SILVER STRICKEN DOWN
Destroyed in The House Of lis PrOisssed Friends
by Large Maloritiss.
DEMOCRATS ARE INCAPABLE TO GOVERN.
Net Line Of Mandatory AZ q in Favor Of Silver.
Ether to Buy Bullion or Coin Same, is
to be Found on Our Statutes

The die is cast Silver has been
stricken down in the house Of its pro-
fessed friends. and one-halt the debt
paying power Of the people is gone.
Not line OF mandatory law is left to
authorize the purchase of bullion or
TO compel the coinage Of silver.
Already the Democratic leaders,
seeking 10 shift the responsibility for
the act, are charging the Republican
leaders with the great crime. This
/ is consistent; that is to say, it is in
line with the record Of the Democratic
leaders for the past thirty years.
which has been to charge all the re-
spousibility for all the mistakes that
have been made during that length of
time TO the other fellow, the other
fellow being the Republicans.
Whether in power or out. the course
to De pursued in either case has been
the same.
1t has been said that the Demo-
cratic party is incapable to govern;
that Will. in opposition it is a power;
charge il with the responsibility of
government and it is a dead failure
And in the light of its past history
since, and for the first thirty years
antedating the civil war, the
the facts in the case would seem
10 warrant the assumption that
its course on all questions that have
come before the American people for
the past sixty years, has been one
long. continuous negative, unrelieved
by single instance wherein it origi-
mated a measure in the interest OF the
great, common people of this country.
With this history b fore it. and on
the strength OF the record it made
under the leadership OF Jefferson and
Jackson, has il gone before the peo-

crime of the century. commit

when the red-handed assassin is sup
posed to be abroad getting in his
deadly work. Have they not told the
people that more money meant better
prices and denounced the Republicans
for contracting the volume of money
that as silver went up, so did the
price OF cotton; that as silver fell. SO
fell the price of staples? Have they
not cited facts and figures 10 prove
this to be the case and convinced the
people that it was the case? And this
being the case, small wonder that the
people are amazed at the present ac-
ton OF their misrepresentation in
congress, which seems to be a little
clonded and somewhat shrouded in
mystery.
But then to pursue the subject can
only enhance the disgust that honest
men must feel at the action of the
party on this question, which is
complete baekdown from the lifelong
record on silver. Let her down easy.
