REMEDY roe rkEsEsT EyfLs-
This country can OF much longer
exist free and independent against all
the rest of the world. nor can its geo
pie much longer be free in the noble
sense of the term. IL the | nited states,
debtor nation, shall follow a policy
dictated by creditor nations. We pro-
duce all OF the ueceEsartes OF ME
Other nations consume our products.
In the race for existence Il j. con-
slant struggle between producer and
consumer. our present system OF
money deliberately submits IL the de-
sire and the profit of creditor nations,
leaving Us in the mass and as indlvid-
uais, a prey Ia the money gathering
and the deadly ch.apening OF the old
world. As the debt 10 creditors abroad
increases ON the masses OF the nation.
he price Of human production on the
farm and IN the WORK shop Is decreased
with appalling rapidity. exacting more
and more toll from our citizens TO
meet the given demand, and holding
over their heads threat of the day
when confiscation to meet their obli-
cations will leave them bare and de-
fenseless.
The only remedy II 10 stop falling
prices-the deadliest curse OF national
life. Prices never will cease falling
under the single gold standard. The
restoration Of bimetailism by this
country will double the basis OF our
money system. In time it will double
the stock OF primary money Of the
wOrId--wili stop falling prices and
steadily elevate them until they will
regain their normal relation TO the
volume of debts and credits in the
world. Bimetallism will help to bring
about the great hope of every social re-
great hope of every social reformer,
every believer in the advancement of
the race who realizes that the instabil-
ity OF prices has been the deadly foe
OF our toilers and the servant OF the
foreign interest-gatherer. Bimeta1-
lism will help to bring the time when
certain expenditure of human toll
will produce IL certain financial result.
VINO among the great masses of our
people in the United States but feels
that his lot would be made better, his
aspiration take new wings, If he could
know Ia the performance of his labor
what would be the price of his product?
AN APPEAL 10 THE PCBLIC.

ton OF the people as individuals, and
worth the attention Of political con-
ventiOns get TO b. held IN this Year
l>96: Is thls not so great an end That
all who believe IN lhe possibility Ut
attaining it by the means proposed
can yield something OF their parGisau-
ship both in conventions and at the
polls! 1t is in the hope that The mas
n t1a4
will have The courage and generosity
to unite for this purpose that we have
dared to offer our views to the people
of the United States, and because III
past there has lacked a rallying point
for the masses who hold as we do this
belief, we venture an act, trusting it
will be received in the same spirit of
Cancellation, concession, and with
which we put it forth.
We have endeavored in plain way
10 set the matter before the eyes of our
oW-citizens. We invoke the union
of all men and all parties who believe
that the time has come for the triumph
of justice. 1t is an hour when the peo-
pie may speak for themselves, as indi-
yiduals, aud through conventions yet
to be held. 1t is the right of every

With this in view, we offer to the
forthcoming conventions and to the
! people the name of a man for the Pres.
: idency of the United States whose life
in public and in private represents
those distinguished virtues which
adorned the days and the deeds of the
earlier time of this republic; a return
30 which virtues is requisite for the
prosperity and contentment of the
people, and the perpetuity and com.
mending example of free institutions
That name is Henry NJ. Teller. a mar
of the people and for the people. HI
is of no section. His experience anG
service, his devotion to the common
Justice and the common cause of hi
: fellOW-CitlZens has been as wide as TIN
country. We believe that the peOpl,
of the United States have him in thei
hearts as he has had their interest
in his purpose through all the worl
OF an exalted life.
TELLER COMPARED WITH LINCOLN.
1t is not merely as the exponent O
monetary reforms that we present TIL
man TO the people. 1t is true that b
has waged mighty war for the res
toratiOn of the money of the COnstltu
ton, and his name has been identi
fled as that of no other living man wit
this great cause. But had his service
been less demanded and less notice.
in this distinction, the people woul,
: still have recognized in him for othe
lab0rs stateman of the purest type
His only poverty has been that 0
purse, in all things else-in the gen
crosby of man to man, in kindlines
of deeds for his fellows, and in tn
study and the dOings of a mighty ca
reer, he has been OF the most Opulen
American citizens of any age.
!: In submitting this name to tn
American people we remind that jus
! generation ago, from the heart {
the boundless West, and touched b
the finger of God, there arose an emar
cipator who was powerful in the wor
: of human deliverance. BY his wi:
dom and courage, providentially d
rected, millions were free, and the NJ
u tion kept in its holy union. If Other
: shall see this opportunity as we see
if our fellOW-citiZens shall see tn
i duty as we see it; that sublime stor
may be- repeated, and another man
clothed in the majesty of devotion
II the race-will be lifted to pow,
=, :, where, by his wisdom and courag
Ii providentially directed, more million
may be made free from chains as gal
ing as those of the actual SLAYER
and the nation may be preserved
