prize as the richest reward which this campaign mas
brought.
WANTS TO FIGHT OVER AGAIN.
In the face Of an enemy rejoicing In its victory.
let the roll be called for the next engagement ana
urge all friends OF bimetalism to renew their ALE
glance to the cause. II are right. as believe
we are We shall yet triumph Until convinced OF
his error let each advocate Of bknetallism con-
tnue the work Let all silver clubs retain their or
ganization hold regular meetings and circulate
literature. Our opponents have succeeded IN tnis
campaign and must now put their theories 70 tne
test Instead OF talking mysteriousy about SOUND
money" and IAN honest dollar" they must now
step taken by them should be publicly considered by
| the silver clubs. Our cause has prospered most
| where the money question has been longest DIS
cussed among the people. During the next -FOUR
years II will be studied all over this Nation even
more than II has been studied In the past.
The year 1900 Is not far away Before that year
| arrives international bimetallism will cease to de-
| ceive: before that year arrives those who nave
called themselves gold standard Democrats VIII be-
| come bimeta lists and be with us. or they Will be.
come Republicans and be open enemies; before that
| year arrives trusts will have convinced still more
people that trust is menace TO private welfare
and public safety: before that year arrives the evil
| effects Of a gold standard will he even more evil
dent than they now. and the people, then ready
| to demand an American financial policy Tor the
American people will joir. with us In the immedi-
ate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage OF
gold and silver at the present legal ratio OF 10 to
without waiting for the aid consent OF any other
| nation w. J. BRYAN.
