realization Of our hopes, for the resurrec-
tion Of the falling fortunes Of Silver.
| When the Bland Bill WAS forced in
the lower house how stood the vote ?
Let me tell you. l3 republicans, 8 pop.
uists and ll3 democrats we're the silver
champions.
In what camps lies our salvation
Surely not in either populist or republi.
can ranks but in the tented fields OF n
iubilant, victorious democracy.
Give us statehood and Arizona will
add another three votes for successful
termination Of silver.
The three great leaders Of the 4. o. p
Ben Harrison of Indiana, Tom Reed Of
Maine. and Bill Mckinley Of Ohio, are
declared enemies Of silver. Do we want
such men in power again? No indeed.
That President Cleveland is not u
friend Of silver 10 not the fault of the
democratic party. Had the republicans
/ aided the democratic votes the passing
Of the vote over the Presidents veto Of
the Seigneorage Bill would have been
crowned with success.
Jones Of Nevada, than q stronger re-
/ publican never lived left his old love,
because he knows the old party 10 the
enemy Of silver, he says take immedi.
ate steps, regardless Of what England,
Germany and France do, Femonetise
silver. and give Us free coinage.
Senator Du Bois, Of the Rocky
mountain state, will JOIN Jones and say
sdieu to his old party affiliations.
The Chicago Tribune, the republican
organ says that republicans will not
stand the bulldozing of . handful OF
western representatives, who represent
constituency numerically inferior TO
the population Of IIlino. ;, and who
threaten the republican party with an
issue obnoxious to the republican party.
Has it come to such pass that the
welfare Of the great west, the country
that will in coming years represent the
nucleus Of Americas population is to
he endangered by demagogues and
plutocrats.
The overpowering question before Con.
gress is that of silver, and upon its sue
Gers depends our prosperity. And sue.
cess must come quick or our prospects
are such to be dreaded and associated
with desolation and rum.
Yesterday We were at the White Hills,
the ly silver mining camp in the
country, and that only eking out u bare
existence at the present price Of silver,
but give us unlimited coinage and see
what will be the prospects Of your
county, and Of the ~noIe silver produc.
ing territory Of this country.
The income tax il = dem ,crAtic meas
ure, and passed by democratic votes. |
How many republicans voted for it?
You can count them on your fingers
enb The rich men must now pay taxes.
Formerly those in the middle walks Of
life have had to bear the burden of
taxation. A republican Congress has
always legislsted for the com bines, for
the railroads, for the sugar trusts, the
manufacturers and the gold bugs. The
democratic party has downed these
nefarious practices, and will make those
bear the burden Of taxation Who have
reaped golden harvests from the sweat
and toll of the working masses.
Help. my fellow citizens, must come
