It 's up to the People.

Less than a year remains in which to gather facts, and information that will influence your vote for the next president of the United States. That grievous wrongs have been committed, and grave errors allowed to exist without effort at correction, is evidenced by the speech, writings, and comments of eminent statesmen and* jurists; congressmen and leading men of business; professors and clergymen in every, state. Party affiliations have been ignored in the outcry against thrusting aside the safeguards of our fathers and rushing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe. The situation is a deplorable one if not alarming; as is also our domestic affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts. The evils are not of spontaneous growth! They are the result of yean of labor and expenditure of millions * of dollars! Beginning with the displacement of American silver for English gold, the cunning of England’s diplomacy in shaping the destiny of our Republic is apparent to any ordinary observer seeking the true inwardness of events. The Cincinnati Enquirer has frequently called attention to each and every move as it was transpiring, and during the campaign of 1900 win present its readers with a truthful array of facts that will be extremely interesting and startling. No fair-minded American, be he Republican, Democrat or of other political faith, can afford at this critical time to ignore die truth. "Partisan prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators, is a far more degrading slavery than that which existed previous to the Civil War of *61—64. Trusts in the United States alone have a representative capital greater fffian aD the gold and silver in the world. These win spend many more million* of dollars to suppress truth and facts and mislead aH who fail to look beyond their plausible deceptions. Read die Enquirer and yon wiU be able to discern the truth and combat falsehood. A victory far Trusts and die McKinley Administration in 1900 win end the era of greatest good to greatest number. Watch carefully the
