Dow. IS then, SteadfaStiy adhere to prin-

fore deuOUnCe the new Sherman silver
lg, under which one-tentb of our gold
g0ckhaS been exported. and all our silver
l,puJ IS damned up at home, a false

, free bimetallic coinage, and as tend
lg only 70 produce a change from one
ild o. mOuO-metalism 10 another. We
. ,-.refOre unite with the friends OF hon
IS. money everywhere in Stigmatizing
4 le Sherman progressive silver basis
sw as no solution of the gold aud silver
i position, aud as a tit appendix to the

surplus, the advancing deficit, the de-
s.t,ye census, the falsi1ed representa-
ION and the revolutionary procedures
tAe billiOn-dollar COngreSS-all justly
condemned by the peoples great upriS-
4 ls asst NOyember-a verdict which, re-
wed next year, will empower Demo
a,ic statesmen TO guide the peoples
a-lcilS and 10 execute the peoples

4le interests Of labor should be fOS-
