Z The best alt hority quotes the amount
[of gold Ooin Ia the United States at 1900
|O0O, 900. This Is locked up In the govern
ment wants and banks Of the monied
kings, Such being the case, what earthly
show have the masses to get it for the
present or future use.
! Statictics Of the minis OF the world
show that only SIC, 0O0, 600, 900 Of silver.
has been produced in the past 400 years.
OF this amount So 800, 900, 900 was coined
III Mexico during the past $50 years.
Mexico, as a silver country, is one OF the
most prosperous In the world.
At present there is but s. ZOO, 000, 900 In
use. Ss 4S22..
You ask what has become of the ST.
O0O,O 900? 1t has been consumed by
abrasion and the arts. This is continue
ine.sssArt is increasing the use Of silver
until today art consumes an amount near
~ equal to the production.
Supposing all the depositors having
money In the banks Of the United States
today should call at one and the saaame
time and demand gold coin TOR Tie
amount of their deposits, how much
would they get? There Is not SUFFICIENT
gold in the United States to pay five per
cent OF the deposits, and yet the gold
bugs demand single gold standard with
out gold to uphold it.
They advise the selling of bonds in
times of peace TO get gold to pay for Ash
attic labor while our own labOrers are idle
and starving. y -.
Think for moment of the present con-
dition of the country. Want, suffering
and starvation brought about by Grover
Cleveland. Under his gold-bug admins
tration we will have sold $400, 900 TN
bonds without just cause or reason, for
we are at peace with all nations. The
compound interest on this for thirty years
amounts to one billion, one hun dred mil
lion dollars. II Grover. Cleveland has run
the government in debt over one billion
dollars during his administration, what
will the result be with Mark Hanna and
his money kings in possession OF the gov
eminent?
The question might pertinently be
asked, t'How much has Cleveland made
out Of the deal and how much more will
the millions he is expanding in this cam
paign?
Who is putting up this campaign
money?
1t is not the money kings OF the Repub-
lean or Democratic parties alone who are
advancing the vast amounts to enslave
our people. The major portion comes
from the combined monied powers of Eu-
rope that the gold standard may be main
tanned. The Rothschi.ds will undoubted-
ly have the stubs to show for it.
Think for a moment of Japan gaining
on her exports 102 per cent in four years;
every wheel turning, every man, woman
and child busy making all kinds OF man
ufactured goods which are sold for gold
standard countries.
The 50-cent dollar is used to produce
these goods. Remonetize our silver and
they will have to accept it at q par with
gold, 16 to L. or keep their goods ait home.
This will be the case with all silver staId-
ard countries.
Exports from the United States during
the past four years having decreased ~
per cent under the gold standard furnish
es sufficient proof of the cause OF idleness
among go many of our people.
Ten to twenty years more OF the gold

element with the gold standard countries.
This will elevate the Asiatic laborers or
the gold standard countries will be COM
PEELED to work for lower wages or remain
idle.
|. ask YOU to think seriously before cast.
ing your ballot.
! If you vote for Bryan, you Will not only
vote for yourself but for your wife and
children and your children's children that
they may be kept from perpetual slavery.
On the other hand, vote for Mckinley
is a vote for the money powers OF Europe,
headed by the Rothschilds and their en-
issaries in the United States, the goldbug
bankers; the vandarbilts, the Astors, the
Carneg.es, the Pullmans, RockafeEers,
and the hundred other million aires; men
who are seeking to destroy one-falf the
wealth of the world.
Being already in possession of the gold,
if they can but succeed IN preventing the
free coinage of silver the masses will be
at thefrsinercy, and no mercy will be
shown.
Pleadings, tears, misery, starvation,
crime or death has no influence with this
class, vino are devoid Of feeling only for
themselves; who know no sense OF JUS
tica:VSwho are no respectors Of poverty;
n,en@Who would make you their abject
slaves to be held in ignorance and bond
age forever. J. X. CLARK,
