed to the gold men to stay in
that party, and for the patriots in
the Democratic party who are op-
posed to the gold men TO stay in that
party. Then the gold men would
put up two gold bugs for Presiden:
and the patriots would help elect one
OF them with their votes. If the
Peoples Party should devide and
each Populist should go back to his
Old party, the result would be the
same.
There is but one way that the
gold men can be beaten. That ia
for the patriots of the two old par
ties to come together. Then all the
