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 find 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 years 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 will 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 the truth. Partisan prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators, is a far more degrading slavery than that which existed previous to the Civil War of’6l-64. Trusts in the United States alone have a representative capital greater than all the gold and silver in the world. These will spend many more millions of dollars to suppress truth and facts and mislead all who fail to look beyond their plausible deceptions. Read the Enquirer and you will be able to discern the truth and combat falsehood. A victory for Trusts and the McKinley Administration in 1900 will end the era of greatest good to greatest number.
