Here are nine issues which are
not only important in themselves,
but are now prominently before the
people. Are these reforms worth
securingf These questions were
submitted to the people at the last
election, but they we're NOT settled,
and will not be settled until they are
settled right.
The Conspiracy Of Gold and noaopoiy.
The Republican party is trying to
commit the country more thoroughly
to the gold standard. Even now il
is endeavoring to secure legislative
Endorsement of the policy OF paying
all coin obligations in gold. II pre-
tends to be much concerned about
national honor and the public credit.
The leaders of the party know that
debtor, whether . public debtor or .
private debtor, meets oil the require
ments of the law, moral as we'll As
statutory, when he discharges his
obligation according to the terms Of
the contract. They know that all
through the war the government, and
private debtors as we'll, paid coin OBJ
legations in gold, although gold was
worth three cents on the dollar less
than Silver. And yet, these leaders
would accuse Abraham Lincoln of
dishonor rather than incur the dis
pleasure of 1.-The Wall street mag
mates, who now control the financial
policy of the Republican party.
These leaders know that il the
Federal Government declares its
purpose to pay all coin obligations
in gold, its example will be used as
an argument to force gold contracts
up on State and Municipal Govern
ment, and upon private citizens.
These leaders know that if their
scheme is carried out, the very ex-
istence of these gold obligations will
be urged as q reason why bimetal-
ism should not be restored.
If the Republicans obtain control
of the Senate and House in the cleo
ton of 1898, there is no doubt, that
they will, by law, surrender the con-
tract right which the government
now has, to pay coin obligations in
silver (of which We are large produc-
ars) and bind the nation to pay in
gold Ian appreciating metal, the
production Of which is largely con-
trolled by England0
The Republican party will, if il
obtains control Of Congress in 1898.
abandon the system which gives the
debtor the option, and substitute Q
new system, which, permits the
money lenders to choose the coin OF
payment, and second, allows them to
, Increase the purchasing power OF
the dollars which they demand, to
the impoverishment Of the wealth
producers of the world.
