Inls ID the season OF the year
when it is customary to greet
every one with ga merry
Christmas and happy New
Year. While this expresses
the wish that THE CAUCASIAN
has for every one of its read
ers, yet we are sadly reminded
that it has for the majority OF
the people but little reality as
far as the good things of this
world, are necessary to produce
it. With years labor just
ended, and but little, il in
deed anything, to show for it,
and many even poorer than
when the year began, it is hard
to see how a man would man
age to be very "merry;;" and
in the light of the experience
of the past, the ''happy New
Year. does not loom up very
auspicuously.
But let our condition finan-
ciallv be ever SO bad, yet we
always have much to be thank
full for to our Creator. And
besides, every reformer has
more to be thankful for now
than at last Christmas. The
people are more aroused and
determined to-day than then.
Since the world began there
has probably never been a time
when the masses of the people
were SO much interested in and
SO well informed about the
affairs of government. They
realize their duties and rights
as citizens, and at the same
time the nature and functions
of government. This being
so, this is the most hopeful
day ever seen for free govern
ment. We are to-day nearer
the divine plan of equal
rights to all and special privil-
eyes to none'' than ever before.
It is true the people have not
yet gotten relief, but we have
now gotten things in such shape
that it must soon come. The
issues are clearly defined.
Those in power must SO legis-
late as to give to every man a
free and equal opportunity to
work, out his own prosperity,
and to enjoy the fruits of his
own labor. This is all the peo.
pie demand, and knowing their
rights will take nothing less
Yes, those in power must dc
this, Or the places that know
them now will know them nc
more. Let every patriot take
fresh courage and press OF
through the year 1893 with re-
newed energy, for victory i:
near at hand. If relief doe:
notscome from this adminisrra
tian, it WILL come when the
people get one more chance tt
speak and exercise their power.

In a magnificent free coinage
speech delivered in Denver,
Colorado, on the S,,h inst. SEN
ator Stewart spoke as follows OF
the great victory Of the Populis,s
at the late election:
Then through the misrepre-
sentation OF apowerful press and
the liberal use of money the gold
ring succeeded in inducing the
masses of the voters to sell their
birthright. But by the grace OF
God, there were some who were
not blinded, Applause. Mark
my words, that when the count
is made public in every state it
will be found that the vote for
the candidates Of the Peoples
party will cause the widest alarm
and dismay among the little
horde of conspirators who would
further rob the poor to more en-
rich the. rich. The vote was un-
precedented. Itmakes the gold
tyrants tremble. Applause.
1t was mightier uprising than
that which came in behalf of the
abolition of slavery after fifty
years agitation in behalf of the
right of all men in this land to
be free. Applause
THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY.
"And the cause is righteous.
1t is the cause, again, of human
liberty. / say human liberty, be-
cause without money we must
become slaves. With the gold
standard We must be deprived of
money and we must become
slaves.
"But take courage all friends
of free silver: The united pro-
test of Colorado and her sister
states has encouraged the friends
of freedom everywhere. You
have sent the glad tidings from
sea to sea. The mountains have
buried the enemies of silver ap-
plause and they dare not show
their heads. From Nevada to
Utah we planted them too deep
for resurrection. Laughter and
applause. We would not trust
a county Office to an enemy OF
silver.
