SIXTEEN TO ONE.
Discussion of British Influence in
the United States.

dOOu1 uOuey POMOl, LuOuOpO-
lists,' etc. Some years ago there
was an Ohio senator to be elected.
Many old-time Democrats aspired to
the honor. When the votes of the
Democratic legislators were counted
out the logical aspirants were not in
it. The majority footed up in favor
of one Payne.
A few years later this monopoly
hating party, this ish-Rothschild
hater and fearful friend OF labor had
another opportunity to elect a sena-
tor. There was Thomas, Thurman
and the other old standbys to Sc
lect from. When the hat had been
spilled on the table and the votes
counted out it was found that the
champions Of labor, and monopoly
haters had made choice Of one Brice.
1t is not difficult to pick out that
party which would be perfectly con
tent to see US playing second fiddle,
and our labor enslaVede in aid of
British capital if some party success
could be gained by that5course. 1t is
the party whose organs point con-
spicuously a bra1en brand pretending
that it IL copied from the London
Fnsacial News It is headed "paste
this IN your hat" The article claims
that the ''British authorities desire
the defeat OF free silver movement in
this country, because they think free
coinage would be good for the United
States in fighting for the control OF
the worlds markets. No such stuff
ever was printed, or could have been
printed in any paper of decent stand
ing. The journal referred to says:
''No such article was ever printed by
U.s." The howlers about q British in
fuence'' are themselves the minions
of that influence, and are willing to
yoke themselves with forgery to help
it along. Control Of the markets"
goes with no silver country exactly
the contrary is true.
Free trade, and free silver are the
two halves OF one thing Free trade
engenders low wa ges and. free silver.
provides cheap meners to- pay the
wages with. Both work together in
perfect harmony for the benefit OF
the foreign competitor in the labor
market. The combination, ifpersist-
ed in, will, and always does make the
rich richer, and the poor poorer at a
swift ratio. No more devilish scheme
was ever proposed, and never one
which would SO wholly handicap
American labor for the direct benefit
OF English capital, capitalists, manu-
facturers and workingmen.
All the gasconade about our being
dominated by British money, is
emitted for the purpose of capturing
weakminded creatures Of present i'm
pulse. Even these know we'll enough
that our weights, measures, litera-
ture, traditions, Jurisprudence, even
our language are derived from our
mother country. They know that,
with one exception, the vote of the
thirteen colony states that whipped
British rule out OF United States ter
ritory will, in the approaching cleo
tion, be given to William Mckinley.
That exception is the Tory state OF
Tillman. Even they should know
enough to know that the free and un-
limited coinage of silver would take
the gold ground from under the feet
ofour monetary system, SO to speak,
and drop us down in the silver
slough, every dollar Of silver and of
paper to become subject to the daily
dictate Of London, which fixes the
daily price OF silver, has done SO, and
will keep on doing so, in spite Of all
the laws this country can make.
Such are the Bryan declaimers
against foreign dictation.'
The certain end and purpose OF
Bryan's captious phrasings is to
lure his followers into the power of
the silver monopolists, and that OF
the most grasping corporations on
earth. The silver barons join hands
with the gold barons. A late number
OF the Nation says: The silverites
OF this country will be confounded to
learn that the Rothchilds are bimet-
allists. Whether our western friends
will be pleased or shocked by this in
formation we shall not attempt to
predict, but we fancy that they will
find some difficulty in swallowing all
the hard things they have said
about the hateful house, who are al
ways "cornering gold' and making
money dear in order that they may
suck the blood of borrowers all over
the world. The information that
they are not goldbugs is printed in
the Independent, and comes from no
less an authority than President
Andrews, of Brown University.
Worse and worse, Mr. Andrews says
it is a mistake to suppose that the
