the attitude 81 a Drmoer,,ic ad-
ministratlon 10 silver, while that
party protested itself in favor Of the
cause Of silver. Notwithstanding
the professions Of such friendship
by that party and Of its admiration
of the cause of the silver dollar. the
said party placed before the world
in 1855 az its candidate for the
Presidency the very man whose dis
gusting antipa,hy TO silver, as
shown in his messages to Congress,
caused this panic in the ranks of
the silver men, manned the activity
Of the silver market and thereby
virtually closed the shafts Of the
mines and locked the doors Of the
smelters to al least two-thirds of
the toilers therein engaged.
The Teaseension Of the Republi-
can administration with power. and
the defeat Of the Democracy in that
year has never been apparently re.
garded by the Democracy as re.
buke to the party by reason of its
policy in the silver interest. That
party to-day occupies the position
assumed by its leaders the past six
years. 1t has been the mission Of
the Republican party, ever on the
right side, TO protect and foster the
growth Of home enterprise and home
industry, year after year, shows its
policy. To-day it ia through Re-
publican legislation that silver
stands higher in the market than it
has ever been in the history of civil
lization, either primitive or advanced.
a new impulse has given to the
silver mining industry n healthy
circulation Of its vital fluid Con.
fidence in the silver market is re-
stored; mines are again opened
shelters are running, and mining
camps to-day present appearances

ming to be plentiful again; wages
are raised in the Wood River
country; soon to be raised else.

here. when every miner cabin in
the hills of Idaho will be home Of
comfort, plenty and happiness.
Now the miners Of our land, pro.
tected by a Republican Congress
and Senate, will receive the just
compensation in the shape of in
creased wages to which they are en-.
titled and by which their families
may be enabled to live in n manner
we'll befitting American sovereigns
and which by Democratic antagon.
ism to American silver they were
denied, and Of which they were de.
prived by reason of reduction Of
wages at first, and next by enforced
idleness evolving from the Anti.
Silver Democratic Rule.
Workingmen in general and
miners in particular, before voting
consider how you will cast your
ballots. win they be for those
who blighted and crippled your in,
dustry all over these rugged hills
or for the party which has revived
it? The would-be Democratic Sen.
ators and Congressman Of Idaho
may be in favor of silver while in
Idaho, but when at Washington the
lash of the party whip is potent
enough to drive them into the Anti
silver traces and keep them there
at the will Of the National Demo
eraey. Hearst Of California, with
his millions Of dollars, aud his
large silver interests, fell into the
anti-silver line At the crack Of that
whip. 1t was more powerful than
his home interests and he suceum-
bed. So will Democratic National
Legislators from Idaho if elected.
The Republican party is with your
interests. 1t protects them. Hav-
ing swept chattel slavery into
oblivion, its mission now is to pre-
vent wage slavery. VIII you vote
for the party that has stood by
your industry and elevated it, or
the party that will undo all that
the former has done?
