Ese “The monetary commission select- ed by the executive committee of a seli-Constituted Indianapolis conven- tion, which assembled for the express purpose of establishing the gold stand- ard, have also mide a report and promulgated a Dill, the provisions of | which are so suikingly hke the propo- | sitons of the secretary of the treasury, | ia all the material particulars, as to suggest that they were compared and harmonized before either was given to the public. This report and _ bill are somewhat bold in asserting the pur- poses entertained than is even the proposition ot Mr. Gage. ‘These dis- tincuy propose that silver dollars shall not hereatter be coined; that standard silver dollars shall be redeemed in gold; that the silver bullion on hand at present shall be sold, and suggest that silver dollars may also be melted down and sold bulhon. We are | assured that the‘notes of the banks | ot jail to be safe,’ ‘because, hav- | as ‘ca ing been based on all the resources of | all the banks issuing them, they are based on the whole business of the country.’ Certainly no bank will be- come hable tor the notes issued by another bank over which it has no coniol or supervision; hence this scheme must contemplate the establsh- »me central bank authority, having the absolute control of the : of all paper money a great bank pool or syndicate, with powers | such as no man has ever before had the audacity t> suggest. ‘This com- mittee has called on commercial | bodies all over the country to endorse their report. ‘Thus the people are are put on full notice of what 1s in- ols ing tended, and of the means of its ac- complishment. “The divine right’ of _ kings is to be succeeded by the di- |} vine right of muilhonaries, who | are to run every thing, including the American senate and the con- science and intellect of university professors, “In view of the great principles in- volved, and of the danger so close at hand, we urge the people everywhere to arouse themselves and at once to t steps to save themselves and their children from the fetters now openly forged to bind them. “Our only danger is in division. If we are in earnest we must have har- mony among ourselves. It there should be those that would divide us, let them be summarily and emphati- cally rebuked by the people, who have | none but high and patriotic motives. “After the bold declaration of the administration in favor of tae gold standard, sincere bimetallist can ever again by his vote or influence 1 or encouragement to the re- publican party. The issue in joined; we cannot avoid it if we would. Exther the friends o! bimetallism or | the advocates of the gold standard, trusts and monopolies must suceed. Who is not for us is agamst us. We are asking no man to abandon his | party or change his politics; we ask | no one to yicld any principle; but in this great contest we do appeal to all good men to stand solidly together for liberty and humanity and strike down forever this conspiracy of gold and monopoly.” no give aes, TO THE POPULISTs. National Chairman Butler and Other Lead- ers Favor Co-operation. Senator Butler, of North Carolina, | chairman of the populist national com- mittee, and twenty-five other leading members of the party have issued the following address to populists: “The conspiracy of gold and mono. poly is nearing its culmination. Every | advance it hasmade during the last twenty-five years has been by adroit and stealthy processes. These would have been impossible if 1t had not had its agents and contederates holding | positions of public trust in the legisla- tive, executive and judicial branches of the government. Neither the bene- ficiaries nor the tools of this consp1- racy have any particular politics. “In name the last administration was democratic. The present admin- istration is called republican, but it has ingloriously practiced and defended the perfidious politics of its prede- cessor. “At Jength the selfish and brutal in- terests behind this conspiracy deem the avowed pur- | thoroughly to the gold plan of this administration, as of last, is to retire the greenvacks and other non-interest bearing paper money of the government, to issue interest-bur- dened gold bonds, and increase the powers, privileges, and national banks. ‘This achievement would turn over the duty of supplying the people’s money—the very life blood of business—to a selfish, heart- less and irresponsible foreign gold syndicate and its Amesican agents and allies. 5 «It must be remembered also that allies have, with the connivancejif not the assistance of our government, captured and to-day control every instrument of commercein the nation. “In framing the constitution our patriotic foretathers, with zealous cares, with patriotic wisdom, provided that commerce should be regulated by congress; but this tremendous power has been abdicated by congress in favor ot the gold trust and the bank- ing ring. Money is the first great in- strument of commerce, but the gold ning, not satisfied with controlhng our financial system, has captured the instruments of comm them to keep the gold standard yoke upon our ne and ‘to more thoroughly’ subjugate our people and dominate our government. “Allhistory teaches that those who have controlled the instruments of commerce in any country have not only controlled the commerce of that nation, but have also controlled and dominated that government. “Thus the gold syndicate and its allied monopolies in our country, hav- ing seized the great instruments of commerce, nave used this tremendous and individuals to destroy competition, to breed business stagnation and to create ‘hard umes’ .in the midst of plenty. “Thus the organization and main- tenance of great industrial trusts have | been promoted which operate to ag- grevate the evil conditions which gave them birth. ‘hus they are making miliions of paupers to create a few millionaires, ‘he inevitable result must be to convert into an oligarchy of sordid wealth, “In the accomplishment of this these evil influences must shackle opinion and wuzzie discussion. ‘They not only subsidize the press and at- tempt to seat their well paid attorneys in our legislative halls, on our bencaes of justice and in all other departments of government, but wherever college faculies are suscepuble to pretended generosity or inverted philanthropy they careiully maneuver for either service or silence. “The divine nght of kings is to be succeeded by the divine right of mil- honarics who propose to run. every- thing, not only the instruments of commerce and our industrial system, but also, as far as possible, the pen of the editor and the voice, if not the in- telligence, of the university protessor. Having succeeded in this, the con spirators will not only completely dominate the legislative, executive and judicial branches of our government, but will be solidly entrenched against resistance and_ retribution. stated, this is a part of the outrageous scheme. We do not arraign any political party on partsan grounds. We arraign a system and denounce a conspiracy. We condemn individ- | uals and organizations that support this system and aid this conspiracy. A party that is the mouthpiece and agent of this conspiracy is just as dangerous under one name as under another, “In every campaign the gold syndi- cate and all the allied trusts and monopolies combine. They select the conventions they desire to control; they elect the candidates that they have selected. Of course, they con- trol them after they are elected. ‘Therefore, those who are not their agents and who would not submit to their tyranneous spoilation should strenuously oppose the allied combina- tion of gold and monopoly. ‘The only hope of the enemy is to divide us, ‘Therefore, let us be more united and harmonious than ever, and further let us organize without delay for a vigorous campaign in every state and congres. sional district, county and precinct. “There are but two sides to this mighty and protentious conflict. All of those of whatever political party who favor the conspiracy of gold and monopoly, who favor industrial themselves strong enough to dispense with the caution and duplicity hitherto | necessary to their success. The ad- ministration boldly avows its indors ment of thir schemes agamst the Fberty and prosperity of the people. Within a few weeks it has fo: mulated and sent to congress a bill, the leading purpose of which is, in the words of J slavery, widespread poverty and na- tional destruction should be on one Side; and ail of those of wliatever po- iucal party whe oppose this dvadly design, who jove tuh and right, who} love their county, who love their homes and firesides, and who believe profits of this foreign gold syndicate and its e to enable power to discriminate against sections Briefly | in the sacred principles declared by efferson and reassetted by Jackson can people realize the wrongs and comprehend the dangeis, and are ready to fight this system to the end. “The spirit of ’76 is abroad in the land and the friends of liberty every- where are awaiting the patriotic cali to fight acommon battle against a common foe. Let this be done and we theAmerican revolutiun; let this be done and we shall drive every tory to igno- minious defeat. Let unis be done and we shall reestablish what 1s almost can crush every traitor as did the men of overthrown—a government of the peo- ple, by the people, and for the peo- ple.” eg ees SILVER REPUBLICANS. Chairman Towne and His Colleagues Make a Plea for Fusion. the national committee of the silver republican party, and eight silver re- puvlican senators and representatives issue the following: z “Patriots and citizens: The cunning plans of the beneficiaries of the gold standard and the advocates of mono- | poly are just nearing completion. ‘They’ need but to win one more vic tory to become supreme, and to be able to defy the sovereignty of the people for generations with the policy of the republican party, which is a plain confession that the secret authors | of the St. Louis platform of 1896 are in absloute control of that ‘party. Power thus secured under false pre tense is to be ruthlessly used to carry out the ulterior design of the conspir- itors. “The slow processes of twenty years are rapidly advancing to their goal, the near approach to which now seems to warrant dispensing with the caution and deceit that have hithet been the necessary preliminaries of success. “But this openness of purpose h:s the opportunity of patriousm. Honest men should hesitate no longer if op- posed to the estabishient o: the gold standard and all its rigor, to the rctue- ment of government currency, 1 opposed to the erection of a great assuciation of banks ot issue as the aii- dominating power in the nation, 1 | Opposed to every kind of wust and munopoly, the offspring and adjunct of the money power. Belore tis awtul and immicent peril to the in- stitutions of our country every per- sonal ambitiom musi melt away and merely partisan contention must ve stilled. “While this issue remains ‘unsctued, democrats, populists aud silver repub- licans must stand suouldcr to shouider in a ccmmon cause. United we can save the republic, the last reiuge oi scli-government, the one remaining hope ot liberty, to succeeding centur- ies. ‘The policy of our toes 1s to di- vide us tiat they may conqucr us Let not selt-interest, pride, cariessuess or folly atiord them hope that we shalt furnish arms against ourselves. “In every state and congressional district in the union tie closest co- operation should be our watchword. After full counsel together, we should, wherever there is a contest, chose a strong champion of the common cause and to him should ve given the true allegiance and earnest support of every opponent of the party of goid and monopoly. ‘The man or orgam- zauon that in this grave crisis becomes responsible tor discordant counsels or divided energies does not deserve the blessings we are all striving to pre- serve. “Patriots and citizens, we call upon you to unite in this common service ot citizenship and patriotsm. No man need surrender his party convic- tions. No existing organization need be abandoned. While striving to overthrow the common enemy no good purpose is served by emphuasiz- ing points on which we differ. Until this final assault ot the enemy upon the last ramparts of our mdustrial and social independence is repelled, until the control of the money system of the country is rescued from the hands ot special interests and secured to the whole people, the members of the great armies of political reform in every part ot the United States should act in mutual justice and harmonious co-operation for the general welfare. To this object, thus urged by our friends everywhere, we hereby pledge, jomatly and severally, our earnest and constant endeavor.” Only Three Trains on Earth Worthy of cowparison with the Burlington’s “Minneapolis and St. Paul-Chicago Limited.”””) One in Bu- ope; Lwo east of Chicago—none west.
