Campaign literature for free
distribution at the Midland
Journal office.
To maintain the gold standard in
the United States prices must go to
the lowest level of prices in other
gold standard countries, and wages
of laborers must inevitably fall as
prices of the products of labor fall.
All labor creats the wealth that
pays its wages.
Chicago workmen who are forced
to go on free ride excursions to
visit McKinley under penalty of
losing their job, march in Bryan
processions wearing masks so as to
prevent their bosses from identify
ingand black listing them. They’ll
vote for McKinley—“in a horn.”
The way the Progressive Farmer
of North Carolina is “carrying on”
about Watson and Sewall, the im
pression is spreading that Mark
Hanna has “seen” the Farmer or
its office cat. The Farmer knows
there is no time now for changing
candidates. All the Farmer is
doing is in favor of McKinley.
The very latest of the goldbngs’
discoveries is that Bryan is crazy.
He shows remarkable powers of
judgement and discrimination in
liis speeches by accurate descrip
tion of the enemy’s plans and the
proper way to treat this goldbug
conspiracy, which do not indicate
unsound mental conditions.
That boasting of being ready to
receive challenges “every hour of
the day and every hour of the
night” and every day in the week,
by the Rising Sun goldbug club,
sounded wiil but it was only half
said. The part left unsaid was a
mental reservation—“we’ll not
accept any of them.” Brag is the
big dog of the goldbug campaign.
The Bryan men rely on the votes.
It requires a good deal of solid
manhood to vote right when the
party you have been beguiled to
following for a number of years
goes wrong. There are some square
up and down men even in this
section of the world who know that
the present gold ring position of
the republican party is wrong
and directly opposed to their in
terest, but can’t muster the courage
to vote against it.
Those Mexican dollars which
beef monopolist Armor and other
large goldbug establishments are
putting in circulation as “object
lessons,” it turns out are counter
feits, and the Mexican government
is on search of the counterfeiters.
The machinery was made in Eng
land for coining the counterfeits
and the dollars were lauded in
Florida from a vessel, where the
McKinley politicians got their
supply. What next will the gold
bugs try?
Mr. Bryan in his inimitable !
speeches appeals to the voters to
study the issues and vote according
to their judgement. There is no
spot in the country more in need to
receive that advice than some
farmers and mechanics in this
neighborhood who are willing to
follow goldbug advice rather than
think and study for themselves.
The interest of the goldbug and the
interest of the farmer and mechanic
are diametrically opposite. Who
ever heard of a goldbug asking
advice of a farmer or mechanic?
It is probable that Mr. Sewell is
not the best choice the Chicago
convention could have made, but
the way Watson is carrying on is
vastly more unwise. His hot head
ed course may injure the ticket to
some small extent, and it will in
jure Watson to a very great extent
politically. Watson’s consuming
vanity is to be in the public eye. I
lie is willing to subject party,
principle and success of the ticket
to his egotism and personal vanity.
Watson is always the luminary
around which all must revolve in
his little system.
Millions of people have seen and
heard Bryan speak since he began
this unparalled canvass. They
have met him at every railroad
station and water tank where ever
the cars stopped a few minutes;
they have collected in swarms to
shake hands and hear him talk.
In the large cities they have
jammed full the largest halls and
blocked the streets for squares
struggling to get near him. And
these are mostly the plain people,
They have come in millions. This
is uot figuratively, but literally
true. What does it mean? That
they will elect him by overwhelm
ing majorities.
TIHCIE MIIDIL-AJSriD OCTOBER 16, 1896.
Public Sale of Reading Railroad.
Hut recently the Reading railroad and
all its interests were sold at public aution
for $20,5000,000 and knooked down at
this single bid to an agent for J. l’ierpout
Morgan, which is to say, to the Roths
child money syndicate. This price is not
one-fourth what the road represents and
whether the stock and second mortgage
bonds have any legal rights which are
not extinguished by the first mortgage
bonds is a question which will be tested
iu the courts and will probably require
several years before a final decision is
rendered.
The probability, little short of certainty,
is that the first mortgage claim will ex
tinguish all others, That law holds good
in the case of firms which are being sold
under foreclosure every day'. And what
more are stochholders and other claim
ants in railroads than heirs and similar
claimants to real estate, unless it perhaps
is made to appear that the public liaye
some sort of vested rights which the cor
porations cannot claim, which is exceed
ing doubtful, in as much as the courts
are largely under the influence of the
monopolies, syndicates and corporations
Roundly speakiug half the railroads of
the country are or have been in the hands
of receivers and all of them will be if eon
■ ditions are not changed. The roads are
paying no dividends on stock, which is
being wiped out or purchased by the
bondholders at whatever they choose to
pay for it, to whom it is valuable only as
it enables the bondholders to control the
management of the roads.
The fate of the Reading is but a fore
cast of the fate of all the railways in the
country (if the government does not step
in and take possession) under the gold
standard, the English policy, which is
tightening itself around the United States
as a boaeonstrictor winds its crushing
folds about the animal it prepares to make
a meal of.
When the courts have decided that the
foreclosure of railroads under the first
mortgage extinguishes all other claims,
as they will certainly decide if present
conditions are permitted to continue, the
way will be clear to transferring every
large system of railroads in the country
into the hands of the money syndicates of
Europe. When that time and the result
is reached, the salaries of railroad presi
dents and other high officials, which run
from ten thousand dollars to one hundred
thousand dollars a year will be scaled
down three-fourtlis. The present system
of management which is independent of
the bondholders, will be entirely within
their own hands. From claimants as
mortgagees they will be in the position of
absolute owners of the entire means of
transportation in this country, and dictate
the wages and salaries of all employes,
from track men to presidents and super
intendents.
Attached to these railroads are over one
hundred and twenty-five million acres of
land in the form of grants, donated by
Congress along with their charters, while
the people were diverted from the things
of vital importance, by a sham battle over
tariffs and bloody' shirt. In addition to
this vast territory composing railroad land
grants, private persons, Lords, Earls,
Dukes, and foreign syndicates own fifty
six million acres more of the territory of
the country which has cost them almost
nothing.
In view of these facts it is readily seen
what a powerful hold the foreign money
trust, familiarly known as gold standard,
is getting on this country. When the
Wall street and English press of the
country (which embraces nearly all the
daily papers of the large cities) boastingly
publish the investment of foreign capital
in this country as something greatly to be
desired, the people should view all such
investments as chains of slavery in place
of somethinig desirable.
We wonder if our people do ever seri
ously' consider where they are drifting
with our railroads owned and controlled
by foreigners, our best mines and largest
establishments in their hands, and a for
eign money trust controlling prices of
| everything, dictating laws that shall be
J passed by Congress and filling the houses
of our national legislature through their
political agents, the National Banks?
This process is steadily going on and it
is the inevitable result of what is flip
pantly called, by people ignorant of its
results, the gold standard.
In place of this*financial scheme being
a gold standard or any other kind of a
standard, it is a cunning device of a for
eign money trust to plunder the wealth
producing masses of the world.
It has placed thousands of millions of
National, State, railroad and other cor
poration debts on this country and crowd
ed down the price of prodnets, so that it
will be forever impossible to pay any
more than the interest on them. The
laboring and wealth producing classes of
the old world are burdened in the same
way, but far more heavily than this
country. In fact they are iu a condition
of wage slavery, so grinding and impov
erishing that they are too feeble to com
plain above a mere whisper.
| This gold standard money trust is in
] league with the crowned heads and aris
tocratic classes of the Old World, who
I force the interest on these foul debts from
the people in the form of taxes by their
i standing armies, which are kept always
; ready to murder the people at the first
1 symptoms of their refusal to be robbed for
! the beuefif of these Shylocks.
This is what the gold standard and
1 “sound money" mean, these are the legit
imate fruits of the scheme. The National
l Banks are the instruments of this gigantic
‘ money trust iu this country, and they' are
; using the Republican party as the politi
> cal machine to fasten firmly the slavery
. of low prices and uuextinguishable debt
3 on the people of this country.

The Honey Question
Is a newly issued volume on the great
question of the hour, which is advertised
in the Midland Journal, and an ex
tended review of the work is published
011 our fourth page. The book is more
than a mere work on the question of
money. It is also a complete history of
the conspiracy which has been more than
thirty years developing. The stealth, the
, bribery, windings and dark underground
scheming by which the sleepless money
trust did its work are miuutely traced and
, a compiete history of the crime laid bare,
the ultimate object being the overthrow
of this republican government and the
setting up of a moneyed aristocracy in its
[ stead. Every monarchy in Europe is iu
I this plot.
The political battle of the next ten years
will be against this power. The remon
. etization of silver is only the first pitched
. battle. There are many ethers fully as
, important to be fought and won before this
. nation is firmly established and secure
against the unscrupulous and cverscliem
. iug money power.
, This question must be studied by the
people that they may prepare for the
p great war of the ballot which is before
. them, and there is no other book which
contains so complete anal} sis of the
, money question and at the same time a
. history of the plots and'scheming which
. has accompanied the gold standard con
, spiracy. The offer by this paper (see ad.
j iu another column) should be the means
. of placing this invaluable w-ork in the
hands of hundreds of people in this sec
tion. There is pressing need among the
. masses of the people for information on
, what is to be the leading political ques
I tion for several years.
. This fiist effort of this formidable aris
. tocratic power was felt immediately after
, the Revolution, when it was organized in
. the Federal party led by Hamilton. Jef
ferson opposed it and rallied the people
. and succeeded in overthrowing the aristo
cratic and selling up a democratic form
of government.
The next effort made by the same
, power was directed by the National Bank.
This was a most formidable effort but was
met by General Jackson, wlio rallied the
• people and finally overthrew and destroy
ed the Bank which had entered the polit
ical arena with its money, just as its
whelps, the National Banks of to-day, are
battling against popular government and
rule by tlie people.
This arch enemy of government by the
• people saw and seized its next opportu
nity when tlie nation was in the midst of
, the great slavery rebellion, and has by all
’ the cunning and strategy of liberty’s
' mortal enemy pushed its advantage
undiscovered, by getting control of the
two old political organizations.
Happily for the people the mask is
thrown off and the colossal money power
■ is waging a hand to hand battle against
the people. The remonetization of silver
■ will repulse, but not conquer, this arch
• enemy of mankind, and the better the
, people prepare for the long struggle into
■ which they are entering the more surely
1 and speedily the contest will be ended,
1 and this new work which is offered as
a premium to subscribers, will prove a
■ most valuable teacher.

Blowhard.
On the part of the goldbugs, this cam
-1 paign has turned into nothing but a blow
hard, brag affair. Their speakers and
“campaign literature” failed to present
any facts or arguments which the people
could accept, and they finally ceased to
place any further dependence in them and
took to brag, bluff and extravagant, crazy
' claims, going so far as to boldly claim
states in the south and west, which they
1 know and the public know, McKinley
hasn’t a ghost of carrying. The leaders
appear to wholly depend upon their des
perate pretence of claiming everything to
’ fool and stampede the people following
' up with millions ot money to complete
the work by bribery and buying votes.
The gift hearing Greeks are approaching
r the “middle-of-the roaders,” such as Tom
1 Watson and Paul Vandervroot, who not
being able to lead the Populists, the op
portunity encourages the gold bribers to
approach. Such men whom disappointed
ambition has soured are liable to be
tempted by the enemy.
The plain people of these United States
are placed on their intelligence and man
hood as they never have been before. If
the goldriug cause fails in this contest
they know they are forever ruined. Hence
this desperation, the like of which has
never been witnessed They had per
: suaded themselves they were entire
masters of the situation and boldly offered
a pitched battle in the open field. With
them defeat means total annihilation, with
the people it would mean only a repulse,
who would quickly reform their lines and
commence the campaign ’9B and 1900.

Mark Ilauna lias hired Ingersoll to
speak for McKinley and the gold trust.
, In one of his McKinley speeches against
, silver he took the motto on the silver
i dollar, “Iu God we trust,’’ for a text and
! thoroughly disgusted the church folks.
, Hanna also hired Powderly, the labor
i leader fakir, who was hissed down by the
l Union people, and Hanna had to call
! Powderly off. The church people ought
. to hiss Ingersoll down too, or what is a
' thousand times better, vote for Bryan,
and not shame themselves voting the
' ticket that “Bob” Ingersoll votes and
’ speaks for. When Hanna hired Inger
