or creditor nations, leaving US in the mass
and as individuals, prey to the money
gathering and the deadly cheapening Of
the old world. AS the debt to creditors
abroad increases on the masses Of the
nation the price of human production on
the farm and in the workshop is decreased
with appalling rapidity, exacting more
and more toll from our citizens to meet
the given demand and holding over their
heads threat of the day when conisca>
ton to meet their obligations will leave
them bare and defenseless The only rem
edy is to stop falling prices-the deadliest
curse Of national life. Prices never will
cease falling under the single gold stand
ard.
The restoration of bimetallism by this
country will double the basis of our money
system. In time it will double the stock
of primary money of the world will stop
falling prices and steadily elevate them
until they will regain their normal rela-
ton to the volume Of debts and credits in
the world. B:netallfsm will help to bring
about the advancement of the race who
realizes that the insta bility of prices has
been the deadly foe Of our toilers and the
servant of the foreign interest gatherer.
Bimetallism will help to bring the time
when certain expenditure of human toll
will produce a certain financial result
Who among the great masses of our peo-
pie in the United tSates but feels that his
lot would be better, his aspirat ton take
new wings, if he could know in the per-
Torrance of his labor would be the price
of his product?
Is not this purpose worth the attention
of the people as individuals and worth
the attention of political conventions yet
to be held? Is not this SO great an end
that all who believe in the probability
Of attaining it by the means proposed can
yield something of their partisanship both
| in conventions and at the polls? 1t is in the
| hope that the masses and the remaining
| conventions will have the courage and
| the generosity to unite for this purpose
| that we have dared to offer our views to
| the people of the United States; and be-
! cause in the past there has lacked a rally
| ing point for the masses who hold as we do
this belief, we venture an act trusting that
! 1t will be received in the same spirit of
| Cancellation, concession and hope with
| which we put it forth.
| We have endeavored in a plain way to
set the matter before the eyes of our fell
| low citizens. We invoke the union of all
| men and all parties who believe that the
| time has come for the triumph of justice
| It is an hour when the people may speak
for themselves as individuals and through
| conventions yet to be held. 1t is the right
| Of every citizen to indicate his preference
| With this in view we offer to the forth
coming conventions and to the people the
name of man for the presidency of the
United States whose life in public and
private represents those distinguished
| virtues which adorned the DAYS and the
deeds Of the earlier time of this republic;
return to which virtues is requisite for
the prosperity and contentment of the
| people and the perpetuity and command
Ing example OF free institutions.
That name is Henry M. Teller, a man
Of the people and for the people, He is
|
his devotion to the common justice and the
common cause of his fellow citizens, has
been as wide as the country. We believe
the people have him in their hearts, as he
has had their interests in his purpose
through all the work Of an exalted life.
It is not merely as the exponent of mon
etary reform that we present this man
to the people. 1t is true that he has waged
mighty war for the restoration Of the
money of the constitution and his name
has been identified as that of no other
living man with this great cause. But
had his services been less demanded anG
less noticed in this direction the people
would still have recognized in him fol
other labors a statesman Of the pures
type. His only poverty has been that OF
purse; In all things else, in the generosities
OF man to man, in kindness Of deeds fo
his fellows, and in the study and tn,
do1ngs of mighty career, he has beer
one of the most opulent American citizen:
of any age.
In submitting this name to the peopl,
we remind them that just generation
ago from the heart of the boundless Yves
and touched by the finger of God there
arose an emancipation who was powerful
in the work Of human deliverance BY hi
wisdom and courage, providentially di
rected, millions were set free and the ma
tion kept in it's holy union. If others shall
. see this opportunity see it; if ou
fellow-citizens shall see this duty as W.
see it; if our fellow citizens shall see thi
duty as we see 1t, that sublime histor.
may be repeated and another man-cloth
,, ed in the majority of devotion to the rae
will be lifted to power where by his wis
. dom and courage, providentially directed
more millions may be made free from
chains as CALLING as those of actual SLAYER.
: and the nation may be preserved in tn
unity Of it's mission to the world.
