+ The Populists and Democrats declare for BIZ
metallism and would bring about measures
that surely would draw us to cheap monomet-
allism, the most important metal being driven
away. They declare for and promise a system
that would assist wage-earners. poor men,
farmers and debtor classes, while such system
could not with any certainty give one days
work to any person now unemployed, and
would surely drive out of employment many
who are now In employment. and necessitate
the cutting down Of wages and the purchasing
power of the wages of those who could find
employment.
They declare for and promise scheme that
they say would help the farmer, but 1t would
deprive him of and limit his home market,
deprive him of his best consumers and de-
prive his purchaser of proper capital to handle
his products, drive people in other employ
ment to seek the farm for a livelihood. and
hence increase production and decrease prices
and compel him to sell for deprecated money.
They declare for and promise a system that
would benefit the debtor class but they ad-
NIT the Just result of their plan would throw
people out OF employment, lessen wages and
purchasing power OF wages, ruin credit and
confidence and so destroy opportunity for
business, compel creditors to press to get even
q portion of their dues, plunging business
men into dire distresses.
They declare for American independence.
and advocate system that would tarnish ma
tional honor and violate national pledges,
