FREE SILVER THE THING.
Do You Want To Cast Your Vote For
England or The United States.
Some Solid Facts That All
Should Know, Everyone Interested ShOuld
Read This Carefully.

The following strong appeal to the En-.

to defeat bimetallism in America, and
showing the advantages free silver would
be to the United States and the disad-
vantage free silver in the United States
would be to English liuaDciers, recently
appeared in the London J / an ia | News.

"The financial situation in the United
States is very serious, and it demands
the immediate attention of British inan
ciers and Statement. Tie trade of the
world is now in our hands, but it. will
not long remain there it the United
States goes to a bimetallic base with frt e
and unlimited coinage OF silver.
"Wiih the addition of silver to the
volume of money everything in America
would take on new face labor and in
dustry would gain new life. The grip
of the gold standard on the products of
the world would be loosened and prices
would rise. Great Britain would lose
her markets in South America, Asia and
Europe, and American ships would not
be long in capturing the carrying
trade Of the world

themselves quickly to the American
money problem. The American people

the main issue in the coming presiden-
tial campaign, but if free silver domin-
ates the American miud and carries at
the polls, it will bring about change
in England that will be ruinous in its
suddenness and severity. The damage
that can be done British manufactures
by protective tariff is slight compared
with the disasters that would be entailed
by a change from a single gold to COM

"The success of free coinage will bring
down the rate of interest on money, aud
cause an immediate raise in the price of

primary money, the American mines
will pour their products into the minis,
and new era similar to that produced
by the issue OF greenbacks during the
civil war, will begin. Gold will leave
the banks, and enter into competition
with silver in the avenues of trade, and

which have been shut down or crippled
since 1892, will again resume their fight

Bryan is elected his wages will be cut
in two, and that his dinuer pail will 20
empty. How much effect this eleventh
hour sympathy is having on the men
whom it is intended TO gull is shown by
the fact that of all the labor papers in
the United States not one is for Hanna
and Mckinley. There is not a single la
Dor leader Of national inhus nee who docs
not speak for the cause CT Democracy as
the hope Of the wageworkers.
The following extract from the Knights
of Labor Journal, the official organ of
the order, will serve TO show the general
trend of opinion among the workingmen
on these matters
Bryan is the man OF the hour,
brought forth by the necessities of the
occasion. Bryan's whole course as a
politician has been clean, consistent,
forceful, manly. There are no dubious
utterances of his to explain away. His
position upon the chief issues has been
long and definitely established, and in
their defense he had already won his
spurs before his name was dreamed of in
connection with the presidency.
"All the powers OF wealth and the in
fuence it brings are already at work to
compass his defeat Every legal robber
in the United States regardless OF his
former politics, every man whose inter-
est lies in the continued sublugation Of
the wage Garner and farmer, every sheet
which has prospered and grown upon
the subsidies TO be obtained for treach-
ery-all this tremendous force is already
moving to prevent the coming triumph
OF the plain people"

Example.

New York, Sept. 7.--Jsmss Creelman
a staff correspondent of the New York
World, who has been looking for Nc
Kinley sentiment in the West, wires to
that paper from Milwaukee:
"The worst element in this campaign
is the part which Mark Hanna's fund is
playing. Candor compels me to give the
fact, without regard to whether Mr.
Bryan's election would be good thing
or bad thing. There is plenty of EVIL
dence, in my opinion, to show that this
is rapidly becoming the most corrupt
and corruptlng political struggle known
to the American people.
Bryan may be defeated, but the iuhu-
ence of the money and of Mark Hanna s
method upon the voters OF Wisconsin, in
common with the voters OF other states,
will not disappear after election day.
Let me give one example. / speak of
a matter know and understand. The
Reliance Machine works, owned by the
Edward p. Allie company, is situated in
Milwaukee. There are employed in this
establishment something like l 800 men.
Here the Bryan sentiment is very
strong. It's an absolute fact that Is
workingmen in this establishment are at
this moment on the pay roll of the Re-
publican state committee as secret politi
cal agitators. Their companions are ig-
norant Of this fact, and do not suspect
it. The result is, that these men have
an influence which they could not posi-
BILE WELD were the truth known.
''The Republican committee has also,
l am informed, upon its pay roll large
number of men in another establishment,
which employs about 1000 workiDgmen.
In several Of the factories here gold
standard arguments are pinned each
week to the envelope containing
wages.
"The republican committee has also
sent men into the mining districts Of
Wisconsin to ofTer S. in Mexican silver
for 81. % in American money 1t is inn
possible to make an honest statement of
the political situation in Wisconsin to-
day without revealing these facts.
The Republicans have an enormous
campaign fund and a political machine
the like ofwhich has never before been
seen in the state. The Republican COM
mittee has already distributed more
than a million documents in Wisconsin
The Mckinley literature is printed in
English, French, Danish, Polish, Norwe-
gian and German and spread broadcast
by the ton. Yesterday, in anticipation
of Sunday and Labor Day coming to-
gether after Mr. Bryan's visit to the city,
the Republican managers hired every
bill board in Milwaukee for three days,
and this morning 1000 cartoons repre-
sentiDg Bryan opening the minis to
Europe and Asia and Mckinley opening
the factories to American nottingham
were displayed. 1t takes money to do
that sort OF thing
