PASS THEM ALONG.

The following call has been sent out,
from Washington, from the able chair
man of the free-silver party of the
United States:
American Silver Organization.-Offic
Chairman National Committee, Cor
coran Building, Washington, d. c.
Plan of Organization.
That the voters of the country may
have an opportunity to so organize that
they can cooperate and redeem our
country from the blight of gold stand
ard which has made the one-hundred-
cent dollar of 1873 a Northumberland
dollar in 1896, and is paralyzing the
energies of our people, undermining
our liberties and bids fair to fill the
land with poor-houses, the National
Committee appointed by the Silver Con-
ference, in Washington, d. c., jan %
and %, suggests the following plan of
organizations:
1st. That the organization proceed
from the people up, by all silver men
signing the club roll.
I'd. That the organization should ex-
tend into every school district, so that
clubs may be formed convenient to the
homes of the people.
In order to effect such organization.
the representative of the National
committee in each state and territory
should proceed to secure the co-opera-
tion of one active and efficient worker
in each county to act as a committee
man for such county, whose duty it will
be to organize said county.
The county committeeman should
proceed without delay to secure the CO.
operation of one active man in each
city, township or precinct to under
take the organization of said city,
township or precinct. 1t is further

Are They Blameless?

If you are populist you needn't read
the short extract that follows. But if
you are democrat or republican it
may pay you to study it a little. It is
from the New Charter, of San Jose
California:
For eight years we voted the repub-
lican ticket. When we became a voter
all the chief legislative deviltry of the
republican party had been committed.
Men older and wiser than ourselves did
all in their power to enlighten us.
They gave us books and we would not
read them. They gave us papers and
we tore them up. They argued with
us and we got mad, shrugged our
shoulders, sneered, cussed the men who
argued with us, and told them if they
didn't like the country they had better
get out of it. What was the matter
with us? We were party slave, with
a party ring in our nose, the party
collar on our neck, the party goggles
before our eyes. We had eyes to see
with, ears to hear with, brains to think
with, yet we let the party bosses do
our seeing, hearing and thinking on all
things political. What we did. seven
out of eight men in this country are
still doing, in spite of the thousands
who are holding the truth up before
them. Were we blameless? Are they
blameless?

but one other outlet. 1t turns to absorb
all valuable agricultural land. To this
end it raises firmly its invincible
weapon, the gold standard, by which
it can force prices of gand and products
ever lower, until it has by foreclosure
of mortgages or otherwise, swept all
such land to the hands OF plutocracy,
thus destroying all independent Amer
lean farmers, reducing them to renters
and wage slaves, who in rags must toll
side by side with Cinnamon, and fast
hurrying all branches of labor to con-
ditions, where a pure despotism of
capital shall grind ever deeper into the
dust of despair, slavery and misery
the once happy and hopeful millions Of
our land. With wages ever falling, the
masses become more wretched, the
army of unemployed is greater The
usurer despots object to giving to labor
the means of life by public employment
of the unemployed while they are yet
outside the Jail, but favor driving the
laborer first to Imprisonment where he
may work as the slave of the state. To
this end they enact so-called vagrant
laws, by which all men without means
of support become criminals, and when
arrested and forced to prison for the
crime of poverty, the usurers favor
furnishing public employment in pris-
ons to the victims whom they have
forced to that position.
This is the situation, and the prob
lem we are called to face in the year
1896. Therefore we are now face to
face with the crisis of the ages. We
enter upon this irrepressible conflict
from which we are to emerge with vic
tory and industrial freedom, or in de-
feat and hopeless slavery. If we will
rise to the occasion the contest cannot
be doubtful. The usurers have frankly
stated the process by which they have
enslaved the people, in the Infamous
Hazard circular issued by the London
capitalists to the New York bankers in
1862, which said:
Slavery is likely to be abolished by
the war power, and chattel slavery
destroyed. This 1 and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery is
with it the care of the laborer, while
the European plan led On by England.
is capital control of labor by con-
trolling wages. This can be done by
controlling the money"
1t is, therefore, the control of money
which they confess has been the chief
weapon in destroying our people. This
control of money has been possible
only because these same despots hayo
controlled our government and our
people can never end their slavery un-
til they hurl from political power the
organizations which have given, and
now give to usurers the control of
money. Mr.. R. NJ Widney, a banker.
said in 1891: "a corner on money is a
corner on all other corners combined
and can control the social and political
as we'll as the producing, labor and
property interests of the nation" This
is the testimony of every honest states
man and of all human experience. We
must have a financial system which
will place the control of money forever
beyond the power of any combination
or class. The remedy must be ade-
quate to the occasion a system which
will destroy usury is the ONLY one
which can meet the demands of this
hour. THOMAS V. GATOR

Now sir, suggest that you reform at

Adopt honest methods. Men have

reform" proposition to me. l am a
poor man. 1, however, own my own
Office and have been taught politically
that bribery is a crime. | am not
willing to sell out my views to a rich
syndicate, able and willing to debauch
the press of the country. You can pur-
chase my plant, but not my ideas or my
views. You cannot furnish gold
enough to get your plate editorials in
to my paper, either.
The Press is for sound currency, one
that is good for all classes, at all times;
currency of the United States and
good for the world.
1t is for the free coinage of silver as
an honest and sound currency, and to
place the law of 1873, back on our
statute books should be the first duty
of every true, loyal citizen.
The enemy of silver is the enemy of
this country.
The man who attempts to disrupt the
union, is no more a traitor than he who
disrupt our currency, or who opposes
its restoration.
l am fully able to write my own edi-
torials and express my own views.
If l want manufactured pewter-pre-
pared editorial utterances, l can pay for
them. The shameless heresies you put
forth, under the guise of sound cur
rency" ought to convince every loyal
democrat of the country that you are
conspiring with the republican party
to maintain the robbing gold standard,
and that the only hope that the farmers,
workmen and business men of the
country have is to repudiate your "re-
form methods, and denounce you as the
germ of all monopoly, trusts, aristocracy
and caste, and as dangerous to a gov
ernment of the people, as wolf is u

facturers of Philadelphia, were willing
to barter with the silver Senators foI
free silver in exchange for additional
protection, and further and more i'm.
portant, declaring that question of BIZ
metallism could be permanently settled
only by international agreement; and
opposing the free coinage of silver by
the United States alone, was not alto
gether surprise, especially so when
the result of the Washington confer

understood. 1t seems strange, how
ever, that citizens of great common.
wealth, such as Pennsylvania, with ita
resources and present Industrial devel-
opment could acknowledge themselves,
or their country to be dependent on the
wealthy classes of England and other
European nations, yet in effect, the
Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia
did that very thing when it adopted the
resolution opposing Independent action
on the part of the United States in thu
matter Of its monetary system.
