the American farmer and laborer, must
address himself. And in the solution of
that problem he will find the present goal
of patriotism.
The business man who does not inquire
into the politics of his bookkeeper is
asked by the supporters of Mr.. Bryan to
allow partisan politics to be injected into
the circulating medium through which he
carries ON his business. He refused in
1896, as he will refuse, believe, in 1900,
to impute either Democracy or Republi-
canism to the dollar. He will say that
it is not political question, and that it
should not be made such Asking him
self where he shall seek guidance in the
casting Of his ballot, he, like the laborer
and the farmer, looks out upon prosper
ity unprecedented. He sees trade follow
Ing the flag all around the world, and
new markets opening to him under new
national responsibilities. He realizes. as
a business man, that these responsible
ties must be grappled with and adjusted
on business basis. No policy Of evasion
or retreat can commend itself to him.
Yet. into the field of partisan discussion
he finds these responsibilities dragged,
hhC Tue uoldTc lEOLi cunning ioohi,
by the politicians who seek his vote. And,
like the farmer and the laborer, he finds
his next national ballot invested with
unique importance.
What will be the reply Of the American
patriot, who is now asked to believe that
his home and his pocketbook are staked
on the next turn of the ballot, that a
wrong decision spells ruin. and that he
must decide issues Of such moment as
were never before submitted to the Amer
lean electorate?
Bryan's election appears to
me impossible. Good citizens,
irrespective of party, should vote for Nc
Kinley in November. That it is the duty
Of patriots to do so I have no doubt.
The safety of the American republic Is
not menaced by a DOGGY. crowned with an
imperial diadem Of straw. The cry Of
imperialism is simply a pretext of the
Democratic leaders to save themselves
from the fatal blunder they made in
1896, the blunder Of dragging the dollar
to the polls and endeavoring to degrade
it. Imperialism is not the paramount
issue. despite all efforts to make it SO.
Now, as in 1896. the real issue is the
Silver Danger. That Is the peril threat
ening this country, not the imaginary
evils attendant on the acquisition Of new
territory, which was the inevitable re-
suit Of war for which the shriekers
against Imperialism were largely respon.
sible. The only peril now threatening
the United States is ruin and retrogres-
sion under silver, the turning back of
the wheels Of progress and prosperity
to the standards of China and Mexico,
and the abandonment Of our position as
the greatest country in the civilized
world.
Shall We go forward or shall we turn
back? That is the question for the vot-
ers in November. Under Mckinley we

Monopolies in this country are due
more to the patent system than any 9TH
or cause; the average trust could not mo-
nopolize its product, and it will not try.
II it does, there is the same old remedy
which we free American citizens, who
are supposed to have something to say
in the election of our State legislatures,
can apply. We Gun pass State laws for
the regulation Of those monopolies. And,
By the way, speaking of politics, the Re
publican national platform declares
against monopolies and would propose
national legislation against them.
Gov. Roosevelt, singularly clear
headed public man on civic questions, let
me tell you, sees the point. He would
legislate against monopolies. l firmly
believe that this legislation will come,
and with it other laws intended to /. su-
late industrial corporations, good dc.
as railroads and banks are regulated now.
Why not? When the trusts really get TO
going SO that they themselves know what
they can do, and so that they won't be

tive, experimental stage most OF then

Advice to Gold Democrats:
What has happened since November,
1885, to warrant reversal of the judg-
ment which the American people then
pronounced at the polls? Under what
conditions have we entered on the pres
ent presidential campaign, and what, in
this regard, is the duty of patriotic citi-
Gems. Independent Of partisan affiliation
To the Democrat who voted for Palmer
and Buckner, as well as to the Democrat
who voted for Mckinley four years ago,
the situation to-day presents peculiar
embarrassments. Preferring to act with
his party, when possible. the patriotic
Democrat must, nevertheless, answer the
call of duty, no matter in what direction
1t leads him.
The second and supreme trial of the
great financial issue, which never should
have been dragged into partisan politics,
will be made at the polls in November,
1900 This test will. l believe, be con-
elusive. What are the conditions under
which it is to be made?
There is in the United States at the
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-09-20

present day unparalleled prosperity, in
which every citizen has right to share.
Ii any citizen is prevented from sharing
in that prosperity, he is the victim Of
conditions which cannot be righted by
the election of Bryan, strongly as he may
be tempted to trust in that remedy. I'm
der the gold standard we have become
the leading creditor nation, and we are
financing the world. We have produced
three great crops in succession, and We
are feeding Europe. We have had three
years Of unexcelled manufacturing in
dustry, and we are finding prompt and
generous market all over the world. The
American farmer, the American laborer
and the American business man were
never as prosperous as they are to-day.
1t is by their SURFACES that this presiden-
tial election must be decided. In what
direction do their interests lie?
The American farmer is selling for
37h cents bushel corn which it costs
him Is cents to produce. His wheat and
cotton. his beef and pork are selling at
profitable prices. He Is spending his
money in Injuries and enjoying himself.
He is riding in railroad trains, and, as he
looks from the car windows over the
bountiful harvests. he is taking new
view not only Of his native land, which
was never fairer or happier, but is also
thinking Of his new markets and new
possessions" across the seas.
The laborer Is to-day receiving more
wages than he ever received before, and
he is receiving them in currency that is
good all over the world. In many in
stances, undoubtedly, there must be a
readjustment of wages, and the sporadic
strikes now reported in various manufac-
turing centers point probably to the be-
ginning of this REIMBURSEMENT. In my opin-
ion, these and kindred difficulties will be
safely and speedily settled.
Now. can any sane man tell me how
the laborer will help his condition, or the
solution Of the problems so vital to him.
by voting to debase our standard Of value
and thereby reducing his own wages?
What has labor to hope from Bryan,
ostensibly the friend Of the dissatisfied,
the champion of the aggrieved, and the
chosen candidate of all the long-haired
reformers in the United States? Does
not the supreme salvation Of labor de-
pend, after all, upon preserving our
standard Of value, upon the non-partisan
regulation of trusts. and upon the appli-
cation to those great commercial aggre-
cations. which are so peculiarly a pro-
duct of this age. Of system Of license
and taxation? Is it not idle to denounce
the trust as an evil, a menace to the ma
tional welfare? Is not the trust a nat
ural and essential development of our
time? A quarter Of a century ago the
word Corporation" implied an inherent
reproach in the minds of exactly those
citizens who to-day regard the trust,
which is the Incorporation of corpora
tons, with the same disfavor. Yet it is
to the solution Of the trust problem that
the American business man, as well as
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-09-20

go forward. under Bryan we turn back.
The coming test of the silver question
at the polls must, in all human proba.
bility, be the final one. The will of the
voters twice registered will not be the
third time disputed. Each year that we
preserve our present money standard
gives it additional security. The Amer
lean people do not like experiments with
their currency, their school houses, their
churches or their savings banks. A re.
versal Of the popular verdict Of 1886
would mean reversal Of all the achieve
ments that make up our national pros
perity. Bryan's election would mean that
the sovereign people had decreed that our
laborers shall be paid in silver, while
our foreign debts must still be paid in
gold.
Convinced as I am that the financial
question is the paramount issue in No
vember, 1900. as it was in November,
1896, it is worth while for Democrats
who supported Mckinley, as l did, four
years ago, to ask what are the issues
upon which onr party could have appeal
ed to the American people with fair pros
poets of success, and what we can con-
tend for in future contests, after this
economic and financial question is finally
settled. To my mind these define them
selves MS reform in governmental admin
istration, economy in governmental ex-
penditure, the taxation and regulation Of
oppressive trusts and combinations, and
the immediate enactment of Just and
honest scheme Of colonial government.
These would have been issues upon which
every patriot could have been honestly
asked to vote. why should we NOT SET
