Col. Ike Hills Opinion.

From the Washington Letter of the Baltimore
Herald of August l6.
Col. Ike Hill, who has been deputy SER
geant-a arms of the House for upward
of a quarter of century, and is known
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, has just returned to Washington
from Columbus. .. The colonel is a
member of the Democratic state commit
tee of Ohio, which held a meeting in
Columbus Wednesday.
''0ur meeting was like a young conven-
ton, - said Colonel Hill today to the Morn
ing Herald correspondent. The corri-
doris of the Neil House were crowded with
Democrats from all parts of the state.
If the reports submitted to the CONT
tee as to the political situation in the coun-
ties are correct, Bryan will carry Ohio by
big majority Yes, we can discount
those reports 30 per cent. and then carry
the state. According to the written re-
ports % per cent. of the voters making up
Bryan and Sewall clubs are Republicans.
''The goldbug Democrats! They won t
amount to anything in Ohio. We don t
count EN- as a factor in the fight.
''There' Cultivate. He wanted the
nomination for Congress again. He was
running round giving superficial advice,
but nobody paid any attention to him.
He got left and now he's shouting for a
gold Democratic ticket, hoping Cleveland
will give him judgeship.
''Sim Donavin; you remember Sim !?
Well, he trained with the gold-bug boilers
for short while. But he quit EN-.
''Sim says that over in indianapolis
Cultivate and Bynum went into room
at the Bates House, with the temperature
at 105, to fix the gold-bug nominations.
They agreed right away that they ought
to make up the ticket-one of en- for
President and t'other for Vice President
But both wanted first place. They agreed
that both candidates of the gold Demo-
Gratis ought to come from the West, so
that it couldn't be said Wall street had
anything to do with it. Then they agreed
that Ohio and Indiana ought to furnish the
candidates.
"Bynum suggested that as he had work
ed up the gold-bug business, he was the
right man for President. But that didn'
suit Cultivate. He wanted it t'other
way. Well, they argued and argued,
and, finally, Bynum says;
t.Why should you have first place over
me T
Cultivate he answers Cause l out

There is safe way under our constitu-
ton of breaking up the gold trust, and that
is to restore bimetallism, bringing silver in
competition with gold, as money.
But the Republican party in its platform
declares that this shall not be; that the
owners of gold and the gold miners shall
have monopoly of the monetary supply;
that the few enormously rich men in this
country, and others, shall have the power
to seize upon the monetary supply; to own
it and control it, and to compel mankind
to give in property and commodities what
ever these trusts and combines may demand
for their gold.
This gold trust is at the head Of all
trusts and combines in this country. When
the money volume is cornered it enables
the owner Of that money volume to corner
all products. The Standard Oil Trust
has cornered the product of petroleum and
fixes the prices for that commodity for the
people of this country at the will of the
combine. The monopolies of this country,
by use of this trust. has gotten control OF
the beef ldarket. They fix the price of
the product of beef to the farmer, and also
the price to the consumer They also en-
able the grain spectators and gamblers to
practically dominate and control prices of
products.
Thus it will be seen that the trusts and
combines are enabled to monopolize the
market of nearly all the products at labor.
\ few men, owning and controlling the
product of gold and the money volume,
seize upon the avenue of industry and fix
monopoly upon nearly everything pro-
duced and everything consumed; so that
under this system of trust and combinations
few men are being made rich and accu-
mulating their millions every year-build-
inc up enormous fortunes and at the same
time impoverishing the great laboring
masses of the people.
When we shall have broken this money
trust with silver in competition with gold
we shall have struck deadly blow to all
the trusts and combines that are now suck
ing the life blood of the people.
