The fate Of the civilized world had
always hung upon the strength Of the
Aryan nations to repel the attempts Of
Asiatics to force their way into Europe
and TO food the western world with
oriental ideas and habits, modes Of gov

struggles Of Greece with Persia and Of
Rome with Carthage, the struggles Of
Greeks. Romans and Teutons with tho

alloy and mintage?
20. Would it not be better to let
our present monetary system alone,
than to attempt to tinker and change
it to basis already repudiated by the
experience of the best fnanciers of
the world?
"a. Is it not the duty of every good
citizen to cherish and increase the
confidence of the people in the solidi-
ty and pernanenee of our present
sound honest money system mot even
a Populist will say that our money is
not good, } rather than to waste their
energies in creating uneasiness and
discomfort where they have no power
to improve the condition of the debtor
portion of our people? If not, why
not?
As soon as our "I6-to-I free silver
coinage" philanthropists. who are
shedding such bitter tears over the
fancied woes and distress of the s'debt-
or class" will wipe their eyes and
answer the interrogatories without
evasion, equivocation, or mental re-
servation, we may ask them a few
more questions along this line.
Meanwhile we ask every man to calm
~ think over the matter and decide
for himself whether it is not much
better to take things as they are than
to attempt change by trying some
fallacious policy which universal ex-
perience has taught US to be utterly
worthless and fraught with newt
able disaster.
As it will probably be long time
before our Populist and free-silver
people will answer the above queries
to the satisfaction OF the intelligent
voters of the State, it will be we'll if
every Republican voter and all others
desiring the welfare of the country,
should refuse to be led astraY by the
sophistries and false reasonings of the
"free-silver' advocates, but stand
fast by the principles of the Republi-
can party that have given US prosper
ity for SO many years and founded
the best financial system ever devised
by the intelligence and patriotism of
man.
With protection for our farmers,
manufacturers, and laboring men,
from both foreigner and his pauper-
wage products, and the controlling
influences of Republican Congress
for future safety in finance and legis-
lation, we can go forward with con-
fidence, resting assured that free-sil-
yer demagogues and Populistic vagar-
les will not be allowed to retard the
welfare of the country in the forward
march to an era of unexampled pros
perity now assured by the return of
the Republican party to power.

move them. The experts did not go into
an examination of the alleged Irregular

Broome is happy because the experts
have prepared a report unfavorable to
