why?
DO you realize that the bread

centered in that of silver? Silver
way down--no bread and butter.

SO, come, even at some sacrifice, to

which Nill take place in Ell PasO

entertainment ever given in the

question of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver before the people
in forcible manner and to make
them feel that all is not yet lost.
She gives these festivities during
these four days not to advertise

but to look after the immense

hers are immeasurably more so.

make up your mine that this whole
