TO HELP SILVER.

Next year 3 political aCGlOn Is 10 EoL-
tie the fate of silver for many years,
possibly forever. The United States
has most lively recollection of the
value silver money has been TO this
mighty new nation, which was OIL ce the
offspring and vassal of England. 1t is
bit suggestive that today the power
which has really been instrumental in
destroying silver is England, the
power resisted successfully by the
struggling colonies an hundred years
since. 1t was long and bitter war,
eight years, but our independence was
Won then. 1t must be won again. By
some surprising Iedgerdemain we find
ourselves in bondage again. We dare
not formulate domestic policy, es-
pecially on finance, without first ask
ing consent of the mother country.
The independence won in '76 is gone.
We have voluntarily returned to our
former yassalage, it seems. We are to
fight oyer again the old battles which
gave us Independence of England. The
old former war was fought with guns.
The coming war is to be fought out to
finish with ballots. The result will be
the same. The victory in '76 made US
free and independent, the victory in
'96 is to make us rich and prosperous
again, as we were before our traitorous
leaders betrayed us into a financial
thraldom as CALLING, as unmanly and
as destructive as the former.
All that is necessary is to enlighten
the m2sses of the voters of the east.
BY an unholy alliance between the pa
pers and the bankers of the eastern
and northern states, the masses of the
people there have been kept in utter
ignorance OF the monetary question,
ignorance of the principles involved in
this struggle. Correct action on their
part is perfectly assured whenever they
understand the situation. The common
people Will at once break away from the
upon them This will be done when
or great silver orators go among them
to tell them of the atrocities perpe-
trated by these reckless spectators in
the sweat, the tears and the blood of
the masses, or when they have been
suppliedswith papers brave enough and
true enough to give them the truth
rather than the false financial doctrine
as formulated by the bankers of Eng
land.
The west can help in this good work.
Let her send her bright and brave
young men east to preach the gospel of
free silver. Let her raise money
enough to establish an able free silver
paper in New York, one in Boston,
another in Philadelphia, and place
these upon a basis solid and enduring.
and the work is done. 1t is only the
ignorant who are enslaved. The ignor
ant do not read the papers or listen to
reason. The men of the east are not
ignorant save only on silver. Let us
educate them. a few hundreds of
thousands of dollars and the work is
possible, the result assured and the
victory, and with it, financial indie
pendenCe is won, are won. The west
and the south are not sick and there
fore do not need physician. 1t is the
east and north only who need and re-
qure the free silver doctors. Let the
west supply the need, and be assured
that for every dime we thus expend |
double eagle will return to us.
We have talked enough. 1t is a busi-
ness proposition. Let US raise the
establish the papers and send
out the silver missionaries and the
work is done. One million of dollars
will do it, and ten millions can be had
if required. Who will set about the
work of redeemlng again this fair land
from the thraldom of England? Five
years from this date and it will be too
ate. Now is the time to act.
