The New York sun declares that
the silver people cannot conquer tie

Last year'a certain member OF a eer-
tain church in Georgia was hauled W
before The conference for non-attend-
amer on the meetings.
His excuse WAS that he had TO decent
ciof hes to wear.
The brethren listened to the evidence
which was not contradicted, ami ,ie-
L liberated gravely upon the matter-as
was quite proper.
Finally il was decided not to turn
the brother ogt-and it was also de-
cided to send box Of clothing to the
heathens.
Daily papers for weeks past have
been filled with stories Of how western
epn blican leaders intend to work on
lines to secure free coin
age. 1t is ali fake scheme to prevent
voters from breaking away and desert
ing the party. The western Republican
voters are being deceived by lot OF
leaders who regard the voters with
just the same respect that farmer
does his flock of sheep, and now when
1t is almost shearing time they have
to be herded up carefully and kept in
the light pen.-Chicago Express.
Silver first. Party afterward. Amer
lea for Americans and pay no atten-
tion 20 what other nations say as to
what we shall do with our silver, of
which We have enough in the mines
of the west to employ five millions OF
men for generations in getting it out,
and the mining of which would give
employ and profit to twenty-five mil
lions more. Better have silver dollars
in this country to cover the entire
soil a foot deep, than TO have one mort
gage on an American home or to have
one government bond in existence

The contest is between the money lend
ing interests of the world, and the
wealth produce rs. 1t has waged in
one form or other for ages, and it is
assuming gigantic proportions this
latter end of the nineteenth century.
People imagine that free" govern
ment is q protection against oppres-
sion. but they are deceived. The
money lending interests own and con-
troll the free" government.-1tem.
There don't seem to be anybody at
home now in the Democratic party.
The goldbugs would feel better if they
were in the Republican party, and the
silver Democrats would be more ct
home if they were in the Peoples
Party. There seems TO be no further
use TO keep up the Democratic party
as at present constituted. 1t has nC
fixed principle, is composed of fac
y
power. 1t has been tried and found
wanting, and common decency now
suggests that il ought to be buried.
Isn't it funny that there is never an,
strike among government employees
Why? Because they are generally wei
