1'y thi> IdhESuleaf we can unite Q large majority of the voters of America on cur Joint electoral ticket. There fore, the only hope of the money power and trusts is to divide and conquer. The Republican managers and their gold Democratic allies realize this and are putting forth every effort to accomplish this end, They have had their emis- sarles on hand everywhere trying to prevent joint electoral tickets from be- ing arranged. Failing in this they try to find Populists and silver Democrats who can be induced on one pretext or another to rebel against the joint elee- toral tickets. They either secured or will secure the services of every man that money can command to breed dis senslons and divisions. The danger lies in the possibility of q certain portion of the rank and file of the Peoples party being misled by socalled leaders. who. for reasons best known to themselves or for want of reas Il, are advising voters to rebel against the joint electoral tick cts and put up separate electoral tickets or to withhold their support from the joint eleeto~al tickets
 Some of ne Democrats of the reve- nue st4ipe, who are not yet weaned from the aeshpo 8 of Egypt, but are sticklers for regularity and are nominally sup. porting hr Bryan wLile secretly ar d i'll every anderhanded way are trying to accomplish his defeat, are advising against the joint electoral tickets, and failing i'll this, then advising Democrats to scratch the Peoples. party electors. and already a few socailed Populist leaders are advising the rank and file of our party 10 strike back by refusing to support the Democratic electors on the joint electoral tickets. This is trap set hy the goldbugs, who are rejoicing that few honest men have fallen into it. These Republicans today are the only ones Who buoy up the hope of the Republican managers, and Democrats ard Pc nlists who are thus engaged are doing just what the gold men desire. Therefore, we appeal to every Populist who may have been misled by such mis- taken. or false pleas of intended loyalty to the Peoples party into refusing sup port to such joint electoral tickets, to stop and consider the results of such conduct and refuse to be influenced by either misguided or corrupt men.
 There are but two sides i'll the conflict that is being waged in this country to. day. On the one side are the allied hosts of mono olies, the meney power, great trusts and railway corporations who seek the enactment of laws to bene- fit them and impoverish the people. On the other side are the farmers, laborers, merchants and all others who produce wealth and bear the burden of taxation The one represents the wealthy and powerful classes who want the control of the government to plunder the peo- ple The other represents the people contending for equality before the law
 
 two there is no middle ground The one and only hope of the Republican party to win in this campaign and fast ell the gold standard upon the country is the corrupt use of an unlimited SUD- ply of money for bribery, corruption and intimidation. The patriotic action of the Peoples party i'll forming and supporting these joint electoral tickets has shattered that hope. Already they are alarmed at the impotency of al baodle campaign when all of the great moral forces of the people are solidly united ill defense of American institu. tions. The revulsion of American peo- ple against this poodle campaign during the last 10 days has so united them that victory is now assured.
 Tile Peoples party made this revolu- ton possible. Let everyone do his duty and fail not. Let our boast be that we are American citizens and that Ameri- can citizens are more than partisans This done, the cohorts of domestic and
 
 foreign greed will be driven from our legislative councils and the domination Of American institutions. This done and the betrayed republic will be re- deemed and American prosperity re- stored. The men and the party that achieve such grand and patriotic results i'll this crisis will be the men and the party of the future. It has been left for the Peoples party and silver Repub- hcans tomake party sacrifice and do the patriotic work necessary to accomplish this result. The Peoples party must do it for no other party will the Peoples party will do it. Therefore, the Peo- ple's party will be the party of the future. The American people will rec. ognize it as the agency that saved the
