What going TO DO about tl You and and

question. The LID Congress has assembled, is al

Senate White House is wiser course open than that
Democrats send up for defeat what Will cost

to the great facts ard pivot policy on those Here is
fact: Democratic legislation by this LID Congress
Ia quite impossible. Pebald legislation OF course. is
possible-I have no interest that. Here Is another
is the largest fact with which our great leOders

make your plain, simple, single, IL possible then
keep them and unconfused and let the sovereign
people Judge. Therefore. at Emira, suggested this
course:
l. Pass no free coinage bill pass only necdfu appro.
p.ssAon bills, enforcing economy.
q Grapple TO undo the worst Of
the Billion Congress- Demand repeal Of the
sherman Silver law and the two Mckinley
laws
No small issues untrely issues. no new issues no
other issues Gspple TO undo the work Of the Billion
Congress. the country and its silver laws and it,
tariff laws they stood before pary's mis-
adventure in 1888 and before the Infamous Republcao
revolution. Demand this and nothing but this and keep
on demanding this IN Congress- in our State conventions
in our National Convention and throughout the canvass
till .undown next November.
Now gentlemen, wiser will suggest wiser advice.
But 10 thought in the little city Of Elmra that this

will happen throughout NewYOrk State next November
n such advice good fortune be approved BY
the ed wisdom Of Democratic Senators and Repre-
senstives in Congress. Doubtless they aud will do
far bette. But that would be good enough.
