more from our citizens to meet the
given demand and holding over theil
heads a threat of the day when con
dScatlon to meet their obligation:
will stop them bare and defenseless.
The only remedy is to stop falling
prices-the deadliest curse of national
life. Prices will never cease falling
under the single gold standard. The
restoration of biWetallism by this
country will double the basis of our
money system. In time it will doub-
lie the stock Of primary money of the
world-will stop falling prices and
steadily elevate them until they will
regain their normal relation to the
volume Of debts and credits in the
world. Bimetallism will help to
bring about the great hope Of every
social refOrmer, every believer in the
advancement Of the race, who realizes
that the instability of prices has been
the deadly foe Of our toilers and the
foreign interest gatherer. Blmetal-
ism will help to bring the time when
a certain expenditure of human toll
will produce a certain financial result.
Who among the great masses Of our
people in the United States but feels
that his lot would be made better, his
aspiration take new wings if he could
know in the performance of his labor
what would be the price Of his pro-
duct? Is not this purpose worth the
attention of the people as individuals
and worth the attention of political
conventions yet to be held in this
year, 1896? Is not this so great an
end that all who believe in the posi-
bility Of attaining it by the means
proposed can yield something of their
partiSianship both in conventions
and at the polls? 1t is in the hope
that the Masses and the coming con-
ventiOns will have the courage and
generosity to unite for this purpose
that we have dared to offer our views
to the people of the United States;
and because in the past there has
lacked rallying point for the mass
es who hold as we do this belief, we
venture an act trusting that it will
be received IN the same spirit of con-
ciliatiOn, concession and hope with
which we put it forth
We have endeayOred in plain way
to set the matter before the eyes Of
our fellow citizens. We invoke the
union of all men and all parties who
believe that the time has come for
the triumph of justice. 1t is an hour
when the people may speak for them =
selves as individuals and through con-
ventiOns yet to be held. 1t is the
right Of every citizen to indicate his
preference. With this in view, we
offer to the forthcoming convention
and to the people the name of a man
for the presidency of the United
States, whose life in public and in pri-
vate represents those distinguished
virtues which adorn the days and the
deeds Of the earlier time of this re-
public; return to which virtues is
reQuisitefOr the prosperity aud con-
tentment Of the people and the per-
petuity and commanding example of
free institutions. That name is
Henry NJ. Teller-a man of the
the people and for the people. He is
Of no section. His experience and
service, his devotion to common JUS
tiCe and the common cause of his fel-
low-citizehs has been as wide as the
country. We believe that the people
Of the United States have him in
their hearts as he has had their in
terests 10 his purpose through all the
work Of an exalted life.
