o'o "orlu, Win tne SOlu truSt on
both sides of the Atlantic to destroy
democracy throughout the civilized
world by monopolizing the circulat-
ing medium, creating falling prices,
want and dependence. have been
aware of the union between hereditary
aristocracy aid gold monopoly to re-
duce the masses to subsection through
misery and want. | had not sup
posed that the combined forces of
monarchy and goldocracy were suf-
hcently confident in their power
TO CRUSH THE PEOPLE
TO proclaim their purpose, and throw
off the mask. | did not know that
their contempt for American man
hood had made them so arrogant as
to suppose the people of this country
would submit without struggle, or
that the people were sufficiently i'm
poverished to make resistance to the
gold power impossible. You have
great advantages. Every monarch
and every money changer of Europe
is in your combination. You have
on your side the allied banks of Eur
ope and America, the press, the tele-
graph and the railroads controlled by
the banks. You have two great
parties called republican and
the other democratic-and you con
troll the machinery Of both. You
have prestige, power, money and in
fuence. You have the accumulations
of seventy millions of people, inhab-
iting country of boundless resourc-
es. Your class have every means of
misleading the people, and you have
been for the last twenty years
nfasquerading as their friend and as
the friend of bimetallism, and by
your deception and cunning you have
impoverished the masses and sent
want and misery to every household
in the land.
"But you overestimate the power
of gold monopoly, which on the sur
face seems omnipotcnt. You can
own everything but the people of
the United States. You have i'm
poyerished them by deceiving them,
but you do not own them. Your
open declaration of war will be ac-
cepted. The gauge of battle, which
you have thrown down, will be taken
up, and the question will be settled
in the campaign of 1896. AS you,
in effect, predict, there will be ar
rayed on one side the aristocracy and
and money powers of Europe and
America and on the other the Ameri-
can people, born to be free, whom
you would make slaves. Under a
new declaration of independence
against monarchy and money, the
fight will be made by a liberty-lov-
ing people, who have, for more than
100 years, succeeded in every, con
test against wrong and oppression
THE SPIRIT OF LIBERTY.
1t is natural for you to feel strong
in your surroundings. You know
the combination of money and the
power of aristocracy in which you
move and have your being. But
you do not realize the power of the
spirit of liberty in this country, mol
the deep resentment for the wrongs
you have inflicted upon the Ameri.
can people. Because you have de.
stroyed one half of the metallic mon
ey of the world and control the othe
half, you think the people are power
less to restore the money of the con
stitution and regain liberty and in
dependence. Because, by contrac'
ton of the money volume, you have
created fallen prices and closed
every door of enterprise and shut of
all opportunity for the young and
ambitious to acquire an independence
you think that you have subjugated
the people. Because you have de
prived the farmers and the mechan
les of money with whice to educat
their children, and young men O
opportunities to acquire wealth hon
estly whereby they can become in
dependent and self-respecting citi
zens, you think you have destroyed
their manhood, and that they vii
willingly submit to the hard condi
tions which tyranny and avarice i'm
pose. You are mistaken.
