What are the forces arrayed against
William ]. Bryan and the people in
this most remarkable campaign? What
influences must be encountered and
defeated If a victory be won on Nov. 3?
1t is now possible to answer these
questions. The lines are drawn and
they are drawn sharply. There is no
middle ground. 1t is organized greed
against the people. 1t IL interruptions
and defiant wealth against American
workman and producers. 1t is the IN
centrated power of money, trusts and
syndicates versus the unulganized
patriotism of the United States. If Will
lam j. Bryan is elected it will be in
spite Of the desperate efforts Of the
following classes and Individuals:
l. The presidents and stockholders OF
every robbing trust in the United
States. There Is not a Dust but that
has willingly paid an assessment to
Mark Hanna's corruption fund.
2. The solid membership of that
gilded coterie known as New York's
Four Hundred. Every simpering snob
and English -aping dude is for McKin-
ley and the gold standard. Every title
hunting Anglo-maniac, with more
money than brains, is opposed to Will
lam Bryan or any other man born west
Of New York city.
3. Every money lender, gold broker
and syndicate promoter in New York
and the other money centers Is solid for
Mckinley and gold. This |.st includes
such distinguished patriots as August
Belmont. Heidelbach, I~ckelheimer &
Co., Lazard Freres, Kuhn, Loeb & CO.,
and many others with unpronounceable
names are now calling the farmers and
workingmen of the United States AN
archists and thieves" and asking that
the gold standard be made permanent.
4. Ninety-nine per cent. of the bank
ers and stock brokers of the United
States. They have joined hands with
the great life insurance companies and
have ilaugurattd a reign OF financial
terrorism against those business men
who dare question their right to dictate
votes or control legislation. The
bankers Boycott against those who
dare express an opinion favorable to
silver is a feature Of this campaign.

right Of workirgmen to organize for
