Teller as its leader.
The address, in part, is as follows:
Expressly disclaiming any purpose
or right to bind any party or person by
the views here set forth, we but yield to
an overPowering sense Of duty in say
ing what we do to members of the poo
pies party and to all other good citizens
who, experimenting the approach of a
momentous crisis in our country's life,
are willing to avert 1t by acts of exalted
patriotism,
ave came to st. Louis as citizens,
members of the peoples party, to be
present at the meeting of the national
republican convention that we might
determins more definitely for ourselves
the true aim of that organization in the
present struggle. ...
1--WE have seen the boss in politics
more securely enthroned, more servilely
obeyed and more dictatorial as to can
didates and policy than has ever been
witnessed in the field of national poll
tics,
Zone man, the perfect of his type,
representing the milionaires, the banks,
the corporations, the trusts and every
other remorseless and plutocratic ele-
ment in our country's life, has, through
the power Of money, dictated the nom
ination of Mr.. Mckinley, and shaped
the platform of his party.
"This convention, slavishly respond
ing to the will of the money power, has
forced an issue which must be met.
at is challenge to the yeomen Of
the land. If 1t is declined, or If 1t shall
succeed, the letters of tyranny more
grinding than that of the czars and en-
perors will be riveted upon the plain
people Of the country, letters which
must be indefinitely worn with the con.
temptible spirit inseParable from willing
serfs, or in the end broken with the ir-
resistible power of mighty revolution.
"That issue is formulated In the de-
mand that the existing gold standard
must be preserved and for The enact
ment of all measures designed 10 main
tain inviolably the obligations Of the
United States and all our money
either coin or paper-at the present
standard.
"This means that silver shall be per-
manently degraded into mere money of
change, and that It be deprived Of its
legal tender quality except for some
paltry sum.
"That the national banks shall be
swollen into a power of triple their
, present ability to contract the volu ne
of money, to absorb the earnings of in
4 dustry and to grip the throat of all In
dusirial and commercial life, while from
