The time has come when the political situation must
be seriously considered There many persons in
the country looking to something for nothing to trust
to the good of the people reject the false financial
theories and unreasong pledges of the anarchracy
For ages deluded people have sought method of trans
uting base metals precious god and that of
the promises of the Chicago platform it will require
campaign of education to prevent stampede of mpecu-
NOUS gold hunters to the support OF that str
ment Then again, there thousands of debtors who
believe that free coinage would enable them to qudate
their Indebtedness with 50cent dollars and it will
state the united efforts of welmeaning citizens to keep
them line for honest money The issue defined by the
honor and national disgrace whether not to
repudate half public and private debts and involve
the country in financial distress.
In deciding this question: capital" which is
vigorously denounced by the party render great
assistance If assurance is iven that there will be
panic business troubles in the event of victory for
honest money the election is practically won The pro-
tracted financial depression has involved many OF
business firms and made extension of their credits
absolutely necessary continuance of the hard times,
legal attempt to collect their Indebtedness would
plunge etenths of them into bankruptcy and avert
that calamity and the operation and influence
of business during the pending campaign should be
the duty Of the creditor class.
Nothing be gained by threat of calling in loans
attempt to create a financial strngency. 1t is
scarcity of money due to hard times that has chiefly
been instrumental IN bringing the silver craze, and
that epidemic only be checked by welldened
tanty that prosperity will follow defeat of the
archrats in November The moneyed interests give
this and carry the election if effort made
to do Will it be done will the disorder be height
