Of the people, by the people and for
the people. which at no distant day
is destined to be wrested from the
hands of the ,communistic gold bug
plutocracy by the Peoples party,
then its grandure will rise above the
horizon Of the nineteenth century
like the green shores of this Western
Hemisphere did upon the vision Of
Columbus four hundred years ago,
beyond those shores he beheld bright
a broad land where science and the
arts, agriculture and commerce, civil
and religious liberty, learning and
literature, should ere long establish
their dominion and enlarge their
area aud their influence till an En-
pire such as the world never saw be
fore, should spread from the Allan

n.llions should exist in the perfect
enjoyment of all the inlmunities of
humanity Then gentlemen accept
this flag for your county with the
compliments of the Silver State and
the gratitude of the Silver party of

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen
In 1868 silver was snrreptitiously
demobitized in the interest of the
bond holding and money lending
classes of Europe and the United
States. In 1878 this legislative crime
was in part righted by the passage of
what is known as the BLAND Bill. "
When that act was pending in Con-
gress the opponentsofsilyer predicted
that the partial RECOMMENDATION of
silver provided for in that Act would
be followed by the greatest financial
crisis ever known in this country;
that the gold would all be driven cut
Of the country, and that many other
lesser evils would fellow as a corrol-
laro Of the greater. Thirteen years
of coinage under the ''Bland Bill,
followed and not one of the predic
tons Of the gold bug prophets was
verified, No financial panic occurred
and instead of all the gold leaving
the country it accumulated. Not
withstanding the failure, however,
Of all the anti~silver predictions after |
the passage of the "Bland Bill" ten
thousand lying gold bug newspapers
and host of Republican and Demo
cratic gold bug orators, both great |
and small, continue to iterate and re-
iterate in the face of fifteen years of |
actual experience under the Bland
Act" the stale and exploded pre-
iictions of 1873 with additions and |

Silver and especially in the Silver
producing States an unaccountable
apathy upon this question of most

he very existence of several of the
silver producing States has pervaded
III classes. Until within the last year
nothing was done or said to correct
he false reports in relation to silver
mining spread abroad In the East by
old bug papers and gold bug speak
RS, and believed no doubt in the
bsence of contradiction by hundreds
f thousands Of honest conscientious
oters except what was said and done
" those Senators and members of
4ower House of Congress from the
liver States who were true to the
liver interests, and the most faithful
