COOPERATION |GAIKST
GOLD AND MOnLP0lY.
THE ADDRESS SENT OUT RY THE
TWENTY-FIVE P0PULiST SENATORS
AND CONsREsSMEN.

Reasons Why the Peoples Party Should
Appeal to All Who Are Opposed to the
Rule of Gold and Monopoly to Join
Hands in Harmonious Cooperation
Against the Common Enemy.
Our readers will remember the
address appealing for cooperation
of all who are opposed to gold and
monopoly, recently sent out by the
twenty-five Populist Congressmen
and Senators. Since some who
claim to be opposed to the rule of
gold and monopoly have recently
attacked this address we republish
it below so that all may read it
again and see exactly what it says.
1t is as follows:
THE POPULIsT ADDRESS,.
To the People: The conspiracy Of
gold and monopoly is nearing it's
elimination. Every advance it has
made during the last twenty five
years has been by adroit and
stealthy processes. These would
have been impossible if it had not
had its agents and confederates
holding positions of public trust in
the legislative. executive and ju.
dicial branches of the government.
Neither the beneficiaries nor the
tools of this conspiracy have any
particular politics. In name the
last administration was Demo-
cratic. The present administration
is called Republican, but it has in
gloriously practiced and defended
the perfidious policies of its prede-
ceSsOr.
At length the selfish and brutal
interests behind this conspiracy
deem themselves strong enough to
dispense with the caution and du.
plicity hitherto necessary to their
success. The administration boldly
-avows its Endorsement of their
scheme against the liberty and
prosperity of the people. Within a
few weeks it has formulated and
sent to Congress a bill, the leading
purpose of which is, in the words of
the Secretary of the Treasury: "To
commit the country more thor
oughly to the gold standard"
This country has during the past
twenty-four years suffered enough
of the blighting effect OF the gold
standard, so far as fraudulent legis-
lation and executive usurpation
have been able to establish it. It
is now boldly proposed to legalize
what has been done in defiance of
law and to use the power secured
by false pretenses from a long suf-
fering and too trustful people to
put upon this infamous design the
stamp of alleged popular authori-
cation.
In the pursuit of this purpose of
committing the country more thor
oughly to the golc standard the
plan of this administration, as of
the last, is to retire the greenbacks
and other non-interest bearing
paper money Of the government, to
issue Unconstitutional gold bonds,
and to increase the powers, privi-
legts, and profits of national banks.
This achievement would turn over
the duty OF supplying the peoples
money, the very life blood of bust
ness, to selfish, heartless, and
irresponsible foreign gold syndi-

WHAT OF WASHINGTON!

There are certain elements of rugged
grandeur in the soil of Washington that
seem to impart like quality in the ma
ture of many OF her sons. Gifted with
that larger instinct of humanity which
enables the great majority of her people
to interpret Alright their own destiny and
that of their offspring. they threw off the
thrall of corruption from their state, fail
ing not in the supreme hour to do the
right thing at the right time. Struggling
deserters from the two old parties realiz-
ing that in union there ia strength, they
strove by political action to resist the
aggresslons of trusts, monopolies and
their hirelings. parties and castes,"
said Bismarck, "are mutsble-they
perish and new ones arise" The new
party has proven true so far to the trust
reposed in it, and further lease of power
will be extended to it on next Tuesday.
But the old-time leaders of the opposi-
ton, wolves with human intellects, grown
fat and insoent by the spols of riches,
not earned by industry and honest ac-
tivity, are rallying to their support the
class interests of monopoly and hope to
again control the treasure chests of
Washington and loot them OF millions,
as has been done before. The enemy is
numerous, their Golfers full, their forces
disciplined. 10 one deal alone under the
McGraw regime the old Seattle ring stole
eleven million five hundred thousand
dollars, due the state from the sale of tide
lands. This same old gang is now NOV
ing silently, secretly, with caution. and
backed by the active sympathy of the
plutocrats of the nation, plotting for pelf
and power and counter plotting for the
greater struggle in 1900. The peoples
party, led by daring and aggressive men,
skilled in organization, will meet the
hosts of plutocracy next Tuesday. On
their banners is the strange device, "War
to the knife" while in the rear are the
weakened, the timid and faltering time
servers, upon whose flag, low trailing in
the dust. may be seen Trust the old
party once more"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The proposed constitutional amend
ment bestowing suffrage upon women is
too important to be overlooked. The
amendment to be voted upon next Tues
day is as follows:
The elective franchise shall never be
denied anv person on account OF sex, not.
witbstanding anything to the contrary in
this constitution.
The opportunity is here presented to
express the views Of the individual vot-
ers on this question. Many Of the west
ern states are falling into line and ac-
cording to women who desire to vote the
right of representation in the government.
The Jeffersonan idea that all just gov
eminent comes from the consent OF the
governed is growing one.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1898-11-03

The following is the concluding por-
tons of an unpublished editorial to be
set up in the Oregonian Office November
8, 1898:
"As the Oregonian had previously
pointed out, there were no high-class ora
tors or editors in the state Of Washington
to champion the cause of sound money,
and that if her citizens hoped to pattern
after Oregon in the maintenance of the
single gold standard, the plain people
would have TO take Il hand against a dol
lar designed only to swindle creditors.
The cause, however, left in the hands OF
cowardly incompetents, has again been
set back, and Washington placed in the
fusion column indefinitely"

FARMERS, HOW DO YOULIKE ITf

The true attitude of the managers OF
the goldbug party toward the farmer and
the working classes in general, is shown
by an expression in the Republic last
week. That paper remarked that GER
tain man might be q shining light on a
farm, but had no more qualifications for
a position at the court house than hot
tentot en- costume had for attending a
party in lady's parlor.
That paper meant just what it said.
and if it had it's way no farmer, however
successful in the management Of his own
business, would be permitted to have the
honor Of trsnsacting county business.
Such sentiments should and will be re-
scented by our farmers. who form the
bulk Of our population, and have made
the county what it is.

debts public and private. With ire
coinage Of silver the mortgsged farmer
who now barely pays taxes and interest
can exchange his surplus products for
silver bullion, have it coined free of
charge into legal tender dollars, pay his
taxes and interest and have balance
equal to the amount of his taxes and liz
terest to apply on the principal of his
debt. Free coinage of silver would dou Bile
the debt paying power of the farmers

coinage OF silver is on election day to do
your duty at the polls and cast your vote

The republican local speiler last week
had much to say about Brooks and asks
"Brer Brooks il he has or has not ridden
on pass" They don't dare to say that
he has. but are, We suppose, asking for
information. We will therefore take the
liberty of informing Brer Sperry that he
does not. and furthermore that the said
gentleman will make any charitable il

that he has ridden on a pass in the past
