soiif W ontronched against resistance ana
,.nrieny stated. this Is a part OF the
outrageous scheme We do not arrGign
any particular party on par isan grounds'
We arraign "A system and denounce con,
spiracy. We condemn, individuals ana
organizations that support this system
and aid the conspiracy. The party that
is the mouthpiece and agent or TINS con-
sp'racy Is just as daneerous und'r one
name as under another. In every cam
paign the gold syndicate and all the ali
trusts and monopolies combine. They Sc
lcct the convention 8 they desire 20 con-
troll. they elect the candidates that they
have selected Therefore those who are no.
their agents. and would not submit 10
their tyrannOus spoliation should strenu-
ously oppose the allied combination OF
gold and rnon0rolv.

and harmonious than ever. and. further.

7 mere are but two sides 10 this mighty
and porfcntiOus conflict All OF those or
whatever party who favor the cOnspira-
cy OF gold and monopoly who favor IN
dustrial slavery. which spreads poverty
and destruction should be on one SIDE.
and all OF those n whatever party VINO
oppose this deadly DESIGN who love truth
and right. who love their country. who
love their homes and 1rcsides and who
believe In the sacred principles declared
by jefferson and reasserted by Jackson
and Lincoln. should be on the other Side.
on this side We sOlidlv stand. Then let
US maintaining at all times party integ-
rity. invite the harmonious cooperation
OF all seeking the same end. The Omln-
Gus dangers threatening the institutions
OF the Republic make this the highest
duty.
"The line OF battle IS clearly drawn. We
cannot avoid the conflict N we wou'd.
Therefore. let us appeal 10 all ara 10 an
organizations and parties tnal oppose
this conspiracy that oppose the govern
ment by trusts. that oppose and will not
ubmit 20 the deeDO'Sm or sOrdid wealth..
10 come 10 the rescue. Patriotism and
manhood are not dead. 4 large part Of
the American people realize the wrongs
and comprehend the dangers. and are
ready and anxious 10 fight This system 10
tho end The spirit Of '16 Is abroad In
the land and the friends OF liberty every
where are awaiting the patriotic call TO
fight a common battle against a common
foe Let this be done and we can crush
every traitor as did the men Of the Amer
lean revolution: let this Ice done and we
shall drive every Tory to ignominious de-
feat Let this he done and We shall re-
establish what Is almost overthrOWn-a
government Of the people, by the peop.e
and for the people.
