[rhe following piece of poetry was
handed to us the other day by our

the case, and repeal was the remedy
suggested. 1t is impossible, however,
to estimate the effect of business
alarm. The wolf cry Was paid more at
tention to than the gold-bugs anticipa-
ted, and as a consequence it has been
hushed up somewhat in advance of an
application of the proposed remedy.
The much abused Sherman law is not
yet repealed and business confidence is

tous predictions made by the repealers

The recent vote on silver in the house
rs given by the Congressional Record,
shows how the two old parties line up
on this question: Democrats for silver,
1l6; Democrats against silver, So; Re
publicans for silver, -; Republicans
against silver, l07. These figures would
indicate that despite Growers vehement
opposition the party of Jefferson and
Jackson still stands for silver.

1t is every day becoming more ap-
parent that the late depression was

clause in the silver act was the wolf in

The New Party.

THE HERALD acknowledges receipt
of letter containing a draft of the pro-
posed platform of the new party, which
is to be named "lhe Liberal Party of
the United States of America" At
tached to the document is the following
The Meeker herald., 1893-09-16

Nearly all the Colorado banks which
suspended during the early stages of
the recent "bankers' panic" have re-
sumed operations again, and news of
assumptions are coming in from all over
the country, indicating that this un-
necessary scare has spent its force.
Also from all parts of the country as
surances come that the industrial de-
preston is fast passing away; manii-
featuring establishments are opening
up everywhere and signs of returning
prosperity are everywhere visible
throughout the East. And in this
the hour of returning confidence Colo
rado is not without hope of better
times, as mining operations are show
ing renewed activity with fair prospects
all along the line.
The Meeker herald., 1893-09-16

In another column will be found the
call for a Democratic county conyen-
ton, and Democrats throughout the
county are urged TO attend the pri-
maries. If voters do not attend the
primaries and thereby give expression
to their choice of material to be voted
on by the convention, is it reasonable
to expect that they have the right TO
the time-honored privilege of kicking
if the same is not asserted at the proper
time and place ? At the primaries is
the place to make known your wants,
and the convention is good place to
register all kicks.
