a little with the govt. And he said
Behold, Grover Cleveland and John
Sherman are my most trusted servants,
and have done more toward building
up my kingdom in the United States
than any two men in public office since
the days of Judas Iscariot, and when
they are done with that life, verify,
verify, they shall have their reward,
for, behold, ] have place prepared for
them.p And as we talked a knock
came to the door and messenger en-
tered in haste, and bowing low before
his majesty, exclaimed tSatant Satan!
haste thee to the United Statesl No
thing but thy presence can do us any
good" And Satan said, "Why this un-
seemly haste?" And the messenger
answered and said. Behold, Bland,
Bryant, Teller, Wolcot, Jones, Stewart,
and number of other Senators and
Congressman are trying to remonetize
silver and pass other measures for the
relief of the people. And Satan was
in great fright, and straightway took
his departure for the United States.
He was gone but a short time and when
he returned he was smiling and said,
There is nothing to fear, for these
men are still in the Democrat and Re-
publican parties and as long as they
stay there they can't accomplish any
thing, for they love party better than
principle. But if they were to organize
a straight silver party, irrespective of
former political beliefs, then, indeed,
would my kingdom in the United States
be in danger" Just then awoke and,
behold, it was dream.
Now, my friends, l want to make an
application of this dream to politics as
they exist at the present time. The
members of the two old parties are
welded to them and well may We ex-
claim, ''Ephraim is Joined to his idols,
let him alonew Let us do as once old
commanded his followers to do, "Come
ont from among them and be not of
them" We may expect to be called
cranks and fools for taking this step
and those loudest in such cries will be
the newspapers of the two old parties,
who are the loudest in their cries for
free coinage and who admit that it is
the most important measure now before
the people. Why don't these would
be moulders of public opinion join the
ranks of the true bimetalists and help
bring about the state of things they |
seem to be so ardently contending for?
Simply for the reason Satan gave me
in my dream. They love party better
tba principle.n You cannot gather
grapes from thornso figs from thistles.r
If the fountain head is muddy, you can
not expect the stream to Do clear. My
lear friends, we have been fools long
enough. We haye lived on empty
until we are troubled with
empty stomachs. Let us then, every
me, put our shoulders to the heel of
and if Sherman or Cleve-
and or any other goldbug gets in the
way, run over them and crush them.
let Us elect men TO be our representa-
ives, who arc uncompromlsing free
liver advocates at the time honored
alto Of IS to l. And then if they sell
ut to the money kings of this or any
tther nation and then haven't decency
nough to "Go and hang themselves"
By the Eternal Wen do it for them
On next Sunday morning at the same
iour, d. V. we will have a few more
lords to say. And now if the congre-
alton will sing shouting the Battle
'fy of Free silver,n we will be dis
nissed.
