DO NOT WAIT.

DO NOT WAIT.
The political campaign which is
now At its height is one in which every
American citizen, man, woman and
child should be and is more interested
than ever before. Because the future
prosperity of our nation and its people
depend upon it TO great extent it is
second in importance to the American
people onl 10 the battle OF bullets in IS
by which our independence as a nation
and liberty as individuals was won.
In that battle our foreiathers won
their personal freedom from the gall
ing yoke OF England aud in this we
must win our financial independence
from her money changers. England
never loved America except to rule
her before that battle and her defeat
has not inspired her 1, love us since.
Failing to defeat us in the battle Of
as she has since. by every possible
means, presistently endeavored to keep
us down. Her broad minded men by
persistent effort assisted by Wall street
traitors Ia American interests, placed
us on financial basis the result OF
which has already led to depression
and disaster indescribable, and must in
the near future lead TO degradation Of
the worst kind and poverty in the
most pitiable form.
Possessed, 10 use common phrase,
of money TO burn" in order that she
might accumulate all the gold Of the
world, England by Act of Parliment
compelled the Bank of England to
purchase all OF that metal offered il
at fixed price. Having accumulated
the bulk of gold in existance and
owning large portion Of that in the
mines, in order to complete her su.
premacy, hy her Vaccinations and
trickery, through Wall Street agents,
she secured an act of our Congaess
demonetizing silver, the constitutional
money of America, which was then
selling at a premium of ; per cent.
How this was done no one knows, as
proof of which We quote Senator Beck
who said at was never understood
that silver was 10 be demonetized.
Judge Kelley said although chair
man Of the committee | was ignorant
of the fact that il would demonetize
silver" and SD we might go on pro-
ducing testimonials of this trick on
the part of these money changers TO
steal from us one half our money
which was done by emitting only three
words standard airer dollars In view
OF this fact is it business-like, honest
or patriotic TO adopt England's stand
ard, gold, of which we have none.
This too in spite of the fact that silver
is our natural product and our consti-
tutional money. We know and you
know that such is not common sence,
and YOU know furthermore that both
of these metals are better than one
only. Our Republican friends admit
this but they ask It's to wait until
England consents. They admit that
free silver is a good thing. that a
double standard is desirable and for
the best interest Of all mankind but
they say wait. wait till the money
changers of London and Wall Street
are willing" Such proposition every
intelligent man knows is ridiculously
preposterous for they never have or
never will have enough and until they
have enough they will never be "will-
ing to give away their opportunity
to make more. Read the facts about
Mr.. Morgan's recent deal. as stated in
Mr.. organs speech. and decide for
yourself how long you will have TO
wait for his consent 10 abandon such
opportunities 10 make money. Dear
reader, do not wait, but vote at the
coming election for Bryan and release
from the money changers strong hold
upon us.
