the conventions they desire to con-
troll /; they elect the candidates that
they have selected. OF course they
control them sitter they are elected
Therefore. those who are not their
agents and who would not submit
to their tryannous spoliafion should
strenuousiy oppose the allied COM
bInation OF gold and monopoly.
The only hope Of the enemy is to
divide Us. Therefore, let US be
more united and harmonious than
ever, and further let US organize
without delay a vigorous campaign
in every State and Congressional
district, county and precinct.
| There are but two sides TO this
mighty and por,entous conflict. All
OF those OF whatever party w no IA
vor the conspiracy OF gold and mo-
nopoly, who favor industrial sla-
very, widespread poverty, and ma
tional destruction, should be one
side and all OF those of whatever
party who oppose this deadly de-
| sign, who love truth and right,
who love their country, who love
their homes and flresides, and who
believe in the sacred principles de-
clared by Jefferson and reasserted
by Jackson and Lincoln, should be
on the other side. On this side we
solidly stand. Then let us, main
tanning at all times party integrity,
invite the harmonious cooperation
OF all seeking the same end. The
ominOus dangers threatening the
Institutions OF the republic make
this the highest duty. The line of
battle is clearly drawn. We can
not avoid the conflict if we would.
Therefore let us appeal to all citi-
zens and to all organizations and
parties that oppose this conspiracy
that oppose a government OF the
trusts, by the trusts, and for the
trusts, that oppose and will not
submit to the despotism Of sordid
Wealth-tO come to the rescue. Pa
triotism and manhood are not dead.
A large part Of the American people
realize the wrongs and compre-
bend the dangers, and are ready
and anxious to fight this system to
the end. The spirit of '76 is abroad
in the land and the friends of lib
erty everywhere are awaiting the
patriotic call to fight a common
battle against common foe. Let
this be done and we can crush ev-
cry traitor as did the men of the
American Revolution; let us be
done and we shall drive every Tory
to ignOminious defeat. Let this be
done and we shall re-establish what
is almost overthrow: A govern
ment of the people, by the people,
and for the people.
