American People.
AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM
Campaign of Education IDaugurated by

" timetable League.

Memphis. Tenn, May eG.-The follow
ing address to the public, issued by the
Central Bimetallic League at Memphis,
explains itself to the people of the
United States:
THE arch enemies of the agricultural
and producing classes of our country,
moved by greed. have conspired to
transfer the essentially governmental
function of controlling the money vol
ume of the nation to the banking cor
porations. The system is full of the
vice of class legislation. and void of
any virtue which commends II to the
consideration of the patriotic citizen.
"Undaunted by their failure TO Sc
cure the sanction of the American con
gress. promoters of the scheme have
boldly taken the initiatoTy step to attain
the object of their conspiracy. Backed
by the great power Of exhaustless
wealth and the influence of high official
position. they have publicly convened in
the city of Memphis and openly de-
clared their purpose. They demand that
the constitutional and Inherently SOW
ereign right to issue money be delivered
into their hands. They hesitate at no
deception. They stop at nothing. Know
