today gave out the following
TO the Bimctallists OF The United States:
Conscious that millions OF loyal hearts are
saddened by temporary defeat l beg to
offer word OF hope and encouragement.
No cause has supporters more brave earn
os, and devoted than those who have cs-
pouscd the cause OF bimetalism They
| have fought from conviction aud have
! fought with all the zeal which conviction
| inspires. Even this will prove whether they
are right or wrong. Having donu their
duty as they saw it. they have nothing to
regret. The republican candidate has been
exalted as the advance agent Of prosperity.
If his policy brings prosperity 20 the
American people. those who supported him
Will share in that prosperity IT. ON the
other hand, his policies prove an injury
to the people generally. those OF his sup
portcrs who do not beloue to the office
holding class or to the privileged class
viii suffer in common with those who OPP
posed him.
The friends Of bimetalism have not
been vanquished, they have simply been
overcome. They believe that the gold stand
ard is a conspiracy Of the money chlnscrs
against the welfare of the human race
and until convinced OF thoir error, they
Will continue the warfare against it,
The contest has been waeel this year
