IT BEARS FRAUD
UPON ITS FACE.

vainly seek for a chance to work-upon
the great army OF enforced idlers, and
one and all resolve to try, not an ex-
pertinent (for bimetalliSm is not an eX-
peTl1nenD, but rather a, return to
pollcy that throughout the viasssitudes
OF our nations infancy, through the in
ternecine struggle of its manhood, kept
us great, free and prosperous nation,
III which labor was not only respected
ana employed, but was so compensated
that want and distress such as now
weigh upon us was unknown Let the
lesson OF history, too recent and too
plain to be gainsaid or denied, be
needed, and let there be no fear that
a system that so wonderfully protected
lE'bof, developed business enterprise
and secured to the nation a contented
and prosperous people in the past will
do aught but bring to us
a RETURN OF LIKE PROSPERITY,
the predictions of disaster of our oppo-
nentS to the contrary Notwithstanding
I'm Mr.. Bryan, the Chicago convention
placed at the head of its ticket q gen
tieman of exceptional ability and of
high character No man Of his age was
better known throughout the I'm & ID
States than he. A member of congress
for four years, he commanded the ad-
miration and respect of all his asso-
ciates in that body as a scholarly
statesman and a profound thinker. No
man had ever aSsailed his character or
in any way questioned his integrity or
moral worth. His character is a fit ex-
ample for the young men of this coun-
try. He has shown in ali his public
utteTances that he loves his country
and his countrymen and that he sym
pathizes with them in their distress
He has also shown that he believed the
financial system which makes gold the
standard of value was in a great de-
gree the cause of the depression and
financial distress prevalent through
out the land; that the condition now
existing will continue while the present
monetary system lasts, and that he
would f2in return to the
USE OF BOTH GOLD AND SILVER
as they were used prior to 1873, and he
has proposed such a change of the
financial system by the usual consti-
tutional methods.
such was the character and such
the political opinions of the candidate
known to his countrymen, who by their
representatives in convention selected
from every state in the union put him
in nomination for the highest office
within the gift of the American people.
This is a critical period in our ma
tional history, Our Industrial and
financial independence of other nations
and peoples is involved in this cam
paign, and we firmly believe there will
be no return to prosperity until we
shall have changed our financial sys
TEN so as to restore the bimetallic sys-
TEN established by the fathers of the
republic; and so believeing we urge all
friends of gold and silver as standard
money and the opponents of a single
gold standard to give to Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Sewall their hearty support. In
advising this course we do not con-
slider it necessary that they shall
abandon or surrender their political
views on other questions.
Profoundly impressed with the i'm
portance of the issues of this cam
paign, for ourselves and our associates
we respectfully submit the foregoing
to the candid consideration of the
American people.
