now" and that it is intended that IN
der the operation of the bill it vii
be ''easier to get gold than Lawful
money!" Practically all the money
in the hands OF the people now, as Tx
secretary distinctly admits, is silver,
chief; in the form OF silver certif
Gates. The avowed purpose Of the bill
is TO make it hereafter more dithcul
to get these than gold.
In view of the great principles in
volved and Ct the danger so close a
hand, we urge the people everywhere
to arouse themselves and al once tc
take >t.ps to save themselves and thell
children from the fetters now being
openly forged to bind them. In re
cent years there have been number
of instances Of congressional districts
where the advocates OF gold anc
monopoly were largely outnum oerec
by their opponents, and whsre, never
theless, by q failure 10 unite and ac
together, friends OF the gold stsndar5
have been successive. Thus, as ths
result of personal Or partisan wran
gle the cause of truth and justice ha;
been overshado ed, the interest OF hu
rnanity ignored and the greatest gooc
10 the government subordinated to ar
Iisnoble strife. We appeal to you tc
let this not be the case again. Ool
only danger is in division. II we are
in earnest we must have harmony
amongst ourselves. II there should
be those who would divide US, letth
be summary and emphaticauy re
buked by tine people, who have none
but high and patriotic motives.
After the bold declaration OF the
of the administration in favor Of TIE
gold standard no sincere bimetallls'
can ever again, by his vote or inhu
ence, give aid or encouragement tc
the Republican party.
The issue is joined; We cannot avoid
Ii. il We would. E.Lh,r the friends OF
bimetallism or the advocates OF toe
old standard, trusts and monopolies,
must succeed VINO is not for US Is
against US. We ask no man to aoan'
don his party Or change his politics;
we ask no one to yield any principle
bat in this great contest we do appeal
10 all good men to stand solidly to
eether for liberty and humanity and
strike down forever this conspiracy OF
gold and monopoly
James K Jones,

The Popullsl address covers the
well known position OF the party
on this question, and says:
the conspiracy Of gold and mo-
nopoIy is nearing its elimination.
Every advance It has made during the
last twenty-five years has be7n by
