ARENOT'S 8OM85HELL

For some time past the gold men
have been pointing t. Dt. Otto Ar,nJt
the German writer on finance. AS a
guide, philosopher ana friend Of gold
nations. But he has thrown d big
shell in their camp by his article un
the present camp tI-l. H-tr this:
Look at the two sides and mark the
striking contrast. McKinley aud his
votari~5, representing the parry Of So
called honest money aud dIshortst
profits he party OF trusts and mono
poles, he party that brought tue pill
age OF national resources for the beuetit
Of capital to a fine point and its
method On the one side. Their OPP
ponenlS We find under the proud ban
htT IT Bryan. IntSe are the Product
I've classes, workingmen and farmers,
who refuse to permit tnensei YES to b5
D.ed in future for the cause Of the gold
Standard.
These words dc rot sound very
pleasant to the gold men WHO have
been quoting Arendt.
He continues: America offers US
the tantiliZing alternative between ii
prohibitive tariff and the silver stand
ard, but our money monupotists in
this case harvest the storm e hey
have been sowing the wind. Their
long-coDtirued opposition to interna =
iOnal biHaetalli5m is on the eve of re-
ceiving its proper retributiou. Brvan's
victory Will 30 doubt prepare the way
for an International agreement.
Should Bryan be elected We tue BIZ
nrtaiIisls wUui4 gain form dazzle
allies. while American bankers would
certainly do al! 10 theiI power TO fore
stall the depreciation Of American
values by backing our cause OF intel
national himetallism.
Here are some more extracts:
Heaven high above him, unfettered
and un;lercenary, rose Bryan, who at
once gained therespect md syn pathies
OF bimetallists the world over. If |
were an American citizen | would IN
hesitatingly vote for the peoples cham
piOn. A free coinage President APP,
= pears to me a lesser evil tina a Stock
Exchange President who would walk
in Cleveland's footsteps.
You see on this side of the Atlantic
the silver question is recognized as
paramount by capitalism. On the
other hand Mr.. Bryan has the sym
pathies of the producing classes of al
European lands in this campaign
You are lighting the battle Of lao II
against the BOurse, the battle Of the
farmer against the Spectator.
The victory of Bcyan will be the be-
ginning of a peaceful solution o. sOcia'
questions, not through UtOpian re
volutionary schemes, but through t
healthy economic policy for the main
tenance and strengthening of. tn,
working and producing classe*.
Shall the prodn,ors pay doubI'
value in goods or not? The English
creditor grows rich while his American
victim goes to ruin. When once 1t be
comes fully understood in LohdoI
that Bryan is bOuLd to uact free silve
coinage without the permission Of tn
Stock Exchange, will not the fear o
the decrease of American values brini
about EnGland's conversion? The
BalfCur will follow his bimetallic cor
victions and in that case all Europe i
conquered.
In other words the victory Of b
metallism iH America would he follow
ed in Europe by the adoption of tn
double standard and the Europea
countries falling t. fall in line wOui
euffer in the commercial relation
with the r st of the world, Uncle Sal
waves the septer Of finance and tn
rest Of the world must bow.
