GAMBLERS ALLEGED.
Purposes For Which it Has Been
Entered Into According TO the
POpuIi5tic Belief.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE Populist
members OF the Senate and House
whose names are attached, besides the
others whose signatures are given.
have issued the following address:
TO the Member Of the Peoples Party:
Greetings early as 1665-66, a
conspiracy was entered into between
the gold gamblers Of Europe and
America to accomplish the following
purposes:
TO faSten upon the people Of the
United States the burdens Of perpetual
debt, to destroy the greenbachs Which
brought US safely through the pertls
of war: to strike down silver as q
money metal and to deny the people
the use of federal paper-the two indie
pendent sources of money supply guar
anteed by the constitution; 20 fasten
upon the country the single gold
standard of Great Britain, and to dele
I gate to thousands of banking corpora
tons organized for private gain the
| sovereign control for all time over the
issue and volume Of all supplemental
paper currency Thus they doubled
the demands for gold, forced upon the
country an approaching money stand
ara. entafing an indefinite period Of
I falling prices robbed enterprise of its
just profits: condemned labor to idle
ness and C0nfscated the property Of
debtors.
| For nearly thirty years, these con-
! SpiratorS have kept the president
quarrelling over less important mat
ters While they have pursued with I'M
relenting zeal their own central pur-
pose. At the present moment, every
device Of treachery. every resource Of
state craft and every artifce known to
the secret cabalg OF the international
gold ring are being made use Of TO
deal a final death blow to the pros
pertty of the country. They seek to
accomplish their purpose before the
blow can be averted through the bal
| lot. Their plans have been long ma
tured. and their line is fully
chosen. They address themselves to
| the ono subject-the money question
! in all of its breadth and magnitude.
! This brings the country face to face
with perilous issue, which calls for
( immediate and united action on the
/ part of the people. Every behest of
/ patriotism requires that we shall at
| once meet the issue and accept the
/ challenge SO definitely offered.
E'To falter now is to invite disastrous
/ failure We earnestly urge the Popu-
! lists throughout the country to concen-
trate their entire force and energy
upon the tremendous contention pre-
scented and thus meet the enemy upon
his chosen line Of battle. Invite the
( aid and cooperation OF all persons who
favor the Immediate free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to I, the issue
{ of all paper money by the general gov
eminent without the intervention of
banks Of issue, and who are opposed to
( the issue Of Understanding govern
ment bonds in time of peace. In a
word. to extend the hand Of fellowship
( to ali who agree with you upon the
money question, which is certainly the
mightiest and most fundamental con-
/ troVersy involved during the present
century. (Signed.)
