UNITED WAR ON GOLD. Three Parties to Fight Under the Sihrer Banner. KOHEY TRUST A OOKXOX EHEMY.

Call mi Um People to Strike Per Addresses on behalf of the Democrats, Populists and silver Republican parties, which are the result of the conferences which have been in progress among the leaders of those parties at Washington for the past few weeks, have been issued. They seek to unite the members of the three parties in future elections upon the financial issue as the question of paramount importance and are separate appeals to each of the parties tc consolidate all along the lines for this purpose. The address to Democrats is signed by Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas and is indorsed by the Democratic congressional committee; that to the Populists by Senator Marion Butler, chairmap of the Populist national committee, the 25 other Populist members of the senate and house, and that of the silver Republicans by Chairman Charley A. Towne and the silver Republicans In the senate and boose, and also by exSenator Dubois. Extracts from the addresses follow: Mlwr Republican.Addfi. Tbo cunning plans of the beneficiaries of the gold standard and the advocates of monopoly are fast nearing completion. They need but to win one more victory to become supreme and to be •hie to defy the sovereignty of the people far generations. The policy Q# the Republican'*ttdmiuistration is a plain confession that the secret authors of the 8t. Louis platform of 1896 are in absolute control of that party. Power thus secured by false pretenses is to be ruthlessly used to carry out the ulterior designs of the conspirators. The slow proooesses of the 35 years are rapidly advancing to their goal, the near approach to which now seems to warrant dispensing with the caution and deceit that have hitherto been the necessary preliminaries of success. But this openness of purpose is the opportunity of patriotism. Honest men should hesitate no longer if opposed to the establishment of government currency, if opposed to the erection of a great association of banks of issue as the all dominating power in the nation, If opposed to eve-y kind of trust and monopoly, the oflopriug and adjunct of the money power. - Patriots and citizens, we call upon you to unite in this great common service of citizenship and patriotism. No man need surrender his party eouvictiooa No existing organization need be abandoned. While striving to overthrow a oobudou enemy no good purpose is •erred by emphasizing points on which we differ. But until this final assault of the enemy upon the last ramjmrts of our industrial and social independence is repelled, until the control of the money system of the country is rescued from the hands of special interests and assured to the whole people, the members of the groat armies of political reform iu every part of the United States should act in mutual justice and harmonious oo-opera-ti ou for the general welfare. To this object thus urged upon our friends everywhere we hereby pledge jointly and severally our earnest and constant endeavor. Charles A. Town's. Tb* PapalUt AddMM. The conspiracy of gold and monopoly is nearing its culmination. Every advance it has made during the last 25 years has been by adroit and stealthy process. These woqld have been impossible it it had not had its agents and confederates bolding positions of public trust iu the legislative, executive and

Judicial branches of too government. Neither the beneficiaries nor the tools of this conspiracy have any particular politics. In name the last administration was. Democratic. The present administration is called Republican, but lit has ingloriously practiced and defended the perfidious policies of its predecessor. At length the selfish and brutal interests behind this conspiracy deem themselves strong enough to dispense with the caution and duplicity hitherto necessary to their success. The administration boldly avows its indorsement of their scheme against the liberty and prosperity at the people. Within a few weeks it has formulated and sent to congress a bill, the leading purpose of Which is. in the words of the secretary of the treasury, “to commit the country more thoroughly to the gold standard. ” There are but two sides to this mighty and portentous conflict All of those, of whatever party, who favor the coospirCof gold and monopoly, who favor ustrial slavery, widespread poverty and national destruction should he on one aide, and all of those, of whatever party, who oppoee this deadly design, - who love truth and right who love their country, who love their home* and fireside, and who believe in the sacred principle declared by Jefferson and reasserted by Jackson and Lincoln should l|e on the other side. On this side we solidly stand* Then let us, main taming at 411 times party dignity, invite the harmonious co-oper-ation of all seeking the same end. The ominous dangers threatening the insti- , tntions of the republic malm this the highest duty. The line of battle Is clearly drawn. We oannot avoid the conflict if we would Therefore, let us appeal to all cittaens and to all ofganisatiooe and parties that oppose this conspiracy—that oppose a government

n* DinfwHt Aaiir—i. To the people: The surrender of the Republican party to the advocates of the gold standard and monopoly is at last complete. The present administration. called to power upon the solemn pledge of the Republican national oon- ' vention at St Louis to promote bimetallism, has formulated and sent to eon- ; gross a bill the leading pnrpose of j which the honorable secretary of the j treasury avows is “tooommit the cotutI try more thoroughly to the gold standard. ” The oonntry has already for 14 i years been so thoroughly committed to , this standard, partly by law and partly • by the usurpations of the executive j branch of the government, that its ef- , facts are seen and felt on every hand; , wages are reduced and work is harder | to get; the weight of debt is doubled; [ the value of land and other property is | reduced one-half or more, until the I lives of the people are “made bitter j with hard bondage. " It is certainly not I in the interest of humanity to have this j condition of things more thoroughly established. - The increase of 146 per cent in the ! value of money caused by its increasing j scarcity from 1809 to 1849. as admitted I by leading advocates of the gold stand- | ard, found expression at that time iu j extremely low prices and conditions of j unparalleled distress. The discovery of I gold and silver in extraordinary quantii ties and the great increase in the volume of metallic money resulting therefrom relieved this distress and brought in its stead wonderful prosperity. Prices rose, business flourished, producers prospered, all were happy. Substantially this condition would have continued if both the precious metals had been allowed to remain in use as money, because they we# being found in nearly sufficient quantities to increase the volume of money in proportion to the developments of business. A wicked conspiracy, however, deprived cue of them of the money function. This was done with the deliberate purpose of raising the value of the other by rendering the supply of metallic money relatively scarcer as compared with the demaud. From the hour of the consummation of this crime mankind has suffered commercial disaster and social distress in aljnost constantly increasing measure. Just in proportion to the growth of arts and civilization and the expansion of oommerce, business and industry the inadequacy of the volume of gold is felt, its scarcity is emphasized, its value increased. After the bold declaration of the administration in favor of the gold stand - j ard no sincere bimetallist can ever again by his vote or influence give aid or encouragement to the Republican party. The issue is joined; we cannot avoid it if we would. Either the friends of bimetallism or the advocates of the gold standard, trusts and monopolies must succeed. Who is not for us it agaim us. W-e ore asking no man to abandon bis party or change his politics. W’e ask no one to yield any principle, bat in this great contest we do appeal to all good men to stand solidly together for liberty and humauity and strike down forever this conspiracy of gold and monopoly.

Republican organs and other McKinley apologists discern the slimy tentacles of a monster octopus around the throats of all those members of congress who are opposing Hawaiian annexation. The name they give to it la the Sugar trust If their vision is clear and unjaundiced. their discovery is timely and important, for then we have a double set of witnesses to the existence of at least one trust iu this country. Hitherto Republican organs and other ! McKinley apologists have replied to the i outcries against trusts, “Ha, hat" At other times their scornful cachinuation i has been, “Ho, ho!" If, therefore, they now see the Sugar I trust opposiug Hawaiian annexation, it i teems reasonably certain that such a I thing as a trust really exists in this ! country. More than that, it also estabi lubes the truth of tb6 Democratic conj tenuon that trusts are sometimes per- | niciously active iu national legislation. Now that the scales aie beginning to | drop from the eyes of these ribald MoI Kinleyites, may we not hope that after ; awhile they will acknowledge that 1 trusts are something more than mere fantasies of disturbed minds? May we i not also hope that they will in time get around to the realization that if the Sugar trust can place obstacles in the 1 way of Hawaiian annexation it oan also obstruot. if not control, other legislation? H there it really a Sugar trust and if it is a wicked thing, what are the Republican organs and other McKinley apologists going to do about it? Their party is in control of all departments of the government.—St Louis Republic.

FI R TRUE DEMOCRACY. ■ ■ -.— i Pe ople Against PWtocracj the ' Issue In 190a HC COMPBOinSINQ FBHOIFLE& "Pf’roftal StetflT Hambag Will Out He Vicar* aft th* Next Rational Oia«n> Mmm—Tkn Chteaco Platform Coatata« tSno Doctrlao* of Faro Deaowaey, ©nr Washington correspoodent calls attention to the scheme reported to be und er way, booked by the money power and the cuckoo crowd, to restore to its pristine vigor the frayed myth of the “pivotal states,” says the Atlanta Constitution. This scheme, which was very successfully carried oat for many years, and which caused the Democratic party many sore and disastrous defeats, consisted in the demands of the Democratic delegates from the hopeless or doubtful states that they be permitted to dictate the platform and nominate the candidates. Oar readers know the methods by which this scheme was carried out quadrennially, There was always the threat to the national convention that if it didn't pnt this in the platform or leave our, the other, it would be impossible to carry New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and the campaign would be for nothing. In this way the certain Democratic states were for years bound baud and foot by men pretending to be Democrats, hut in reality standing for and representing all that is most obnoxious to Democracy.

The scheme was further favored bj the anomalous position of the southern states, the victims of reconstruction and the target for all the venom and vindictiveness that prejudice could breed. But this is ancient history now. Sectionalism is dead and prejudice is play ed out on both sides. In 1896 the real Democrats of the country asserted themselves and wrote into their platfann the doctrines of pure Democracy. This was more than the time servers could stand, and they retired from the party or took no part in the campaign. It is not at all surprising to hear that the old scheme is to be worked again. Ground is to be broken for a "compromise, ’* and an effort is to be made to emasculate tbe Chicago platform to suit the peculiar views of those who may not agree with it. , We have no doubt, however, that there is a disagreeable surprise in store for the gentry who are engaged in this particular deal. The Constitution violates no confidence when it informs them that the scheme they have in hand was forestalled mouths ago, and their plans anticipated. In fact notice to thk: effect was served on them some months ago. If they bad ears to hear, they could not have missed the inward meaning and purport of much that has been jointed in the columns of Democratic newspapers on the “pivotal states." But if there has been any misunderstanding whatever we hasten to remove it In nearly every state in the Union the real Democratic organization i» in the bauds of ,bose who are in hessrty accord with the Chicago platform. It follows, therefore, that the number of those who attend the next Democratic convention with a view of emasculating the platform will be fewer in number thou they were in tbe convention of 18‘j6—-and this is saying a great deal. But perhaps it is Idle to criticise or even discuss n scheme so futile and foolish. It could not succeed even if no measures had been taken to forestall it As matters stand, it will never reach the doors of the national convention. The issue is not one of ‘ ‘pivotal states, ” but of democracy against plutocracy. Democratic principles are to be pitted against the greed of the plutocrats. The issue is between tbe restoration of bimetallism and the wreck and ruin of the gold standard. The voters will have to take their choice without -any regard to "pivotal states." And as for a compromise of Democratic principles, it will not be considered. There will be no such compromise, no evasion, no dodging. The |>eople must vote on the naked and unrelieved issues that have arisen between the Democrats and the plntocrata.

M’KINLEY AND THE TOILER. B* r*ol>WM 8yn>paU>7 n»r Him, tat Bta Acts Bell* Bta Word*. President McKinley manifests a lively interest hi the welfare of the wageworker. Be wants American workmen to have living wages. Be is sorry that the pt^ple are suffering in New England. He thinks it is a pity that each a state at affairs should exist as that which now obtains among the cotton mill operatives. Doubtless the prari- | dent's emotional nature has been touched by the stories of destitution and suffering which oume to him from New England. Doubt’ess for the moment he real1 ly feels sorry for those unfortunate workers thrown out of employment in the dead of winter. Bat emotion is not I practical philanthropy; it is not even Justice. If President McKinley is sorry for the workingmen, why does hs place enemies to labor in a position of power? Why did he appoint Governor Griggs attorney general? What is John Griggs' record? He voted against a hill to make wages a preferred debt in cases of insolvency. He voted against a. hill to eatablish a half holiday on Saturday. He voted against a bill to prevent child labor in factories operating intricate and dangerous machinery. He voted against a hill making it illegal for an employer to prevent his employees from becoming members of labor organisations. He voted against a bill requiring fire escapes on factory buildings more than three stories high. McKinley pities the laboring man and appoints John W. Griggs attorney general.—Chicago Dis
