LoGAN's STORE. Oct. 23.-The grsa,.
est question OF this age is now befors
she american people for discussion
anu every citizen of this republic has
Tue right to express his honest views
upon it. ''e"s
reier TO the free silver issue.
hen the people complain of low
prices lor the products OF their labor.
tne money contractionists cry out over,
pIoauctlon; and when the people COM
pam OF scarcity OF money thew are
told that they have nothing to sell for
money. 'o'
Ihese terms are incon9ruous
anu neither one is true. As rule
Ine men who get stated salaries for
their services and the professional
classes, many OF them, constitute the
single gold standard element. 1t suits
them to
GRIND THE WEALTH PRODUCING cIAssrs
to powder, and keep prices below the
cost Of production while thew live far
at the expense Of the yeOmanry of the
iand. This state of affairs was brought
ABOUT by the reasonable act of ls73
when one-half of the redemption money
OF the country WAS cut off.
The money cOntractiOnists are using
every effort to
KEEP THE PEOPLE IN THE DARK
as to the real truth of this money
question. They know that they can
no longer keep off the free silver issue.
put II they can keep the silver eIeme Mt
divided into factions by appealing to
party preludices, and by misrepresent-
ing the effect that Il free coinage law
wouid nave upon the people, they have
gained the fight.
10 illustrate, how tickle som. men
are upon subject touching their own
VitaI interest! There is a man employ
ed n the cloth room at Henrietta cotton
mills. He writes for the Democrat
goldbug paper published in Ruther-
ford county. In the last weeks issue
OF that paper he said that all that men
had to do to make times better was to
go to work; that Mr.. Cleveland had
done and was doing what
HE ETHOUsHT WAS BEST
for the country; that men who could
not mananage their own business
ought not to have any say in the affairs
OF this country. Strange to say, this
same man could not make ends meet
on the farm and was forced to move to
the factory, and he is
DOING NO BETTER THERE.
He owed a merchant the sum of 1923
and after failing repeatedly to salts
| ~ the debt, the merchant agreed to
exact only 81 90 per month for twenty
three months and this man failed in
that. Yet he writes that times are
good enough. If he is honest, times
are too bad for men to be able to pay
their debts. 1t is clear that
If HE IS HONEST
he could not spare even 81 90 per month
out of his earnings to satisfy this and
other debts that he owes to other par
ties.
The great masses of the people see
the remedy that is to heal their finan-
cial condition and they are ready to
apply that remedy at the right time, If
they can agree TO come together. Let
the leaders apply themselves from now
on in the work of
UNITING THE FREE SILVER FORCES,
for this is, in my opinion, the greatest
task now to be done. With the free sill
yer forces united, the victory is won
AS George Washington said, "Unitec
we stand, divided We fall" The peO.
pie in this county are going to stand
firm for the money of the constitution
in spite of Cleveland, Carlisle anC
HOke Smith or any
OTHER SET OF TRAITORS.
Now is the time to begin to marsha
the forces for 1896. The patriots viii
have to meet the powers of money ant
a we'll organized band of politicians
and Office-hOlders who will deceive th'
very elect if POSSIBLE. Let them be or
ganiZed for this task. P
