WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. S.-The
following address to Every American
Patriot has been issued from the
headquarters of the National Peoples
party. In full it reads:
To Every American Patriot:-The
Peoples party. as it's name implies. is
the champion of the masses who labor
and produce wealth. 1t was summoned
into existence by an industrial confer
ence that represented the producers of
the nation. When it sprung into the
political arena it was the only party
demanding the enactment of laws for
the suppression of monopolies, and for
the equal protection of all citizens
against the Entertainments of corporate
power. 1t is now the only party in
existence which, with undivided mem
bership, is demanding equal rights to
all and special provisions 10 none. To
the efforts of this party is due the re-
volt of the masses of the Democratic
party, which resulted in turning down
the Cleveland administration and its
British financial policy, and the noni-
nation of William J. Bryan on plat
form
DEMANDING FINANCIAL INDIE
PENDENCE
elements that, heretofore, dominated
Democratic conventions and dictated
nominations are now vigorously re-
senting the action of the Chicago con-
vention, which they consider an un-
warranted interference upon the part
of the voters. They have organized
and are now the open and aggressive
allies of the gold Republicans and with
their money and votes will do every
i'm to ihsa Vtyill
of the people by the election of Nc
Knley. the Republican candidate,
whose nomination was dictated by and
whose administration is mortgaged to
a combination of American and Eng
lish monopoiists and plutocrats.
The mission of the Peoples party is
to restore the government to the people.
To this end 1t has nominated Mr..
Bryan for president and Mr.. Watson
for vice-president, which is not only the
true cooperative ticket for silver voters
of all parties to unite upon, but which
is also
THE BEST SILVER TICKET
in the field Our friends must not
abate one jot or title of their interest
and efforts to advance the principles
of the Peoples party, simply because
another party has been forced to adopt
nearly all OF our principles. 1t must
be remembered that the condition of
the national Democratic party was
obliged by the silver men of that party
only through q bitter contest in each
state contest, however, which was
forced upon the party and its leaders
by the existence and rapid growth of
the Peoples party. Had it not been for
the Peoples party each one of the old
parties would this year have been run
ming a goldbug for president as they
have in each campaign for the last
twenty years. The Peoples party has
made this present revolution possible
and its continued existence and growth
is necessary to secure reforms for
which the Populists and silver Demo-
Gratis are alike contending in this cam
paign.
1t must also be remembered that
there is now considerable majority in
the Democratic party who, though sup
porting the action of the Chicago con-
vention, do so from policy, and be-
hind their present position IS
LURKING MANY A DOUBT
and mental reservation. That these
doubts and mental reservations may
yet re-enforce the boiling plutocrats of
the Indianapolis convention and rem
der the action of the Democratic party
uncertain in the future, are possibili-
ties to be discounted and the Peoples
party is the only agency through which
the people can do this. Therefore, it is
to the interest and duty Of every good
citizen who believes in a government
as understood and administered by
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln to up
build and strengthen this national or
ganization, which has made reform and .
relief possible n this campaign. To .
have
A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, /
the people must have party that is
true TO them, through which to obtain
such government. This they cannot
have if the national party draws its
fund from bankers and COR
