have ye, 'o see The hr-; nau ,u
this entire section Who disappro,e.
ITS work. Still there seems 10 be a
fe~ Populisis in different psr,s OF the
State who are inclined 20 think that
the committee. in leaning from the
Republicans, leaned too Gar 10 the
Democrats, and = few Democrats are
laboripg under the same delusion.
II undersiand the situation, our
people are wiling Ia co operate With
ANYBODY on rkIScifLr NO
BODY II cooperation involves . com
promise OF principle. Adherence 10
this maxim makes us more drcads a
by the money power to-day than
either OF the old parties.
Mr. j. NJ. Leach in . recent letter
TO the News and Observer says ,h.
silver forces must Toe unified, and he
wants this done by all the silver sl~-
ments walking into the Democratic
party. He says: "If Democr.cy
swallows Mr.. Butler and his atty
thousand votes il will not beoome
Populist.-
hope Mr.. Joe Daniels and bis cor.
respondent, Mr.. Leach. will shan
don that idea Of Populist and silver
Republicans being swallowed MP by
the Democrats. Such q delusiou is
q serions injury 10 the cause of sill
yer. There Is not a Populist from
ocean TO ocean who is not a silyerite.
The Democratic party is divided into
halves on the question. the silver
half being only hals in earnest, be-
cause IL don't seem 10 want IL. IL il
doesn't come through the Demo
cratic party.
The Peoples Party stands ready
to-day 10 put as many or more votes
IN the box for river than either Of the
old parties. Ii is said there ar.
about nine million Of Democratic and
Republican voters IN this country.
About five million Of Populisis and
Independents with Popuiist leaning.
Mr.. Sovereign and Mr.. Dets are leav.
ing no stone unturned 10 show their
organizations In the cities th. utter
futility Of further strikes, and that
their remedy for relief is at the bal
lot box: their success alop e this line
with Populists will prove the 81. Louis
convention, July 22nd, the bigges,
convention OF the three. To these
combined forces the country is in.
dsbted for silver being An issue in
this campaign. Upon these com
bined forces with independent silver
Democrats and silver Republican,
will depend the salvation Of the
white metal.
The Peoples Party 10 the only
party whose national convention has
dared to declare for silver at lG 10 1,
and it has had to fight both -&he old
parties to keep il even q living issue
to-day.
Now after all this work some Dem.
Ocrats are asking us to flop back
into the Democratic party. Look .,
the record made by that party. Read
it silver Democrats. Read il silver
Repu Dlicans. Read il Populists.
First the 49th Congress with q
Democratic majority Of 42-April s.
1856, killed silver at 10 to /. The 52nt
Congress with . Democratic major
ity Of 14S killed il again the oath OF
March 1892. The rame ConRres,
July 18th Overwhelmingly defeated
it after it had passed . Republican
Senate August 23rd, 1893. Cleve
lands extra session Of Congress killed
free silver by two thirds vote, Thil
Congress had . Democratic major
ity over both the Republicans and
Populists of %, but the ten Populist,
voted for silver ss they always do
2l7 Democrats we're on the floor o.
the House when the vote WAS taken
and l01 voted for the measure ant
1l6 against it. So, il all the Rspub
licans and Populists had been driver
from the hall, the bill would HAvI
BEEN KILLED by q Democratic ma
jority OF 10. On the same DAY, An
gust 23rd, this Democratic EonRrss
voted down silver 1t IL to I. ct II
to l. 10 TO 1 and At 20 to L. All thes,
efforts for silver were killed by IL,
professed friends - fast 40 the eIerh
could call the roll. On Nsvcmb bs,
1st, 1893, Democratic majority D
80 showed under another effort 20,
silver. October "a, 1893. itwas 70
peated again, and in February 1895
the 53rd Congress with o Dsmocrsti,
majority in both Houses, q Prssi
dent Of it, own choosing, Q 6nancia
committee With that silver Democrat
Dan Voorheese chairman, q majo,
ity Of the committee Democrats
killed DEAD, DEAD, DEAD the las
proposition for silver 1T lG TO I
making eleven silver bills killed /,
eight or nine years; and the Demo
Gratis are asking us to GO BACK r,
THAT PARTY in order to get free sil
yer!
The Republicans FIRST killed il: th,
|, Democrats and Republicans, IL pos
sible. will keep il killed. For NJ,
life / can't see how Republican An,
Democratic silverites will sllov
themselves fooled again.
To be sure, there Is no Populis
. fool enough to walk into such q tran
The Democrats asked for power, an.

silver dead, eleven times dead; eu,
now vhen they are out Of pove
their leaders are profase in prom
ises Of what they will do for silvs
. and expect NJ to believe them.

The Democratic and Rspublieal
parties have simply dissppoints,
