Let the lesson of history, tee recent
ana too plain TO be gaiIrsatd or defiied, be
needed, and let there be no fear that a
system that so wonderfully protected
labor, developed business enterprise and
secured to the nation conteBted and
prosperous people In the past. will do
augnt but bring to us a return VI Ike
prosperity, the predictions of disaster of
our opponents to tine contrary notwith-
standing. In Mr. Bryan the Chicago con

gentleman Of exceptional ability and OF
high cha racter.
No man OF his age was better known

way questioned his integrity or moral
worth. His character is a lit example for

shown in all his public utterances that he

that he sympatEizeS with them In their

and that h .ain would return to the use Of
both gold and silver as they were used
prior TO 1878, and lie has proposed such
change OF lbe iinanciai system by the
usual constitutional methods.
Such was the character and such the
political opinions Of the candidate known

American people.
This is a critical period in our national
| history. Our industrial and financial III
dependence of otLer nations and peoples Is
| involved In this campaign, and we Ilfmly
I believe that there will be no return Of pIos-
perity until We stall have changed our
| financial system SO as TO restore the b.
OF the republic: and so be lieving. We urge Ill
| friends of gold and silver as standard Money
! and the opponents Of Il single gold standa rd
| to give Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Sewall tEeir
| hearty support. In advising this course We
| do not consider il Necessary that they shall
abandon or surrender TIER political views
| on other questions.
Profoundly impressed with the importance
of the issues Of this campaign, for ourselves
and our associates, We respectfully submit
| the foregoing TO The candid consideration of
the American people.
