law, and to use the power secured by
false pre,enses from a long suffering and
too trustful people to put upon this infa'
nous design the stamp of alleged popu-
purpose of committing the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard, the plan
Of this administration is to retire the
greenbacks and other non interest bearing
paper money of the government, then
issue interest bearing gold bonds and
increase the powers. privileges and profits
of national banks. THIS achievement
would turn over the duty of supplying
the peoples money, the very life blood of
business, to a selfish, heartless and ire
sponsible gold syndicate and it's Ameri-
can agents and allies.
Briefly stated. this is part of an out
rageous scheme. We do not arraign any
political party on partisan grounds. We
srraign a system and danounce a con-
spiracy. The party that is the agent and
mouthpiece of this conspiracy Is inst as
dangerous under one name as under
another. In every campaign the
gold syndicate and all the allies, trusts
and nonopolies combine. They select
the convention they desire to control.
They elect the candidates they have Sc
lected. OF course they control them af-
ter they are elected. Therefore, those
who are not their agents. and who would
not submit to their tyrannous spoilstion,
should strenuously oppose the allied COM
mission of gold and monopolies. The
only hope of the enemy is to divide us.
There are but two sides to this mighty
and portentious conflict. All of those
of whatever party who favor the con-
spiracy of gold and monopoly who ia.
vor individual slavery, widespread pow
erty and national destruction. should be
on one side; and all of those of whatever
party who oppose this deadly design,
who love truth and right, who love their
country, who love their homes and fire.
sides, and who believe in the sacred prin-
ciples of Jefferson and Jackson and Lin
coin, should be on the other side. On
this side We solidly stand. Then let us,
maintaining at all times party integrity,
invite the harmonious cooperation of
all seeking the same ends.
"The ominous dangers threatening the
institutions of the republic make this the
highest duty. The line Of battle is
clearly drawn. We cannot avoid the
conflict if we would. Therefore let us
appeal to all citizens and to all organiza-
tons and parties that oppose this con-
spiracy-that oppose government OF the
