THEY WILL NOT BE ENsLAVED. Gold Is PowarIess to Stop the Onward

 and Justice Must Prevail.
 The Goulds, Vanderbilts, Stages, Whit neys and Morgans, whose money has controlled New York politics for more than d quarter of century, do not yet understand what has happened in the country, but they do know that de- termined attack has been made upon the intrenchments of their usurped power over the people. One who has watched them closely, with good opportunities to understand them, recently wrote of them that they are as angry, as confused and as anxious to sting as 2 colony of hor- nets whose nest has been suddenly torn down.
 There is no doubt at all that they are deeply and bitterly enraged because of the straightforward Democratic declara- tion of independence adopted at Chi eago. They feel that if any party is al- lowed to win after repudiating them and denying their right 10 rule they are likely to lose control of the govern. ment for years to come, ii not perma- nently. There is, therefore. no likeli- hood that the reports of the sums they a1a gerate their intentions. But is it a case where $50, GOO, GOO or S100, 900. 900 or 5000, GOO, 900 can stop the American people as they move forward ill phalanx to assert their right to liberty and self government?
 If unlimited money can settle the is- sues now before the country, Bryan is beaten, the Democratic party is whipped and disofganized, silver will be perma- nently demonetized, gold will become the sole standard of value in paying debts. corporation notes without legal tender quality will be the sole money available for borrowers and for the pay ment of wages, the usurped power of the federal courts will be extended, government by injunction will be estab- lished trial by jury will be abolished wherever plutocraey has need of haste in putting down the people, the nation al debt will be perpetuated and in- creased, bond issues i'll time of peace will be continued to form basis for a corporation currency and to prevent the free circulation of gold, wages and the products of our industries of farm and factory will be forced steadily down ward, the wealth of the country will continue to flow into the possession of the few who are already immensely wealthy and the commune of capital' will be permanently established on the ruins of q government in which Wash ington and Jefferson saw the worlds hope for freedom, for equality, for jus tice.
 If money in unlimited quantities can control the American people, they will now be controlled and enslaved But can money control them?
 They are already beginning to answer the question. They answered it i'll Ala bama the other day. h Maryland where local elections have been held they have shown that the purchase of their bosses is not the purchase of their votes. and in Tennessee they have given still more striking proof of their determina- tion to vindieate their liberties
 One of two things must happen eer- tainly Overwhelmed by the millions contributed to corruption funds against it, the Democratic party must either sustain defeat unprecedented ill poli- tics. or, supported by an indignant peo- pie rising to assert their sovereignty. it must win such victory as has not been won since Thomas Jefferson led the masses to the victory of 1900 which wiped out the monarchical and Federal istic party and changed the history of the world.-St. Louis Dispatch
