The oligarchx.

Four hundred and twenty million dol

Secretary Cages tables, of McKinley's
militarism and imperial policy, aud that

as much to support such royal iuxuries in
this country as it does In the old mon.

business, and no one can make reason.
able guess of the cost of that which is a
natural branch of the Philippine conqest.
The American people have paid five
billions towards extinguishing the public
debt of two billions which resulted from
the civil war and it began to grow anew
under Cleveland, who aided the Repub-
lican party to fasten the gold standard on
the country, and found it necessary to
increase the public debt two hundred and
sixty-two million dollars in his fnancier-
ing in the interest of that increase under
the direction of Wall street.
Secretary Gage has added two hundred
millions to the public debt, and an in
crease of taxes of about thirty per cent
has been added to the annual bill of ex-
penses of government in getting the new
policy of imperialism and militarism
inaugurated.
Several thousand of our young men
have been killed and died of disease in

empire and making the United States
world power" after the manner of the
nionarchies of Europe. At the pace Mr..
Mckinley has set we will soon have
public debt aggrega,ing many billions,
and impossible of payment, which will be
a constant burden on the industry of the
country. Such public debt is what the
banker class most desire, on which they
can organize banks and issue currency
guaranteed by the government, and per-
petuate their despotic control of the
money and business of the country, and
loan credit ad libitum. By that means a
plutocracy would be established which
would dominate and control the govern
ment, and exercise greater despotic
power than any monarchy in Europe. In
truth such plutocracy is already ill.,
augurated.
With the gold standard enabling them
to call for gold to pay all obligations, and
national debt by which they could use
the credit and wealth of the nation to
bank on, moneyed oligarchy would be
built up the like of which the world never
before witnessed.
With this object in view the money
class are laboring increasingly and have
been since 1862. when their first advance
was made. Almost the entire press of
the country has been bought or subsidized
by them and the cry against silver by
that means has been kept np The gem

be death blow to the gold conspiracy,

Free Coinage Of silver.

John Prentiss Poe said in his great
speech at Music Hall in Baltimore, on
Monday night, October s.:
"Should silver be restored without the
cooperation of foreign nations to the
place which for centuries and until only
Fl years ago it held side by side with gold
as the standard money of the world, and
the gold of the comparatively small num-
Der of our people should debreci0te little
toward s.the point from which, after the
debasement of silver, it abbyeciafed, the
injury to them would be more than COM
pensated by the instantaneous relief to
the great masses of the people which the
opening of our minis to silver upon equal
terms with gold would occasion.
Business would soon accommodate itself
to the change, and with the return of a
real and permanent prosperity to the
homes and firesides of the millions upon
millions of the producers of our national
wealth the money Democrats who seem
care nothing for human liberty if only
they can hold on to their gold will find
that their dismal forebodings of national
disaster were specters coniured up by
their groundless fears -

truthful as they are rare in the mouth Of
Maryland Democrats. Mr. Poe sees
clearly that opening the minis to free
coinage of silver would have the same in
huence on business and prices that adding
to the gold production an amount equal
to the amount of silver at coinage value,
annually produced. It would permanently
increase the volume of the worlds money,
strengthen the hands of productive indus
try by raising the price of property and
relax the grip of the money class upon
the threats of the people. Every farmer,
every mechanic, every merchant, every
manufacturer, severy 1aborer would be
benefited. and the banking and money
class would not be injured, but would
have less power over property. This is
the whole silver question in a nut she'll
1t would add more money to the worlds
primary money" and benefit the whole
civilized race; but it would weaken the
power of the moneyed oligarchy. and this
is the cause of the whole hubbub we have
heard about, the silver "heresy," the
silver danger" the threat" to our
financial and national Credit" This
whole cutlery against silver money is the
ver!est humbug ever gotten up by small
combination of money mongers, and by
a persistent iteration and reiteration
through their subsidized press they have
succeeded in deceiving tens of thousands
of honest but ignorant people. AS rule
our people are more ignorant on financial
matters. or the science of money, than on
any other economic subject.

Bryan in Maryland.

The popular ovation which
greeted Bryan on his tour through
Maryland this week far exceeded
in the spontaneous outburst of en-
thusiasm that ever accorded any
other man, public or private, cit
izen or stranger, by the people of
the State. Crowds everywhere the
train stopped, if but for a minute,
night or day, were awaiting this
popular idol. Everyone was
drawn into the popular tide and
swept along with it. The old gray
boards and party leaders whose
power had been so long recognized
by the masses. and who hung back
and endeavored to give Bryan the
marble heart, up to but few
months ago, were swept into and
borne along with the resistless
popular tide. They saw they had
lost their power over the masses of
the people, and it was choice of
being left alone or bow to the in
vincible conqueror.
Music Hall, Baltimore, where
Bryan spoke, was packed in fifteen
minutes after the doors were opened
at five o'clock; and the streets for
squares were crowded with throngs
of people moving to the point where
Bryan was to appear before and
speak to the multitude of surging,
struggling humanity. The like
has never before been witnessed in
Baltimore. s lch a popular flood
as this to Bryan, the bridegroom of
the peoples cause, has never be-
fore occurred. And the trend is
the same everywhere. The popu-
lar heart has turned Bryanward.
The plutocratic policy of the
Republican party, cajoled by the
English gold bank International
money trust, and the usurpations
of Mckinley Hanna have alarmed
and aroused the people to the
danger which threatens the repub-
lies existence by the empire, and
they are going to overwhelm the
conspirators who are plotting
against their liberties. The popu-
lar avalanch that is to bury the
enemies of popular government
beneath it on the sixth of Novem-
Der, is every day gaining force.
There has never before appeared
such a popular calm on the surface
in any Presidential campaign,
while beneath that calm surface
there is a pulsing, throbbing deter
mination to overthrow the deceiv-
ers and betrayers of the honest
masses.

Death of John Sherman.

John Sherman died at his pala-
tial residence in Washington on
Tuesday morning at $40 O'Clock,
aged II years.
John Sherman filled large space
in the political history Of the coun-
try for 43 years. His political his
tory is clouded as that of no other
public man of his time filling the
responsible positions that he did.
And in the language of the poet he
has gone down the vile earth from
which he sprung, unwept, un-
honored and nnsung.
No public man of his time has
been the direct cause of so much
injury to the laboring and wealth
producing masses as John Sher-
man, and a blot is lefton his public
life that no biographer, however
partial, can ever successfully
remove.

Presidential Tickets.

There are six presidential tickets in the
field: the two old party tickets, Democrat
and Republican, the Prohibition, the
Social Democracy ticket, the Union Re-
form, and the Middle -of-the-road Popu
list ticket.
William Mckinley heads the Repnb-
iican ticket and the party stands for a
combination of capital under corporations
enjoying special privileges granted by
the government, State and nation, leading
to plutocratic form of government
with colonial or foreign dependencies.
The Democratic ticket is headed by
William Jennings Bryan. The party as
at present constituted is composed ofthree
political elements, or parties, the old
strict construction constitutionalists and
non-progression, anti-reformers, the Pop
ulists, of Declaration of independence,
progressive Jefferson democracy school,
and the Silver Republican party who
disagree with the gold-bug tenets of that
party and are in favor of bimetal, or the
free coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio.
The Prohibition party has only one
principle as platform, the prohibition
or abolition of the liquor traffic, John G
Wooliey for President.
The Middle-ofthe-road party is headed
by Wharton Barker as presidential can
didate and is a split or part of the original
People'ssparty which refused to join with
the reformed Democratic party which
was organized by the Chicago national
convention in 1896. This party stands
for government ownership and control of
all natural monopolies.
The Social Democracy is headed by
Eugene v. Debs and stands for public
ownership; first, for government owner.
ship and management of all natural mo-
nopolies or public utilities and second,
for a cooperative commonwealth or the
naturalization of all industries. This
party claims that the future is theirs.
The Union Reform party is new party,
or rather the newest party. 1t has but a
single idea, which is direct legislation or
the Initiative and referendum. Seth H.
Ellis is its candidate.
It will be seen that these parties are all
opposed to the cardinal principles of the
Republican party. which represent wealth
and the aggregation of wealth in the
hands of few who shall control the gov
eminent, extend its domain by conquest
and promote commercialism as the chief
object for which government is organized.
The question of the future is the COM
ing together of the jarring elements of
these dissenting parties to the aristocratic
and plutocratic principles which have
become the essence, the embodiment of
the Republican party. All of those dis
cordant elements composing the other
parties are in deadly conflict with the
anti-democratic principles of the Repub-
lican party.
1t is only question of time when the
danger to the rights of man which turks
behinds populsr party name will appear
so imminent and threatening that all of
its opponents will be forced for common
safety to join in one party for its
overthrow.
