call the name of Andrew Jackson and
gather inspiration and encouragement
from his public career. We are en-
gagged in contest very similar to
that in which he played so CONSPICUOUS
and honorable part. During his |
term Of Office the national banks at
tempted TO overawe the representa-
tives of the people and control the !,
government He grappled with it
and overthrow it. Arrayed against
him we're the very classes which have
forced continuance of the gold stand
ard in the United States, in spite of
the almost unanimous protest Of the
people.
at seems that every generation
ducers of wealth and money changers
The latter, conducting their cam
paign in secrecy, fasten themselves
ubon the body polite and prey up
on industry until their hold is broken
by an awakened and indignant pub
lie. The present secretary OF the
trearury, Mr.. Gage, is eminently fit
ted to be the instrument OF the finan-
cers in the efforts to complete the
scheme commenced "a years ago
and continued without interruption
until the present day. He possesses
sublime faith in the superiority of
money over man aud u supreme con
tempt for the rights, the interest and
the opinions of the people at large
He knows that the gold standard was
adopted in the United States without
any party even asking for it; he knows
that for twenty three years after its
adoption no party ever dared to com
mend it; lie knows that in the cam
pmgn OF 1896 the party composed
of boiling Democrats was the only
party which dared to declare the gold
standard blessing; HE KNOWS
THAT AT THE POLLS 80 PER
GENT. OF TIE VOTERS REGIS
TERED THEIR OPPOSITION TO
A SINGLE STANDARD differing
only rs to tile means Of securing bi-
metalsm; he knows that the presi
dent, to whose partiality he ows his
position, sent commission to Eu'
rope to beg other nations to help III
get rid of the gold standard; he knows
that the senate and house, witt
scarcely a dissenting voice, appro
: priated 800, 600 of the peoples mon
ey to pay the expenses of the com
mission while it was seeking relic
from the gold standard: he knows
that France, by joining in the demand
for international bimetalism, con-
demned the gold standard; he knows
that the farmers, the laborers and tt
large extent the manufactures o
England desire international bimet
alsm; he knows that the maintenance
y ! OF the gold standard means unmerite,
+, advantages to the money owning ant

a punishment to the vast majority o
j. the people of this country and Of tn
: civilized world, and yet IN spite 0

only one party advocated the retire
