FIGHTING WITH MONEY.

The great political battle of the year
and the controlling one-will be fought
on the Bird day of November when the peo-
pie vote. 1t is of the highest importance
to our cause that the tactics of the enemy
should be understood, and that their re-
sources should not be moderated. The
men who would profit by gold standard
are few in number as compared with the
whole. There are few hundred men to
whom it would give advantages too great
to be estimated. At the head of these few
hundred is j. Pierrepont Morgan The
men he represents carry with them all who
can be deceived, and all who can be CO.

gan, as European Governments obey the
Rothschilds, because they cannot borrow
money if Mr.. Morgan frowns. He is the
gold king of this country. He has recent

litical party for his own private use, and
he has enlisted as his chief political swash-
buckler, Mark Hanna, of Ohio. BY the
aid of the venal press and number of
cheap writers and orators. large masses Of
the Republican party are induced to fol
low the Republican party, just as they did
before it became the mere instrument
of Mr.. Morgan. With Mr.. Morgan as the
boss political banker, and with Mr.. Mark
Hanna as the boss party manager, it be-
comes simple question of art hmetic with
both of them as to how much money will
be needed to carry the election by the buy
ing of votes in blocks The boast that
money will elect Mckinley is being made
as insolently and as openly as was the
boast, just before the Chicago Convention,
that free coinage would be beaten bv the
use of money in that body. The Engmi-e,

Thesame was donethroughoutt the west and
south by the journals friendly to the cause.
The result was that the people were put
on their guard and made more careful in
the selection of county delegates County
conventions were made more careful in
the selection of state delegates, and the
State Convention trusted only the truest
and the stanchest of silver men to be sent
as delegates to the Chicago Convention.
The result was that that convention was
bribery proof. There were no men there
for sale. The agents of Wall street raved
and made a great noise. They became
very angry and gave vent to very passion
ate language. Every effort was made to
bulldoZe the convention into submission
But the Wall street agents were laughed
at and sent home unsatistied

peoples cause to warn them against the
attempt that will be made to carry the |
election by the use of money, especially in |
the large cities. 1t is a States Prison Of

characters in their several localities, and |
secure evidence of any attempts at bribery.
Arrangements for the use of money have

friends of an honest ballot are as alert and
