The Republicans gained control
of this Congress by denouncing the
treachery and incompetency of the
Democratic party, and by promis-
ing to take bold and vigorous steps
to revive business and to stop fall
ing prices. The first session of this
congress is closed, and what has
been done? Absolutely nothing.
Not single law has been passed
that will remove single evil that
is preying upon the body polite;
not single law that will raise
prices, make debts easier to pay,
give employment to labor, or re-
move hard times and stagnation
which to day hangs as a threaten
ing pail over the Nation, from ocean
to ocean. In short it has been a
edo nothing Congress-" The
record is almost blank, and under
circumstances like the present no
record is the most damaging record
that party can have. That is,
the gold combine and monopolists
have succeeded in getting conditions
almost exactly as they desire them.
1t is true that if the gold ring
could satisfy its every wish the
greenbacks would be burned up
and the whole power of issuing
paper money would be given to the
National Banks. But they are
reasonably well satisfied with the
present condition of things. There,
fore, the party that will serve them
best is the party that will do
nothing, thereby preserving condi-
tions as they are; and, by the same
reasoning, the party that betrays
the people most is the party that
does nothing and leaves the people
to suffer the poverty and distress
which now exists and must continue
until here is a change in the finan-
cial system and in the administra-
tion of our governmental affairs.

The republican convention was
opened on Tuesday with prayer by
a Jewish rabbi. That was to please
"Baron" ROthschild who belongs
to that ancient church. The rabbi
asked the god of Abraham to bless
the work of the convention. They
have no love for Christ since he
kicked a lot of Wall streeters out
of the temple at Jerusalem, and
say he was an impostor. The
London Times, Rothschild's organ
is much pleased with the gold
plank. That "chosen people"
were always extremely fond of gold
and have been gathering it for four
thousand years. They are credited
with having secured the most of it.
What little they havn't got the
United States treasury is gathering
for them so that it will be handy
when they call for it. They have
taken out $26, 900, 900 since April 1.

War without firing a gun seems
like an anomaly, and yet such a
war has been actively waged by
Great Britain against the United
States for thirty years. That war
is the gold standard. In two wars
she failed to conquer the Ameri-
cans by the use of cannon and
muskets, but she has almost sue
ceeded in overthrowing this nation
by the silent war of the gold stan
dard. That war has cost us thous-
ands of millions and if not stopped
will finally result in our ruin.

America,-North and South in
1S94-produced nearly one third
of the gold Of the world and more
than three fourths of all the silver.
Europe produces less than 90
millions of silver and uses annually
for coinage and the arts double as
much or more than is produced on
the European continent. In view
of these facts what a craven policy
the two old political parties have
been forcing this country to pursue.
Europe has to purchase nearly all
the silver used for token coinage
and in the arts, and at our price if
we choose to set the price. Europe,
Asia and Africa all combined don't
