to hide their nefarious purposes.
When they attempt to curse the
people with a dishonest dollar,
they try to hide their real pur-
pose by calling it an honest dol
lar; when they attempt to stab
American honor, liberty and
prosperity by turning over the
management of our affairs to for
eign syndicates, they attempt to
hide their real purpose by claim
ing to stand for the National
honor. They are striving in
this campaign to have the Amer
lean people say they cannot have
a financial system such as they |
want without the consent and
permission of foreign nations,
and yet Mark Hanna and Nc
Kinley try to hide such betrayal
of American interests by calling
upon those whose assistance they
hope to get in such an undertake
ing to wave the National flag
and claim that they are trying
to protect the honor and suprem-
acy of this flag. 1t would be a
more fitting emblem of the policy
of the gold conspirators, and
would be far more appropriate
for Hanna to call upon Mckinley
supporters to float from their
windows the English flag, which
he and his British allies would
have to triumph over the Ameri-
can flag, that emblem of our Ma
tional honor which he is now
trying to use to deceive Ameri-
cans into voting for British rule.
1t is another case of the Devil
quoting Scripture.
Letters have been received at
; Peoples party headquarters here
from Hon. Ignatius Donnelly and
Col. S. F. Norton, in which they
express themselves very strong
: ly and emphatically for Bryan,
and declare that it is the duty of
every Populist and patriot to put
> aside every partisan feeling or
prejudice, and rise to the supreme
duty of the hour, the election OF
William J. Bryan for President.
The Importance of these letters,
which will be made public, is
very great, in consideration Of
: the fact that Col. Norton was the
i selection Of the Middle-of the
Road Populists at St. Louis fol
d their candidate for President
J In the event a Middle-o the
81 Road ticket had been nominated
y it is said that that ticket would
