The White Slave, or "The Cross of
Gold"

Charles H. Kerr & Co.. Publishers, Sc
Fifth Avenue, Chicago.
This is story of the times by Helen l..
Sumner. The thread is a love story
on which is hung the privations, misery,
struggles, the ceaseless toll which beset
the mortgaged class of farmers who strive
in vain against the resistless and wither-
ing blight of low and ever falling prices.
The vain efforts to save the mortgaged
home, the victim in the end to sink be-
meath the pressure of the gold power
which has blasted so many thousands of
rural homes. when the struggle of the
wage slaves has worn them by inches, fol-
lowing them like a tireless hound through
famine, despair, insanity, suicide, till
death through these avenues ends the
fruitless efforts and suffering together.
The gold standard, with its remorseless
cruelty to the mortgaged slave, is new
field for the novelist's pen, but the pic
lures the writers draw and the scenes they
portray, are but long drawn out wall of
suffering. in which ray of hope is sell
dom shed. The horrors of the gold STAN
dard are ceaseless moan escaping from
the soul of humanity. The author of
THE White Slave" has drawn her little
story, though but creation of fancy, true
to life, the miserable, hapless life that
thousands of families are suffering.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1896-10-09

Mr.. Smith of the Philadelphia Press
told lis poor imbeciles last Wednesday
that we could have United States geo.
grapy, and several other U. S. things but
we couldn't have U. S. multiplication
table or U. S. algebra because that was
an extra science, and neither could we
have a United States financial system.
If not why not? Every other country
which is an independent nation has its
own financial system. Wonder if the U.
S. can have their own criminal laws, their
civil laws, their land laws independent of
other nations? If so they can have their
financial laws independent of all other
nations. We don't ask other nations to
take our silver dollars, but we have laws
to compel debtors to take them in pay
nent for obligations and we are not CON-
PEELED to pay the people of other nations
50 per cent exchange for goods on ac-
count of our silver money. If they don't
trade with us on an exchange at par we
can make our own goods and this is the
reason Mexico is rapidly building up
manufacturing establishments. We will
have an American financial policy in
dependent of all other nations and open
our minis to free coinage as part of that
financial policy, Mr.. Smith and the wise
Russia minister to the contrary notwith-
standing.

The Election of Bryan.

We believe that the election OF
Bryan and silver congress will
furnish immediate impulse to trade
even before his Inauguration.
Everybody will recognize the fact
that there is to be more money,
good times, good prices and rise
in property values, and all will
rush for chance to invest in pro-
perty so as to get. advantage of the
increase, and when everybody goes
to investing, money will circulate
and times will be perceptibly better
within thirty days after the election.
Farmers Tribune.
This is a logical fact which must
occur. "Confdence' will be re-
stored as soon as business starts
with money behind it. And this
is the only way confidence, which
the goldbugs pirate about so much,
can be restored. Silver will rise to
ST. 90 an ounce before Christmas
and wheat will rise with it. And
there will be no panic. The banks
will see that such step would
turn the whole country against
them. The election of Bryan means
prosperity and the election of Nc
Kinley four more years OF hare
times.

Campaign literature for free
distribution at the MIDLAND
JOURNAL office.

The fore and aft raking Mr..
Whitehead gave the goldbugs'
cause and the Rising Sun goldbugs
in particular sticks in their crops.
They charge he is paid a fixed
salary by the silver syndicate and
is paid handsomely otherwise.
There is no silver syndicate to pay
salaries to speakers. The populists
pay the expense of their speakers
and that is about all. They have
no Mark Hanna fund, amounting
to millions, provided by the gold
trust of England and America to
pour out money like water to pay
speakers and get up great display
meetings, which they calculate in
getting back with compound in
terest out of the people if they can
buy Mckinley through, but they'll
miss it. It's the "lost cause" of
'96.

SubIimely Ridiculous.

Gree silver is fraud on the body.
politic-a passing craze like Coxey's
Army and will die in the last ditch OH
Nov. grid forever. Its shadow has even
paralyzed every business in the land, its
reality will ruin our country and her peo-
pie and benefit only silver mine owners.
The people are crying out in lament now
for prosperity and better times. Party
sinks before duty This is campaign OF
thought and education. The people want
argument and proof
The above was copied from the flaming
parti colored posters which announced
the great campaign humbug mass meet
ing arranged for last Wednesday by the
goldbug banker club of Rising Sun. 1t
were impossible in this campaign of gold
bug clap trap and huinbug to find any
thing more ridiculous than this tumble of
cant and senseless phrases. We copy it
here to preserve it as one ofthe curiosities
of this banker, trust monopoly campaign.
The last line is truly the 'hod shief" of
this political "Dunciad.
"The people want argument and proof"
That is true, and that is what the silver
men have piled up before the astounded
and COMPOUNDED goldbugs till they flee
from it and have started out on grand
spectacular, marching and shouting and
singing campaign. They brought Marine
here and he made hardened political sim
ners blush who had never blushed before
by his blind, ridiculous rant. They
brought Reynolds and Gather to give the
'people argument and truth" but they
had neither for 1.-The people," and the
silver men laughed at the spread eagle,
cheap campaign rot they dealt out. No
facts, no arguments, no remedy offered
for hard times, or recipe for prosperity
and better times" In despair the Rising
Sun bugs rent their garments, beat their
breasts and retired to their dens TO con-
suit. Then they determined to abandon
their campaign of thought and educa-
tion," and go back to the marching boy
club, the transparency, the torch light
and song singing, the mass meeting and
the hurrah. 1t is no use, our kid glove
friends, you can't fool the people this
time with noise and circus parade. They
want argument and proof" and you
have neither to give. "Some of the peo-
pie you can fool all the time" as Lincoln
said, and these can be pointed out in your
ranks. Some can be bought by Mark
Hanna's money. They are easily pointed
out also. But the people that cannot be
fooled all the time stand by and smile
as the old humbug farce is acting. and ask
what argument is in all this? Wherein is
this a campaign of education? Where
are the facts" you promised us? Why
don't you point out the fraud in free
silver? When you attempt it you give US
muddle of nonsense in place of argr-
ment or facts. How can free coinage of
silver shut out and "paralyze every bus
mess in the land" where the goldbug
standard is in full swing' "The people
are crying out in lament for prosperity"
Why doesn't the gold standard give them
what they cry for? 1t is now in full swing
The people listen for answer to these ques-
tions. You offer them songs, marching,
torch light, hurrah and loud boasting
The most appropriate motto of all was left
| off of the transparencies, Ichabod!"
