AN ELY SILVER MAN
Wants a silver Fight to "a Finish.


The following sound silver letter
we find in the Carson Appeal, writ
ten by citizen of Ely:
ELY, May IL, 1892.
Hon. I. II. Wells-My Dear Judge:
No questioning the fact OF the state
ment. We are left, and badly left,
too! Both the old parties are work
ing in harmony on the silver ques-
ton, and whenever the Republican
party loses its standard of the estim-
ate of sound principle and work
shoulder to shoulder and jowl to
jowl with progressive, unpatri-
otto Democracy, Notwithstanding my
long continued and unceasing devo-
zion To the general sound principles
advocated from its birth; and while
l regard it as the grandest party ever
organized by the brain of man, yet,
when platform after platform is to-
tally ignored by its leaders; while
promises OF the most sacred charac-
ter are made, but be broken; while
one of the prominent industries of a
large portion OF the best citizens OF
the nation is not only totally neglect.
ed, but virtually paralyZed by their
hostility to that industry, and by
being joined to their idol, to witt
the "golden calf;n-I say after all
this, that have ceased to have
any confidence in the promises
and pledges Of the party leaders, and
it is hoping against hope to expect
any relief from them, and 1t is high
time that the people of the Silver
States rise up as one man regardless
OF past party ties, and vote for none
only those whom they know not to
be enemies, but staunch and unques-
toned friends OF silver. II, by this
course, the Republican party fails OF
success, the blame is on the leaders
and they cannot shake their gray
locks at US, and say we did 1t. We
have given them eur assistance in
favor of high tariff. for the manufac-
lures of New England and Pennsyl.
vania, as we'll as the wool-growers OF
Ohio, and we have received in return
what-theIr sneers and their iibes,
and the assertion, you might say,
that the silver question Is scarcely an
issue, as there is only few millions
of us. | say, let US make it lively
issue, and in order To do so we must
kick, and kick hard, and keep on
kicking, My opinion is that II we
4 :
succeed In electing about thirteen
Presidential electors to send to Wash
ingten, they will come to the conclu-
sion very readily, that this question is
an issue and a very live one. and that
they will very much need its assist
ance (or that of lis adherents) in
making President in short order.
The truth is we must do something
ourselves. or make permanent vlsi.
TO some other place. We cannot run
State governmot unless the silver
industry gets national protection.
The way it is now, the metal Is no
more staple than wheat. barley, rye
or carrots. We canot call it money,
Tor we cannot say today what it will
be worth tomorrow, 1t is nothing
more nor less than commodity. IL
is an article oftrafiic and speculation.
Break the hydra headed monsters
neck and the rich will cease to spec
ulale oil the government or to fur-
Their i'm poverish the poor, or working
class. Make the value OF silver per-
manent and it will cease to be an ar
ticle of traffic, aud the shylocks OF
Wall street will cease to be capable
of causing vicious, un-American leg
islatiop, with its Shiny train OF evil
concomitants.
/ saw fight them and "rattle the
bell till the ship goes down" We
want no laggards in the Silver Camp
let each strive to gain the foremost
ranks. Let us fight it out on this
line if takes the remainder OF our
natural lives, and may God assist the
right. Yours truly,
