PLAIN AND UNEQUIVOCAL

Both the can didates for the presi-
deDcy, last race, ran on sneak plat
forms, SO far as silver was colo rned.
This will not do in the coming race.
The people have be en- befooled to their
most capacity and will have no more
Of it. The platform which catches the
silver men next race must not stop at
an expression in favor of bimetallism,
or IAN enlarged use of silver" That
Is too thin for '96 and besides it is
worn out. 1t caught its gudgeon in '92
1t is now ''old bait" The adipose
patriot of Buzzard's Bay can't swing it
next time, and if he expects to be presi-
dent next time, or at any time in the
future, he must get over that nonsense.
Nothing but an out and out free COIN
age declaration will do the next candi-
date bit of good. The world has seen
enough misery already with q short
money supply. The west having had
taste Of 40 cent wheat for three years is
willing now TO part with equiYOcsl ex-
pressions, and cent cotton has
brought the south to her senses on the
Cleveland question, 1t was a sorry
day for the south when she gave up
her democratic conscience into the
keeping of Grover Cleveland. She
cannot afford to again battle for man
who has pursued policy which ar
rested her prosperity just as she had
filed the measure of her penanoe for
the great mistake of '6l-' -'65 and had
begun 10 feel solid earth again under
her tired feet.
This same song is being sung by the
ragged chill iren of the silver producing
mountain states. We can afford no
more such platforms as those fashioned
at Chicago and Minneapolis in 1892.
Another such mistake and this coun-
try would not be worth living in. We
need aud must have more money
We have not half enough and
instead Of still further lessenine
the supply we must increase it by one
hundred per cent. or more. Men are
growing old in poverty and wretched-
ness who would now be rich, or at least
comfortable, if the Rockefellers, the
Goulds and the Vanderbilts had not
gathered all the substance of the ma
tion into their own Golfers by reason oi
the increased value of gold and the
lessened value -QfY6gRjn by by law is the
cry, or else by the force of revolution
bloody and terrible as that will be if
ever it breaks out on any such issue.
In this coming battle for the living
chance the great west and the sun
shiny south will stand shoulder to
shoulder in the conventions, at the
polls, or in the trenches. Which will
the country have it? Is 1t to be the
battles and the bloodless triumphs of
peace, or is it to be those of blood, of
war and all of its attendant horrors
and suffering? Has not the west made
sacrifice enough? Is more demanded
OF fer? If 50 she will pay no more.
She can pay no more. Through pov-
erty, distress and suffering she has
stood loyalty by the government-un-
complainingly. Sle will do no more.
She has barred her good right arm and
she will strike and spare not until her
rights in silver are restored. She is
formidable in and of herself, but with
the brave, true south by her side, she
is inviucIble. The voice of wisdom
will utter the words, the east must not |
have it all any longer. Tue advantages
of he government must be more evenly
distributed. The restoration of silver
is all that is necessary, ergo, it must
be restored.
