time the American people should recall
the name of Andrew Jackson and gather
inspiration and encouragement from his
public career. We are engaged today
in contest very similar to that in which
he played so conspicuous a part. Dur
ing his term of Office the national banks
attempted to overawe the representa-
tives of and control the government. He
grappled with them and overthrow them.
Arrayed against him were the classes
which have forced a continuance of the
gold standard in the United States, in
spite of the almost unanimous protest
of the people
1T seems that every generation pre-
sents combat between the producers
of wealth and the money changers. The
latter, conducting their campaign in
secrecy, fasten themselves upon the
body polite and prey upon industry
until their hold is broken by an awaken
ed and indignant public.
The present secretary of the treasury.
Mr.. Gage, is eminently fitted to be the
instrument of the.fnanciers in their eff

that France, by joining in the demand
for international bimetalliSm condemn
ed the gold standard; he knows that the
farmers, the laborers and to large ex-
tent the manufacturers of England de-
sire international bimetallism; he knows
that the maintenance of the gold stand
ard means unmerited advantage to the
money owning and the bondholding
classes; is undeserved punishment to the
vast majority of the people of this coun-
try and of the civilized world, and yet,
in spite of his knowledge of all these
facts, he is deliberately planning to,
fasten the gold standard permanently
upon the people of the United States.
Not content with advocating a policy
which places the destinies of 10000, 900
of free men in the hands of foreign
financiers and permits few London
bankers to control our standard money,
he now proposes to give to the national
banks full and complete control of the
paper money of the nation.
In November 1896 six and half mill
lions Of electors voted against the re-

tirement of the greenbacks and seven
millions supported a platform which
was silent upon the subject. The Re-
publican candidate for president in his
letter of acceptance pledged the Re-
publican party to keep in circulation,
and as good as gold, all the silver and
paper moneys now included in the cur
rency of the country, while only one
party advocated the retirement of green
backs, and that party polled less than
per cent of the total vote
Mr. Gage knows these facts, and vet,
in spite of that knowledge, he is seek
ing to organize a money trust, more
dangerous, not only to the industries,
but to the liberties of the people, than
all the other trusts combined. At such
time and under such circumstances
the memory of the hero of New Orleans
ought to be invoked in every state, coun-
ty and hamlet, to arouse the people to
a sense of their danger.
Twelve months have ELAPSED since we
last celebrated this day, and every
month has borne witness to the failure
Of Republican policies to bring relief
to the people. Just after the passage of
the Dingley bill our opponents were
boisterous in their announcement that
prosperity had returned. The Repub-
licans were given full swing. They
framed such a law as their hearts de-
sired and their brains devised, and what
is the result? Read the daily papers and
you will find the items of news arranged
under two heads-the formation of
trusts and the reduction of wages. A
few days ago I picked up a copy of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat and found
under the innocent and unpretentious
headlines "Weavers and Spinners," sew
en- notices of wage reductions from four
of the six New England states-one of
them from Lewiston, Me-, the home of
Mr.. Dingley, the father of the Dingley
bill.
Is this the result which they promised
would follow the opening of the mills
instead of the minis? If our enemies
boast that they have buried bimetallsm,
we point to these wage reductions as the
weeping willows which have sprung ur
about it's temporary tomb.
Why is not some court asked to ell
join the employers from uniting to-
gether to reduce wages? Can combina-
lions among the employers be innocent
if cooperation among miners is a crime
In most of the factories can be found
transparencies and banners promising
good times. The mill owners would
probably dispute the right of court of
equity to interfere, and plead as a de-
Tense that the operatives have an ade-
quate remedy in the ballot.
A few days ago an organization of mill
owners tried to justify a reduction of
wages by laying the blame upon the
laws passed in Massachusetts for the
protection of the operatives. Their
complaint is significant because it en-
phasizes the reactionary tendency of
