cortea was developed in the brain of
John Sherman, and the republican
party of the nation demonetizsd silver,
the west has become just what the
gold bugs of the east determined TO
MAKE of her, the hewers Of wood and
the drawers of water for the east. The
west, although the greatest possible
sufferer by this selfish policy, has yet
stood most Loyalty by the republican
party in It's determination to perpetu-
ate the degradation of silver. For
what reason or upon what theory no
one can say. Our people have gone up
to st. Louis to endeavor to do some-
thing for silver just after voting,
by enormous majorities, to re-
store that party, the party Of
demonetizatlon, to power. What in
finite cheek does this exhibit! Were
the people of that city to say TO them,
'tGet ys back home and undo your

come back to US and we will consider
your free coinage plea they would do
nothing but what would be considered
logical and fair by ali unprejudiced
people.
So long as we continue the fatal
policy OF perpetuating republican
power in the west, will silver remain
dishonored and our silver mines re-
main closed and our silver smelters be
silent, as voiceless as the former homes
of the Cliff dWellers and as unproduc
tive as the salt fields on the shores of
the Dead sea. Wemust act reasonably
and logically If we would have others
help US. We must quit voting into
power that party which strneR ths
the money of the world and of the
ages, if We would ask help of reason
able ana sensible men.
1t is true the western republicans
deny having been the cause of the deg.
relation of silver. But there are
christians who have denied that Jesus
was the Christ, and with about as much
reason. One thing, however, is GER
tain; if we see the restor-
alton of silver and the former
prosperity of the west, we must all
join hands and vote and work together
not only for that sacred object, but for
the destruction of the republican party.
a thistle will not bear pomegranstes,
nor thorn, figs. The republican
party VIII never can never restore sill
yer. 1t isn't that kind of an institu-
tion.
What is the use, just after casting
an enormous majority for the party
of demonstration, for US to go to St.
Lo7is at no small personal discomfort
and much expense, to ask our fellow
Westerners to help to restore silver?
They, and the world will laugh US to
scorn.
The way to help silver, we honestly
believe, is to beat republicanism.
Beat it east, west, north and south.
When that is done we may then do
some efficient work in the way of re-
monetizing silver, but not till then.
