AN ADDRESS TO SOLDIERS.

Bryan Free Silver Club, an orgSniza-
ton with 300 members, has issued the
following address:
To the er-Soldiers Of Kansas and Com.
rGdeS E0eTyoOhere::
The outcome of slavery was an dig
srchy that consisted Of the gentleman
and his slave. There was no bold
pesssntry, no grest middle class, with.
out which there can be no Democracy,
The white newer of wood, the white
drawer of water, was In this paradise
Of slavery mud sill, and until the war
accomplished the extinction of slavery
there was not a school house In the
whole territory dominated by this ariS-
tocrscy In which the poor white could
learn his letters.
If the government ever gets under
the control Of few, it will repeat the
story Of this master and his man. If,
by an unfortunate drift of events, the
financial nabobs shall obtain specially
favored standing in our Legislatures
and with our courts, an enlightened
sel6shness suggests that they would
protect themselves and not others. If
the wealth of the country is concen.
trated In the hands Of few, the CO.
hesive power of united millions will
not be exerted for the good of the great
people. If the money power is exer-
cised and possessed by few, that few
can speak with the force of projectile
as to anything that may concern their
own interests. 1t is for the soldier to
ponder over what he fought for, what
he obtained for others, and what he has
secured for himself. 1t is for him to
consider the trend of things, for better
or for worse, and where it will land him
and his children.
There Is an sristocrscy of wealth in
this country that psles the Intellectual
fire of Solomon and all his glory by it's
gsud. 1t fills the daily paper with sen.
suous luxury of the Occident that an
Eastern satrsp with millions of sub
jects might dream Of, might command,
but could never realize. Aladdin Is no
fable, but the time and country were
neither the centuries before the Chris.
tisn era, nor Bagdsd.
In land of great riches, there must
be great poverty, A happy, prosperous
people, great intelligent community
of common people, is impossible be-
tween these two extremes, as it ia
only by the absolute destruction Of this
middle class that the multiplied mil.
lionsire and the multiplying mPndicsnt
are possible. The eye must close or In
tentiOnslly be sverted not to see this.
The soldier has his pension and his
discharge. They are his patrimony;
his share of the thousands of billions
Of which the wealth of this country
consists. He rides in no specials. His
feet dsngle under no mahogany. His
daughters have no lingerie from Worth,
nor, when they marry, does the yacht
and special train both wait to take
them on their journey. Nor does he
spend $500 as their fare over the ferry.
He has no yachts, no palaces, no OK.

The money drifts steadily in their
direction and ''ne'er feels retiring ebb."
There has been q conspiracy to that
end. When silver was at a premium
over gold, when 1t was serving better
than gold It's function of money, it was
debased. Who did It? Why was 1t
doneP There lives no human being
who can answer, other than that IL was
the first step to contract the volume of
money to be followed by other contrac-
tions, until gold should be absolute. It
took the people years to get this infsmy
through their heads. 1t was the pro-
logue to the play now on the boards.
If the owners of gold can dwindle the
money into their hands, they have the
earth, its fullness, its fstness in their
grip. They can dictate, not only
prices, but terms of existence. They
can destroy commerce, PROSTATE busl-
ness and imperil the very flag for which
you fought. The Republican party had |
been by tradition, the intimate and
familiar friend Of silver. 1t was a great
American product, to be protected as
much as any other American industry.
Suddenly at st. Louis these traditions
were forgotten. The polar star no
longer navigated the ship. 1t was there
declared tor the first time that silver
must wait on an international agree
ment, legerdemsin of rhetoric, which
means, never. England must be frat
consulted, and give 10 her adhesion to
it. That country breeds only paupers
and princes. Blaine has characterized
the population of that country as dom.
