ous in two years than in interest on a like amount of bonds for forty years would be, he informs us, that the na- tiona1 banks would probably issue sufficient amount of money to prevent this enormous suffering.
 The national banks are not to be re- quired to redeem their notes in gold, but it is arranged that the United States government shall do so on de- mand; and the government must be content to have the national banks re- imburse it in any kind of legal tender money at the option of the banks.
 We are told that lawful money will be made relatively scarcer than it is now" and that it is intended that un- der the operation of the bill, it will be easier to get gold than lawful mon- ey. Practically all the money in the hands of the people now is silver, cur 4rency in the form of silver certificates, the avowed purpose of the bill is to make it hereafter more difficult to get these than gold. The address says that the monetary commission of the Indianapolis convention has promulgat- ed bill strikingly like the proposition
 
 The commissions report and bill are more bold in the assertions of the pur- poses entertained than is even the proposition of MT. Gage. They propose that silver dollars shall not hereafter be coined: that silver dollars shall be redeemed in gold: that the silver bull lion on hand shall be sold, and suggest that silver dollars may also be melted and sold as bullion. We are assured that the notes of the banks ''cannot fail to be safe," because being based upon all the resources of all the banks is- suing them they are based upon the whole business of the country" Ger tainly, the address continues, mo bank will become liable for the notes issued by aynother bank over which it has no control or supervision; hence this scheme must contemplate the es- tablishment of some central bank au- thority having the absolute control of the issue of all paper money-a great bank trust, pool or syndicate, with powers such as no man has ever before had the audacity to suggest
 The address quotes the Spectator, an English newspaper, as saying. "The great capitalists of America are deter mined to capture free opinion and pre- vent criticism.

Apparently their intention is tc convert the United States into a pow erful oligarchy and then to extend the sway of that oligarchy over other lands. The divine right of kings is tc be succeeded by the divine right of mil. 1ionaires who are to run everything including the American senate and the conscience and intellect of university professors We think that the rict men of America are revealing such $ deadly plot against all genuine public freedom that the opening years of the new century will witness an outburs in the west which will amaze the civil. ized world"
 The address in conclusion says: IT view of the great principles involved and of the doing, so close at hand we urge the people everywhere to arouse themselves and at once to take step. to save themselves and their childrer from the fetters now being openly

If there should be those wht would divide us. let them be summaril, and emphatically rebuked by the peopl, who have none but high and patriotic motives. After the bold declaration O the administration in favor of the golc standard, no sincere binetallist cal ever again by his vote or influence givt aid or encouragement to that party Either the friends of bimetallism or tn advocates of the gold standard. trust and monopolies must succeed. We asl no one to yield any principle, but il this great contest we do appeal to al good men to stand solidly together fo liberty and humanity and strike dowl forever this conspiracy of gold an, monopoly.
