such vague generalities as you your
self employ, and that if you have no
reason for maintaining the gold
standard which will benefit your
cause, then nobody else has!
under these circumstances, if
your gold combination is to be sue
cessful, you must find some way of
satisfying the people that it is right
for them to be poor and miserable, if
thereby they can secure the smiles of
the manipulators of an alien gold
trust; and that if five-cent cotton and
fifty cent wheat are agreeable to the
Rothschilds, the people of the United
States are sufficiently compensat- ii
for any sacrifice they may make.

In the Shadow of PlutOcraCy.

General l.. s. Brice, in the North
American Review, March, 1889, said:
1--WE are living in the shadow of
an unbridled plutocracy, caused,
created and cemented in no slight
degree by legislative, aldermanic and
congressional action; a plutocracy
that is far more wealthy than any
aristocracy that has ever crossed the
horizon of the worlds history, and
one that has been produced in
shorter consecutive period; the names
of whose members are emblazoned,
not on the pages of their nations
glory, but of its populations; who
represent no struggle for their coun-
try's liberties, but for its Doodle; no
contests for magma charta, but rail-
road charters; and whose octopus
grip is extending over every branch
of industry; plutocracy which con-
trolls the price of the bread that we
eat. the price of the sugar that sweet
ems our cup, the price of the oil that
lights us on our way, the price of the
very coffins in which we are finally
buried"
What sad comment on our insti-
tutions! Yet every man that reads it
knows that it is true. There is scarce
ly an article in the long list of what
might be termed necessities, the
price of which is not fixed by trust
that levles tribute on the people with
as much rapacity, if less danger,
than the barons of feudal ages. We
may we'll inquire, where will it end 2
The trusts are nourished in the
fostering care of the two great poll
teal parties that have been shaping
the destinies of this nation. The peo-
pie seem to be paralyzed with poverty
and discouraged by repeated decep-
ton. There is only one party in the
field today that the trusts and corpo-
rations are fighting. 1t is the Peo-
ple's Party. To 1t the masses may
look for succor from the domination
of plutocracy.

"A thing as International he metallsm

reconciliation in Germany is the
German wheat grower. Agitation

Sooner or later the German farmer
will realize that they are being
buncoed, just as their America n
cousins have been deceived and mis-
led by Juggling and lying platform

ton looking to monetary confer

When Mr.. Everett moved his reso-
luton in the House of Commons,
which pledged the government to
accept whatever invitations might be
extended for a bimetallic confer
ence, there was not a suggestion OF
opposition even from Sir William
Harcourt. the acquiescence was
ready and gracious. Whether i
was from fear of the Manchester
spinners who are clamoripg for ;
bi-metallic currency, or from a Ger

yention In the south,
New YORK, April 1G.-President
Cleveland's appeal for ''sound
money organization met with re-
sponses today at the meeting of the
eommittue on programme for the
twenty-fifth annual convention of the
American bankers association, to be
held at Atlanta, October 10, 1G and
18th. The meeting was held at the
National Bank of the Republic.1t had
been called several weeks ago. None
of the committee supposed at that
time that anything would be pro-
posed, except details relating to the
order of proceedings.
There were present: William H.
Rawn, president of the National
Bank of the Republic, Philadelphia;
w. Il. Dixon, president of the Ma
tional Exchange bank, Baltimore;
William c.. Cornwell, president of
the City bank, Buffalo; j. Edward
Simmons, president of the Fourth
National, New York; j. j. Odell,
president of the Union National
bank, Chicago, and f. ii. Pullen,
vice-president of the National Bank
of the Republic, New York.
A suggestion that the American
bankers association should use its
active influence In favor of sound
money" was unanimously approved,
and the committee set aside the
routine work laid out for it and APP
piled itself to discussing the func-
tons that it might properly exercise
in adapting the convention pro-
gramme to practical purposes in this
connection.
The session of the committee was
executive, but it was learned that
each member signified his approval
of the plan to make the convention
in the highest degree useful to the
public as a guide and educator in
accordance with the adeice in the
Presidents litter.
1t seemed to the committee that
much good might be done under a
wisely developed plan especially
since the convention would be held
on the eve of the fall elections. Hav
ing devoted almost all of today's ses-
sion to the subject, the committee
will invite suggestions regarding it
from bankers, with the view of shap-
ing a plan for action at another
meeticr.

Mr.. Cleveland suggests that the people are
in an unfortunate condition. Certainly they
are, and this condition was predicted TO
happen rs result Of his unrelenting war
on silver rs money. .
His insinuations that the advocates Of sill

environments are such as to prevent them
from seeing and knowing the utter poverty
and distress that is prevailing among the
masses of the people, but those who i've IN

such insinuations. We believe the restora-

will deter us from our purpose.
And so the great fight is on. In

The frequency of questions of

with success. 1t is remarkable how

widely two may differ, how ignorant
