This organization, however, asks no
member to forsake his party utilization
until the forthcoming National Con-
vention of bis party shall have neg.
looted Or refused to comply with our
request for the nomination of a free
coinage candidate for the Presidency,
on free coinage platform. With that
end in view, we urge the most perfect
county and precinct organization.
We urge the most faithful and dill
gent attention to the primaries, to the
end that every county and State con-
vention may not be controlled by.
professional politicians. We urge that
the delegations to the National Con.
venttons shall be composed of the very
best men that the respective parties
in our State can produce-always CIV
ing due notice, however, that no cam
ddate whom such National Conven-
ton shall nominate shall receive our
support at the polls unless he shall
unqualifiedly favor the full remonet-
ization of silver, and shall stand
squarely on free coinage platform.
We further urge that Colorado dele
tons to the National Conventions
shall make IL a point to confer with
the delegates from all of the other
Western and the Southern States
who should represent the wealth
producers, instead of the money
power-to join them in caucus, to the
end that they may act as a unit in
making their demands and represent
Ing the sentiments of the voters Of
their respective States and Territories.
And finally we urge upon each in
dividual member of our organization
10 regard his written pledge as abso-
lutely sacred, and to be faithfully
redeemed at the polls In November
next, even to the support of a third
party candidate for the Presidency,
should such course be necessary.
Now, We come to you and respect
fully, but earnestly urge your hearty
and prompt cooperation in this great
work. We ask you to organize at
once. Organize silver clubs in every
city, town, village mining camp-yes,
in every neighborhood. Let county
and State organizations follow imme-
diately after. Organize at once, in order
to do effective work at the primaries
both Republican and Democratic
to the end that your voices may unite
with ours and that our combined in
fiuence may be felt at both Minneap-
oils and Chicago. II the hitherto
Republican States west of the Mis-
souri, river will enter into this work
with the same spirit which pervades
the voters of Colorado, we will pre-
sent force at Minneapolis that will
at least command respect. Remem-
Der that the vote of these States is
absolutely necessary TO the life OF the
party.
Then, II the voters of the new South
will, on their part, enter as heartily
into the work, they can accomplish
quite as much, If not more at Chicago.
Only a few days since the CONNER
cial price of silver fell below 80 cents
an ounce-tbe lowest price reached
In the history OF the world. From
that point it has constantly and rap
idly fallen until, at this writing 1t is
worth but eighty-five cents an ounce,
and the finger OF the oppressor still
points downward. For that reason
mines are being closed, miners
wages are being reduced, and in
many instances they are being dis
charged.
Within the ranks OF this class, then,
the force of this appeal will be felt.
But the business man will be brought
to realizing sense of the situation
in very short order. Business stag
nation Is ineyitab The farmer will
plant and reap, but bis crops will rot
on his hands, or be sold at price
far below the cost of production.
More laborers will be out of employ
ment.
Now, look around you, and judge
for yourself whether or not this APP
peal is timely.
Politicians tell you that "the tariff
Is the leading ISSUE" The tariff,
like the poor man, Is always with
us. We assert that silver il the issue.
Fully forty millions of the American
people demand its immediate re-
monetiZation.
Shall we continue to act at cross
purposes, or shall we join hands for
the common good9
