TRYING TO RALLY.
THE GOLD DEMOCRATS ISSUE AN.
OTHER ADDRESS.
tEy Telegraph to virginian-Pllot,

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 5.-The Exec
utive Committee of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, Charles Tracey,
chairman, issued an address tonight to
the National Democracy, the Gold
Democrats of the United States. urging
them to avert disaster from the coun-
try by defeating Bryan. The address
says that Mr.. Bryan is pledged by his
own declarations to destroy the gold
standard to effect the free coinage of
silver at the artificial rate OF 16 TO l,
to the expulsion of both gold and silver
from the country by a resumption of
an issue of greenbackS, to the deStruc-
ton of judicial independence and reVo-
luton in the judicial tenure. TO a sys-
TEN of direct legislation which trans
fers lawmaking to the ballot box and
destroys our representative institutions
and TO a change OF the veto power from
the executive to the ballot box, remov
ing one of the checks provided by the
Constitution and unbalancing the sys-
TEN created by that instrument.
This assault upon the three co-ordi-
nate branches of our Government. if it
succeed, will revolutionize and destroy
the whole system. What will follow is
already visible in his appeals to class
hatred, envy and prejudice. Since 1896
the National Democratic party has pro-
noted tho purpose which then justified
it's existence. We have urged and ac
complished Legislation to strengthen the
gold standard. The gold standard has
transformed us from a debtor to a cred
itor nation. and has made the United
States the clearing house of the COM
mercia world. 1t has increased the
consuming power of the people by in
dustrial restoration and has added
value TO the farm crop of the country
and to the land which produces them.
The further effect of the gold standard
/ is the ready employment of American
| labor and payment of its wages in the
/ best money Of the world.
The destruction of that standard, the
| degradation of the public credit. the
| paralysis of industry. the restriction
! of commerce. increased cost of produc-
| ton and descent to paper basis, are
| the disasters threatened by the election
| of Mr.. Bryan. and he is pledged to in
! hct them on us as soon as he gets
| the power"
