Mate prices. 1t may operate by con-
trolling laws. In its last analysis the
evil Of the gold standard is the evil OF
monopoly, because it enables the imam
cial magnates to fix the standard ana
then to corner the money market ao
they have done. Monopoly and unjust
taxation are often combined, as In a
protective tariff.
The candidacy of Mckinley is sup
ported by monopolists. The tarin
barons who made millions from monop-
olies gained through unjust taxation
and the financial magnates who made
millions by cornering gold and selling
it to the government are combining
the power Of their wealth and influence
to elect him. All the interests that plum
der the producing toilers by the reduc-
ton Of wages, the increase Of prices by
trusts, the manipulation of corporations
and the juggling of the money market
are combined in his support.
On the other side is Bryan, whose
candidacy is a protest against ever!
form of monopoly and who must lool
for support only from the toilers.
Can there be any question as to tn
candidate whose success will represen
tho welfare Of the people?
