From Cincinnati Post.
L supported the Ct. o. p. from
Fremont to Harrison without the
slip of a cog, and now I bolt be-
cause read this in one of Chan
cey Depew's interviews in the Inter
Ocean:
"There are fifty menin New York
who can in "a hours stop every
wheel on our railroads, close every
door of all our manufactures, look
every switch of all the telegraph
lines and shut down every coal and
iron mine in the United States.
They can do SO because they con-
troll the money which this conn
try produces"
Remembering that President
Garfield had once said "Whoeyer
controls country's money con
trolls all it's commerce and indus
tries" and seeing all the great cap
italists and bankers and monopo-
lists-the Pullmans, the Carnegies
and Fisks who, after bribing Con
gress to give them the very high
est tariff protection ever known in
the world, reduce the already too
low wages of their workingmen to
about starvation point, were
all shouting for mckinley and
projections" 1 resolved to vote
against giving more power to my
enemies and to vote for the poor
man and let some of this property
reach the people rather than all of
it go to the already too rich of our
country. JEROME ID, Dow.
1 asserted that without the aid
of the money-owning classes the
gold standard would not stand for
one day in any nation under the
sun. assert that behind the gold
standard in this country the only
potent force consists of those who
hold fixed investments, and those
who, as brokers, profit the greater
by greater bond issues. They tell
the laboring mon of this nation
that they ought to support a gold
standard. The laboring men have
never found the financiers of this
nation the men who have exerted
themselves to improve the condi-
ton of the laboring man. AS a
rule the mon who have opposed
labor organizations only pro-
lection that laboring man has
had-these are the men who now
come to the help of the laboring
man. L ask you if you ought to
expect blessings of those from
whom you have only received ours
ings in the past.-Bryan at Albany.
When you make up your mind
that the gold standard is a bad
thing, then the only question you
have to consider is how you can
get rid of it. They can raise OBJ
jections to the plan we propose,
saying that if coinage makes a
silver dollar equal to gold dollar,
then it will be just as hard to get
a silver dollar as it is to get a gold
dollar. Do you know what they
overlook? They overlook the fact
that when we bring silver into
competition with gold we increase
the supply of standard moneys;
that while the silver dollar will be
worth as much as the gold dollar,
it will be easier to obtain with the
products of toll, a silver dollar
or gold dollar than it is today"
William j. Bryan.
Col. VIM. r Morrison, the we'll
known Democrat and Chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, says: 81 shall vote for Bry-
an and Sewall, there need be no
doubt on that point. There never
was from the first. lam not much
of bolter by nature. voted for
Cleveland in 1892, 1 could not
think of doing less by the present
ticket. The men are Democrats;
the platform they stand on is the
work of Democratic convention,
regularly in council; no good Dem
ocrat can rightfully decline to sup
port either. shall give both tick
ct and platform my support"
Twenty years ago farmers paid 3
cents mile for riding on rail
road and they got n dollar and
more bushel for their wheat.
Now the farmer gets so cents a
bushel for his wheat and still pays
cents mile for riding on rail
road.
Now that the farmer wants to
better his condition by having moro
money floating the railroads sayno
to it, and try to force their en-
ployes to vote more poverty and
