It's up TO the People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president Of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
Of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush.
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe,
The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are, not Of spontaneous
growth They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollarsl Beginning with the dis.
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng.
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events. Il
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire..
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transporting, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictatorS,
is far more degrading slavery thar
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6r-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions Of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail t
look beyond their plausible decep
tons. Read the Enquirer and yor
win be able to discern the truth anc
combat falsehood. A victory fol
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era o
greatest good to greatest number.
