representation from the various county
and local organizations.
This organization. however. asks no
member to forsake his party affiliations
until the forthcoming national eonven-
tion Of his party shall have neglected OF
refused to comply with our request Tor
the nomination Of a free coinage candi-
date for the Presidency. on a free coin
z platform. With that end in view,
we urge the most perfect county and
precinct organization. We urge the
most faithful and diIigent attention to
the primaries. to the end that the county
and State conventions may not be con-
trolled by professional politicians. We
urge that the delegates to the national
conventions shall be composed OF the
very best men that the respective parties
in our State can produce-always giving
due notice, however, that no candidate
whom such national convention shall
nominate shall receive our support at the
! polls unless he shall unquslifiedly favor
the full reconciliation Of silver, and
shall stand squarely on q free coinage
platform.
We further urge that Colorado delega.
tions to the national conventions shall
make it a point to confer with the dele
gates from all Of the other Western and
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 q unit in
making their demands and representing
the sentiments Of the voters Of their re.
spective States and Territories.
And finally we urge upon each indi-
vidual member OF our organization to re-
gard his written pledge as absolutely
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 q course be
necessary.
Now, we come TO you and respectfully,
but earnestly, urge your hearty and
prompt cooperation in this great work.
We ask you to organize at once. Organ
ize silver clubs in every city, town, vii
lsge or mining camp-yes, in every neigh
borhood. Let county and State organiza
tions follow Immediately after. Organ
ize at once, in order to do effective work
at the primsries-both Republican and
Democratic-to the end that your voices
may unite with ours and that our com
bined influence may be felt at both Min
nespolis and Chicago. Ii the hitherto
Republican States west of the Missouri
river will but enter into this work with
the same spirit that pervades the voters
Of Colorado, we will present a force at
Minneapolis that will at least command
respect. Remember that the vote oil
these States Is absolutely necessary to the
life of the party. Then, if the voters Of
the new South will, on their part, enter
as heartily into the work. they can &C
complish quite as much, if not more, at
Chicago.
Only q few days since the commercial
price of silver fell below 90 cents an
ounce-the lowest price reached in the
history Of the world. From that point
it has constantly and rapidly fallen
until, at this writing, it is worth but
c~ighty-fve cents an ounce, and the
finger Of the oppressor still points down
ward.
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 Q
realizing sense of the situation in very
short order. Business stagnation is in
evitable. The farmer will plant ant
reap, but his crops will rot on his hands
or be sold at q price far below the cost o.
production. More laborers will be ou'
Of employment.
Now, look around you, and judge fol
yourselves whether or not this appeal /
timely.
Politicians tell you that the tariff il
the leading ISSUE" The tarif-like thu
poor-is always with US. We assert tha'
silver is the issue. Fully forty million
Of the American people demand its i'm
mediate reconciliation.
Shall we continue to act at GROSS pur-
poses. or shall we join hands for the com
mon goodf
By order OF the State Executive Com
mittee.
