The party estimates its strength to be
the same as when it polied 10 900 votes for
General John B dwell for President in 1892.
and when it cast 10000 for Henry French
for Governor in 1894.
1t is predicted that there will be a fight
at the convention on the monetary issue.
Ex-Governor st. John has some ardent
followers in the prohibition ranks in Cali
forpia, and these recent unofficial utter
ances of his are likely to prove bone of
contention:
In reply TO your letter of recent date, have
the honor 10 state that, in my Judgment, free
and unlimited coinage OF gold and silver at a
ratio OF 16 10 l, will be the dominant issue in
the campaign of 1896. In using the word
dominant" / do not intend thereby to even
intimate that IL will necessarily be the most
important issue, for it is not the importance OF
AN issue that makes ii dominant, but rather
the numbers who rally TO its support
The present outlook indicates that the oues-
ton OF free coinage will attract the attention
OF more voters than any other one, or in fact
may say. more than any half-dozen issues be-
fore the people. Our present financial system
which the Shermans and Clevelands have tried
to make us believe is the ''best the world has
ever known" proves at last to be the most
gigantic and infamous scheme to plunder the
people that ever cursed this or any other coun-
try on earth. 1t has multiplied millionaires
filed the land with tramps. plastered the
homes OF the people with mortgages and
robbed them of the ability to paw their debts.
The way out? Well, there is but one yyav
out, and that is ior voters who love humanity
better than party TO get together, and do it
right away, TOO. Upon what basis should a
union of reformers be brought about? / would
suggest the following:
:. Free and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver, at a ratio of I6 TO l. without asking
the ADVICE or consent of any other nation on
earth.
2. All money. to be issued directly by the
General Government, and no one dollar to be
any better, before the law. than any other dol
lar so issued, and all to be full legal tender
Tor all purposes within our own country
g. All bonds and other obligations payable
