extended in every direction the latest evidence of our rapid in this direction is the barb wire trade the american exporters have virtually driven the germans out of their own market and forced the hamburg exporters to buy american barb wire which they in turn sell to their foreign customers especially japan the is true of our wire nails which have not only captured the german market but go by of hamburg houses to tapan where they are sold as german nails our canned goods are sold throughout the civilized world and abo glucose from our factories has forced many forciea houses to close pig

con aning its opinions lo 10 cold facts and fie arcs is much disturbed over bryane article in the current number 0 the north american review and bion to assure the author that it the silver issue is revived in the campaign of 1900 the most distinguished and effective element in the personnel of he democratic party will be berroa transferred to the republican eide and defeat aaen administered to it further men who left the democratic party thia year believed that they were doing tern pora rily and that after the brief mid bummer madness which overtook the official representatives of tho party at chicago the organization would return to a condition 0 sanity how refreshing to know that all the intelligence aej good sense 0 the american people is centered in the followers follo were of the victorious party and that they will care for us with that of heart which prompts them to save us from our belvea cut there must be doleful shades creep over their visions when they stop to look the truth squarely in the face and acknowledge that there are voters who have been inoculated with this midsummer madness and who are incur abbea under the gold treatment we wonder if they never ask themselves if it is not barely possible that the are right and the millionaires owners ot railroads and controllers of tho public press and public sentiment of the east together with the blind partisans who follow their bidaine bid dine are wrong 1 we are reminded that six months ago not one journalist in the entire gold circle of the east could give an intelligent answer as fo the meaning of 16 to I 1 at these wiltcie wilt cre who were densely ignorant on that subject suddenly took unto themselves the cheek of charlatans and the air of hypocrites and to berate those who after lonz years of study in the search for truth had become convinced that the fluture prosperity of this country depended upon bimetallism or tho unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver and all because certain wealthy men in the east mainly bankers brokers and coupon clippers bad informed these editors that the country would be ruined by the coinage of 50 cent dollars they look their inspirations from the men who had grown sordid and cold blooded and so envenomed did they become that the poison has not since had lime to work out of their systems that ia why bradstreets continues to throw out its vile matter and why it never grows tired of assailing tho silver people |
