"Old tlmero along tbo Missouri will no
doubt rccnll two duels which were fought
In the early dayn , " said an old-tlrao Btoara-
Voatmnn who was employed In the palmy
< laya In ateamboattng along the river. "They
differed considerably from the ordinary af
fair of honor In the manner In which they
wcro fought and In the further f.tct that
loth of them wcro fatal anil to both con
testants In each Instance. One of them was
fought with rifles from opposite ends of a
huge cottonwood log , probably thirty feet
In length , and the other took place on the
trostla of the big Missouri river brldgo when
It was In course of erection. I waa an eyu-
wltncs of each of the encounters , both of
which were seen by a largo number of peo-
j > lc.
"Near Chamberlain , S. D. , a good many
years ago there lived two brothers , Jim and
J afayotto SunderlanJ. They were typical
bad men of the frontier and dangerous char
acters In nn encounter. Tall , lean , active ,
sure sighted and quick of aim , they wcro
ugly customers. Their reputation was gen
eral along the Missouri river. ICncli of thorn
lind ono or more notches on the handle of
hla" revolver , Indicating that some human
being had fallen to his aim. No man cared
to orfcml cither of them unless ho waa lookIng -
Ing for trouble and prepared for battle , as
trouble una sure to follow when cither of
"them " felt that his dignity had suffered In-
nult , It waa peculiarly appropriate that
tlicao two bail characters should have seen
JK to rid the world of each o'ther , which they
did effi'Ctually ' In consequence of a quarrel
between them. When steumboatlng was In Its
glory along the Missouri the owner of a
wooJyard along the stream drove a profitable
business In supplying the passing boats with
fuel. There were established yards along the
river at such a distance apart as was conven
ient for the boats aud they run into shoru
nt these yards whenever their supply of fuel
got loiv to replenish It from the supply al
ways to bo found on hand. A heavily loaded
fboat making a trip up stream consumed a
many cords of wood , and the expemll-
re for fuel was no small amount. Prices
bed from $3 to $5 a cord , and when the
jicr of a yard old a supply to a passing
t ho had done a very fair day's work
received a very fair day'a Income. The
> d was always paid for In cash by the
k of the boat , and the patronage of the
ts was very much sought after by the
ieis oftho yards along the river.
DUEL AT CHAMDBRL.AIN.
Tim Sundcrland brothers varied their
ecrs us had men by wood chopping , and
y had established a yard about tea or
tlvo miles from the present site of Cham-
( lain. The yard was a partnership con-
n , the brothers being supposed to divide
tin ! proceeds of 'whatever sales were made.
( Hut as usual with such characters , there
was not oven common honesty between them ,
and If either man was able to make a sale
deemed It 'the ' part of wisdom and good
finance to pocket the entire proceeds and
cay nothing.
"We were nwklns a. trip up the river late
In the season with a heavy load of freight
mid put In at the Sundcrland woodyard to
replenish our stock of fuel , which had boon
heavily drawn upon .by our plowing against
the swift current of the river. Ono of the
owners , Jim Sunderland , was present at the
yard , and wo made known our needs , and
sent 'roosters' ashore to carry the wood upon
the di'ck.Vo iboiiRht about ten cords of
-wood , and the clerk paid irunderland ten
crisp $5 bills In settlement of .the account.
Just as wo were preparing to take up the
.gang plank and push out into the stream
again tafnyctto Sundorland made his ap-
"pc.-ir.inco from 'a ' neighboring copse of woods
and Inquired us to the- settlement for the
wood that had been taken , illy this tlmo we
] iad swung out Into the stream , and 'the.
clerk called across the Intervening stretch
of water that ho had paid Jim for the wood.
Kroni the deck of the 'boat wo could discern
a heated controversy between the brothers.
Thi ? reputation of the two men was such
BM to create a general'Interest on board
the boat aa to the outcome of the quarrel ,
1)Ut none of us were prepared for the tragic
denouement. After perhaps five minutes of
altercation wo DIW Jim suddenly spring to
rtho end of n huge cotton wood log which
Jay near and seize a Title which rested upon
itho end of the log. 'Hut ' quick as ho was ,
the other man was oven quicker , and al
though Jim was the first to wove Lafayette
sprang to the other end of the log where
Ms rllle rested and had seized It 'before ' Jim
could take aim. two slight puffs of smoke
from the barrels of the weapons , two short ,
Bharp reports and the -two men fell almost
Blmultaneously. each whcro ho had stood ,
-without moving a step. 'Each ' of the men
' was a deaJ shot , and there could 'bo but one
"result " to such a duel. The brothers were
Btono dead , each 'killed ' by the other , and
over the division of $50. 'Homicide ' was not
uncommon In those days , although the kill
ing of brother by brother In a duel of this
description was a llttlo out of the ordinary.
DUEL , ON TII > B TRESTLE.
"Tho other duel took place on the trestle
of the big Missouri hrldgo between Bis-
anire-It and Mondnn In 1BS1. Several of us
went sitting on the upper deck of a steam-
.lioat at tint DIsmarck landing when our at
tention was attracted by the confusion
umong the workmen on the trestle , which
was on the opposite sldo of the river and
perhaps half a mlle away. We watched the
anon for a few moments and soon wo saw
Homo dark object fall from the trestle to the
rocks seventy feet below. Investigation dis
closed that two of the carpenters who had
been at work had become engaged In an al
tercation , and hard words were followed by
iblows until one of them attatckod the other
With a hammer and the other defended him-
Holt with a hatchet. It was an extremely
perilous plnco for an encounter of the du-
Hcrlptlon which followed. The .trestle was
twenty fret In height and juet wldo enough
to admit of thu laying of the rails , with a
Hpaco of a foot on each sldo. There were
no guard rails and below the- trestle the
iround vyas strewn with hugo boulders. A
fall from the trestle was certainly fatal.
The workmen saw the Impending struggle-
with apprehension , but dared not Interfere ,
lent they bo cast from the trestle.
The two belligerent workmen grappled
TV I th each other aud swayed from eldo to
ulilu of the trestlo. Ilackward and forward
they reeled and struggled , imcli seeking to
overcome the other and cant him from the
dizzy height. Finally they battled to the
.very edge of the trestle and ono of them lost
Qia ! balance and swung out over the edge.
UleallzlriK that he WAS doomed he clung to
the other with tbo frenzy of despair , and
unable to loose himself from the grasp of the
falling man tbo second of the men slipped ,
swayed and fell over the edge , and with a
wild cry both men were precipitated to the
rocks below , The rest of the workmen were
liorror-strlcken and peered over the edge to
BOO the two unfortunates lying prone on the
rocks below , still clasped , each In the viselike -
like grip of the other and etono dead. Hardly
A boiie lu the body of cither but was broken , "

PORTLAND , Ore. , Fob. 15. ( Special. )
Evidently South Africa , which Is a region
of indefinite size , Is coming to have quite a
largo population , as three blilr ; loads of wheat
and flour have lately left Portland for that
part of Darkest Africa and several more
ships will load for there 'before ' long. The
fact that all the grain and Hour going there
lo put in stout gunny sacks has given the
'bag ' factories hero a Job to make some 35,000
such sacks for the three ships which have
wiled. iThcso sacks hold as much ns two
ordinary burlap grain sacks1 , and two sackft
of flour are placed In one of the gunny sacks.
This etylo of sacking wheat and flour for
transportation has caused some to Imagine
that it was a scheme to got the sack Into
South Africa without paying duty , and that
they were to bo used In shipping coffee from
that country. The fact Is the grain and
flour Eaclrfl go mostly far awny Into tha In
terior of the country in ox wasona tir Iby
other nido means of transportation and the
stout gunny saclca are required to that they
may not bo torn or worn out In the handling.

revision of all laws relating to the- arid
lands and their surroundings. At the meet
ing 'held In this city W. N. Ilyefs was reelected -
elected president zeid J. n. Thoburn secre
tary. The following resolutions , which were
passed , embody the views of tbo membcro
on needed legislation :
Tim value of the irrigated farm and the
security of the homos thereby created are
allko dependent upon the clllclcnt public
control of the water supply nnd the pre
vention of wafpr becoming a Rpeciilalive
commodity. AVe lirilcvo that the water
of all streams should forever remain pub
lic property , and that the rights to their
use nhould Inure not In the Individual or
the ditch , but In the land reclaimed.
Wlu-rona. The perpetuation of the forests
of itho nrld region Is esse-ntlali to the main
tenance of the water supply for Irrigation ,

WherciiH , The present public land laws

Irrigation Is not a necessity , and having
In their operation proved' ' utterly unsulted
to the condition nnd needs nt the arid re-
Klon , and the present policy of divided
control between state and nation of the

DENVER , Feb. 15. ( Special. ) It Is the In
tention ot the local eoolal democrats to or-
panlzo branches In all the wards of the city
and to open a ccntraMiill for the reception
of able speakers who may bo on a tour of the
country In the Interests ot socialism. James
Hogan announced this plan to a largo audi
ence In the Woodmen hall Sunday afternoon ,
and said he trusted Denver -would bo able
to make as good a showing In comparison to
KB size aa does Chicago , with Its twenty-
nlno active branches. The speaker declared
ho was a socialist from a sentimental stand
point rather than from a scientific ; the lat
ter might apply to the movement , but that
remained to bo proven. The individualist
contended that all forms of life struggle Is
for supremacy , for existence , but the speaker
did not think that the rule applied to human
ttlimns Life should not be one continual
warfare for existence. The world was larso
enough for all and abundantly able to pro
vide for all , The people were ill absolute
slavery to the property class , which con
trolled all Inanitions of the time. The ac
complishment of an overthrow ot this clas.-J
could "bo only along socialistic lines. Mr.
Hogan devoted a part of his time to currency ,
eaying :
"Ti.p ts'lvrr man la Iho small hog whom
the larger hogs have crowded out ot the
trough. The small hog 'wants in1 and If ho
ncui'l gut ' 11 there would be simply n traro-
fer of power. If each man In this state had
u. silver mlno the question would bo differ
ent , but this cannot be. There Is ns much
tyranny among the silver mine owners as by
the other bosses , Wo know their tactlco. "
Mr. Hogan spoke on 'the department stores ,
concluding by a reference to Chicago , which
has the "loop" system and which allowa the
shopper to take the car at her homo and visit
ail tno department ntorw In theelty with
out venturing on the streets. Yerkcs , the
car magnate , said Mr. Hogan , owns a ma
jority ci the Chicago city council and payj
the members of this majority ? 200 a month
each. In speaking of Debs' colonization
scheme , ho said that a colony of 250,000 people
ple would mean only three hours' work to
produce a condition of self-support. If the
men wanted to work an additional three
hours a day the product of this cxttu labor
would bring a surplus sufficient to compete
with the markets. The commodities from a
co-oporatlvo plan , could bo produced at one-
fifth the cost of those under a competitive
si-stem , as the latter means a. waste of from
nine-tenths to nlncteen-twentietb.s.

years , been so thoroughly committed to this
standard , partly by law nnd partly by the
usurpations of the executive branch of the
Kovornment , that its effects lire seen und
felt on every hand ; wages lire reduced ; ork
Is harder to Ket ; the weight of debt Is
doubled ; the value of land and other prop
erty is reduced onc-hii'.f or more , until the
llvi-3 of the people are made bitter with hard
bondage.
It Is certainly not 'In the Interest of hu
manity to hnvo this condition of things more
thoroughly cetabllshed. The continued rise
In value of gold , or wMeh Is the. same thin ? ,
the continued-fall 6f prices. Inevitably tr.-ins-
fprs the property 'of all those engaged In
active business , .Uie" actual creator * of
wealth , whether by hand , brain or capital ,
'to ' those who , avoiding the risk and effort
of active business , only draw Interest.
The Increase of U7 'per cent In the v.ilue
of money caused by Its Increasing Fcirclty
from 1M to 1S1D , nk admitted by leading nd-
vocateM of the gold' Hthamlnrd , found ex
pression at that tlmo'lu , extremely low tfrlees
nnrt condltlrns of unparalleled distress. The
discovery of gold and silver In extrordlnnry
quantities and thegr , ( > ! i't Increase In the vol
ume -motnlUc money resultingtherefrom
relieve , this distress nnd brought Jn its stcnd
wonderful prosperity : J'rices rose , liuslnens
nourished , producers. : prospered , all t.vere
happy. . , , . ,
THAT WICKER. .CONSPIRACY. .
Substantially this i-pndltlon would have
continued If both" the precious metals had
been allowed to remain In use as money ,
because they were being found In near y
Biitllcient quantities to lncr < > a ethe volume
of money in proportion to the developments
of busines * . A wicked conspiracy , however ,
deprived one of them of the money function.
This was done ' .Mlth the deliberate pup.io.sc
of raising tin ; value of the other by rendur-
Ins 'the. supply f.f metallic money relatively
scarcer as compared with the demand. From
the hour of the consummation of this crime
mankind hn.s suffered commercial disaster
nnd social distress In almost , constantly Increasing
creasingmejisure. . Just In proportion to the1
growth of arts and clvillza-tlon and the ex
pansion cf urtH , business and Industry , the
Inadequacy of the volume of sold Is felt , Its
.scarcity Is felt , Its value Increased.
The. repression of life and happiness which
is Inseparable from n long course of declined
prices has now checked development and if
continued will ultimately stifle civilization.
An eminent American. President AndrewB
of Brown university , some years ago said :
"Our national debt on September 1. lSC.i ,
iwas S2750.0/O.CCO : It could then have been
palil off with 18,000 , < X balM of cotton , or
L'j.OOO.OOO tons of bar Iron. When It had been
reduced to Jl.eTiO.OM.OOO. 30.00X000 bales of cot
ton or S2 OCO.C-00 tons of Iron would hive : \ttvn \
lenulred to pay It. In other words , while a
iv mlmil shilnkasre of about 35 per i-ent had
taken plnee In the. debt. It hud , as measured
Jn either of these two -sior'.d staples , actually
been enlarged by some 10 per cent. "
C1UM13 IS 'MOST ' STUPENDOUS.
Although more them half the prlnclp.il of
'this ' enormous debt nnd every cunt oC ac
cumulated Interest lind been paid by th
labor of the United Statep , the holders of
the bonds still hold n claim 'for more of the
labor of the people than they held before
thc-w enormous payments had even begun.
Cruel conllscation of the lives and liberty
of the laboring- millions of this country IH
the most stupendous crime that has been
committed In the annulsof civilization.
Unless ii government "of 'the people , by
the people and for the people" has perl.Mied
from the earth , surely thu present bold y
avowed scheme , not only to continue , but to
Increase these evils , will not be permitted.
In addition to Oils .purpose of more
thoroughly establishing the R&ld standard
the plun of the administration Is to retlrp
the paper money of the government , to Is
sue gold bonds , and to Increase the power ,
( privileges and prollts of nutlomil banks.
The 'retirement of the government paper
money must reduce the volumeof circula
tion , and 'while ' the secretary admits thU
the contraction of the currency would be
more ruinous In two years than the Interest
on a like amount of bonds for forty yearn
would bo , ho ciilmly Informs us that the
national banks will probably Issue a sulll-
clent amount of money to prevent this enor
mous suffering. ,
The national banks are not to bo required
to redeem their notes In gold , but It Is ur-
ranneil that the United Stnte.i government
e'lall do so on demand ; nnd after having
dune so the government mint no content to
have the national banks reimburse It In "any
kind of legal tender inoney at the option of
' told thnt lawful money
will be made "relatively scarcer thiui It la
now" nnd thut It is ultemled that under the
operation of the lilll. It will bo "easier o
Bet gold than lawful money. " Practical y
all of the money In iie Ijanda of the peep o
now. aa the secretary distinctly admits. Is
silver , chlelly In tho.form , of silver certifi
cates. Tifo iivowAl'iiurposo of the 1)111 ) Is
to make It thereafter 'more ' dllllcult to get

MONETARY COSrSIITTRR'S I1ILL.
The monetary commission aclccted by the
executive commltlteovof a neir-oonBtltutod
Indianapolis convention , which assembled
for the express purpQHe of establishing the
gold standard , haiialso made a report and
promulgated a bill. , ti'q provisions of which
are so strikingly llkeMho propositions of the.
secretary of the treasury In all material
particulars as to flflKKest that they were
3ompared and harmonized before cither was
; lven to the public. .
This report nndJilUnro somewhat moro
bold In the assertionof the purposes enter
tained than Is even the proposition of Mr.
Gaee. These distinctly propose that silver
dollars shall not hereafter be coined , that
standard sliver dollars Hhall be redeemed In
gold , that the silver bullion on hand ut
present shall bo sold , nnd suggests that
silver dollars may also be melted down and
sold as bullion. Wo are assured that the
notes of the banks "cannot fall to bo nafe ( "
"because , being based on all the resources
of all the banks Issuing- them , they are
jased upon tile whole business of the coun
try. " Certainly no bank will become liable
for the notes Issued by another bank over
which it has no control or supervision ;
lence this scheme must contemplate thu ea-
abllshmcnt of some central bank authority ,
laving the absolute control of the Issue of
ill paper money a great bank trust , peeler
or syndicate , with power such na no man
las ever before had the audacity to sug
gest.
gest.This committee has called upon commer
cial bodies all over the country to endorse
ts report. Thus the people ure put upon
'nil notice of what U Intended and of thu
means of Its accomplishment.

tlie Spectator , one * of the firent Knsllsh
newspapers , should say , as it did come
months slnco :
MHolng nudaclous beyond any world ex
perience , the great capitalists of America
nro determined te > capture , free opinion and
to prevent criticism. They nubsldlze pulpits ,
they buy the press , they snnt their well-pnld
attorneys In the Vnlted Stairs senate , nnd
at length thy stretch their hands over the
colleges , which It Is cay to capture by e.\
ntnples1 of Rcnwiwity. Thu * their design IH
to- prevent nny effuctlvo notion ' * hlch shnll
In nny way affect their authority and un
dermine their "position. " Their object cannot
bo. inert wealth-making , for they already
enjoy tvMlth beyond the dreams of nvarlce.
Apparently their Intention Is first to convert
the United States Into a powerful oligarchy
and then to extend the sway of Unit oligarchy
garchy over other lands.
"It Is reserved for the 'free' west to dis
miss from academic- service tried nnd com
petent teachers nt the bidding of rliiKs of
millionaires , who will not hear one flnglo
criticism or questioning of the justice or
necessity of their doings , or of the charac
ter nnd tendency of the trusts they have
l.iillt up with the nld nnd nt the expense of
the SMibllc. Tim divine right of kings Is to
be succeeded by the. divine right of mil
lionaires in ho nrc to run everything , includ
ing the American fenato nnd the conscience
nnd Intellect of unlve-wlty professors.
"It Is none t > f our duty to say how the
American people shall deal with the porten
tous growth of thnt money power which
overshadows the Institutions of the repub
lic. Hut we thlnki that the rich men of
America , are revealing such a deadly T > ! ot

AHOUSB TUB PKOPLH.
In view of the great principles Involved
and of the danger so close nt hand we urge
the people everywhere to arouse themselves
nnd at once take stops to anvo themselves
nnd their children from the fetters now
being openly forged to bind them.
In recent years there hnvo been n number
ot Instanced of congressional districts
where the. advocates ot'pold nnd monopoly
were larpely outnumbered by their op
ponents nnd where , nevertheless , by a fail
ure to unite and ct together , friends of the
sold standard linvc been successful. This
Is the result of a. personal or partisan
wrangle , by which the cause of trutn and
Justice has been overshadowed , the Interest
oC humanity Ignored nnd the greatest Rood
to the government niiboriltnnted to an Igno
ble strife. We appeal to you lo let this not
to be the ease nsaln.
Our only danger Is In division. If we are
lu earnest we must have harmony among
ourselves. If there bo those who would
divide us let them be summarily nnd em
phatically rebuked by the people , who bnve
none but hlRM und patriotic motives. After
the bold declaration of the administration
In favor of the gold standard no sincere bl-
metnlllst can ever again by ihis vote or In
fluence Blvo nld or encouragement to the re
publican party.
The Issue Is Jollied : we cannot avoid It
If we would. Hllher the friends of bimetal
lism or the advoeatcs of the RJld standard ,
trusts and monopolies must succeed.Vno
Is uH for us Is against us. We nrc asking
no man to abandon his party or change his
politics. We ask no one to yield any prin
ciple , but in this great contest we do < ippal
to all good men to stand solidly together for
liberty and humanity nnd strike down for
ever this conspiracy of gold and monopoly.
ADDRESS TO THE POPULISTS.
The populist address Is as follows :
The conspiracy of Bold nnd monopoly Is
Hearing Its culmination. Kvery advance It
has made during the last twenty-live years
has been by adroit and stealthy processes.
Tht'so ' .vioiild have been Impossible If It had
not bad its agents nnd confederates boldIng -
Ing- ( positions of public trust in the leilpla-
tlve , executive and' Judicial brandies of the
government. Neither the beneficiaries nor
Iho tools of this conspiracy have any
particular politics , In name the last admin
istration was democratic. The present ad
ministration Is called rfpub'lcan. but It has
ingloriotisly practiced and defended the per
fidious policies of Its predecessor.
At length the selfish and brutal Interests
behind this conspiracy deem themselves
strong enough to dispense with the caution
nnd duplicity hitherto necessary to their
success ) . The administration boldly avows
Its endorsement of their scheme ncnlnst the
liberty nnd prosperity of the people. W-lthln
a few weeks It ban formulated and sent to
congress a bill , the loading purpose of which
Is , In the words of the secretary of the
treasury , "To commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard. "
This country has during- the lust twenty-
four years suffered onouvh of the li'lghtlng
effect of the gold standard , so far aa fraud
ulent legislation nnd executive usurpation
have been able to establish It. It Is now
boldly proposed to legalize -what has been
done in ' 'e.llance of law and to use the
power secured by 'false ' pretenses from : i
long suffering and too trustful people to put
upon this Infamous design the stump of al-
lesrdpopular authorization.
In the pursuit of this purpose of commit
ting the country more thoroughly to tin1
Ked ! standard the -plan of this ndmlnlstri-
tlon. ns of tr-e lastIs to retire the Rreen-
backs anil other non-Interest bearing p-iper
money of the government , to Issue Interest
burdened cold bonds and to Increase the
powers , privileges and prolks of national
banks. This achievement would turn over
the duty of supplying- the people's money ,
the very life blood of busline , to a selfish ,
heartless and Irresponsible foreign jr ld syn
dicate and Its American aprents and a'lles.
GOLD SYNDICATE IN CONTROL
It must be. remembered nlso that this for
eign syndicate and Us allies have , with the
connivance , If not the assistance , of our
government , captured and today control
every Instrument of commerce In the nation.
In framing the constitution our p-itrlotU-
forefathers , with zealous care and with
prophetic wisdom , provided that commerce
should be regulate ! by c-ongress ; but this
tremendous power lias been abdicated by
eonfrroHs In favor of the go'd trust and the
bunking ring- . Money Is the first wreat In
strument of commerce , but the gold ring ,
not satisfied with controlling our financial
system , has captured the other Instruments
of commerce , to enable It to keep the gold
standard yoke upon our necks and to moro
thoroughly subjugate our people and dom
inate our government.
All history teaches thnt those who have
controlled the Instruments of commerce In
any country have not only controlled the
commerce of that nation , but have nlso
controlled and dominated fiat government.
Thus the gold syndicate and its allied mo
nopolies In our country , having seized the
great Instruments of commerce , have used
thld tremendous power lo discriminate
iiR'alnst sections and Individuals to destroy
competition , to breed business stagnation
nnd to create "hard times' ' In the midst of
plenty. Thus the organization and main
tenance of grout Industrial trusts hnvo been
promoted , which operate to tiRgravnte the
evil conditions wfllc-li nave them birth.
Thus they are making millions of pauperu
to create few millionaires. The Inevitable
result miiHt bo to convert our ( -ovcrnment
Into an ollunrohy of sordid wealth.
In the accomplishment of this end these
evil Influence-i must shacklu opinion and
muzzle discussion. They not only subsidize
the press and attempt to seat their well
paid attorney * In our legislative halls , on
our benches of Justice and In all other de
partments of government , but whori-vcr col
lege faculties uro susceptible to pretended
generosity or Inverted philanthropy they
carefully maneuver for their service or si
lence.
The dlvlno rlsht of kings Is to be suc
ceeded by the divine right of millionaires ,
who proposii to run everything , not only
the Instruments of commerce nnd our In
dustrial system , but also ns far as possible
the pin of the editor and the voice , If not
the Intellect of the university professor.
Having succeeded In this , the conspirators
will not only completely dominate ) the loKls-
latlve , executive or Judicial brunches of our
government , but will be solidly cnlrcncticd
against retrenchment anil retribution.
Briefly stated , this Is a part of the out
rageous scheme. Wo do not arraign any
political party on partisan grounds. Wo
arraign a nystein nnd denounce a con
spiracy. We condemn Individuals find or
ganizations that support thU system nnd aid
the conspiracy. A party thnt Is the niouth-
'Ploeo ' nnd agent of this conspiracy Is Just UH
dangerous under ono iiumu an under an
other.
TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES COMHINE.
In ovury campaign the gold syndicate and
all the allied trusts and monopolies com
bine. They select the convention * they de
sire to control , they elect the candidates
that they have selected. Of courno they
control them after they are , elected. There
fore , those who are not their agents and
who would not submit to tlu-lr tyrannous
spoliation tthoulif strenuously oppoini the al
lied combination of gold monopoly.
Thn only hope of the enemy Is to divide
us. Therefore let us bo more united and
harmonious than ever , and , further , let us
orciinlze without delay a vigorous campaign
In every state and coiiKroaslonul district ,
county and precinct.
There are but two sides to this mltfhty and
portentous conflict. All of those of whut-
over party who favor the conspiracy of gold
nnd monopoly , who favor Industrial slavery ,
widespread poverty und national destruc
tion , should be on one Klde ; nnd all of the o
of whatever party who oppose this deadly
design , who love truth ! nnd right , who love
tholr country , mho love their homes mid
fliesldes and who bollcvo In the sacred prin
ciples declared by Jefferson , and rcunserted
by Jackson and Lincoln , should bo on the
other Hide. On this Bide -wn m > lldly stand.
Then let -us , maintaining at all -times
party Integrity , Invite the harmonious co
operation of all ueeklng the numo ends. The
omlnoUB danger * threatening the Inutltu-
V. . o enntiot nvold the conflict If wo would.

TO SILVER HKPUIIUCANS ,
The paper of the silver rcpubllcjus la as
follows :
The cunning plans of the beneficiaries of
the gold standard nnd the ndvocates of mo
nopoly are Just Hearing completion. They
nei'd to win one more victory to become
supreme niul be ab'.o to defy the sovereignty
of the people for generations. The. policy of
republicanism Is n. plain confession thnt the
authors of the St. l.otils platform of IS * ; nre
lu absolute control of that party. 1'ower
thus secured under false pretense Is to bo
ruthlessly used to carry out the ulterior de
signs of the conspirators. The slow pro
cesses of twenty-five years nrc rapidly ad
vancing to their goal , the near apTiro.ich to
iwililch now- seems to warrant dispensing
with the caution und deceit tlmt have hith
erto been the nccoysiry preliminaries of
success.
Hut this openness of purpose ) has the. op
portunity of patriotism , Honest men should
hesitate no longer If cppo ed to thu estab
lishment of the gold standard In nil Its rlg-or ;
If opposed to the retlre-meiit of Kovcriimont
currency : If ojtposed to the crvt'tlon of n
great association of banks of Issue as thu
nil-dominating power ; If opposed to every
kind of trtift aud monopoly , tlie on'sprlng
nnd adjunct of tbo money power.
Hoforo this Imminent porll to the country
every ambition must melt away and merely
partisan contention must be stlllr-i. While
the Issue remains unsettled dcmoor\it , prr-
ullat and sliver republican must slum !
shoulder to Miouldor In a common caiiFo.
I'nltcd two can wave Iho. republic , the last
refuge of self-government , the otic remainIng -
Ing hope of liberty , to succeeding centuries.
OPPOSITION HOPUS roil DIVISION.
Tbo policy of our foes Is to divide us , lh.it
they may conquer us. Let not self-lntcrosi ,
prluo , carelessness or folly altord them b .po
that we shall furnish arms against our
selves. In every stale and congressional
district In the unU.ii the eloest co-operailoti
should bo our watchword. After full coun
sel together wo should , wherever there Is a
contest , cheese a strong cliani'.Tion ' of tin1
common cause nnJ to him should be Klven
the true nllcglnnce and earnest support of
every opponent of the party of gold nnd mo
nopoly. The man or organization that In
this grave crisis becomes ! responsible for
discordant councils or divided energies dot's
not deserve the blessings i.ve are all striving
to preserve.
Patriots and citizens , we call upon you to
uulto In this great common service of cit
izenship aud patriotism. No man need sur
render bis party convictions. No existing
organization need be abandoned.Vhllu
striving to overthrow a common enemy no
good 'punposo ' Is served by emphasizing
points on which we differ. Hut until this
linal assault of the enemy upon the last
ramparts of our Industrial and social Inde
pendence Is repelle-1 , until the control of the
money system of the country Is rescued
from the bauds of special Interests and se
cured to the whole pecple , the members * of
the ereat armies of political reform In every
part of the United States shoul 1 act In mu
tual justice and harmonious co-operation for
the general -welfare. To this object , thin
urged upon our friends everywheie. we
hereby pledge jointly and severally our earn
