Bryan, dated Jacksonville, Fla:
My dear sir: l enclose pledge for
monthly contributions to the cause OF
bimettalism until October, 1900, to-
gether with the installment for this
month. I most cordially endorse the
plan adopted by the committee, and am
confident it will result in the collection
of large fund for the circulation OF bi.
metallic literature.
Since our fight is in the interest OF
the "plain people''-to use Lincoln
phrase-or the common people1-tc
borrow bible term-we must appeal &c
them for the means of carrying on the
contest.
The financiers can contribute large
sums to support the gold STANDARD, be
cause the monopoly of money gives them
great pecuniary profit. Surely, you car
appeal with confidence to the millions
who suffer from rising dollar and fall
ing prices.
Having brought freedom to Cuba
the American people can renew the
struggle for the financial indepence o
the United States.
