Silver Coinage.

SiIver-free coinage-will be the
battle cry of the people in 1896; and
if the old parties do not come out
squarely for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver dollars at ratio of
16 to l, and make it a legal tender,
the party that fails to do it, will be
disrupted. The Democratic party
has always been favorable to silver,
and now is its opportunity to make
itself clearly understood upon this
most important question to tie peo-
pie. The Democratic candidate
for President must be a free
silver man, of whom there is
no doubt of his sincerity and
honesty, and he must be placed
upon an absolute and unequivocaI
unlimited free coinage silver plat
form, at the ratio of 16 to l. With
this the Democrats can win; without
it the party might as well make nc
nominations for President. Demo
cratic candidates for Congress must
also stand upon such a platform
The silver people of this country
are in earnest, in their fight for sill
yer.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.
An Address From Western Demo
Gratis With the Right Ring.

The silver manifesto of the West
ern Democratic members of the
House of Representatives has been
made public, and is as follows;
so the Democratic Party Of the
United States
1--WE, the undersigned Democrats,
present for your consideration the
following statement: We believe
that the establishment of gold as
the only monetary standard and the
elimination of silver as full legal
tender money will increase the pur-
chasing power of each dollar. add
to the burden of all debts, decrease
the market value of all other forms
of property, continue and intensity
business depression, and finally re-
duce the majority of the people to
financial bondage.
1--WE believe that no party can
hope for enduring success in the
United States so long as it advo-
Gates a single gold standard, and
that the advocacy of such a inan-
ciaI policy would be especially fatal
to a party which, like the Demo
cratic party, derives It's voting
strength from those who may with
out reproach, be called the common
people; and we point to the over
whelming defeat of the patty in 1894,
to the opposition aroused by the We
to of the seigniorage bill and to the
still more unanimous protest against
the issue of gold bonds as proof that
the Democratic party can not be
brought to the support of the gold
standard policy.
ave believe that largo majority
OF the Democrats of the United
States favor bi-metalism and real
ize that it can be only secured by
the restoration of the free and un-
limited coinage of gold and silver at
the present ratio, and we assert that
the majority have and should exer-
else the right to control the policy
of the party and retain the present
name.
ave believe that it is the duty of
the majority, and within their pow
er, to take charge of the party or
ganization and make the Democrat
party an efficient instrument in
the accomplishment of needed re-
forms. 1t is not necessary that
Democrats should surrender their
convictions on other questions in
order to take part in the settlement
of the question which at this time
surpassses all others in importance.
ave believe that the rank and
file of the Democratic party should
at once assers themselves in the
Democratic party and place the
party on record in favor of the i'm
mediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and sill
yer at the present legal ratio of 16
to l, as such coinage existed prior
to 1873, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation
such gold and silver coin to be a
full legal tender for all debts, pub
lie and private.
ave urge all Democrats, who IA
vor the financial policy above set
forth, to associate themselves to-
gether and impress their views up.
on the party organization. We
urge all newspapers in harmony
with the above financial policy to
place it at the head of the editorial
column and assist in the immediate
restoration of bimetalism."

it pleases you and meets

otherwise bring it back

The public debt is insignificant
compared with the thousands of
millions of obligations which weigh
with crushing force upon the mill
ions of our fellow countrymen,
while half the worlds money has

the prices of all property from

means to make their payments have
gone down one-half. If, with the
