violating its promises to the people
"bjrctly cowardly and nncondlt"n-
allv surrendered to Grover tlcv"-
Atnd, and, with one murdcroua blow,
struck silver down Ia its everlasting
death.
THE CAUSE OF SILVER Is DEAD.
After the vote in the House to-day
the man who believes in the posi-
bility of any additional silver legls-
lation at this or the approaching
regular session Of Congress is either
knaye or fool. Silver is dead and
downed. Representatives of the
people, who by every moral and pc
Iitical obligation were committed to
maintain silver as the money of the
people, have betrayed the people.
With the voice of Jacob they have
plead for silver, but with the hand
Of Esau they have Cowardly assass i
mated it.
THE CAUSE IS LOST.
Unless the people take it up,
drive the towards, traitors and
money changers from power and es-
tablish their right to rule this coun-
try.
WHAT Is AHEAD:
The future defes all prophecy.
With half the circulating medium
destroyed. human Ken cannot fore
tell the disaster that is Immediately
ahead. From the rich mans panic
the step is short one to the starva-
ton and bankruptcy among the la
boring people. The crisis is newt
able and the temper of the people is
such that it will not be tritled with
any longer.
THE RESPONSIBILITY.
The vote in the House fixes the
responsibility upon the Democratic
party. There is no escape from it.
y ma ority of the Democratic party,
aided by an almost solid Republican
vote, determined bv its vote to per
petuate the Republican system of f.
nances and, in doing SO, to forever
demonetize silver in this country.
The record has been made, and here
after the man who tells the people
that he is free silver Democrat,
and that the Democratic party is in
favor of the free coinage of silver
ought to be Kissed down. BY its
vote to-day the Democratic party
has declared that the Chicago plat
form.
By its cowardly surrender to- day
the Democratic party has declared
that Grover Cleveland is the Demo
cratic party. Ruthlessly has il
trampled tradition, principle, prece-
dent, decency, virtue, to the dust
and wind. Shamelessly and unblush-
ingly has one Democratic leader aft.
er another in the debate, declared
that Grover Cleveland was the Dem
: ocratic party. These same men have
scoffed at and ridiculed Democratic
, platform declarations. Day after
day the chorus has been sung by tn,
New England Democrats

:. A WATERLOO.
: The vote repeating the Sherma
i law is Waterloo! It has but on
+ meaning. 1t will pass the Senate b
l. the same emphatic majority. Th
l. day is lost. The one hope is in til
d people. The one expectation is tn
g next congress may be strong enoug
IS to crush the administration.
