with the wind, and the Democrats who
were stranded by the violence Of the
storm were swept back into the arms
of the Republicans of the two houses.
Together they made majority to do
the bidding of the money powers and
to wipe from the statute books every
law which recognized silver as a money
metal.
The people have at last taken this
matter into their hands. Twenty years
of BETRAYAL have taught them that
eQuivocal platforms and good-Lord-
good-Devil politicians mean gold monop
oily. They now know that those who
say they are friendly TO silver but want
it accomplished without doing il them
selves are enemies and cannot be trust
ed. No man is bimetallist who does
not advocate bimetallism as it existed
for thousands of years before Sherman
visited England in 1867 and before he
carried out the purposes of an English
syndicate to strike down silver in 1873
Conventions and the party lash have
thwarted the will of the people for
twenty years Public plumber, a venal
press and ten thousand banks have
dominated the conventions of all parties

TO do the will of the gold combination
has been easily secured in the conven-
tons of both parties, and a multiplied
~ of issues bars the success of the Pop
ulsts. What are party names without
party principles? What is the Demo-
cratic party when il repudiateS Jeffer-
son and Jackson and follows John Sher-
man? The Democratic masses are in
favor of restoring the money of the con-
stitution. They are speaking out in
every state and their voice is heard
with dread by the enemies of the repub-
lie. A very large percentage of the
Republican masses are equally true to
the principles Of free government with
the Democratic masses. but the Repub-
lican leaders who worship at the shrine
of gold monopoly are moe numerous
and powerful than Democratic leaders
who work with them TO maintain the
gold standard. There are more Harri-
sons than Clevelands and more Sher-
mans than Carlisles,
The Democracy of Illinois has broken
the ice. The rank and file of the Re
publican party south and west are sui
len and angry, but the manipulatorS
are still in control. The Republican
convention of Kentucky renewed the al
legiance of the party of that state to
the alien gold syndicate, but the ties
Of party are not strong enough to hold
the Republicans of the great northwest
in line. The south and west and the
producing classes of all sections have
common interest in restoring the mon
ey of the constitution and regaining
control Of the government of the United
States; but an alien gold trust is in
trenched in the SanctuES Of the press,
in the counsel chambers of the banks,
in the two houses of congress and in
the executive mansion. The people in
every section are uniting to strike for
liberty and recover their lost govern
ment.
The American people have been be-
trayed with a kiss for the last time.
They now know that every man who
qualities his determination 70 fight for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at a ratio of is to 1. by the United
States alone is an enemy of the cause.
All We demand is the IS to 1statute of
1884 and 1887. There Were no ifs and

are none about the creed of true BIZ

age at is to / by the United States
alone comprise t!ree-fourths of the vot
ers of the country. The only hope for
gold monopoly is to divide and conquer.
They have played that game for the
last time. The hearts OF the people are
in a common sense produced by COM
mon calamity. Whatever politicians
and time-serVers may do, the south
and west and all lovers of free institu-
lions everywhere will come together and
rescue this government from the rule
of the gold kings.
The policy of the enemy to impover-
lsh the masses is now well understood
1t is well known that the opportuni-
ties create independence and manhood;
that want Of opportunities create pow

Thanks to Mr.. Cleveland the purposes
Of the enemy are disclosed. If the peo-

lose their liberty they will have been
warned in time. The gold standard.

as the policy Of Sherman, Harrison and
the great mass of the Republicans as

difference is, that Cleveland proclaims
openly what the hypocrites do secretly.
MONEY AND ALLEN APPEAR.
When Senator Stewart had finished
his speech loud cries were made for
Congressman Money, one of the sill
Yer leaders of Mississippi. He ad-
Vanced to the front of the stage and
prefaced his remarks by saying:
Il am here silver man from head to
foot and Democrat all over
Mr.. Money was suffering from sore
throat and spoke but a few moments,
depreciating any attempt to SETTLE the
silver question outside the Democratic
party.
