shekels. Still the subsidized press
and paid tools of Shylock work
upon the partisan bigotry and pre-
JUDGES of the American yeomanry
and they believe the unlimited coin
age OF American coinage is all we
need to be happy; but if they give
up their principles as enunciated at
Omaha they will soon awaken from
their blind decisions to find them
selves again sold body and soul to
Shylock's greed by their supposed
friends.
FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE OR
NOTHING, and continue the purchase
of silver until we get what we ask
for, although Uncle Sam should
never have entered into the pur-
chase Of silver, as it makes broker
of him and all the Jew brokers of
christendom prey upon his neces-
sites.
Think of the Idaho legislators,
who represent the intelligence of
the gem of the mountains, CLEANED
from among their less fortunate
townsmen of the various countries,
voting on the memorial to Congress
for free coinage of the American
product. Did these honorable gen.
tlemen who, like the wise man of
old, make the laws which govern
US serfs and poems ever give it a
thought or ask the question what
benefit it will be to us or the pro-
Queer of our newborn state, or did
they simply walk, like bullocks, up
to the slaughter pen and submit to
the slaughter as was dictated by
their party bosses. Did they stop
to think what stumbling blocks
they were throwing in the path of
the ONLY FRIEND the West has in
Congress, that grand old war horse
who has never tired, even against
fearful odds, to do battle for the
white metal and is it not enough
to discourage a less heroic man
than Stewart to have such a reso-
luton thrown in his face by the
representatives of a silver-produc-
ing state, who, for partisan reasons,
would rather see free and unlimited
coinage lost than become successful
if it could not be obtained through
their party. Do we hear Of any
herculean efforts made by them for
free coinage?
Thank Heaven, our popuiist rep
resentatives remained true to their
principles true to their state and to
the producers they represent, while
both old parties remained true to
their instincts and Shylock-their
master; and Nevada's hero has been
maligned, vilifed and misquoted
by those who for years have led the
people to believe they were for sill
yer, like Judus Iscariot who kissed
bis masters cheek that he might
betray him, or Benedict Arnold,
who pretended to be a patriot that
he could the better surrender his
troops to this same enemy that John
Sherman and The Salt Lake Tribune
are trying to betray their country.
The Tribune fought hard and man
fully until the Minneapolis con-
vention: when the party lash was
laid on. 1t sold its manhood and
principle to Shylock, betrayed
its subscribers to party bigotry,
and without blush of shame
turns Hessian and would fawn to
Europe and attempt to deceive its
readers into belief of the none
tary fake, which any man of half
an idea could see was fraud, and
would make any American blush
with shame to think his country
had become the laughing stock OF
the world for political gain, which
rebounded with redoubled force
upon the heads of the tricksters.
Then to still further show its hand
Of cussedness it must wilfullv, ma
liciously, with intent aforethought,
belle our old friend VIM. M. Stewart.
In the Tribune of Jan. 10, 4.h page,
appeared an editorial under the
heading of 1.-THE Silver Cause"
It seems Messrs. Bland and Stewart
and other strong silver men in Congress
want to do away with treasury notes
issued on account of silver bullion, and
simply 20 in for free coinage. =
And moreover, the minis could not in
several years coin what silver is already
lying in the vaults of the Treasury, &c
I now propose to show the readers
Of the KEYSTONE that the Tribune
is unreliable as a silver advocate
and that its editor is insinccre in
his great silver articles, and like
Judas Iscariot Sherman, he is paid
to lie and is trying to earn his
money.
Stewards Bill Sec. 3. That silver bull
ion brought to any mint of the United
States for coinage shall be received and
coined by the proper officers for the ben
eft of the depositors; provided, that it
shall he lawful to refuse at the minis any
deposits Of less value than 800, and any
bullion so base as to be unsuitable for
the operation of the mint, and all silver
bullion belonging to the United States
shall be coined as rapidly as possible
,oithout delaying coinage. -
