the democrats, populsts. free silverites
and all other types OF the political hobo
are doing what they can to thwart her
efforts, she will help to pull the country
through"
"Men of the Altgeld Bryan John
Most stripe are trying to persuade vot-
ers that currency of fifty cent dollars,
while it might lessen the income of
gold bug millionaires' and Wall street
sharks would greatly benefit farmers,
wage -earners and the common people
generally"
There is not ranting fanatic in the
country, nor a mad breaker of all laws,
human and divine, who is not today
willing to vote for Bryan, How does all
this come to pass? Is it because these
people know nothing about him? He
has spent some years as the agent, it
may be charitaby assumed as the sal
aried agent, of the silver milionaires in
stumping western and southern states
and the crazest cranks in all that region
are for Bryan"
The poparchlsts have stolen demo
cratic convention from the democrats,
and a populist convention from the pop.
ulists, and with silver mines for cam

lhe men who believe in fat paper were
| cheated, and the democrats who believe
in gold. BY using the lawless spirit of
western states as tool, the silver men
snatched control OF the democratic con
vention, and by using the bogus dele
gates from gold states, and democratic
states and states owned by the silver
millionaires, they have bagged the popu-
list convention even more easily. The
obstacle in the path the only obstacle,
the sufficient obstacle, is the republican
party"
We give place to the foregoing merely
as an "object lesson" to show our read
ers what sort of arguments are used
by the leading republican papers to sus-
tain the gold standard.
Surprise is expressed by good many
people at the wonderful growth which
free silver sentiments are making in New
York and New Eagland. In this con,
nectiDn it must bo remembered that
millions of copies of free silver docu
ments are being printed and distributed
broadcast in the eastern states, and that
these documents deal with plain solid
arguments in support of the silver
cause, and are freighted with facts ano
figures which cannot be gansaid, show
ing the benefits which must inevitably
accrue to the masses OF the American
people through the free coinage of sill
yer. Now when it is remembered that
the plain facts and convincing argu
ments of the silver people, which ap
peal to the reason and convince the
judgment of the voters, are replied to b,
the biggest and ablest of the gold stand
ard organs only with such stuff as W,
have copied from the Tribune, it vii
readily be seen why the cause is grow
ing and will continue to grow.
