We.t that we're for silver and created
a silver party IN the Senate. 1hSt is
why we can get the silver bill up for
consideration at any time; as Why
ne can take il out OF the hands Of the
finance committee, which has always
been hostile to silver legislation; and
that is why tho bill was taFen up
against the protests O; Cleveland and
the gold trust and the platform OF the
Democratic party and passed through
the Senate. We went 10 them IN
their hour u need, and when We
called on them to give a hclpiuG hand,
they came. II Z silver States cannct
havo friends OF silver urless they will
be friends Ut the friends Of silver
Reciprocity il legislation IS Il neces-
sity, and whoever you elect 10 Con-
gress must DO n man who Will respond
when the silver men OF the West aud
South call. The East is solid against
us. They know nothing OF the silver
question. The great metropolitan

But the people nre now moving every
where. There are in the various or
CARNATIONS in the United States, com
prising labor organizations and trades
unions and farmers alliance, which
have declared in favor Of silver. over
four million voters. The effort FOR
the last ten years has been 70 keep
these voters from uniting. Four mil.

your votes away by voting FOX Weaver
and Field. They rrve for ten years
prevented the Organization ot the
Peoples party by getting into Their
conventions, creating dissensions AMI

in The third party do not understand
the policy OF the gold trust. They
are not as we'll organized as they

You are tod tnat you cannot elect
Weaver and Field; that Oy voting for
them that your vote Will be lost. NJ!
God! would rdthvr throw my vote
away n thousand times than give il

a vote for Weaver is not thrown
away, whether you elect him or not.
1t is a protest; IL IL Il declaration that
Nevada will stand by her friends, and
that she is not the supplidnt tool Of
the corrupt gold ring. II is n declara-
ton OF Independence and OF manhood.
II will be followed by similar action
elsewhere. The example OF Nevad.
at this time is Invaluable. Nevada
mus. sustain her friends. Nevada
must nc longer be in the hands and
under the control OF our enemies.
Now, SO far as the tickets are ron
cerned, l believe We VI the silver
