FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product Of American mines,
at the old ratio Of 70 Of silver to 1 of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy Cor the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition Of trade, manufac-
turc and general business Of the coun-
try. The surrcptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was a crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankcst kind
Of class legislation in favor Of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act
oftreason because done at the instance
of European syndicate and for bride
money, "giving aid and comfort to
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to cx-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa.
pers for the coming season to include

If the Democrats of Kentucky
expect to elect men of their politi-
cal faith to either county, district
or state offices, they must teach
the Democratic committees that it
is their duty to try TO secure cleo
tons instead of nominations. The
county committees in several coun-
ties in this state have played the
devil with Democracy by working
to secure the nomination of their
pets, thus killing their influence
at the regular election. --Montgom-
