The Result.


In all the history of political pa.
ties there never was one that has
made the hcadway in so short a time
as the Peoples party. Read the his
tory OF ;all the parties and see. The
Peoples party. now only about six
months old. nationally. has elected
more county, state. and national Off
GERS than was ever known in the his
tory OF any party. Have we lost any
thing: No. To the contrary. the
principles advocated by the Peoples
PARTY have swept South Carolina,
from the lowest to the highest officer.
and with few exceptions. they only
voted for Cleveland with the knowl-
edge that they could not elect
Weaver. Have We lost anything
in the national election? No. sir.
We Will. have about thirty-five
to forty Congressman and Sen
ators elected by the votes Of
the Peoples party who are pledged to
every measure in our Platform. as
against thirteen who were: so elected
and pledged to the last Congress. We
have carried several Northwestern
States where members of the Legisia-
turc will have to elect a successor to
the present incumbent in the United
States Senate. We have elected Con
grcs>mcE in tho South, maybe one OF
more in Michigan. and more than a
score of them in the Northwest: be-
sides we have elected Congressman in
the States of North Carolina and
South Carolina whose platforms are
| almHst identical with oars. Who
got anything to be ashamed of? Who's
got anything to take back? Who's
| got anything to feel bad over: MOI
| We. No party ever made such prog
| ress in the history Of the world

England and in the United States,
! "old has given to it and impaired by
law legal, fictitious, and arbitrary
value, in o which the commercial value
has been merged, SO that there is no

by those in position to know. that

by which silver is practically demone-

1t will be readily apprehensied that

parrot-l;ke cry that silver is worth
only so and 50. when this worth. or
