STILL AN ISSUE.

The silver question is still al issue,
and it will continue to be one until the
white metal is given its constitutional
place in the finances Of the country.
Under the promise Of '.good silver
legislation" many good democrats in
both houses of congress voted for the
unconditional repeal Of the Sherman
law, honestly believing that the prom
ises were made In good faith and
would be executed.
Those fellows who were deluded by
such promises should not be sent back
to congress, for their surrender was a
complete one to eastern interests.
But permitting the .dead past to
bury its Dead" we can only turn our
eyes to the future, firm In the resOlu-
ton that no tradition nor principle OF
the democratic party shall be forsaken
to appease eastern money sharks.
The silver question is a live one; it
is a vital one, and must find its solution
in the democratic party.
No step has ever been taken in the
national congress to demonetize silver
that has not been accomplished by
deception.
This is true of the act Of 1873.
Grant and Blaine were both Ignorant
of the fact that the Sherman act
demonetized the white metal.
This is likewise true of the repeal OF
the Sherman law, which was submitted
to under promise Of further legislation
The people are tired Of the Wal
street way Of regulating the finances Of
this country, aud in this matter it will
trust the mOneyed interests 10 more.
The fight is on!
1t is principle against fraud, and
against false theory.
The battle will be fought at the
ballot box, but it will be warfare in
earnest.
In making our nomination for con-
gress let us not turn our flag owe to q
mOnOmetallist, nor to any one who does
not believe in the principles of bi-met-
allism which were laid down by Jeffer-
son, and which have been a policy OF
our party since its birth.
In other words, let us not sell OF
lease the birthright Of democracy in the
fifth district.
The demonstration of silver is un-
democratic and unconstitutional.
RECOMMENDATION is an issue, Il potent
one, aud 10 bound to be victorious.

tn DIR MINERS.

The INTELLIGENCER need not now
tell you that 1t is your friend, nor that
it has been your friend through the
recent unpleasant strike in which you
have engaged.
BY your action on last Monday, you
have given this paper as high an
endorsement as it could ask from
anyone.
When you began the strike we
advised you against such a move.
When the fall season opened, we
appealed to you, in the names OF your
loved ones, to 60 to work.
We were not ignorant of the influ-
ences that were brought to bear upon
Won to continue the strike, nor at any
stage of the trouble have you been
without our sympathy.
We trust that you have not listened
to agitators so long that you cannot all
so to work.
Your action, last Monday, was what
it should have been months ago; how
ever, s.tO err is human" and in
following the advice of N who is not
of you nor for you, whose interests are
in no wise identical with yours, You have
simply made a mistake-one Of those
that falls to the common lot of
humanity.
The INTELLIGENCER is proud of your
action on Monday; proud because it
was a righteous action, and that this
paper alone championed your aus
and fought your enemies; proud
because it was IN its power to lay
before you the ~rascslity of your ser
wants that you might act accordingly.
Had the INTELLIGENCER remained
silent upon q matter in which you and
u entire people were interested, it
would have been untrue to itself,
derelict to a duty it owes humanity,
and public censure and public cOndem-
nation should have been heaped upon
it. 1t would feel that it had disgraced
the profession and its home had it
remained silent and permitted the citi-
zens to have been imposed upon by a
blatant rascal, assisted by a half dozen
henchmen.
But the battle is over, and now we
ask you not to forget the lesson it has
taught.
You fought with the wolf at your
door, with your wives crying for
bread, and your children almost dead
with hunger, for six months.
BY listening to the commands of
an ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS leader,
you have been forced to battle with
death and starvation. only to give up
in absolute and complete surrender.
Let this strike be a lesson to you.
Strikes are justifiable.
History does not record one that
ever resulted to the benefit of the
laborer, and we believe 1t is safe to say
that it never will.
In the bitter school Of experience you
should have learned q lesson, and If
you have been faithful pupils, you may
never regret having thus learned.
II your interests can best be sub
served through unions, learn now to
elect none but true men to represent
you, and place none but honest laborers
in positions Of authority.
Let this strike be your last!
DO your own thinking, and never let
any man stand between you and the
hungry mouths of your wives and
children.
II the INTELLIGENCER has made
enemies in giving you honest advice, it
thanks God for them. They are of a
class that we would not call friends.
They are not men; they just wear
mans form. They are counterfeits
upon humanity; they are of ''nature's
baser metal"
