is being printed by thousands to be sen
to war veterans in every part of the coun
try. It reads as follows:
"Comrades have long since passed
the period when it becomes us as Amer
ican citizens to know any north or south
any east or west. If there is line o
demarkation between the blue and th'
gray, we are no longer American patriots
as now in the common cause of humanit!
such lines are forever effaoed. The enc
mics of American independence proclaim
in one bresth our sectional prejudice, ant
in the next decry our patriotism because
We will not touch elbows with those tina
for personal gain ally themselves will
foreign elements that would control oul
future destinies.
'We should not, and we certainly do not
stand upon any sectional ground; our ad
vocacy of bimetalism Is upon the broad
humane principle of equal Justice to al
men, high or low, rich or poor. Indeed
the principle we advocate is not alone in
the interest of humanity within our Dor
ders, but is as far-reaching as the fields
of oppression and poverty. The struggle
is not alone one of mere fiscal improve
ment, but is contest for the liberation
of the lowly, fight for human freedom
We barred our breasts to the enemies OF
freedom at one time, that chattel slavery
might be forever wiped from our escutch.

ated. How much more earnest should be
our effort to liberate the debtor, the la
borer, the artisan and the yeoman, com
prising nearly two-thirds of the inhabit'
ants of our republic, from slavery far
more degrading because it wears the mask
of liberty. Chattel slavery is owning Ia
Dor itself; industrial slavery fixes abso'
lutely the compensation of labor, regard
lees of the law of equity or the law OF
supply and demand.
"We believe the Importance of any for.
mer campaign to be Insignificant In the
issue when compared with this. The
question presented is, shall Americana
Independently adopt currency schems

honor of tho nation, place our citizens

an1 their lieutenants remain financiers to
the government with power to dictate to
our chief executive the course that must
be pursued, which course is dictated in
turn by the enslaving money power of a
foreign nstioni Shall such power be
longer permitted to fix the price of prod

us as anarchists and repudiators because
we maintain our right to pay cur debts in
amount as contracted and not in amount
doubled by forced depreciation of all
products through a conspiracy pro
nounced BY Mr.. Carlisle in 1873 the great
est of the age.
"Comrades, let us once again place our
sacrifices upon the altar of human rights.
Let US see to it that subsidized press
hired orators and intimidators-untru
and fools-leading literature-do not entice
US from duty more sacred and immor-
tai than was our duty thirty.five years
years ago. Let us see to it that every
son and friend of freedom goes forth
each day with 'armor bright and whetted
sword ready to defend the heaven born
principle of universal freedom to all men.
"Comrades, we are yet great power
and the election of Mr. Bryan may yet be
made certain by the organized army of
1861 to 1866"
