Our Views.

The Bossier Banner is friendly to
the cause of free silver and it heartily
approves and commends the efforts
being made all over the United States
to place silver on an equality before
the law with gold in the monetary
system of the American Union. We
believe that silver should be restored
to the position it occupied prior to
1873 in the laws of our country as
one Of the standard primary monies
OF the United States, and that it
should be done independently and
without regard to the action of Eng
land or any other nation. We are
opposed to gold monometallism and
we are opposed to silver monometal-
lism. We firmly believe and adhere
TO the doctrine of free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver on
terms OF exact equity and without
discrimination against either metal
for use as the standard primary mon
ey of the United States. We are
for remonetization- restoration--res-
titution and not disorganization, and
we stand ready to labor for the sue
cess of the cause of silver. But the
Banner proposes 10 do SO inside the
ranks of the Democratic party. We
owe no political allegiance to any
other faction or party, and we will
"pi" our type and throw it in the
street before we will desert the Dem
ocratic banner. This grand old party,
which has been, and will continue to
be, q mighty bulwark against central
ization; against a moneyed monarchy,
fostered by class-legislation and gov
eminent favoritism; against negro
supremacy in the South, and against
q marshalled musketry at the polls
to this party we owe allegiance, and
no othsy, and will support its regular
nominees from President down to
Constable, regardless of their fnan-
cial views, fighting for them in sea-
SON and out of season.
So long as as free men maintain
free speech and free thought in free
country, so long will Democracy nee
essarily exist. When these things
have ceased, then the Banner don't
want to exist. 1t will strive to pro-
mote the interests Of the people of
every class-the farmers, the mer'
hants, the mechanics, the laborers,
and will work day in and day out for
the good Of all, by Loyalty supporting
the Democratic party.
