observed all the pledges he made to the
people. He has stood by the paramount
interest ef his constituents. To defeat
him aud elect . man who. IL be were true
TO his party, must be false to the people,
would DO more 10 injure the cause Of free
coinage than anything else the people Of
Nevada can do. Mr.. Bsrtine !. . 2e
publican. II elected, he must be true to
his party affiliations, and false to the
people Of Nevada. II is impossible TO
train in the ranks Of gold monopoly and
advance the cause Of free coinage.
There is no more propriety in a friend Of
free coinage serving in the ranks Of the
Republican party or with the Cleveland
Democracy than there would have been
for . Union man to have served in the
confederate army. or . secessionist in the
union army.
The fact that Republicans and Cleve-
land Democrats are lighting . sham bat
tie over the tariff was never so apparent
ss il is 10 the present canvass. When
the tariff bill WAS about to pass the gold
party became alarmed for fear Of losing
the tariff issue. Cleveland came to their
rescue, denounced the bill. and declared
that the war for tariff reform must pro.
coed, ssd that the bill passed by the
Senate was not the tariff reform to which
the Democratic party was pledged. He
was compelled TO give the reason why.
and in his letter to Wilson and Catch
ings be gave that reason. Free cosi and
iron. for which New England were clam.
oring, were not in the bill. although the
tariff on those articles had been reduced
from 20 to 40 cents 0 ton. He declared
that the agitation must continue until
this oppressive duty was removed. The
absurdity Of keeping up tariff agitation
for free coal and iron after everything
else had been arranged to his satisfaction,
can be appreciated when il is known that
the entire duty on those articles at 20
cents . ton was less than Q million dol
lars, and that not one voter out Of .
hundred ever knew whether or not there
was any duty on either coal or iron.
The Republican orators Immediately
took up the gauge Of battle thrown down
by the Executive, and are now canvass
ing the country against the wicked
Vaccinations Of Mr.. Cleveland. who
wants free coal and iron. Neither the
Republican party nor the Cleveland De-
mocrscy care two cents whether the 40
cents duty ON coal and iron is repealed
or not, but they prize the issue above all
others, because il enables them to con-
tinue the cuttle-6sh game Of dsrkenine
the waters by tariff discussion to pre-
vent an examination Of their schemes oil
plumber through gold standard contrsc-
lion.
Times have been growing worse evel
since silver was demonetized. The PEG.
pie have suffered more and more under
each successive administration. Thii
gives each party an opportunity to At
tribute to the other all the calamitieI
which have come upon the country,
Each party promises better times, and
breaks it's promise because contraction
continues to make times worse. The
only claim to the votes Of the people tina
either party can have is that the Other
is worse. In short. each party exists OF
the infamy Of the other.
/ hope the people Of Nevada will stand
firm for the cause Of free coinage by Civ
ing an overwhelming majority to thu
Silver Party. Such . result would b,
Invaluable to the cause Of free coinage
while . contrary result would cheer tn.
hearts Of every member Of the gold com
binstion In Europe and Americs.
Yours, very truly.
