Fusion for the Rescue of the
Republic.

The forces hostile to the gold trust
are getting themselves in solid line
for the coming and final conflict with
that monetary monopoly. Last week
caucus at which every silver Re-
publican and Populist in Congress.
including Senator'S and Representa-
tives, was present. took formal action
on silver fusion The sentiment
was unanimously in favor Of fusing
with the Democrats in local elections
this year, looking to general fusion
in the presidential election of 1900.
There was not a single dissent to this
programme and the sense of every
silver Republican and Populist pres.
ent was that William j Bryan was the
logical presidential candidate.
In this early movement for united
action of all the elements opposed TO
the monetary despotism of the gold
standard is afforded the most en-
couraging hope tina: the Republic
will be rescued from the plutocratic
oligarchy that has gained control Of
it. In this great struggle involving
the very life of our free institutions,
Democrats, free silver Republicans
aud Populists will be found united,
mass composed Of millions of free.
intelligent and patriotic citizens
whom the miuions cf the money
power will have the effrontery to
stigmatize as anarchists, reprdiators
and enemies of social order
| this crucial contest the kind OF
money we shall have is not 80 much
the iseue as the kind of government
we shall leave to those who shall
come after US. The struggle is not
merely against an unjust and oppres
sive standard of value. but its gen
eral and higher object is for the scor.
rection and suppression of the mani
fold abuses. corruptions and usurpa-
tions in public affairs which Nc
Kinleyism and Hanuaism stand for,
and which. if not arresed, will change
free government into a money des-
potism.-BelIefonte, Pa Democratic
