commerce. How? A ship load of corn for ship load of coffee, a ship load of beeI for a ship load of spices, ship load of sugar for a ship load of tea, a ship load of rice for snip load of oranges, a ship load of cotton for a ship load of bananas, ship load of farming implements for a ship load of anything on earth you want is not going to seriously re- strain commerce. Turn silver lose and accept it for imports and the world will send their goods here just as they are doing now.
 Free silver from it's natural vasil- age and it will not go over into New England to fight gold, but it will come South and West and build factories, pay debts, remove mort gages and make this debt-ridden, poverty-stricken country like nature intended it-a land of splendor and plenty. Public sentiment has been damed up long enough on this ques- tion. It can not be confined longer. It is going to break over the walls which Wall street and Cleveland have thrown around it, and wash away and destroy them and flood the country with pure, good, non-sec- tional sentiment.
 The people do not want to be con- fined to the yellow yolk of the egg; they want some of the white, for, in fact, the white is the better part of it. They not only want it. but they are going to have it. 1t is an fire pressible conflict" You had as well try to stop an avalanche. There are ten poor men where there is one rich one, and the poor men want free silver, and the rich cannot buy them away from their determination to carry out their wants, and they all have a vote.
 Illinois is not the battle ground. The battle ground is everywhere, ex- cept New England; but New England
  and Wall street furnish the sinews of war for the oppression of the peo- pie. Illinois seems to have inaugu- rated the fight. 1t is said she has done so prematurely. Her action is not premature. The whole people are ripe for it.
 That delicious journal the New York Herald, all things by turn, and never anything on principal, says the South will vote for any Demo- cratic nomi nee, let his silver senti- ments be what they may. Don't you believe it! She will not have to be brought to this test, however, for she will see that nothing but silver platform is formed, and nothing but a strictly silver man is placed upon it. Whether it is true or not, the people believe that dismantling sil- yer has caused our general business depression, and when the committee of Congress was created to inyesti-
